Not being a collector, I don't know enough to say whether this is a 'must buy' set for the year.

But Metroplex is special for me, because when I was a kid, my parents were going to buy me G1 Optimus Prime (back in 1986). Then at the toy shop, I saw G1 Metroplex and asked if I could get that instead.

So instead of a 98HKD toy, I got a 300HKD toy (approx. 43AUD) and the box was massive (since I was little).

So even though I have not really read any reviews of the toy in great detail, seeing it on sale at Target for $119 prompted me to buy it. Being able to look at a toy and inspect the packaging in person brought back fond memories for me, and I don't think I'll regret this purchase.
