No pics yet, just words. We're also getting Gears with Eagle Eye, Brawn with Mudslinger, Cliffjumper with ??? as well. I was super excited. (only found out last night )

Oh man, they are going to obsolete my Henkei Minibots.

If Army building is insane, it's a good insane.

15 is a hell a lot of Vehicons, I have a few of a couple differnt vehicon molds I'd like a few more, a Japanese colour FE vehicon is on my list but way too expensivee at the moment.

Like a lot of other collecting questions, it really comes down to "if you've paid all your bills, the mortgage is on track and it's what you want to spend your money on then go for it."

displaying them all is a challenge for me. This also limits my army building If I won't be able to fit them on the display as it has a theme at the time, I have less interest in army builders.

there are other valid repaits, wheeljack and Tracks from the generations line, smokescreen, Prowl and Bluestreak from most any line. inferno and Grapple.

I have a takara Scourge and a few generations scourge to make up sweeps.

the same character with a different deco always feels like more of a cash grab from Has/tak, especially the different movie bumblebee decos. but again, if you really like a particular paint job, can afford it and want it, get it.

I have two versions of the Prime voyager Megatron mold, I don't really care about Beast Wars toys but I'm excited about the TFCC repaint of that mold coming out this year.

Thanks. I'll be on the lookout now for when pics surface

Five is my upper limit for army building. I don't mind if others go as far as ten but any more than that and I'd put serious thought to having yourself committed.

And then there are laughable attempts of trying to manipulate post-retail prices by buying up and hoarding as much of one figure as possible.

Army building is a costly addiction
I started mine off with the BM vehicons but sold the bulk off (left with a few now that I'm trying to clear).
Got a good number of Sweeps from the Generation deluxe line.
Unfortunately I also collect GI Joes and army built a bit there as well.
Like some have already mentioned... It does take up a lot of space.
But hey, whatever makes you happy
The Metroplexes you keep tho... That's a little hard to justify unless you're intending to customize them to various titan colors.
They take up too much space!

Ehem, ehem, ehem.... where are these figures you speak off? BM vehicons you say ....

BM legion btw not to expensive paided between $4.50 -$8 a pop.. so no not deluxe figs... $25 each would be crazy... and I would be getting nasty looks for spending a huge amount of money.. I totally agree with molds that have a slight difference.. commander Starscream is a good example of how the remold for BH version was done.. they changed just enough for me to go "ok wow thats cool.."
