I'm surprised Megatron hasn't sold out yet, actually.

Scourge/Black Convoy: Both are about equally nice, but I'm content with Fun Pub's.

One of my favorite figures of all time!

One of my all time least favorite figures.

Bigger size
Thicker plastic

Tiny
Thin sharp plastic
I've got both molds. The Laser Prime mold in the form of RID Scourge. (wish I had Black Battle Convoy from Car Robots. I just love those mirrored stickers with the upside down G2 insignias!)
The, whatever you call it, that came in the giftset with the G2 Jazz deco and a couple legends. It just feels like garbage in my hands. Yeah, the recent mold has some added floppy articulation with balljoints.
I feel like I'm only seeing people who don't have the newer mold yet who actually want it. I don't know who would want two versions of the newer Scourge mold aside from completionists who need everything. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
I mean, I'm not a huge fan of blocks but a tiny guy with wrist and ankle articulation just doesn't quite do it fo me I guess.
Worst Update Ever.
IMHO. Your mileage may vary.

Once you go teal you'll forever be real! Yup, nothing beats the original.
Good question. Same with Punch/Counterpunch having never appeared in the Sunstreaker/Sideswipe body (unless you count that one convention announcement trailer).JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Come to think of it, he has yet to appear in any Club Fiction in that body. What is up with that?

No offense to anyone chomping at the bit to get these latest offerings in their collection (I too preordered Takara's "Armada" Megatron and Black Convoy earlier this evening), but I kind of hope some of these releases will be delayed just a bit, if only to give my wallet a chance to breathe. Usually, things seem to pile on for the holiday season, but this year, it seems the late spring/early summer is going to be the bulk of the annual offerings.

I work for a living, Moosey. I don't have an unlimited flow of cash, though.
I saw the movie, I got the joke.Moosey wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Moosey wrote:Wolfman Jake wrote:Anyone else starting to feel like this June is quite a crowded month for Transformers releases this year?

I wasn't implying that you didn't have a job. I merely meant for that to be a reference/joke, sorry if you or anyone else was offended by that.
