Well, that's lovely to hear about something that's over $100 in my neck of the woods.

Fortunately that price tag was also keeping me holding back, so I haven't gotten one of these ticking time bombs yet.

Usually fans are glad when Hasbro makes things accurate to the originals

Well its VERY close to that time of year!

I decided to pass on the Nemesis set for two reasons:
1. Not really liking the face
2. The price, just didn't seem like good value for money and I got plenty of Nemesis primes as it is!

apparently the breakage happens cuz people aren't transforming it properly or something? like not following the steps in the instructions.

imo it still shouldn't break regardless like

I know a guy who broke his SS '86 Megatron because he yanked the arm clean off like a drunken gorilla.

So I'm going to have to wait and see on this Minicon thing, to see what the human error was exactly.

Alright, so I finally opened solus prime! Not going to bore anyone with my thoughts on it other than: I am absolutely in love with the depth of texture on the wheels. It's just outstanding.

Same. But even then, these things are supposed to be able to take a little bit of flexing. (Referring more to the Mini-Con joint here.) The joint could and probably should have been simplified a bit, which is something they've shown a willingness to do with other remakes anyway.

But either way, still in wait and see mode. Is the Prime any more or less susceptible to breakage than the previous use of the mold?
