What about MP Starscream for $60 last year?

That was an exceptional bug I think. Because MP Bumblebee confirm it.

I did order a really cool Optimus Prime figure off of Amazon the other day from China or Japan but despite the 98% positive reviews, I'm starting to think its counterfeit. Its really hard to tell at times, and easy at others. Like there are a few on Amazon that are obviously fakes since Optimus has blue feet instead of silver (I'm referring to the film version). But if it looks as good as it does in the pics, and isn't made totally flimsy, I'll be happy regardless and it'll be kind of nostalgic since back when I was a kid my uncle used to take me to the swap meet to get my Transformers and I know some of them were either counterfeit or something because they had actual spring loaded weapons, the ones at T'RU looked identical but did not have spring loaded weapons.

Still expensive as hell... but WAY better than the secondary market's scalpy prices.

Thats too bad. What do you dislike about the Frenzy and Lazerbeak mold? How do you find them compared to their Titans Return counterparts?
Posted by Sideswipe79 on January 10th, 2017 @ 9:29am CST
Masterpiece Laserbeak is not so bad.
Frenzy is too thin, almost bidimensional. From the web pics I can see Titans Return version is far away better (but bigger)
Ravage is... not Masterpiece quality... too much skeletal. The head is not articulated
Probably the Takara version of this guys looks betters...

True, a really good action figure.

They are not, the only main difference is the colour of Soundwave's eyes. The casettes are practically the same. Also, I dont find the Titans Return Rumble that much bigger and they are less articulated.
Just to let you know in case you consider getting them. I will say this though, the headsculpts on the United Rumble/Frenzy is better, in my opinion.

Soundwave himself - yellow vs red eyes, and Takara has black screws used in the assembly. Takara Soundwave also has one extra paint app - they painted the outside of his feet completely, Hasbro left one part of his feet bare gray plastic (the part that points 'inward' to the opposite foot/leg.) Also, the first run of either Soundwave has a flaw fixed with Soundblaster and every subsequent release of the mold - the left side of his faceplate has a gate mark which was trimmed and painted over to varying degrees of cleanliness on the first run. Later releases moved the gate (where the part separates from the tree after injection molding is complete) elsewhere so as not to leave the cut mark visible on the toy's face.william-james88 wrote:Sideswipe79 wrote:Probably the Takara version of this guys looks betters...

Rumble and Frenzy - chrome vs shiny paint. I forget which is which, not in a position to look at them right now.
The Buzzsaws are almost entirely different colors, one quite yellow and one with a strong tint in the orange-ish direction.
Laserbeak and Ravage are almost identical, yeah.
