Definitely getting SW. I'm liking the look of OP as well. I have a couple of these and I enjoy putting them together.

Hahaha, Bee has skates!

I was just thinking that these would be great in a display of fallen autobots or decepticons

Its wasnt easy but it was pleasant once I got the right tools. I made a few mistakes here and there but overall it wa a fun experience and the end result is not bad. Here are a few pictures of my progress:

What was your trick for the rounded parts? I didn't do so hot at those.

I used the a headphone jack. It had 3 diamateres so one usually worked and if not it gave a rounded shape that I could widen or make smaller after.

I finished Soundwave which I am very proud of. I kicked ass on him and all his tiny ass parts, like Lazerbeak. Here is a breakdown of this model:

Here is Lazrbeak

He is so TINY!

Please let us know how it goes. And remember to get tweasers instead of the long nose pliers they indicate.

Well that settles that, Soundwave it is! That tiny metal Laserbeak is sweet.

I might just mount him on my face!

He is so small, he could be worn as an earring.

Well BBTS is out of SW, but they have a Gold Bee.

Guess, I'll just have to look elsewhere. I've yet to see the TF ones at retail though.

Does amazon count as retail? Because they have boatloads of em.

Heres what I bought on Amazon, I got the bug!

No, I meant brick and mortar. Instant gratification is so much easier to justify.

I can nab one from walmart for under $10 shipped free to the store, I just never looked there (or anywhere else for that matter). I knew BBTS had them and I could add them to my stack. WM gots everyone beat on price and shipping. :HEADHURTS:

EDIT: that USS Enterprise is real tempting, I really like the spaceships.

I need to put the Millennium Falcon and the Normandy together.

EDIT EDIT: Have you seen this? I'm not even a Batfan and I want one.
