yay!! excited I am! although I will be only picking ratchet out of the two, I'm very excited to see which one they will do the metallic finish on.

by **Darth Vader** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 10:38 pm

The mighty Megatron looks much better, cant wait to see who's next.. Starscream and Prime would look great as well.

No way I'm gonna shell out another 200-300 bucks on another set of Movie Tfs...
If they do Leader Prime in G1 deco and leader Megatron I think I'll get them, otherwise Hail nah!

.....I really hope I'm not the only one in thinking this, but:

WTF!

What was the slagging point of buying all these toys now when they were just gonna do better version months later! Oh man... HA. HA. HA. I need the number to their marketing manager or whatever and shake his/her hand. YOU ARE DOING A REAL GOOD JOB ON FINDING WAYS TO GET MY MONEY! First prices skyrocket. Then theres a shortage. And then the cycle starts all over again. (Not to mention the plethora of exclusives out there now)

Hasbro shoulda done the metallics first! DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, you sons of a glitch!

Honestly, you guys who've been collecting for many years now. Is this NORMAL?! Do you usually buy multiples of the SAME FIGURE!? Not just the same character. BUT SAME FIGURE, with slight varieties. VERY SLIGHT. Why Hasbro?! WHYYYY!!!

<----is obviously not taking the news very well. XD

*sighs* I guess that means I'll just hold off of buying ANY figures till the new metallic ones come out. I'm in no way a completist in that sense, so I guess those type of collectors will be happy and dandy.

I just want a standard set of toys. :sad:

Is that so bad? Damn scalpers!

Anyways, yey I guess... I swear, I really expect a bad ass TF sequel now.

I know I'm getting Megs, Ratchet is a pass, on that note I'm taking these one by one.

HI

I know for certain that 08 bumblebee will get a metallic paint finish...but If they do leader class Prime with chrome or at least silver metallic paint on the current grey parts I am gonna be so frickin pissed...I dont mind spending an extra 10 bucks on another deluxe but those Leader class 40 to 50 dollars I just dont wanna spend that kinda cash again for a figure that should have come with Chrome or metallic silver in the first place....does anyone else agree? :-x

I'd LOVE to see the leader megs with a movie accurate deco. I can't get over the ugly ice on the voyager version.

Here is hoping that the two metallic leader primes that that one guy received for winning that competition are made. I would kill for one of those primes.

Doesn't really affect me much. I repaint or touch up all my Movie toys I bought, so they still look better than any upcoming metallic repaints anyway. :grin:

But if I do see a repaint on a character I didn't have already (Jazz is one. His current versions just not looking very good), I might consider.
