It's been a long time since we've had a nice Matrix shelf piece so I ordered that off BBTS. Won't be using it as a bookend, it'll be in the center of my Optimus collection (once I finish rearranging my collection).

I would definitely buy the matrix bookends if the product is of good quality. The rest of the stuff is neat, too, just not anything I'd buy unless I found them on sale or clearance.

Pre-ordered the Matrix book end. Just freaking sweet looking. hate to wait a year to get it though.

So, umm... what’re the chances the Grimlock sword letter opener can be held in Studio Series ‘84 Grimlock’s hands....?

Good thought, but unfortunately pretty slim I’d imagine. Letter openers are pretty small, so even if it could fit in his hand by some godly miracle, it’d be way to small for that figure.

See, I was thinking the opposite. I've only ever known letter openers to be pretty big, basically a dull knife. The description says this opener is 5" long which is pretty big for an 8" figure, the shape is a little on the "fat" side, the color isn't red enough (for me anyway), and the handle would probably take some grinding to make it useable (it's all metal). For the price of $30 and effort involved you'd be better off buying one of the many options on eBay.

The Matrix bookends and he Soundwave card holder look incredible. I really want them in my display case.

That being said, I really hope I can find a place in Europe that lets me pre-order them, because I really don't feel like paying well over double the US price due to shipping fees and important duties.
