>>11613760I don’t count Star Convoy as one. I hope for a Zeta or Sentinel or some sort of filler piece because I can accept anything but what Hastak is doing here.
I’m currently feeling misery about buying Alpha Trion (which I wouldn’t feel if I didn’t know of the existence of the two-pack). At least Vector had a bit of nostalgia going on for him as I owned his original toy but A3 doesn’t have that, especially when it’s not the old-man design I’m accustomed to.
I got Micronus in today and he’s nifty enough. Looking forward to Quintus and I’m so excited for Amalgous that I might get two so that one is a permanent desktoy while the other hangs with the group.
Feeling I should at least spice up my Prima because it’s too blank looking. If he’s going to be the centerpiece then I have to do something that blings him out.
And I really like Alchemist, probably my favorite of the deluxes. Odd opinion apparently.
The leaders are great. Nothing else to say on that.
Really most of the characters are entirely new to me, but there’s a sense of nostalgia I’m feeling because of it. Reminds me of my childhood and how I would go to a store and see new robots to fawn over and collect. TFOne is a great movie but oh man I’m aware of how much it sinked me in. The “sell toys” aspect that pervades every transformers media got me this time and generally I try to stay cognizant of my purchasing decisions, but there’s such a frenzy with these 13 that I almost don’t want that feeling to end. Psychologically I’m aware of this fault but I’ll deal with that at the eventual end of the road.
