I'm really torn... I don't want to wait and spend $40 on a deluxe Bee, but this one has the hammer, and that is awesome and necessary to go with Nemesis Prime

It's kind of a tough call, but I think I am going to get this MB version instead of the Hasbro one. The paint apps still aren't perfect, but they're certainly better than the Hasbro version. I'm really glad they added black paint to the vents on the sides of the Camaro, because there's no way I would've been able to paint them myself without messing up. The shade of yellow plastic appears to be more movie accurate, and there seems to be a slight angle to his arm with the plasma cannon in the one picture, so they might have fixed the problem the original had and make his plasma cannon work on his right arm. Of course, the hammer really does it for me, since I was planning on picking up a third party one anyways. I'm really not fond of paying that much for a deluxe, but I'm OK with buying just this figure.
Although that also means I won't be getting a deluxe Bumblebee for TLK until around 10 months after the figures first got released in the US

Another thing I have thought about a lot. Waiting that long.. for Nemesis it is alright, but for my Bumblebee? Eh. Though I did get the MP hammer, but are they planning to make one for the deluxe? can they? (I forget what kind of hands it has)

Yep! Although it shows it with the wave 1 Bee, it should work with the new one.

Please stop assuming others' financial situations. This post was wholly unnecessary.

That's because Dragon's first language is not English for sure and he must be using Google Translate with mixed results.
Still in a way, he was kinda right. If ye can afford to have toy collecting as a hobby, we logically don't struggle to eat and pay the bills. (If you do struggle, set your priorities straight).
So when I "don't have money" for a figure, it's either because it don't interest me enough for the asking price, or I already blown my extra money of the month.
(Not counting life's usual roadblocks in the form of unexpected bills like healthcare or general catastrophe).
All that to say is do I "have money" or don't for that Nemesis Prime? Because I got rid of my AoE Leader Optimus and Even my AD-31 Optimus. Sure, that mold have the backpack improved, but will I regret the 100$+ I may pay for it?

We still have a couple more collected image round-ups from Tokyo Comic Con 2017, which took place this weekend in Japan with a significant Takara Tomy presence - Transformers or otherwise - as you can see from the The Last Knight (King) event covered here.
In this post, we have the best look yet at the movie-verse toyline released by the Japanese company celebrating the Paramount and Michael Bay series of live-action films under the Movie the Best monicker. Included in the shots below, mirrored from the Snakas blog and Twitter user Masabon, are MB-16 Jetfire, MB-17 Optimus Prime, MB-20 Nemesis Prime and MB-19 Hound, all in robot mode, and in a group shot. Check them out below, and let us know what you think of these figures and the line!

I know I don't speak for all. But IMO, 'the best Bayverse toys' is like saying 'the least foul sewage'.....

-G1 Ironhide and Ratchet got no heads (yes, I'm fully aware of their Diaclone heritage)
-Gold Plastic Syndrome victims
-TFP Airachnid and her cheaper than RID line attributes
-Universe Ironhide and Galvatron are inexcusably panel-heavy or overly complex.
-Many Generations Leaders starting with Jetfire are simpler than they need to be (also no electronics makes the price even less acceptable)
-Beast Machines inaccuracies ahold
-Most Masterpieces after Magnus v.2 look naked next to their slightly more detailed cousins (like MP-10 or Prowl)
-Many Post-T30 toys get too devoted to being slavishly toy accurate unlike the Classics, Universe, and 2010-2014 Generations lines
-FOC figures are a downgrade from the WFC figures
While there are movie toys that I don't like (such as the one steps or Blazemaster), I heavily disagree with the comparison (almost sounds like favoritism to some extent).

Disregard the bay haters who come here only to take a dump on the designs. It's like a news article featuring cake and I drop in the comments only to say "I HATE CAKE". It's completely pointless and make the hater look like a douche with too much spare time.

Why is this something you felt you needed to get out and just tell everyone?
This isn't even criticism or anything it's just plain hate.
