    Oh, agreed. I like my WFC Optimus, but Megatron is almost perfect. No kibble!

    Just fine. They aren't coming apart unless you want them to.

    Not sure about the groping, but it's definitely a "carry around with you" kind of figure. Just don't leave the missile in. I wasn't kidding, it's REALLY easy to fire accidentally.

    Hmm, he's shorter than I expected. I thought he was about 5mm taller.

    Hey Peaugh, I've been looking at my Classics OP and SS and it seems as though WFC Megatron should be as tall as the OP's shoulders. In the above picture he comes up to OP's "tits" - so to speak, but that could be the perspective. Can you make a head-on shot of these two?

    I don't have a problem with the wings on Classics Megatron and might keep them when I repaint him soon...I hope. But still we have different opinions for what we think is cool.

    I don't collect WFC but this looks like a VERY cool toy.

    Maybe if I see him on clearance...

    By the way, you can sorta fold his back piece on firmer than you did in the video so it almost snaps into place on his back

    Really looking forward to this guy. Looks just as good as WFC Prime. Soundwave looks to be the best of them all though.

    This is probably my favorite Megatron design ever, so I'll definitely pick him up.

    Man, he looks awesome! Thanks for the review, Peaugh! Interesting that the package no longer seems to be promoting "The Hub."

    This came from a Hong Kong retail outlet, maybe they aren't promoting it over there?

    Thanks for taking the time to take some group shots. One last thing, does Megs have a waist joint?

    No. One drawback on an otherwise excellent figure.

    Well it's not entirely inaccurate to the game that you forgot in the video review. If you look at Megatron in-game while he stands still, you'll notice that he "fiddles around" with his parts, repeatedly untabbing his entire backpanel and then tabbing it back into place.

    It sounds like you chose EMS shipping from Robot Kingdom, correct? Was the shipping cost outrageous as far as EMS from HK goes?

    If you don't mind could you please take a side-by-side shot of WFC Megatron & Universe Special Edition deluxe Megatron?

    You can actually check shipping costs on Robot Kingdom's site by half-finishing a check-out. :D  According to that, EMS shipping on a single Megatron to the USA is $17.99.
