Thank you. Excuse my typing in my last post - I was holding baby in one hand and typing with the other, hence lack of capitalisations, some punctuation and use of some unconventional abbreviations.

I pre-budgeted for the movie toys and saved up for them months ago. So none of my RotF acquisitions are denting the budget, save for the Scouts which I hadn't accounted for (the problem with trying to avoid spoilers and plan far ahead for acquisitions has proven somewhat self-defeating ). But they're relatively cheap enough that it won't effect me that much. I want to get all the characters who appear in the movie. I initially got Preview Bumblebee so I can have a copy of Bumblebee's modified car mode in RotF, but yesterday I got Legends RotF Bumblebee, so I'm gonna be selling my Preview Bumblebee.

As far as the Constructicons are concerned, I want to get the toys for each individual Constructicon so I can have proper Constructicons that can transform from robot to vehicle. For Devastator, I really can't justify forking out for Zordastator, especially with a new bub, so I'm just gonna get the Legends one.

As for what people are saying about balance - while I agree with this sentiment, I think the definition of a "good balance" possibly varies from fan to fan. What I think is a fair trade off might not be acceptable to someone else and vice versa.

It's almost like Action Masters all over again; a line of Transformers that didn't transform and proved unpopular. Now we have a team of combiners who don't combine - and the Transformers who can combine, can't transform! At the end of the day, sales figures will prove if Hasbro was right to make this decision or not. Either way, I'm not a fan of it.

*nods* I'm waiting for the new Voyager Starscream to come out with a better paint scheme. I'd be all over that toy if they released it with the colours of Deep Space Starscream!
