>damn this looks nice but I hope its $100 max
Well, ML Optimus was over a hundred dollars even importing him yourself, and Magnus is going to have a similar cab and a trailer that isn't just an empty box, as well as being subject to orange man tariffs, so you should expect to pay well over $100 no matter where you buy it from.
>Are any of the other missing links good? most reviews just say their overpriced
Because that's all people care about nowadays. Most collectors don't give a shit about quality—they just want a thing that looks like a thing, and they want it as cheaply as possible in order to maximize how many things their paycheck can buy.

Personally, Missing Link Convoy was the best toy I've bought in years, though. I can't speak for everyone, but the QC on mine was immaculate; the plastic looks and feels good, the paint is cleanly applied, the joints are all tight and the ratchets feel fantastic. Even the vac metal seems thicker and more durable as if it were actual chrome. I can't imagine it ever wearing or flaking off. In hand, the sculpted and painted sticker details are quite phenomenal. It's just a gorgeous hunk of plastic and diecast.

Also, it's just a damn fine toy. Everything has a place to be stored, and everything is fun to fiddle with—everything does something fun as opposed to just being there for the sake of accuracy. The tranformation is a mildly more complex evolution of the original G1 prime, which is simply a timlelessly good toy concept. It poses extremely well and even the dated elements like the gangly arms don't look bad because this toy defines its own context. It's not trying to be accurate or stylish. It simply is what it is.

My only real complaints are the lack of a diaclone microfig equivalent, and the lack of an up/down neck joint. Both seem like they would have been easy to work in, but oh well. 10/10, still.
