Alright, I need some major help.

I have been thinking it through, and I am really tempted to move $230 from my savings to checkings over Easter break when I'm home to buy Megatron.

someone(s) talk me out of this and tell me to wait

I love that deco though, and I feel I will be happy with any deco that comes out. Besides, what happens if the next ones are more expensive?

Also paint chipping will always be a problem with this figure, it's just inherit with how many moving pieces it has

What does the Force tell you?

The force is clouded. I feel I could wait a few months, but I don't want to wait. I really want the figure, the deco looks good, and I doubt the price would change too much, if at all, especially with how in demand this figure is.

I feel I want it and it would go perfectly with my SG Prime, but then I also have Artfire coming. And then this is a movie year and the Titans Return line has been so good, and this is the worst time to have all these awesome figures coming out because of my graduation and moving and trying to get a job, but I still can make it work and want to, because I don't want to miss out

At the end of 2015 to begining of'16, I jumped on every MP I wanted right away, but since, I have learned that all those very toys are easily available, still. Some discounted.

I don't think you should get caught up in the urge for urgency, but if you want a thing, and can make it happen. By all means have a thing.

even if it is more. theres chances you could get it cheaper from a japanese store or if amazon japan starts shippping to the us again.
and there is the possibility of a sg vesion

How many times were these figures transformed before they broke/chipped?

How many times do you plan to transform him?

I'm not sure, but having breakage this early is a careful warning.

I do plan to transform my transformers multiple times. I display them in both modes, so I like to transform them in that regard, and I also consider them a puzzle that is fun to do and occasionally more challenging depending on what I feel is a satisfactory transformation and also how much of a challenge I want, so I wanted to master the transformation. I enjoy that process, which is why a toy with a great transformation quickly moves up to be one of my favorites.

I know his transformation is long, but it looks incredibly satisfying.

This doesn't mean I won't get him, just that I am more willing to wait and watch now

Right there with ya.

Just imagine articulated Bludgeon and Thunderwing shells.

Oh I am imagining it. It would be frikkin glorious. The pretenders need their love, and I think the current design team could pull it off

I know I'm late to the party but cool pom pom action and I too was surprised by the voice. Don't know why though. How could anyone tell what someone sounds like via text. I bet we all sound different then we expect.

Wait on chippy paint fragile pants there. More than likely they'll redeco the snot out of him.

Sorry, but I'm not on board with modern pretenders unless the shells transform as well, but then why bother. Titans Return has sated my need for lil guys riding in vehicles.

Eh, you're right about the voices. Still can't get over Talky talk Appalachian though :lol:

Yep, decided to wait on Megs. We'll see what happens.

Titans return has been fun for guys riding inside of bigger guys, but there were transforming pretenders!

I think the accent is what surprised me. Here I'm feeling generous...

I was

I've never been told I had an accent, and it's funny to hear those comments for the first time. I knew I did, but actually hearing someone say it is funny.

I've actually heard Va'als voice so I know what he sounds like. I imagine Cary sounding like one of those guys form NCIS New Orleans, Burn sounding a bit like Steve Irwin (RIP buddy), and Cobotron having something close to a cowboys voice :lol:
