I'm done buying SS figures. Every single one that is out at retail has an OSKO on the way, usually with far better paint.
Sorry HasTak, you've lost me on this line.

unless the OSKOs are also all in scale with each other, you've lost the plot.

Grimlock is not in scale with any of them in either mode. Ditto for Ratchet. And as we've cover extensively, I don't give any of the fucks i have left about scale.

They're also re-releasing non SS bots as SS bots and they don't scale for poo poo so Hasbro themselves have stopped giving a poo poo.

I don't need help considering the bulk of the ones I buy are better than the original release.

Yes, everyone would go all-in legends or deluxe size.

It's weird how 3P seems to ignore deluxe class entirely.

Maybe the money's just not in it for 'em since that market is pretty well served by Hastak.

Some sort of cost effectiveness for resources probably. But some of the 3P combines are deluxes.

# ? Aug 21, 2018 20:46

Phy: Jun 27, 2008; Fun Shoe

That's true, and heck, I did just make a big effortpost about Quantron, everyone there is a small deluxe (or a big slightly partsforming Voyager). I can't speak to other 3p combiners, but Quantron shipped 2014 judging by Peaugh's review videos, and CW started shipping 2015. So the G1 combiner market WAS underserved... then Combiner Wars hit with the force of a hundred Alpha Bravo repaints.

I would like more (slightly oversized) legends-class toys, because they're the best.

Legends for the small guys so like, the casset bots and Bumble Bee and whatever

Deluxe for the normal guys like Arcee, Ironhide, Starscream

Voyager for the big guys Optimus, Megatron, Shockwave

Leader for the giant fuckers Scorponok, combiners

Unicron is Titan Class

Oh man I so want a Devastator but seems like US stores are a barren wasteland that hasn�t seen any yet.

Found myself asking the same question today. That figure seems to be stuck on a ship somewhere.

If you don't mind getting an open one, this is probably the way to go. New-in-box, looks like they're anywhere from $150-$250 on eBay, depending on which version you're looking at. I think that's about the same as what they went for originally, and I think that's a good price.

Actual regular-sized knockoffs of MP-10 are harder to find that the authentic figures, as far as I know, and for starting to build a collection you probably want the Optimus that scales with he other MPs. Not the case if you want a BAPE one or something, of course. I don't know why the KO manufacturers don't just make regular Primes.

Are you a stickler for scale or it having to be authentic or do you just want the mold to fiddle with, because MPP10, the well-known oversized knockoff is often buy able brand new shipped for like 60-70 bucks on ebay. I have one and he's flawless, as good if not better than the original, and huge.
