My collection is always years behind, so I'll definitely end up with the premium deco whenever they release one.

The trouble's going to be if Hasbro and Takara both do their own slightly different premium versions.

Currently, Dramatic Capture Series is the Takara premium redeco line that has succeeded Beast Wars Again, so we'll have to keep our eyes out for whatever comes next for DCS.

Eh, anyone who claims a hard line between kids Transformers and adult Transformers is fooling themselves. I and my nephew live next door to each other, and the back-and-forth has only increased as he gets older. I just note that I'm cheaper to 'shop' at than a Wal-Mart run and he's more likely to find what he was looking for. It also confirms something I said years ago when he was born. Some said I'd have to be careful with the 'collectibles' and I said he was a little boy and that was a bunch of toy robots. Anyone who thought those two concepts would NOT collide at an intersection was delusional.

On that note, Dead Optimus took some serious damage after his last trip (which barely shows due to the subject) but I've decided to get the simpler Legacy cab Prime rather than the Dramatic Capture or Earthrise reissue, simply for solid fists over thumbs. The trailer from Dead Prime will work.fine with it too.

For sure, I've always considered my collection to be a "playable" one (I was never an MISB collector), and I'm happy to have a son to share my hobby with. Besides, as he likes to point out, he gets it all anyway when I die. (Pretty dark humor for a 5-year-old, but he's not wrong.)

Unless you sell it all on eBay or do something similar in your will...

My kids have no interest in my Transformers, but they argue about how they're going to divide my video game collection when I die. At least I don't think they're planning to kill me off yet...

On the plus side, given the size of deluxe Optimus, if you're a fan of core class figures it won't be too long before all deluxes are that size.
Fans mad about the latest perfectly fine Deluxe have been promising me this for something like 15 years and still nothing.

I bet there will be a a KO if either missing link OP or an OSKO of Legacy G1 toy OP with random metal parts. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if both were MP sized with OSKO trailers too.

Maybe for Generations Selects, assuming that's still a thing.
The “G1 Crew” set and the Gobots 3 pack are marketed under Generations Selects.
I just kind of get the feeling that Selects got a bit backburnered by the sheer volume of retails slots Hasbro’s been trying to fill, between stuff like the Walmart and Amazon capsule lines and Target’s Buzzworthy stuff. As well as some budgetary contractions reducing the amount of product the teams seems be allowed to produce (Deluxe waves are now seeing only 3 new releases per wave, Core Class through Legacy went from 8 items in Year one, to 12 in year 2, down to 6 this year and seemingly ending with next year’s line)

No matter what they call it, there's always going to be some place to shove in the random 'for the turbo nerds' releases they do.
