I love that there are big Autobot molds---but man, when you get into the Decepticons, most of the time it seems that their alt modes get short changed! For instance, look how puny Classics/Universe Tankor, Astrotrain, Cyclonus and Galvatron are for instance. Compared to Powerglide, the seekers look tiny! I know there are a lot of guys who like the deluxe size for most of their bots, but it sure seems like the Decepticons are getting the short end of the stick. What do you think, and which ones do you think could be up-sized?

I'm contemplating ordering astrotrain and megatron. Can someone who has some henkei figures describe how the quality is compared to Hasbro's version? I'm talking QC of the paint and plastic, longevity of the paint, and how does the chrome hold up? Thanks in advance.

I gotta fly one of those things! His buddy's holding a wanna-be Thundercracker! Haven't you dreamed of Piloting Starscream??? This is the closest we'll get!! Check out the flying Youtube videos & more pics!!:

does anyone know if the G3 Trailer can tow the BTS Trailer? I know it can carry a Commander set, but whould the other one fit? If so, I'm gonna double up. If not, I may get the hitch kit and give that to Animated Prime...

I mean its a great kit, and I would absolutely would love to have one...its just I don't think its 100$ good ya know, there is alot of neat things you can get with 100$ ;) So I dunno, with black friday comming up and all the deals comming with it I dunno if I should keep my CC preorder or not.

I was sauntering through what is usually the most worthless store in terms of toy selection...K-Mart. Yeah, was there last night, and saw what looks like a new set of recolored Mini-cons. No, not that large box of Universe repaints, but a second new one. It had two rows of about five characters...Autobots on top, Decepticons on bottom...all in Universe style packaging. Sadly, I have no means of taking pics, nor do I have a photographic memory. Just thought it might be a useful tip for Mini-con fans out there. I can't believe I haven't heard of this set yet...maybe it's just that no one really cares about Mini-con repaints anymore? Had a purple pterodactyl, red T-Rex, …

Well now that robotkingdom is selling this set from China, what's the ETA before we start seeing figures over here in the states once China has them? Anyone know the proposed release date for this set? I just don't want to miss out on this set as the Insecticons have always been awesome. Thanks.

I just picked up ROTF Deluxe Swerve. Thanks to everyone for posting pics of this fig months ago (when they leaked) as I've been looking forward to this fig for a while, now... Now, IF you already have Sideswipe, this fig is no where close to as shiney and nice as SS. The silver paintjob is very hard to beat IMO... Swerve is a decent repaint. The best thing going for him is a brand spanking new head mold. Which I think looks rather evil. With his long pointy chin... I'm alligning him with the Decepticons for sure... The red plastic (especially noticed on the car body panels) looks kinda cheap and dull. But I'm gaging this figure off Sideswipe (who is quite …

Just curious, does anyone think that fansproject will ever issue a re-release of the city commander kit for ultra magnus?

At the Flea Mart today, I found an odd P38 toy. It's not all that odd that it's the gun the Original Megatron transformed into, the odd part was what I found inside. This gun is very authentic to a real Walters, the clip slides out (odd that it is, does not hold projectiles, have not really figured it out) the gun's slide is spring loaded and can pull back, the safety works(d) and the trigger pull(ed). When I bough it, it was broken, I only really wanted it to be a replica of the real gun that the real Megatron changes into, so it really didn't matter. I took it apart to see if it could be repaired or at least rig the trigger to work, but inside I found 8 smal…
