Got my BBTS and Kokomo orders in. I haven't opened any of the joes yet, but I see a lot of what could have been. Budo could have been awesome had they put any effort at all into the paint apps. CCN could have been awesome had they just added one more color to the camo. SE could have been awesome if the body didn't suck so much (I've played around with the Frag Vipers a bit and I'm not a fan). But then again, there's Kwinn, CC, and SS. Toggle hawk... I don't even know when I'll have occasion to open it. But I bought one at MSRP (same as with the Skystriker) so nobody can point the finger and say I'm the reason why we don't get big veahicles any more.
On the TF side, I opened Boxbomber first. The colors on Birdbomber are just as bad as the pics. Electric blue and forest green. Why? QC was fine though.
Tetra Sunstorm... dat face. WTF. I knew going in, but still. Bleh. Transforming him is very very fiddly. Robot mode is meh and too big to fit with the admittedly tiny classics Seekers. Alt mode looks pretty wild and made my nostalgia meter tingle. I'd probably prefer it in TC's colors, but I went with Sunstorm because he stayed on Cybertron and stuff.
30th triple changers: Springer is pretty cool, but there were issues with pegging and such. The tolerances seem to be off by enough to make pegging a suggestion rather than an instruction, but not enough to ruin the toy.
Sandstorm made me smile. He's fun as hell, and might be my new favorite main-line TF.
Blitzwing is a wreck. The tolerance issues are in full display here, as nothing wants to peg in correctly in any mode. I'll see if I can't improve it by de-warping the backpack/turret and sanding the torso seams. But yeah, not impressed.
Haven't opened the new deluxes yet.
