    Preordered! Thanks for the heads up.

    I went with the blue version (because I had preordered cartoon colours Scoria before I realised they were going to do toy colours as well). I think I like the contrast better than the G1 toy accurate colours anyhow, but seeing Scoria and Soar together I am a little concerned they might be too colourful. I hope the other dinobots' colour schemes tone the group as a whole down a bit.

    That said I have half a plan to get the Giga Power dinobots to represent the toy accurate colours anyway.

    Then I just have to decide which set will be in bot mode and which in dino mode.

    Good thing it is such a dud year for Star Wars collecting .

    That is a massively expensive undertaking and I salute you good sir.

    Maybe... But I don't envisage buying any more transformers after this, so in the grand scheme of collections I'm okay with it.

    I only really have MPs 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16 and 17 (and I'll get 21 as well), and the anniversary TRu release of Soundwave. And I have only hung onto my G1 Grimlock and Swoop.

    Outside of Soundwave, more dinobots is what I really coveted as a kid. I had Grimlock when he was released, which none of my friends had, but I always wanted the full team (Swoop I managed to find at retail in '92 in South America).

    So these third party companies are really offering me an opportunity to modernise my dream collection from when I was a kid. I was entertaining the notion of tracking down the three G1 dinobots I don't have when I discovered Scoria's existence about two weeks ago!

    Not as nice as Scoria, but still very cool. Could someone make a comparison with a cartoon screencap?

    Im keen on Soar (not swoop) for a couple of reasons. I don't have a g1 swoop, and its been differcult to obtain a good one for a decent price and also because of the ko version floating around, this is also due to been just unlucky.

    Never had one either. Saw a few growing up and they always fell apart in my friends hands after a period of time never stopped my desire to get one

    I'm very keen on seeing how this one develops

    Always wanted a Swoop, and prefer the blue deco, so this one is pre-ordered! Until then, Planet X Caelus is the only Swoop I've owned (besides a Decoy!).

    I looked into buying a G1 Swoop, but what really got my attention was a KO of the Diaclone Swoop. Needless to say, didn't pull the trigger!
