    Scale doesn't matter to everyone in the same way. Although from a toy play perspective, I must admit that it is nicer to have a Megatron that's the same size as Optimus so they can go toe to toe with each other better. Having said that, Deluxe Megatron is packaged in a VS. set with Deluxe Optimus Prime -- so in buying DLX Megatron you're gonna end up with a same sized Optimus Prime anyway. Unless you just want a Megatron that stands taller than most other Decepticons.

    I have both Deluxe and Voyager Megatron... they're both pretty terrible toys, but the Voyager is substantially worse (at nearly triple the price). But Voyager Megatron is a lot easier to find... and you might be able to find him on sale. I saw some Voyager TFPRiD leaders at Target just a few days ago... I scanned one of the Deluxes and it had been reduced, so I suspect that the Voyagers might be too. I paid full price for my TFPRiD Voyager Megatron, and to this day I still facepalm myself for it. Guh.

    I actually kind of like the look of the Voyager.
    Well, the one I want the most is Wheeljack. Might pick one up today.

    I'm thinking of getting a FE Bumblebee but I see BBTS is sold out, anyone know another source that wont cost me a fortune in shipping. I'm willing to pay the price for rare figure, but up to $70 shipping from the US on eBay is a ripoff.

    I only concentrated on the main cast, and even then I only got the Commander and Legion class toys I'll be skipping BH altogether.

    I just recently got Prime Frumble, and I've found them to be surprisingly really great figures. These have actually become my favourite TFP figures, even if they don't appear in the show. In fact, that may have worked to their advantage, as designers have been able to create them as toys first, rather than having to adapt them from animation models (and all the well known constraints that comes with that). This is what Hasbro should be going back to doing... make the toys as toys first and foremost.

    That's exactly what they appear to be doing with Beast Hunters, though. The toys might not have much "collector" appeal - they don't look like realistic vehicles or futuristic Cybertronian machines - but they are more toyetic than anything we've seen from Transformers toys for a long while.
