Really not sure why I never got him in the first place? Price? Megatron (my favorite transformer) wasn't as appealing? Still, wish I could have gone back and got him earlier.

Soundwave looks amazing. I like how the blues pop.

As epic as Grimlock is, I can't jump too far down this hole. I'll definitely be getting Galvatron though.

The Transformer line is easily XM's Best in my books.
Great you had an opportunity to get Starscream. The prices on the aftermarket are probably very high but i agree with you. He is one of the most beautiful statues ever made in my opinion! And we have another common interest. Galvatron is also skyhigh on my to get list, although we haven't seen him yet. Can't wait for that moment! Superb line indeed!

The prices are nuts on the aftermarket. Optimus and SS being the biggest offenders. If you’re on the fence even for one of these pieces at release, get it. Your stomach lining will thank you later.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

I think I'm still on payment plan for this with spec - although I believe I jumped on this from day one. Is it possible to pay off balance earlier? Just watching Gemmint's review. Very impressive!

I assume you went through partial.ly?

If so, you can pay any balance you want, including in full.

Todd should send you a shipping invoice shortly after (though may want to follow up with him).

Thanks buddy. I did. I'll check with Todd. Such a cool statue!

SkilledButton is correct, you can definitely pay it off sooner I have done this a few times myself. ( just use the pay now button and options will open up)
I too would give Todd a heads up, but once it is paid in full you and Spec will get a paid off notice from Partial.ly .

Thanks buddy, I've just checked - you are exactly right. I'll mull over this for a while. If I hadn't heard any chatter about this, it'll have skipped my mind. That Gemmint video isn't helping lol. Will be cool to see inhand pics.

Thank goodness this was released when it was. With all the additional elements of the diorama and switch-outs, one can only wonder how much this would have cost today

Totally agree about the Video..he already cost me $1000 on that Iron Spider-Man ..I pulled the trigger right after his video so I am well aware. Lol
And after seeing this I wish I would have got in on Soundwave too. One of my Favorite characters.

And you are right he would easily be another $500 if not more if he dropped today.
Congrats on the piece..easily a grail with that ES and how amazing he came out.
