I will say, that some of the Siege figures that I've picked up in the $20 - $30 price range haven't felt very worthwhile. They come out of the package with pretty lose joints and then get looser the more you transform them.

My experience with Transformer toys are the ones from the 90s to early 2000s and the Alternators line. So Beast Wars and RID toys which felt like incredible value to me at the time.

I can see the argument towards declining quality with Earthrise, with poorly thought out designs and a slew of QC issues. However, Siege and Kingdom I have to sternly disagree. A strong focus on satisfying transformations, articulation, and a nice aesthetic is leaving me in a collector's paradise. Of all the non-Earthrise figures I've gotten, I feel only Siege Megatron has disappointed me.

I'm just utterly infatuated. However, the collecting experience isn't the same for everyone, so it's fine if you feel it's disappointing.
