I selected "only if" with the proviso being very cheap.

I paid the $15 for the set at Big W, and still feel a little jipped, we've seen this Bumblebee oodles of times, and Soundwave was always a fairly average figure (but far better than the RotF deluxe).

The standout is Rodimus, which is an excellent figure, one that I never managed to nab as a Universe/Generations figure and looks quite good. My figure does not have that distinctive yellow paint on the hood/grill, it is yellow, but not as garish as in the promo pics.

$15 for 3 Legends seems like a good deal, but the other two figures are fairly ordinary, but good on Hasbro for finding a great way to get rid of two crappy figures! :D

I took a look here to see which thread didn't have / didn't have much replies and decided to make use of our new hybrid semi-DSLR camera for some shots:

Bumblebee, Soundwave and Rodimus together:

Pics are worth a thousand words Mel, so you just wrote a thesis.

Great pics, might be an idea tog et yourself a nice little photo light box if you are interested in doing more, I got one for the missus for her jewwellrey photos and she loves the thing to death. I'll be unlazy and post an ebay link to what I got her when I get home from work.
