AoE Drift was more fun than I remembered but not a bot that I'd consider necessary. I got him on extreme mark down at a salvage store. I'm torn on blue vs red. From the pics I can't tell if the mold is 100% the same with some slight retooling or not. It seems either all the stock images has him mistranformed or they left out a step on the roof/backpack.
If you like the movies, or the look of movie Drift I'd say jump as it is a fun bit to pose and transform. I just think that most of the movie figures are butt ugly. I've only got a handful and most were picked up at discounts of at least 50% off. Their faces are so monstrous and there is so much creepy robot muscle and sinew. I feel the movie bots are what transformers would look like if made by Todd McFarlane. I used to collect his figures so on that creepy level I've started to appreciate their designs more.
Totally with ya 100%, Cary -- but Barricade appealed to my impulse-buying tendencies for some reason....but I may skip the rest. Samurai Drift is interesting, but honestly, I'd prefer Generations simply for IDW.
