[Pre-Order] XTransbots MX-37 Conan Nightbeat
ssjgoku22: I like it, but that's a lot more than what Fanshobby is charging for their Nightbeat. XTB likes to do a lot of renders, so here's hoping we get an actual prototype soon.
Mastermind Creations R-17 Carnifex Overlord
ssjgoku22: Cool that this is on sale, but Double Evil is a much better rendition of Overlord and that figure is WAY taller.
DX9 Toys D10 Hanzo Sixshot
Jason Dick: So any chance we can get some more pics of this fantastic looking bot? The one pic looks great but would like to see what the other forms look like
ssjgoku22: This is a reissue. Just Google DX9 Hanzo and there are tons of pictures.
TFC Toys STC-01T Supreme Tactical Commander Dark Savior Carrier Version
ssjgoku22: I wonder if this supposed to be some sort of stylized Nova Prime. The head and the wings are giving me that vibe. Would be really cool if that's what this is.
Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-57 Skyfire
ssjgoku22: Really nice looking figure. I still like my FT Phoenix, but you can never have too much Jetfire. I mean think of how many Prime's we have in our collections. May as well have a couple Jetfire's too. Takara really made the price fair on this release too. Hopefully this is a sign that they're changing for the better. Definitely excited for this figure!
Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-55 Nightbird
ssjgoku22: Where's my ko at 4th party companies? Get on it, lol.
Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-57 Skyfire
dmvara: Pretty much an easy pass.  I am perfectly content with my FT version and I am 100% sure theirs will be overpriced and will have QC issues.  I don't buy Takara anymore.  Too overrated and there is always the KO you can get at a fraction of the cost Takara will charge their customers.  But hey, if Takara floats your boat then by all means spend away.  It's your money.  I prefer to save mine for other things.  yay!!!  =-)
ssjgoku22: It's $270 USD, good price. Similar to Phoenix's original price.
Cyber-Factory CF01 Star Storm Starscream
ssjgoku22: Something about this sculpt looks off to me. The details look fairly soft overall and the color pallet they chose look a bit muted. The price isn't bad, but I like the look of Zeta Blitzwing more than this Starscream.
Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-57 Skyfire
ssjgoku22: I do see why this might be cheaper than MP-44 (other the accessories). Some do look a little more hollow and the transformation is quite simple in comparison to MP-44 (which could be a really good thing). I'm not going to jump and say this is better than Phoenix (as that is a very well-made, high quality figure), but so far, this looks promising.
X-transbots MX-10 Virtus Springer Premium Version
ssjgoku22: I've got the Fanstoys, MMC and Robot Hero versions. This looks pretty overpriced for what it is.

diode: I think XTB depends heavily on the accessories and the look to justify high prices. They need to understand that being premium means a lot more.

ssjgoku22: And from the reviews I've seen, it's poorly made.
