Or if you're super lazy -RIGHT HERE! Searching Ali is a learned skill.

Free shipping to the states, not sure how you Canucks will fare. Be warned, Ali is a dangerous rabbit hole with a very slippery ledge. Good luck

Thanks. It is free shipping to canada but even then I dont find it cheap. This is essentially a deluxe sized figure and I buy deluxes for less than this (as do many of you). So I am not super driven as I would have been. Unless you guys tell me this is an even better toy than that Legends Megatron kit which I adored.

Honestly Will, I think you'll hate the alt mode. It's not that great, and no rolling wheels.

Is the transformation any good? That galvatron looks far more promising at a price I like more. But I dont know if its Legion of Scout scaled?

If you're talking about the KO, it's upscaled to basically being Deluxe.

Yeah, what K said. Galvy is more deluxe size.

Mag's TF is ok. Not that different from other incarnations.

UM is literally the IF UM only larger so more complex than your standard retail deluxe, but as Cobro said, no wheels and the alt mode is a little goofy looking, but works at a smaller scale.

Galvy is taller than a scout, but not quite deluxe height. I didn't know these guys were OS until today.

I've ordered from Ali several times, and so far so good. There is definitely some sketchy listings and ones added to my wish list drop all the time, but so did the listing for the Megatron kit I ordered and received.

Let's see if the good old Sir Toys has some comparison shots.

So here's Galvatron with deluxe Warpath.

And here's Magnus with MP Prowl, MP Bumblebee, MP Hot Rodimus, and deluxe Warpath!

I think the Megs kits we all bought, if from the same seller, might have been the last of the batch. The listing wen't dead after I ordered too, but it showed up. The last three KOs I got were all from the same seller (whose name escapes me ATM. KBMToys? Something like that.) I received all three quickly and in good shape. Last time I looked (last week) they had all these toys we are discussing.

I don't know why, but that's my favorite part.

Also, why Cram why?
