But, being informed by those in the know on the forum that he doesn't have the relevant tabs or connections for a potential MP Victory Leo, my limited G1 MP collection will stand with Hot Rod alone.
Didn't KFC( the toy company, not the chicken)
That made me laugh far more than it should have.

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately I don't buy from BBTS. I once bought the Piranacon reissue giftset for about $20, a real bargain. Only to end up paying an additional £30 in Customs when it reached the UK.. As such it's not worth my while.

- The cost of Masterpiece figures continues to rise.
- The release of new mold Masterpiece figures has slowed considerably over the past couple of years.
- It's becoming increasingly clear that some characters/figures (more minibots, combiner team members, triple changers) are either never coming out or are a long ways off, making completion of the cast a pipe dream.
- Generations figures have been stepping up substantially in quality, cost considerably less money, include almost the entire G1 cartoon cast (and then some), and are much more space efficient in a large collection.
- With the "brand unification" meaning an end to Takara Tomy alternative paint application options, and the availability of Takara Tomy "exclusive" figures like Star Convoy through Hasbro Pulse, Generations collecting for me is becoming even more affordable.
Anyone else feeling similarly?

I enjoy it, but there is definitely a reason that I do not purchase that many. I get the ones that are really cool or mean something to me. I don't think I could justify myself as a completionist for MPs.

As for BWMP, I still expect a Tigatron repaint from Cheetor.

Really? Brawl is a weird choice to me to be next. I would think Blackout or Starscream would come before him honestly.
Trailbreaker better be in development, I feel like we've heard that rumor for 2+ years now

Perhaps, but just seeing the next batch: MP 44 - Overpriced Prime, MP 45 - Bumblebee 2.0, MP 46 - Blackarachnia and MP 47 - Hound.
I thought to myself, the last time they showed off pictures of Hound, he looked ready. Certainly further along than the grey prototype of Blackarachnia. So what is the story here?
