I bought a few of the 1st film toys, but wasn't that impressed... found them all too spindly and angular. I like my transformers 'blocky'. I won a Sentinal Prime pre-release over at FMH, and got Ghosty to chase me a few of the Rub the Sign figs (I think... I find the constant branding changes to be much of a confusing blur) but after the first 'buzz' I found that I wasn't really enjoying the newer figs. I couldn't just sit there transforming them back ad forth like I would with say Gen1 Hound, Hotrod, Galvatron... heck any of them, so I just lost interest.

Did you get any of the power core combiners commanders? They make great fiddle toys, and have a bit of heft to them for the size. The combining gimmick is a bonus you can take or leave. Simple but clever transformations and they feel well made, and cost about the same as a scout (or a deluxe 3 years ago).
