Like the way I bought that Gobot for a laugh a few years back, yeh?
Blackout would be a better buy over BC. Although his back chopper portion tends to not click together very securely. Don't have Grindor, but I'm thinking the same is probably true. Bonecrusher being a deluxe almost feels more like a basic. Kind of in between the sizes and rather disappointing as a result. I mean, if you found one cheap in some lot it wouldn't be a bad find, but I wouldn't recommend putting a whole lot of effort into it.

Yeh, I think the vehicle mode's scale issues with Bonecrusher would just be too much of an issue for me (incidentally, you're a magician masking that in your photo comic. I do love the look of the guy - he was the only Legends figure I got that I didn't instantly regret spending money on (I think it took about three hours for the regret to kick in, which is a record for that bracket... though a Legends Wheelie would be nice...)
Regarding the Pave Lows, it's just a shame Grindor looks basically nothing like he does in the film; even if they couldn't really just redo Blackout, something a little closer (maybe more in grey than blue) would probably have done the job for me in either case.
The first-year version is the closest. Though I'm with Clay. Specifically, wait until the deluxe comes out. At the very least, if the deluxe one isn't all that it has a decent chance of driving Voyager Ratchet's price down a bit more.
Deluxe will be too small
I'm going to see if I can get one for around half the RRP for Ratchet, and not kid myself it's anything other than completism.
I made a trip to the store today and they've put leader toys on markdown to $35. I can hook you up if you're merely aiming to be thrifty, assuming the pound-to-dollar ratio is still two-to-one.
Wow, that'd be cool - that's about a third of British RRP, let alone the hassle of actually finding one (I have to go a fair distance to find anywhere with a decent selection). Only thing is most of my disposable is tied up in bidding for other figures
