I took a huge plunge today and decided to finally start collecting Transformers with the introduction of the MPG line.
I missed out on most of the main characters in the Masterpiece line, and by the time they got back around to them again, they'd transitioned to this low-detail "cartoon accurate" design that I hate. So I'm seeing this as a chance to fill out a good line-up of main characters at a level of detail and articulation that I've been wanting. Assuming the line continues on in this style.
So far it's just pre-orders for a pretty cool looking Optimus Prime and a just-announced Soundwave which is what convinced me to get on board.
At a couple hundred dollars each, though, I'm hoping they don't do more than two a year (or so), so it'll be a long time before I can even hypothetically get the line-up that I'm wishing for.
