Ill be getting both of these. We already know the quality is almost the same as the Maketoys versions. My rule for trailer sets is to buy the original first. Then I get the KO for Shadow, DIA, SG, Crystal, etc. I hope they do one for Scourge too.

Additionally, this is good because it forces Maketoys to work on something new instead of another year of Battle Tanker repaints.

Also surprised no one covering the 3rd Party News Reporting didnt get this first... even Daimchoc!

Probably because TFW didn't report on it either which is where he gets most his finds

Not necessarily...

There, I fixed that for you.

He offers up first crack there sometimes, too. And either way, even if that were accurate, it's still the first it gets posted here. If you're gonna knock it, what's it say about the news here if everything comes from there? I just don't understand why you'd discredit someone doing a valuable service to this site. I dunno, maybe you should make the guy a part of the news crew here instead of talking down his efforts that's beating you guys to the punch. Just sayin'...

I'd consider the Shattered Glass Optimus one just to make Toxitron but I'm going to pass. I have the KO of the regular one and highly recommend it.

1.) Sometimes they beat us to the punch, that's true, but not always. Sometimes we get them before they get us.
2.) There have been times when daimchoc gave us tidbits that came from sources other than TFW, quite a few, in fact.
3.) News crew additions are ultimately up to Seibertron and ElDuque. If they choose to pick someone for the crew, they do it. If not, then they have their reasons. (Just so we're clear, the news crew, the owner, the people behind the scenes.... No one has a grudge against daimchoc and we sincerely appreciate any and all news he gives us. We don't ignore the efforts put forth to help us.)
4.) Lost Cybertronian is entitled to his opinion, we don't dictate how or what a person feels. We might carry a title, we might represent the board, but we're all human first and have a right to our opinions, even if the rest of the staff may or may not agree with it.

I realize LC's post seems negative, but this is the internet and tone isn't always conveyed easily. He might've meant it in a different light and you might be reading into it too much. It works both ways.

Here's a guy who doesnt appreciate a bargin. If you like to spend double on overpriced repaints, be my guest. Id rather have the 50 bucks in my pocket.
