I'm absolutely blown away, this thing is so nice to look at, not to mention how cool this design looks! Definitely plan on taking more photos soon.

Electronics don't quite work right, and I accidentally sheered the right switch off by switching it over just a tad too hard (it wouldn't turn on at first) so now it's permanently stuck in the "on" position. The ankle tilts are very limited. The price is exorbitant. But, he's otherwise perfect. Yeah, he doesn't transform. Who cares? I rarely transform my figures anymore, I'm more focused on display and photography these days and this figure fits my needs…perfectly. I'm going to keep on calling this guy perfect because good lord this is a well-made figure. The paint, the sculpt, the accessories, the build, the articulation…I could go on but if you own him you know. I only paid $300 and I'm happy I didn't pay more, but would he be worth it? Yep. I plan to buy Starscream and Cyclonus when/if they ever come out, this figure has me hooked.

Glad you guys are both enjoying your respective purchases. I really like mine. Helps that they're based off of such cool designs.

Nice pictures. He is beautiful and somehow Flame Toys managed to make transparent plastic look beautiful and and a worthwhile addition (I generally prefer paint).

Anyhow, I don’t want to encourage you to stress and potentially break your toy but I think the ankle joints have a bit more range of movement.
Here is how I have mine:

Megatron has a glossy sheen, really nice in person. Pexus has a coat of paint, but the lighting is helping both figures. And thanks!

Thought so! That paint job looks splendid!!!

^ Really liking that photo of Megs with Optus Pex! Is it just the lighting, or that figure looks like it has a metallic paint job?

The 3K Rodimus looks beautiful, I didn't know it actually got released! I cannot wait for Jazz, that looks wonderful. Makes me really want an IDW Magnus to be made ngl, or even if Autobot Megatron gets the 3K treatment. Soundwave or Shockwave would look wonderful too ngl.

The reissue for Star Saber arrived in the mail for me today. Extremely excited, my first Star Saber figure! Gonna open it up soon and get some photos taken for sure. Can't wait for him to be in a skirmish with my SG 3K Optimus.

Did we ever get pics of a final production-level Cyclonus?

Got my 05 Megatron today and quickly inspected the figure for issues and moved his joints around. I'm incredibly impressed, limited ankle tilt aside. I cannot wait to install the batteries and take pictures of him later. I'll have to spend more time with him, but my initial impression is that he might be my favorite piece of official Transformers merchandise that I own.

What are everyone’s thoughts on K3 Rodimus?

I received my copy yesterday and he seems deceptively light on the one hand and is taller than expected on the other.

He has all the articulation he needs but the joints seem of a simpler design compared to Drift for example (who did the interlinked joints the best). I also don’t like the design of the waist area.

He has lots of accessories but I won't need 90% of them. And he is $400.

So I’m ambivalent about it. I just had time for a quick QC check so maybe I will warm up to him once I can spend more time with it.

Paint is forgotten though and I wonder if we will get a black Lost Light repaint of him down the line.

Thank you! I plan on displaying him without the wings, with the wing bits as a fusion cannon to make him more IDW-accurate!

I will add that he is an actively sharp figure. As in all sorts of parts of him are sharp. So keep that in mind when handling him.

That's a good idea. I've never tried it cuz I love his wings, but I might need to give it a shot since the wings take up so much space.

Nothing fragile, though I guess you should always be careful with pointy transparent plastic (his wing tips), but I've never had an issue with them. I love his Strike Freedom style wings, though they're definitely stylized – you can just remove them and use them as arm cannons instead :) 
His side skirt things hold his sword, and they are pegged upside down on the skirt; since gravity is working against it, they easily fall out if you accidentally mishandle them while posing. You can just remove the sword entirely though and he looks just as great.
