Some acquisitions. Actually these are all of my acquisitions in the past month!

1. Henkei Sunstreaker MOSC
2. Henkei Grimlock MOSC (my buddy Ultra Magnus is going to have a field day when he sees this one --> I got this for fun, seriously and because its so, so cheap)
3. United Drift MOSC
4. Perfect Effect SFX Scouting Force MIB

I am actually proud of you. You took your distaste for this figure and started to buy them

If you want to offload Sunstreaker let me know, cause I am still using Hasbro not Henkei!

Henkei Strafe arrived yesterday from BBTS. Very good packaging.... almost excessive.

Now, PE "Reflector", my, what a fan release. After 10 mediocre releases (ie: PE-01 to PE-10), Perfect Effect has finally nailed it.

To my mind, this is by far the best release and a near perfect homage to G1 Reflector - in fact, its even better than G1 Reflector because the 'bots look like Reflector did in the cartoon. Spectro and Spyglass are also subtly coloured differently so that one can identify which is which. The set is just packed with accessories, all of which has a lot of play value. If the plastic quality is better, I could almost have mistaken this for a FansProject release, just based on the design and execution itself, and that is saying a lot about how far Perfect Effect has come.

I have just opened and been playing with PE-Reflector. This toy is excellent - Design wise it's easily FansProject quality and although it doesn't match up in material quality, it is still above that of Hasbro's. My main concern when I bought Not-Reflector was that, material and QC quality as PE F&R were somewhat lacking. Good to see that they have stepped up considerably in that regard.

This set should win toy of the year and despite the price and size, it is definitely worth it. Sometime in the next few days, I will write up a bit more about it with more details but this set has blown me away.

pcc undertow, but on closer inspection, he's missing one of the little chest cannons, so it'll have to be returned. i really don't have much luck with QC
