No one's forcing you to buy these, just be patient, jeez.

I wasnt really trying to come off as being rude. It's just when they came out with that industrial fan thing, it was like Hasbro saying we can sell anything and you guys will buy it. Insulting to kids and adult collectors alike.

Well, kids seem to like it, and of course the compulsive fans will get him as well

Is this industrial fan you keep mentioning supposed to be Whirl? At least with him everything looks like it's supposed to, unlike Icepick. His weapon mode is supposed to be a chainsaw I think, but it looks more like a belt sander.

Reverb is the fan. I think it's supposed to be a shield, but it looks more like a fan system you would find in a big factory. Whirl is a helicopter and a gun

I'm officially starting to buy into these guys. For their size, they have the same sort of detail/difficulty as I find on the voyagers, and on one or two, almost like the full-on/actual HA line. Which I really dig. And for those that aren't, I'm liking the alt modes, the weapon modes, or even some of the human molds (like one of them had the NEST armor we saw concept art of but never made it to film, which I was dejected about, looks totally amazing!)
There's still a few I haven't even thought of touching yet though, like Icepick. I'll have to gothrough these guys when I find em, and watch reviews on them to get a good idea who I want.

One benefit of the Transformers line is that, based on the fact that you're here, there's at least something about them that you have/will buy/like. There's plenty of figures I won't buy, and certainly am not interested in, but I won't call anybody out based on my opinion.
Depending on whether these guys get in my stores while the coupons are available, I may just collect the bunch just to have them. I've threatened to buy a good majority as an "armory" for LC Ironhide, and the coupons would certainly help.
