I thought about ordering the Lewin, but I'd rather have an Omega Supreme standing on my floor in scale with my other MPs. No place or justification for both.

No, that monster is far out of scale. MAS Prime is actually .5cm off from being in perfect scale with Bruderstator.
I typed that post when I thought that spider-man in the video screen-cap was a marvel universe figure. When I watched the video, I realized it was a marvel legends figure. 
So. damn. big.

Good lord I want this. I don't know why or what I'd do with it or where I'd put it... but I want it.... ~28"
Eddie, I think this would be in-scale with your Bruderstator. Puts that MAS chump to shame

Yes, I want one as well! I really like the reviews from Ben's Collectibles, and also like the ones posted by Emgo316.
There is an amazing amount of detail on this super-sized Optimus Prime, and I am a huge fan.
In Victor Caroli voice: "It's the ULTIMATE edition of Optimus Prime!"
Looks way too toon accurate for ya Eddie, but yeah, very nice indeed. I'm good with my Jin Bao Devy with the extra panel lines and such. Same reason I went with the Wei Jang Ultima Guard for my Omega Supreme.
Yeah, the combined modes looks pretty good. I might get this one, but I'll likely wait for the giftset.
Oh no way. There is way more detail. The toon was just boxes stacked on top of each other.
I do like the detail that GT adds to their figures/combiners, though.
It's a shame that near all of them will likely be only flashbacks to Cybertron in a 5 minute scene. Still...
Why do they just HAVE to be dicks? "Starscream is an F-15" "Cool, lets make him an F-4 in our movie" "What? Why? There is another TF that already is an F-4" "*evil grin* Just cause."
All G1 does is tick me off more at Bayformers and what could've been. Stupid egotistical H-wood thinking that what was good NEEDS to be changed. Why? Why would G1 not have succeeded just as much, if not more, than Bayformers? Would kids and GA really have thought, "Ewwww! They look like the vehicles they transformed from and not some weird looking pile of scrap metal! Gross!"
And then lets name him Blitzwing because nobody will remember that is Starscream's '84 colors....
Expect this western buyer to not pay that much. This western buyer is still happy with his modified Omni. The giant-jawed head, the fake chest, and the YUUUGE backpack... official or KO, it's just not working for me. It's better than the derpy badcube figure, but that's an extremely low bar to clear.
You guys see the new Phoenix with red chrome on the backpack?

It looks pretty cool. I'm partial to the flat red just because I loved the original toy back in the day, but there's no denying the red chome is sharp.
Never been a fan of the red chrome or any chromed color on figures aside from regular chrome being where chrome should be.
If FT wants my money, they need to release a non-deco version with a red nose and booster add-on parts. Spare head in box. Then some decal place can release a decal set.

Well yeah, that would be beyond sweet. But I think even the 3P companies are scared of the Macross lawyers...
Toyhax has Macross stickers for Phoenix.
I prefer the flat red I have for sure, but nice to see them come back and match the metallic leg paint to the backpack for those that wanted Blingfire. I’m admittedly surprised a 3p has not come along with a new head and clip on limb armor for the big guy. I know I could not pass it up.

Even FT has a history of doing this with their G1 head for Grinder. I'm stunned that FT hasn't made a G1 Jetfire kit by now. I have no doubt they'd even get some double-dippers who want both versions. I'd be tempted.
If I had CAD skills, I'd be all over making that happen at the very least by way of Shapeways.
Could one carve the armor out of your Devastator foam? I have a modern Toynami Veritech armor kit, so designing it would be a breeze.
Yeah, it could be done, but creating it out of styrene would probably be better. Shapeways would just be a lot more "factory" looking, especially with the better materials they now offer. I wish the guy I did the Menasor kit with was a fan of the toy look. Maybe I can convince of "if you build it, they will come".
Do either of you guys have the SDCC Skyfire version of the Skystriker? Wondering how that booster pack would size up to FT Jetfire. It's pretty underscaled for the Skystriker.

I’m not sure there is any way to remove Phoenix’s backpack without cutting the figure in half since it is his actual back. I’m just curious about adding arm and leg armor.
Hell yeah, stopped by walgreens for my cheap-ass movie candy. Even the wife and kids are excited... and I'm not sure why. I really just thought they'd be humoring me.
Practically never. The wife will take the kids to the movies 3-4 times over the summer for animated/kid stuff while I'm at work. I think the only time I've been to the theater this year was to take the kids to see Teen Titans Go. The time before that was probably Ep VIII.
So they are excited for a family night out together. You can't ask for more. Take some pics. Remember it. They'll be distant teens soon.
Oh, we do family stuff all the time, but it usually just involves dinner out with family and then driving around to all the places that sell toys b/c children. We spend plenty of time together... we just don't go to the movies frequently.
Ultima Guard is frickin amazing. So much mechanical details with pistons, skeleton and panel lining. This is the only Omega for my MP loving ass. Who wants something this size to be screen accurate?
Dare! Dare to belieeeeeeeeve... you... can survive. The power is theeeeeeeeere at your commaaaaaaand...
TF '86 was GREAT in the theater, just like the first time. No matter how many times I've seen it (20?), it gets me in the feels. Crowd was good. It was funny but quaint to see adults laughing at the jokes in a 32 year old cartoon. Kids enjoyed it. Wife had a good time. Overall, very cool outing.
It struck me mid-way through how many of the voice cast are no longer with us. Chris Latta (Starscream), Casey Kasem (Cliffjumper), Leonard Nimoy (Galvatron), Orsen Wells (Unicron), Scatman Crothers (Jazz), Robert Stack (Ultra Magnus), Buster Jones (Blaster), Lionel Stander (Kup)....... We're OLD!
