Yeah I?m hoping that these Transformers cross over sets are not the extent of the soft reboot. I?m happy to support a classic O-Ring line but I?m not buying any more Transformers box sets to get them.

They look great! Man, that Ripcord makes for a fine figure in any color scheme. I?m a huge fan of the original.

I just opened mine and have mixed feelings about it. So far, I only took out the figures. I like that they used thicker card stock than the other o-ring releases, but my Ace is still creased on the card back and his gun is just flopping around inside the bubble. Ramp Rat's leg is popped out of the plastic that holds it. I hadn't decided yet if I'm opening the figures or not so this is kinda disappointing.
I think what bothers me the most seeing this and reading others experiences is the poor quality control for something so expensive and aimed to be a "collectible".

I got mine today, but only was able to open it up. I hope to have time tomorrow to build it. All the figures look great in mine. The cards are all perfect, but they'll be opened. I'm tempted to get another Fail Safe. Anyone know of anywhere to get a plastic case to protect the box? I love the art and want to display it on my top shelf.

I'm with you in the sense that I want to see a full-on roll-out, though. And 85-later army builder packs.

If no one posts a pic by morning I'll pull out my 83 & 84 sets and put up pics of both Ripcord and Aces. I'm just too tired right now.

I'm personally only going to be after the TFs with these sets, considering that I basically already have what o-ring figures they're going to likely include- if that's how it shakes out, it may be a good opportunity for me to repay a certain favor (and finally get the parts I have for you your way).
I'm with you in the sense that I want to see a full-on roll-out, though. And 85-later army builder packs. I'm hoping for at least an all star old school roll out of A listers. Though, without Toys R Us to buy them from the experience will be greatly diminished.
