I'm not sure why, but I REALLY want that G2 Megatron. It's probably just the G2 fanboy in me. Plus, he'd look cool standing next to RTS Laser Prime. Though the Maketoys Armor may throw off the scale a bit...

Also, seeing these Japanese Prime figures makes me wonder when we'll see the Voyagers and Cliffjumper at retail here in the states. I swear, every TRU, Walmart, and Target I go to looks like its entire inventory has been gutted. When are these stores going to restock?

Dang, that G2 Megatron looks nice! My original Hero Megs doesn't stand too well anymore, so I might have to look into getting this and just keeping old Megs in alt mode.

I'm excited for Wipe-Out and the G2 Megatron. Heck, even that Hot Rod's G1 deco is very tempting.

G2 Megs looks sweet. The rest? Nothing new.

Rodimus (Prime) and Thunder Megatron are mine when I see them. I hope my store in Amsterdam will stock them.

You guessed it. Only store if its kind I know, really.

Yup, only brick & mortar imported toystore in the Netherlands. Luckily, they are great guys! They had most of the previous United TF's for realistic prices, so I'd say they'll be good for these too.

Anyhow, back on topic, I really like that Megatron, and I've STILL yet to acquire a version of Rodimus Prime (although I do own this mold in the form of Sons of Cybertron Crystal Rodimus and TFCC Side Burn). This might be the one for me!
