No Contest. Netflix Megatron is the definitive CHUG Megatron.

Nope. The cruddy “battle damage” ruins it. Besides, that award was already taken by 35th Anniversary Siege Megatron:
I always found that figure to be way too bright. If it was a couple shades darker, I’d agree.
This is impressive. If you are a movie design fan, this is the one to get.

Pretty much an accessory pack for your CHUG Release with a repaint of Brunt for 19.99.
Once they release a revised Bumblebee, I’m done with CHUG.
EDIT - Let me also say that I did pre-order the figure. The accessories are pretty solid.
EDIT II - Price has been updated to 29.99 (which is what I expected). However, when I ordered it, it was $20.

That’s a sweet accessory pack. I feel like GI Joe got way better fan service:
but at least this accessory pack shows some love. I particularly love the Ravage cage. XD Sucks that the Reflector is just a basic grey - hope they fix that - but at least the Soundwave is correctly colored and should be fun alongside my WST Soundwve.

My man Skullface does it again
He even brought up why this kind of stuff is making it to market. Hasbro is making power moves.
Hasbro has been making power moves since the Titans Return days. And sticking it to 3rd party.
Now they are in a sort of a groove. Siege is where I think the CHUG line of old has reappeared. Overall, I felt Prime Wars was pretty meh.
My Wal-mart FINALLY got in some new stuff. And wow, Netflix Hotlink looks badass!!! If i didn’t already have the Amazon Skywarp set, that guy would be my Seige Skywarp stand-in. Don’t think i’ll pick him up though as he’s not based on any memorable character, and again, i already have Skywarp.
They had Netflix “Decepticon” Mirage and he looks really cool too. Almost like a Zombiefied version of the character. But i already have Siege Mirage and prefer not to buy duplicate molds of the same character in order to keep the numbers down. He’s still really Neat though.
And they had several Netflix Megatrons. Again, no, the silver deco looks cool but i hate the “battle Damage”. Plus the existence of 35th Anniversary Siege Megs.

Question guys: I got my son a potp Grimlock and I want to get him the rest of the dinobots to form the gestalt. They dont have much choice here in the uk. I’ve seen ones on ebay but they seem to be knock offs:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/312726400860?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=312726400860&targetid=909180616022&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9045991&poi=&campaignid=10195652867&mkgroupid=107296310052&rlsatarget=pla-909180616022&abcId=1145987&merchantid=232687389&gclid=Cj0KCQjw6PD3BRDPARIsAN8pHuG8YOcKzcC1uV04euFSbJX8VBkVb6dEovJUa_yX-yEydhJRXhTwvo0aAgUWEALw_wcB
How ‘legit’ are these. Quality wise? any other recommended stores that will ship international?
I looked up that set and saw that it is one of 2 ko sets by a company called BPF. They are roughly the same size as the Hasbro official potp Dino’s.
I found a video review from a Phillipines guy comparing Hasbro to this ko version.
I skimmed the video and it seems that the quality is mostly the same.
Differences include:
No autobot symbols
Grimlock comes with a sword similar to the old Fall of Cybertron toy (Hasbro POTP one did not have a sword or gun)
Slightly duller colors
I have heard that Kapow toys is located in UK and has good reviews from UK folks but I don’t know if they have this set.

I had a look at kapow… stuff i wanted was sold out 
I need a preorder link NOAW!!!
It’s certainly not perfect, but for what it has to do, it’s a really great attempt. I honestly may grab two.
For those interested - Here is the preorder link.

It was supposed to go live at 1 but still not available yet.
Despite so many repaints we’ve gotten from Sideswipe, this has to be the first HEAVY retool of the Siege mold.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, so the entire stock of Gigawatt sold out. Thanks to bots and scalpers, it literally was done in a matter of seconds.
Then you see this all over eBay.
I hate scalpers.
