You're tearing me apart, Astoria!

Yep. That was my initial assessment yesterday: He is really pissed off about that heart :LOL:

Looking at the entire crop of preorders from today and realized: there's a lot of red and white deco afoot! All of the deluxes have some form of red/white going on and even at the Voyager level, Nexus Prime has red (among other colors). Liege Maximo is a welcome color change in this wave :LOL:

Kind of expected to see Swindle in the mix, too. But he's Studio Series, so we'll probably have an update soon. Still, managed to preorder Powerglide and Liege Maximo.

The new AotP Deluxes look pretty alright. I was the most excited about Powerglide, but I don't understand what he's so mad about, lol. His eyes look really angry, IMO. I'll pass on Animated Ratchet and Cliffjumper, and am really not sure about that Swerve. I didn't like the updated Gears all...

SS86 is aight. I mainly went in for the individual modes, as he is not cool enough (IMO) to dethrone UW Devy. The combined mode is nice but I think he shines in bot modes and vehicle modes.

As usual, I have zero connection to Nexus Prime, but I find him to be a farily standard-looking, blocky, old-school robit. He looks good and all, but seeing as I'm not really hip with the whole Primes thing, it'll be a fairly easy pass. Liege Maximo, on the other hand, looks extremely cool...

Oh yes, I have bought many upgrade kits from DNA over the years (Nonnef is another go-to of mine). I am also a customizer, so I generally take things slowly, and if fitment is an issue, I work to discover why and correct it. If it doesn't want to cooperate, I simply do without. No sense is...

See, this is kind of how I feel, and it's one of the reasons why I haven't thrown down on Magnus. I really like him, but I have multiple versions of his G1 toy, and the SS86 is a thing of beauty (I also held on to the MP version, so there's that). I am mildly interested in the Diaclone...

I feel like some of the G2 colors would be the natural next step, if Takara wants to get some more mileage out of Grimlock. On a related note, if (when??) they get around to doing Sideswipe, I feel like his G2 deco would be a no-brainer, and a surefire way to separate me from some of my money...

As much as I slam DNA for their practices, I went in on the set. I actually never performed surgery on mine - and still haven't opened it 😲 But there was enough about this set to like, and I fee like the price scales well with the figure(s) it is supposed to upgrade. I don't know, but...

The real puzzler to me (not the Gobots one), is that MPG-20 Hot Rod thing. I mean, it looks cool and all, but I'm just not sure that paint and extra materials warrant a $125 version of it.

Yep! I threw down on him. Still on the fence(s)? about whether to go in on either iteration of Ultra Magnus, though.

Yeah, I'm taking more of an interest in them, too. I have been going more towards those Audley figures because the chibi-fied/super deformed/whatever style is not really my jam. But as long as they keep the Wheels line, uh, "rolling", I will be here for it.

Yeah, no idea what "poop" and "preezy" are, but can it also be the new "German guy blocking the view of CW Devastator?" Oh, and the corner store in Botswana is also reserved for Classics Kup.

Ooh, I hope he's a store exclusive, that we're given little-to-no advance notice about when it will be available, and that it'll go live at a super-inconvenient time on a goddamn workday.

^Same. MP-10 was the last one I bought, and I still really like it. I like MP-01 too, but mainly because of how impressive he was at the time, and how exciting the news of his release was in-period.

I am very interested in both of these and managed to snag one of each (Megs on Pulse, Op on Target.com). I feel like I make a reasonable effort to stay "in the know" about upcoming releases and when they'll be available to order. But this time, I saw a random post on another Transformers site...

Alright, I can weigh in on my experience with buying Blokees on the secondary market, as a US customer. So far, I have only been interested in these more "curious" releases (Unicron's head, vehicle versions of Optimus with trailer, Roller, etc., and multiple Scampers for customizing). Yes...

That's a pretty nicely-bought haul!
