Red Alert will join my Siege mold Sideswipes army, and I'm exited for leader TLK Megs. He looks pretty damn nice and that bonus concept dragon mode is a nice touch!

I think it's finally a new mold.

I think it's finally a new mold.

That's what they said in the video presentation.

What are the chances of Scorn going to clearance price?

What are the chances of Scorn going to clearance price?

From 0% to 100%. You can never know. It always depends on the store. How much inventory they have? How many sold? Do they have to make space for new stuff?

There is one important rule I learned when collecting. If you REALLY want a thing, buy it ASAP at full price. If you kninda-sorta want something nut not that much, wait for a sale.

I remember way back when I saw the DOTM Guzzle on a Walmart peg at 10$CAN. "I want it but these things are always on sale so I'll wait." I never saw it in store ever again. Now, it's on eBay at 60$CAN minimum when factoring shipping.

So true.
In Oz, larger classes such as Titan & Commander are more likely to go on clearance pricing given the higher price tag. I got titan Scorpy for $80 AUD (~$56 USD).

Do not think it's a rule. I never ever saw Scorponok in store. And I never saw it on sale ever. But that Cybertron Metroplex? Available like roaches and went on clearance. But that's the only one.

You were lucky with that Scorponok. But it could be a once-in-a-lifetime thing only.

The new reveals are neat.

Scorn is looking like a great toy, I am beyond stoked with these Titan Dinos!

Megatron looks awesome, and that little accessory based dragon is a cute toyetic touch I love.

I'll pass on most of the deluxes.

Shockwave looks like he has skinny forearms which look weird.

I am all in on Nautica and Shredhead!

In others news, the current Grimlock is pure joy

Today I bring you the newest member of the hive. Age of Extinction Bee.

That leg transformation is nothing short of amazing. Plastic origami at its best.
Eyes that will stare into your sole, and a some what lackluster weapon.

Camaro mode is fantastic. Its gotta be the tiniest painted Chevy logo ever.

Overall he is better than the previous 07 Movie Bee and its retools.

I actually don't really care for AoE Bee. For me, the turnoff is, that except for the wheels and the grill of the car, the entire rest of the car becomes his giant boots, and are somewhat ridiculous in proportion to the rest of the bot. The grill doesn't even get used and just hangs off the shoulders in bot mode. Car mode is very nice, but that is really the only redeeming factor for me. Bot mode is pretty much a fail in my book.

That's the curse of the movies designs, especially at Generations scale/price.
Most have no choice but to be shellformers. Especially the licenced deluxe cars.

AoE Bee gives off those boots are made for walking vibes.
