I have been reading several reviews on these. I am very disappointed to report both WWI Prime and G.I.Joe Megs are very poor figures. It all starts with getting them out of package. They are shipped in one piece of course, but in the large amount of time it takes to remove the figures most of the appendages come off. Now to the toys themselves. Balance is not there. The heavy metal causes the weak joints to give easily. There is absolutely no possibility. Transformation is very simple. Parts don't interlock to hold form in bot or alt modes. There is a plus. For the MISB guys they are displayed well in package and highly detailed. If you want to call that a plus. I have yet to see these in person, but it seems to be common consensus that these thing suck throughout the Transformers community.

I've read mixed reviews on prime; it seems megs is despised by most, though. There have been a few reports that people are finding them at target for $4.99 instead of $14.99, so if I found prime at that price I'd probably pick it up.

Just picked up Prime and he seems ok; arm popped off while opening the package, but that was simply bc of all those twist ties. I got him for $4.99 (the shelf label was up for that price as well..). I kinda like him, and for $5, you get a diecast tf with stand. I can see why some people are upset w/ floppy joints and all, by mine is fine. If you see him for $5, I say go for it. I'll probably be passing on megatron though.

I bet they screwed up and switched the two; maybe I'll get megs before they fix the mistake..metafeather picked up alt prime at the same target and saw the new sigma six dragonhawk.

I picked up Megs, haven't seen Prime around here yet. I was not really excited about it, after getting it out of the package...it is very wobbly once I got the arms attached, it stood better, but still I have isues witht he way it stands...
I just hope Jetfire comes out better
