    first complete yes. Air strike patrol is second as it only has 3/4 members. An argument could be made for the spy patrol but the lack of buzzsaw and (repaint of ravage who’s name escapes me) kind of holds that back as well. The next Micromaster base, airwave, technically has their Micromaster partner, which is overair from the 10-pk.

    You know what. Those deluxe bases / "modulators" coupled with a fitting micromaster kinda reminds me of Polly pocket. Maybe that was Hasbro's transformers answer for Polly back in the day, think about it :D

    Keep one of the Siege Primes so you can swap out the head with Earthrise Prime. Looks better that way.

    I know it's 'just' the basic alternate mode for him, but I'm loving it. :D  I don't have the money/space for multiple Ironworks, but just one is still so cool.

    I'm envious of all your guys with your Target 10-packs. I sat around too long and missed out on them.

    I do you one better. I did play with my sister's Polly pocket when I was a kid (physically). And as of today I actually bought some of those revival Polly pocket sets for my wife. Only to play with them myself haha. The little Legion Classics Bumblebee ist the girls car of course ;) 

    Tomorrow I look forward to posting another Prime 6-gun combo :)

    TakaraTomy will sell the same set as a TTmall exclusive, saying that it is either a U.S.A. or Hasbro release (like they did with the others made for this trilogy).

    I wasn’t sure if/how they were selling our selects, haven’t been paying as close attention to most of their releases the last few years to be honest haha

    Hipskirts on figures can get annoying sometimes. Always forget to flip them out and there are times where they get caught (Like with Siege Soundwave). However, I don't mind them overall.

    More like the Micro Machines "Travel City" playsets--TC's had a clamshell case that unfolded to form the base, then all the building parts and the car built up onto that and stowed back inside to carry away.

    For those who don't like the various markups on Earthrise, it could be worse:
    aliexpress.png

    This is from Hasbro's official site on Aliexpress. The micro master / battle master listing has all 4 sets. You choose a different "color" to see the other available sets and prices ($33 for the micro master sets).

    i can appreciate the emphasis on autobot builders/engineers for wave 1. Like the first to arrive here are to prepare/build for the arrival of the rest of the autobots. Jackie, Hoist, Grapple, and Ironworks

    This is hearsay, but I think they do that to discourage US customers from ordering from Aliexpress.
