Sometimes test shot stuff goes for cheap, sometimes nightmare prices. All depends on who's selling it or if there's an auction that gets seen by people who are willing to pay insane prices for an unpaintedtransformer in odd colors. There's also probably some knockoffs people try passing off as test shots but there isn't really any way to know I guess save for the plastic quality.
I just realized I never took a photo of the 30th anniversary rhinox test shot I got a few years ago. For whatever reason the test shots of that figure were clear plastic with kinda milky white plastic for the load bearing joints. Probably some stress test thing given how clear plastic in figures started only being used for larger limbs at some point in the 2010s.

Here’s the Godzilla crossovers, sorry for the shit quality. I like them, just not as the characters they’re intended as.

If we weren’t getting the Thirteen next year I’d say get these if you want Prima and Megatronus. That Optimus reminds me of when IDW repurposed Protoform Optimus as Prima and that’s hitting on nostalgia for the expanded Movieverse.

Oh Keith David...you, Weird Al, and Zelda Williams deserve to be in better TF series. (Guess 50 bucks is 50 bucks, especially living in the cesspit that is LA)

Edit: my birthday's coming up so I'm gonna splurge on 3rd parties again. Stick it to the hasjews and buy superior figures with actually good qc. Depending on the model, of course. Anyone else getting any 3rd parties yet?

I usually stick with 3rd party MP scale figures and Legends class figures to put around my office desk to play around with. Hasbro stuff tends to need work done to them which I tend to not mind but shouldn't have to do. Takara stuff usually isn't worth the price. I do have a decent Diaclone set coming alone but they're so expensive for what you get that I tend to not get many. The base right now is this years last Diaclone purchase.

I also don't mind some of the KO's coming out from the likes of Black Mamba and others.

I’m holding off on buying anything because October sees Straxus, SS Optimus and Bludgeon/Ruckus coming in that’s a lot of coin for just the start of the month.

That dramatic capture set is beautiful and I love Takara for returning to their improved paint job roots with the caveat of snipping off the dumb, waste of money accessories. Like the coal car and the fucking hulk hands.

Also no way i am gonna check out beast machines.I physically recoil at these designs. What the fuck have they done to optimus primal's face?

Optimus is the least fucked in terms of looks from that show, at least they just made him a weird bald robot guy and not uh... No leg haver.
Beast machines at least does something pretty cool by having Megatron fight Primal using his strongest form from beast Wars while primal's still in the same fucked lower power bald dude state he's in during the entirety of beast machines.
Youtube's been on and off just having this isolated action bit pop up in my recommended the last few months. Probably one of the few things this show did well.

i'm suprised it got out of production hell, but will they still revive the toyline for this

From what I remember, some of them already came out years ago but haven't sold well because the media never came out. That and people didn't know if it was shit or not. Like a longer version of what happened with Gi Joe Retaliation's first wave. I just saw this comment now and remembered there's some reviews of the figures and there were listings a few years ago online.
