Do you even need to ask? It's the largest piece of plasti-crack ever made. You know what to do. Get it done.

If you don't want it, send it my way. I can always use another.

where to begin ...

Ratbat / Frenzy
These figures stole the show. The cardboard is made of a thick, quality card stock. The Frenzy has the correct sticker pattern on it (the very 1st ones had Rumble's on there)

Ravage / Rumble
These are a mixed bag. The cardstock is a bit thinner, the colors didn't take too well. The Rumble figure is this COOL transparent red / transparent charcoal color. That's TOTALLY unexpected though. I've seen these reissues come with clear, solid, misstickered ... whatever.

The ones we have come with a clear red / charcoal figure. If you were going for a genuine G1 look ... :hs:

Swoop
Exactly what we expected. The box is colorful and made of a thick material. There is no pre-crease on the flap like the KO Primes. The weapons are rolling around loose though. They're not bagged up, just placed behind the Swoop, sealed to the bubble.

Bumblebee
Quailty card. Quality looking figure.

On some, the rubsign is upside down. On some, he's not fully transformed behind the bubble. It is what it is, a $15 replica.


Overall, the Ratbat / Frenzy set are the best. Swoop is what we expected. Ravage / Rumble is a nice surprise (if you look at it in the right way). Bumblebee is nice to have, but seems to be rushed.

Money all well spent though. Shipping starts tomorrow.
