I'm not sure how long it would take Takara/Hasbro to get to any combiners so yeah I decided to get the whole set I like the XTransbots Stunticons the best. On the other hand Zeta Toys makes some great Aerialbots. Then Unique Toys for the Combaticons. That Breakdown only cost me $35 which is at the bottom rung of pricing. Wildrider is going for $60.

it is a bit daunting because of the many different options I'm not sure how long it would take Takara/Hasbro to get to any combiners so yeah I decided to get the whole set I like the XTransbots Stunticons the best. On the other hand Zeta Toys makes some great Aerialbots. Then Unique Toys for the Combaticons. That Breakdown only cost me $35 which is at the bottom rung of pricing. Wildrider is going for $60. Still I'm eyeing up FT's teased Arialbots and Stunticons (despite the size) and their wave 2/ 1985 minibots as well. My reasoning is that FT has great resale value so I can get them as an investment but in my heart of hearts I know I'd keep them. plus I'm a sucker for an F4 Phantom.

I’m jealous of your 3rd party 85 min bots! I have been sticking to season one Sunbow characters myself (because I collect too many other lines). When I was younger I actually couldn’t stand the second wave of midsized Autobots (except maybe Inferno and Grapple, they were cool) but I love the second wave of minis. Power Glide and Warpath were my favorite but Sunbow made me love them all. It’s hard to hold off on them but the teased FT Warpath may pull me in.
Seriously I was in the same boat but with so much great 3P product coming out it's hard to just stop at just season 1. Nice score! I'm looking to start getting some Stunticons, but with so many companies throwing their hat in the ring I'm holding out to see which one looks best in my eye.

I've got Constructor and Armageddon complete and I'm 2 deep into Zeta's Aerialbots. So far, FT is my frontrunner for Menasor. I sold most of my MP Carbots, so I don't care that FT's Stunticons are out of scale with them. I have a hard time enjoying TF's that are shorter than 7" in bot mode. Call me a size queen if you must.
I try to follow my tastes, rather than fill a roster. There are probably only a couple dozen TF characters total which I would care to collect and those are rapidly being checked off my list. Once I complete my Gigapower Dinobots, Zeta/FT Aerialbots, and FT Stunticons, the only thing I would really add to that set would be a Zeta/FT Predaking. Metroplex and Trypticon probably ain't happening, though I would take ones that are not much bigger than Omega Supreme -- they could never be truly MP scale. |

Metroplex and Trypticon probably ain't happening, though I would take ones that are not much bigger than Omega Supreme -- they could never be truly MP scale. Combiners do really bring out the little kid in me though. They seem to be hot right now for 3rd parties so it’s a great time to be fan of combiners. I guess for the manufacturer it’s a garumeteed sale of all five/six figures as opposed to five or six regular mid sized bots where collectors may cherry pick their favorites. I like to set boundaries for my collection, especially the more expensive lines like MP or Hot Toys. I know that doesn’t sound like fun to many of you guys obut it helps me stay focused and not spend the mortgage. I can always expand those boundaries when I complete a wave, year, set, team, etc. I guess it’s like a good strategy in Risk. Conquer one continent, secure it, then branch out to the one of the neighboring ones. Repeat. Since I’m just sitting back waiting on FT’s Trailbrealer to be reworked (unless Takara beats us them to it) I’m al but complete on the rest of season one, but would like to upgrade my Hasbro Grimlock to the FT 08X Grunder if I can find one at a good price. So it’s times like these when my mind starts to wander on to the next wave.

I picked up a KO MP-39 (I tried to make do with an Omnigonix Spinout, but that turd just wouldn't cooperate) and it's not horrible like some KOs are. Joints are tight, nothing feels flimsy or shitty and, outside of a sloppy paint app here and there, it's a quality item.
