Impressive! I will buy one.

Seems I'm a little late to the party but....

WOW! HOLY FREAKING HELL!!!!! Wallet is wailing in pain, and I have no idea where I'm going to put it. But If I see it in a store, I'm going to pick it up immediately.

Shipping this beast it going to be too expensive.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, the size and articulation are great. On the other hand though, the city mode is a step down from Scramble City setup - even completely stripped of all the combiner torsos. Also the battle station mode seems a little barren compared to the original. He's still great, but honestly, having had time to step back and look at him again, he's more of an 8 than a 10.

I apologise in advance of this sounding... well... picky.

Anyone else think this is too big? I mean, what will it scale with? I'd rather something the same size as YOTS Omega. I suppose in America having this guy will be less of a problem but in England houses are no bigger than Shoeboxes.

Metroplex is a large character. He is more than just a house. They don't throw around the term city former for nothing.

LOL I know Metroplex isn't a 'houseformer'! What I mean is, space is a premium in the UK, more so than the US. I think my dad's living room over there has similar dimensions to my house. There aren't many storage options for a 2ft Transformer available to me. I suppose I could put him in the spare bed...

this thing is beyond amazing for the sheer size and the price, not going to find much better then this

Simple solution - go with the G1 Version. Articulation will be worse, but overall, I think from what we've seen here, it'll be the better version overall.

I am with you on that thought. When I decided to get a better look (and not really liking all that I see), I realized that they announced this piece around 1-2 months BEFORE TOMY starts to ship out Fortress Maximus. I mean... It felt like they just had to make it 2" taller, as if they needed to compensate for not being able to reissue their version of Fortress Maximus.

But that is my feeling on that. And speaking of space, I currently have to store all my pieces in my closet. Because atop of having them sent to AFA, the bedroom I currently use has no space what-so-ever. That, and the window I have gets pretty much direct sunlight... Which is another issue. So here is me preferring a England or Japan-based home with a room that contains minimal natural light to this room.
