I preordered this yonks ago. But for those you want that box minty fresh definitely go with BBTS.
On the bright side, as someone who has never owned and barely ever played with a G1 Predaking THIS TOY KICKS BUTT!!!! I really hope whoever designed this won an award or something.
The additional sword is definitely a needed addition, though once again it could have been bigger. (It is only an inch longer than Razorclaw's sword)
I haven't noticed anything serious in the mold degradation department. All accessories peg in tightly and all swivel joints are reasonably tight. Only things I found a little loose are the combiner pegs, but this might be normal?![]()
