Very nice. I like wingfinger a lot

I just wish his torso wasn't so thin. I definitely like him, but he's not any better than Paleotrex or Ractonite (not that that's a bad thing, all 3 are pretty great).

Rhinox is fine, the bot mode is nice but the transformation is a real pain in the afterburner. Probably won't ever transform him again.

Rosanna (or is it Flip Sides?) is better, but I'm probably gonna have to exchange it for a new one at BBTS since she's got some unsightly color bleeding originating from her red arms.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Very nice. I'm still down on Rhinox, he had a lot to live up to after T30, and didn't quite get to that level. Still, nice grabs.

I think I saw that Rosanna on heavy discount, but passed on her

Definitely would have preferred to get the T30 version, but this one is fine for the price I paid, considering I can't find a complete T30 Rhinox for less than $60.

I went ahead and bought it since we'll never get an official new figure of her (then again, I said that about Star Saber and Minerva, and look how that turned out). I saw that there was a more accurate (read: pink) version, but I had to settle for this one since the other was only bundled with a Masterpiece Twincast that I have no need of.

Pretty nice figure, QC is a bit worse than the original but the colors really pop.

Also, I got my replacement Rosanna in from BBTS and it had the same issue, so they refunded me and told me to keep them both since it was likely an issue with the entire batch. Pretty nice of them to let me do that instead of making me return them.

Very nice, I got mine yesterday and he is really nice. He feels much more solid than my G2 snow camo one. And the paint and extra bits make him look and feel really good

It’s ironically the opposite in my case since the G2 is the one I’m comparing him to. But this is definitely a great start to SG for me. Really looking forward to Starscream and Soundwave.

Nice. I hope I find Pipes and Slammer in stores soon. Just need those 2 and Hot Rod to wrap up the line

Blaster is the only one left that I need to get. Kingdom has been pretty good so far, though I almost universally prefer the vehicles to the beasts (Optimus Primal is pretty good though)

I've been the opposite, I have loved the beasts but disliked the few vehicles i have gotten, which is basically Artfire, Galvatron II, Road Rage, and Cyclonus i think. Galvatron was the only one that really grabbed my attention.

I don't count the Fossilizers in that though, they're their own separate thing. It's mainly Airazor, who I can't quite explain exactly what it is I don't like about her, and Megatron and Rhinox who have really annoying transformations with tons of panels. Nothing wrong with Primal though, and Megatron at least looks fantastic in robot mode so I can ignore the transformation. Rhinox less so, though I suppose I'd rather have him for $30 than T30 Rhinox for $130.

I guess my sample size with the vehicles isn't much larger (Rodimus, Cyclonus, Slammer, Pipes, and I guess Artfire even though he's technically Selects), but I've found I enjoy them more, Artfire and Cyclonus probably being my favorites.

I just hope I find Hot Rod, Pipes, and Slammer

If Siege wave 5 is anything to go by, that might be a bit difficult. I only ever found Apeface in stores. ER Wave 3 was even worse, I don't recall seeing any of those guys in stores.

Very nice. I still wish that toy's robot mode and transformation were better

Between her, Pipes, Megatron, and Rhinox, Kingdom has had a lot of figures with really annoying transformations. Hopefully Legacy does better.

Now, you are speaking my language. i love my I-Ark-conus, that is my 2nd favorite Titan after Omega

He's definitely redeemed Titans for me. I had all of them up to Trypticon and wasn't impressed with any of them (I even traded Metroplex away to my cousin in exchange for POTP Abominus and a few other figures, and all of Devastator except for Scavenger is in storage). Autonomus Maximus (as I'm calling him) is considerably better than any of the 2013-2017 ones, and is making me consider buying Omega if I can find him for a good price. Plus, Omega was the one I voted for back during that Titan vote in 2016 or so and it's only right I get him eventually.

Nice grabs, lego is looking good

They've been making a lot more stuff that I've been interested in these last few years. Overwatch (though I guess that got canned), Horizon, that N-1 Mandalorian starfighter, and the Optimus Prime that looks cool but is unfortunately out of my price range
