Found an absolute madlad selling this for its original price rather than the $200+ it typically goes for on the aftermarket. Arrived in near perfect condition too.

March is getting off to a great/terrible start:
That's, from least to most important: -Transformers Ectotron -Transformers Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime -A deluge of tiny mans (SO-DO Chronicle OOO ComboChange2, SO-DO Zero-One AI 02 and 03) -and Power Pack Classic Omnibus (Volume 1, they said optimistically), collecting the first three years of Power Pack comics. This was the first series I ever collected as a kid, and I'm thrilled they've put this many issues in one giant book. Between this and August's upcoming Legion of Super-Heroes: Five Years Later Omnibus, it's looking to be a great year for me getting all-time favorite comic series in archival-quality hardcovers.

Wait, OOO Chronicle 2 is out already?! Damn. Feels like only yesterday they got shown off...
Hope you're ready to have zero context for those zero-one figures for like a year

Yeah, I'm glad that most of the Zero-One sets I've gotten in have had stuff from the Grease movie, since I just watched that. The other tiny mans and womans, the ones I won't learn about until 2021... I'm not sure how many of those I'm going to build versus how many I'm going to leave until I start watching the show. I don't know. I'm backed up on SO-DO right now, so it's easy to leave the Zero-One characters for later, but there's probably (hopefully?) going to be a point where I've got no other tiny mans to build, and there'll be these tiny mans and womans just sitting there, sooooo...

Dang man, you're really going all in on So-Do. Glad you're enjoying it! I apologise to your wallet for giving you your first taste of them. My OOO wave 2 hasn't arrived yet, I'm eagerly awaiting it. Despite not having watched OOO yet, Tajador is one of my favorite looking suits in the franchise

Tajador is right up there with RabbitRabbit as one of my favourite suits! And Liner Form is also really good... Flame Dragon isn't bad either...
I think I just really like red super forms

So, maybe controversial opinion, but I feel like the monochrome OOO suits lose some of what's fun and special about the aesthetic.
When I first saw the OOO basic suit in (I think) the Build/Ex-Aid movie, the red/yellow/green against a black bodysuit, I found it super intriguing. Those colors shouldn't all work together, but they totally do. (I'm no artist, but I think making the secondary color, green, the largest non-black color block helps to lessen what could be a garish contrast.) The OOO designs that get me the most excited are the weirder, multi-color ones. So, TaJaDor, it's very pretty, but it's not what I love best about OOO. I've got a Mandarake order that should be showing up in the next week (some random Build tiny-man-halfs, and RIDE PLAYER NICO), but besides that and AmiAmi preorders, I'm pumping the brakes on older figs, at least until I work through this backlog. Put together Build SharkBike last night, and I brought Evol(t) Black Hole to work to sticker up after lunch, so I'm definitely feeling that SO-DO bug. I'll probably be cleared out and buying more soon enough. It's hard to say No to these tiny mans!

That's very fair, but to me the context of them being the 'special' more powerful ones is what makes them work for me. Like, it's a specific unusual thing when he's going all of the same colour, if that makes sense.
