i don't know why everybody hates megs because of his transformation. :???: well anyway i found that his center nose cone DOES connect! you have to pull down pretty hard an then you will hear a slightly loud snap. then voila! it is now in place the RIGHT way. then you can plug the 2 other noses cones in the right way. sorry if this has already been posted. :D

I actually kinda like 07 Leader Megatron, but I have nothing but hate for its voyager version. Why does it have all these so-called "ice" effects on them?? :-x

Plug the other two nose cones in? What?

I like him, he's WAY better than ROTF leader Megs. At least he looks powerful instead of deformed and hunchbacked.

To clarify: the arms have pegs where the elbows are. They fit into the two holes on the underside of the base of the nosecone. The nosecone can be extended even.

I think one reason why some people hate the 07 leader megatron is because of the color scheme but the premium version makes up for it. And yeah, I do think the leader 07 version is better than rotf leader megatron.

The Premium Leader 07 Megatron looks pretty snazzy to me. There are a few at a local store but it hasn't been marked down. I'm thinking it's about time it gets a price reduction...no one bought them yet.

Holy crap, you still have that line? Where in Canada do you live and what store?

Anyways, Leader Megs = Voyager Megs. The 2007 molds have their faults, both of them, but I think they also have their strengths. The Best Buy version of Voyager Megatron, which is pretty much a Premium version, is outstanding. Leader Megatron's Premium version is fantastic too.

I live in PEI right now and a local Zellers has the Premium Leader Megatron from 07. Two of them the last time I checked 2 weeks ago. A local Winners had 4 or 5 Leader Deep Desert Brawls a few weeks ago too.

Yup. With the shipping cost to Canada and currency conversion, buying it from BBTS at the great clearance price would actually be almost the same as buying it locally. :(

I gotta pick one of those up, but looks like I might have to just go to Amazon. A toystore near me has it, but it's $60!

So that store is selling a shelfwarmer at a price higher than retail? fail.

Yeah, my local Zellers has a couple of the Premium 07 Leader Megatrons for the normal retail price. And they wonder why those are two year old shelf warmers? They also aren't part of the current 30% discount sale.

I guess they saw the Premium series printed on there, and thought "These'll sell no matter what"

And they saw the layer of dust on the boxes and thought "Vintage...worth more money!".
