I caved and bought Megatron directly from the company's website. He's only 50 bucks! Unless you buy from some douchebag on ebay, which I don't recommend. I might pre order Prime too. These are really just disassembled action figures from what I've seen rather than true model kits, which is awesome. I bought a model kit for something once, and while it looked nice, it was a PAIN to put together. I've always wanted a nice looking Megatron and I love all things G1 Transformers

EDIT: Some awesome looking, newer action figures in this guy's video:

I bought one model kit once during the first lockdown. It was fun to put together, but fiddly. I put one piece on the wrong part and ended up breaking part of it trying to get it off :roll:

I hadn't built a model in ages, but one weekend recently I fished out a Boba Fett kit that had been sitting in my closet for ages. I had a genuine blast putting it together, and when it was finished, it looked really great. Kits have come a long way since those awkward, brittle Gundams I used to build in high school. I feel like I'd like to do some more, cost and time allowing.

I think this is Lego for a lot of people. "I want to build something complicated with a lot of parts but I don't want fiddly points of failure that will derail me." That's Lego for adults.
