I have to say that under the circumstances (pandemic, supply chain challenges, inflation, end of the world, etc.), Hasbro managed to show some interesting reveals this year, IMO. I like the Deluxe-class reveals, for the most part: Scraphook is a cool/fun surprise, Hot Shot looks good in both...

My Jhiaxus' head is good and floppy but I still think he's one of the best figures this year.

Tarn looks great. I don't have any connection to the character, but it looks really poseable and fun. Dinobots are neat, so is Hot Shot. Breakdown is...the last Stunticon in the set, so there's that.

And the thing is, regardless of how good the inevitable 3rd party upgrade kits are - that will cost as much as Breakdown, btw - it will always just kind of be Wildrider cosplaying as Breakdown. Edit: I still will reserve final judgement until seeing the finished product, but seeing the pics, it...

There are definitely some newly-molded Lambo-esque cues from the doors back that look good; the rear vents and louvers are nice touches (but a spoiler would be best). It just would have looked the part more to have tweaked the front end a bit. Ultimately, I think what bothers me the most is...

I am really looking forward to getting Legacy Wildrider (Wildrider was always one of my favorite Stunticons). The good news is that he is scheduled to arrive on Thursday. The bad news? I live in Florida, and it just so happens that Hurricane Ian will be touching down on Thursday. I guess...

I am going to reserve final judgement on Breakdown until I see full vehicle mode and robot mode pics. But I will admit to feeling disappointed at the lack of Lamborghini-adjacent design cues. I'm sorry, but you can't take a Ferrari 308-esque design, slap some paint on it, and expect people to...

Agreed. I have incorporated Diaclone stuff with modern Transformers so much, and it never stops being fun.

For Animated, I wrote in Arcee; for Legacy, I voted Elita 1.

So Pulse charged me for Legacy Elita-1 today. None of her wave mates though - just her. I'm looking forward to getting her but like, I would be willing to wait and have them just ship, you know, all of the remaining wave that I preordered together. I'm not sure why it is that they do it this...

I've been kind of cherry picking Diaclone stuff over the years. Some of the smaller, less expensive sets are still very impressive. For instance, I love the motorcycles and mechs. I wish I had the money and space to commit to the bigger offerings, but it is still awesome to know that this...

Jerry.

Yeah, I wish I could justify plunking down the dough for it, but just like the MP Raiden project, it's a bit too rich for my blood. With very few exceptions, my experience tends to be that the more money I spend on a given figure, the less overall enjoyment I get out of it. Meaning that I...

Now this is interesting! Heck, I might even be tempted to pick up one or two of those Quintessons. I've got a few of the Reaction figures and they make fun little desk toys to fiddle with at work.

Very cool!

They look really cool; very nice work!

Yeah, that Jhiaxus set does look really cool, overall. Personally though, I wouldn't be over the moon about paying $16 + shipping for it, which basically works out to half the cost of the figure it's intended to upgrade.

Yeah, this does look really nice. I actually bought the VF1-J Valkyrie (Rick Hunter), and he's pretty good. Transformation is not great though, and he's a little...frail-feeling in some areas. For those reasons, I don't mess with him too much, and I don't think that I would take another...

I agree that it's time to throw in a little bit of Beast Machine love. Tankor would still be my first choice, even though he saw a release in Generations. I think that under the current conditions, something in at least a Voyager Class - but nothing smaller - should be the starting point...

I've had a lot of good fortune collecting over the years, and have helped quite a few of my fellow collectors along the way. Here are just a couple of my favorites: -In 1995, I came across a guy who had a bunch of Transformers that he wanted to get rid of. To my surprise, he had a garage...
