Just realize that the peg system in bruticus maximus is made of clear plastic... anyone having issues with theirs yet? miens seems fine but I just leave it there and never mess with it with the FP upgrades.

The pegs have a metal core, they're perfectly safe.

I bought a Cindersaur at the end of the summer from a fellow board member, mainly because it had been a few years since I'd been able to pick up a Botcon figure. Now, I'm not a big fan of the mold, having had and sold the Cybertron Megatron version, but Cindersaur is kind of just nutty enough to be super cool. The colors are just ridiculous, and the robot mode is just dopey enough to make him a really nice piece. Personally, if you can get him for around or less than $50 I'd say he's totally worth it.

As for the translucent plastic, I'm considering a Dark Energon Knock Out.....anyone have him and can speak to the strength of his plastic? That's the one thing that's been holding my order back.

haven't yet noticed any issues with the plastic on any of the Dark Energon deluxes. WELL...I lie, I've noticed some issues, but none that seem a real problem. It's mostly just something I've noticed a lot recently on normal figures too: that the parts don't seem to be getting trimmed up as neatly from their sprues/frames/etc before being assembled. Both DE Knock Out and DE Bumblebee have a couple of places where the cut from the frame is a bit messy. It just shows up a lot more on the see-through guys.
