    Don't get the Hasbro Transmetal Megatron. It suffers from Gold Plastic Syndrome something fierce, although in this instance it's the dark brown plastic that's affected. After a few years it crumbles. Spend the extra cash and get a Takara Metals Megatron, which used a different plastic.

    Good luck with the list (:


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

    You missed Verno's two sales not too long ago. He had all those figures and more selling at reasonable prices.

    Here is a link to his website. I have bought many of my large BW toys from him:

    Cheers for the free plug Kup but I'm actually out of Stock. Only thing I've got left is a MOSC Scarem that didn't sell (I wonder why )

    If only you'd come to me a few months ago Kuzzy, I had.... yes all of those for sale.

    I'll need to update the site, or take it down.

    I can second that. I still have my first TM Megatron with me unwanted (only good for parts) because its whole chest area broke leaving it with only one arm and no practical way of re-attaching it.
    If Takara used a different plastic that makes it more stable, I'd recommend it as well. I'd be guessing it looks exactly the same, just different packaging (that you probably won't be able to read).

    I have a TM Megatron, not very good with the Beats Wars figs though, since I have only recently started collecting that line. Anyways here is a pic, if your interested let me know.



    And I have this Armada version which is the same fig just repainted. Think his name was Predacon for this series.
