So down with this! Tempted to order that Soundwave off BBTS. They really need to show either a Galvatron or Megatron. They doo that they will lock me in.

The blue and purple really pop. I have to see the throne before I commit though, wasn't a huge fan of it.

That is the one thing i wasn't so hot on, the throne. But what are my chances getting a Gen 1 Starscream with crown and cape in statue forum moving forward? I'm gonna say slim.

Won't get made again, I guess XM could but I would think they won't. If they did get ready to pay $4,000 in the states. When I started collecting Palisades Devastator was $200.00 retail at 12 inches and huge girth, Hard Hero Megatron and OP I paid $150.00 then for each for 12 inches. Today XM OP for 24 in is going to retail at $1,500 I think. I.A. TF cost about $1,100 range for 18 inches, that is a huge increase. TF is not that popular for statues in G1 Palisades did some, F4F line was a complete flop, Diamond Select line didn't do so great. Can't imagine anyone else
picking up G1 TF again. Look at this section just a few bother to post here..
It's stupid that the great G1 statue few want but the pieces of junk movies sell boat loads of statues, how many thousands have been made from those. To this day I feel shame that I watched that first movie
If this was 10 years ago there would more TF statues to come but at this level of cost forget that now. Then throw in how much shipping just keeps gong up.
After F4F gave up the license in 2008 I was upset, then
Diamond Select picked up the license they did a few pieces but not much. They made 2 prototypes 1 Megatron and one OP. OP came up for order and got canceled, Megatron didn't bother to come up for order. Then we had to
wait 5 years for I.A. to get the license.

As long as it's decent. 11 years of collecting I no longer
care about getting an ideal piece. The Bespin Luke Pf not the greatest but won't get him again so just have to put up with less than ideal piece

I agree with you both. Will never see a Coronation Starscream again.
I'm waiting to get Soundwave in hand and if it's as good as it looks in the pics, then game on for the rest of the line!
My wife is going to throw fits. HAHAHA
