[GotBot]

I've really only dipped into a couple of 3rd party products
Got damn near the whole Perfect Effect PC "Perfect Combiner" line, noticed PE isn't on the list and that's awesome

Got a couple IronFactory figs, they aren't on the list either, so that's cool

Got a couple TransArts (Transmutate & Ravage), and they weren't on the list either, nice

But I've got six DNA kits, and DNA IS on the list
-> haven't opened/installed the titan Predaking/Scorponok kits yet (hope the copies I acquired 2ndhand include the preorder bonus pieces), or the GUOP kit I picked up
-> But I DID install the two kits for POTP OpOp - everything is cool except for the "back-shoulder turbines" that form the land-rover's front wheel; I had already done the surgery to sever the Primal minibot off the larger OpOp figure, so can't install them
Also, I attempted to slot them into the minibot's shoulder spots, and the pieces immediately stressed out the figure's plastic (whether this is a commentary on the quality of the kit, or the quality of POTP figures, remains to be seen lol)
I love everything else about it though - enough that I'm still after the EX version for Throne of Primes

There's a bunch of DNA kits I would LIKE, but none are so critical that I've ever preordered any, if that speaks to anything

I think in this case, what wasn't voted for was just as or more interesting than the companies that were voted for, if that makes sense.
