>>10159978Siege was great engineering and good budget held back by retarded paint apps and bad alt modes. ER was the same thing but with lazy engineering and good paint. Kingdom waves 1 and 2 were some of the best Transformers we've ever had. Wave 3 onwards and Legacy, especially the last wave, have had some of the worst QC, worst paint, and worst budget cuts since FoC. I'd actually argue at this point that it's worse than FoC, because FoC wasn't in the middle of the worst economy most of us have lived through, making wanting to buy mediocre toys a daunting offer.
I now look at every white toy coming out and wonder if it's going to yellow. Will I get it with joints that are weak as shit? Is the clear plastic riddled throughout going to crack? Hell with the current wave, we now have to ask, will that purple figure go yellow? Will the fucking solid grey plastic snap and stress and crack?
