I didn't have any interest in holo Mirage, but now it's almost tempting to get the Fan-vote pack knowing other people will be selling their Mirages - displaying a general release Mirage with a whole passel of holographic decoys around him could be really cool.

There is all that cell shaded like detailing. Looks really neat, but not to my taste. I'd also like to see some actual product shots. Hopefully they'll look as good as the 3P cell shaded offerings.

I can't help but feel that these figures will only look their best from certain angles.

But logically, they will have a restock of them in the coming weeks or months, right?

I don't care about that. I want a blue deco Optimus.

After the whirlwind that was SDCC, this will be classified in the old outdated, boring **** category. I just got around to opening Red Alert and was reminded of how nice that Swipe mold is. Stunningly sharp deco and ultimately I think Red may wear the mold better :-?

can't help but feel I channeled my inner Cobo with this pose

Unfortunately EE shipping charges are higher, so when you factor in shipping & taxes (who charges them, who dosen't, what the item price is...) It's pretty much the same across the board. I guess the best would be to calculate when different site's free shipping kicks in, and if it's worth it.

So are the Rainmakers confirmed to never show up in Canada?

Red Alert looks delightful, carytheone!

I mean it's easier for any repaint of Sideswipe to look better then him since Sideswipe is easily the most generic of the original Autobots, in both looks and personality. (Not to say he's never been a good character but he is very 1 dimensional)

Thanks but be forewarned about their preorder system. I had an issue with them during the Switch preorder that made my bank put a fraud on the transaction as they do periodic checks on the card you're using tosee if funds are available. I dont know if that has changed as the Switch launch was two years ago but I had to wind up getting the Switch from Best Buy instead on launch

Yeah, I think a Perceptor retool is a safe bet.

As soon as Micromasters were announced for WFC I was like "Erector when?" and so far Hasbro has kept disappointing me :lol:

The fact this lineup has playset-associated characters as cheap repaint show Hasbro is dead set on not remaking Micromaster playsets. Which is a damn shame.

Maybe with some heavy retooling, to keep the silhouette right without resorting to partsforming too much of the optical cylinder. But then, why bother at all? The Titans Return version is already amazing.
