No, you're not. I'm sorry, but CW Mags is a $45 toy, not worth a dime over $20. MP Mags is a $150 to $200 toy that's worth every penny and then some.

I have them both, and while I'd gladly buy MP again, I'm going to try and sell CW to get some of my money back.

Yeah, I got both as well. CW magnus is fun... but the MP one is on a completely different level of awesome. Its totally worth buying.

MP-UM should be the new standard for "level of awesome".

He's already my standard for 'money well spent' and 'definitive Magnus'

He is quite the show stopper. Even my friends who aren't even into Transformers or collecting toys will stop when they see him on display at my place. MP Magnus in my house garners comments like, "That one's the best", "I'd buy these if they all were made like that.", "Your son prob likes that one the most.".

Ultra Magnus never used his waist in any fiction anyway.

When you're that awesome and imposing, you don't need no stinking rotation

UM is like that under appreciated member of the team who ain't too interested in the spotlight. UM is just as great as his brother's in arms Optimus!

I'm kind of surprised that it's a straight reissue instead of a Powered Convoy repaint

Actually, yes I am. I'm a teenager who can't afford to buy figures that expensive, and given that I don't have any other MPs (though I want to get Shockwave), he would feel out of place in my collection. And while I've always liked Magnus, he's never been one of my favorite characters (unlike Shockwave), so I'm not going to spend $200 on a figure that I don't really want or need.

I believe that it would be better to put this here: customizations-f143.php

Yes, please post your customisations in the appropriate sub-forum

Your thread there will get the appropriate amount of publicity when the next Transtopia Round-Up is posted. You shared it twice, any more and I'll consider that spam.

Agreed, Fenrir!
With TFTM/S3 bot reaches its 30th Anniv. next year, you guys think we're getting anymore figure for the G1 UM? So far, we know the MP22 Reissue will happen in Feb.2016. I'm also surprise they haven't announced the MP22 redeco into his PreMovie/Powered Convoy color scheme. It would be a nice touch if they add the red Bungy robot as a bonus with Spike/Daniel color in the Diaclone color for the MP22 PC redeco.

Pretty much sums up scenarios at my house.
