DOTM Toys - buy straight away or wait?

[christalcase]

I'll wait for a sale, particularly the early waves as stores usually get a lot of them, and movie toys tends to go on sale quite often

[Mr Ed]

But in all seriousness, wait and get the Japanese versions

Good point.

I dont own too many Takara versions, but the Animated Rodimus looked fanstastic with the detail and I own the Megatron 370Z and Optimus GTR and they were great too.

Given the friendly exchange rates, I guess I will get some from RK then!

Bulk of Jap movie figs are unchanged from local however.

[Fonecrusher]

The only figures who are must haves for me so far are Shockwave and Sentinel Prime I would probably buy them on sight, The rest however? Well there's a couple others I kinda like (Megatron, Crankcase, Ratchet and Sideswipe) but would only be tempted to get them if they were on sale.

I'm with Fonecrusher, in that Voyager Shockwave and Leader Class Sentinel Prime I'll probably buy early on (Hopefully a sale ) as they're the only 2 I really want until I see the Ultimate Prime in-person.
But as Verno said, waiting for the Takara releases may indeed pay off.

[Bartrim]

There are a couple that I'm keen for and may buy on sight. But I will most likely wait until they are on sale or atleast at a reduced price.

[Vector Prime]

I'n pretty much in the same boat as most of the other people here...

Sentinel Prime and Shockwave are must haves early on and then perhaps Skyhammer once he's on sale - the other DOTM range is completely 'meh' IMO

[GoktimusPrime]

I wanna get at least 1 version of each new screen character... non-screen characters are lower priority, and I'll get those according what I think of them (and how much money I have after getting the screen chars.)

[Gutsman Heavy]

I want that new voyager megatron, but am REALLY hoping to see a black/shadow command repaint, I think that'll looks bloody awesome!

Movie-verse Motormaster maybe?

Movie-verse Motormaster maybe?

Complete with Bucket Head!
