Well played LOL.
Depends on the figure and if (IMO) Hasbro dropped the ball on their version, then sometimes it's worth it i.e. dark violet and
olive coloured Cyclonus,
tribal tattoo Tracks, blue faced Ironhide, toy accurate not show accurate Astrotrain, and sitting in the sun too long Drift and Jazz. Cyclonus especially IMO, the others are debatable depending on what you look for in a toy. For me, United Jazz is totally worth it and United Drift, not so much.
If it's a fix/improvement on the toy then the extra cash might be worth it, but if it's something like WFC Prime and a even better example being Wheeljack, then the extra shiny shiny is probably not worth it.
I'm going to go back on what I said a bit and say I got the United Tracks and OMG the metallic paint is so gorgeous. So gorgeous, it's like blue candy and you want to take a bite out of it. WFC Prime is a tough call because the domestic version is already perfect and paying $30-50 for the premium finish, I donno. I recommend people try it once, but I would not recommend getting every toy like that. For one: the premium price, and two: sometimes the paint is not the right shade and does not match the plastic i.e. Japanese Animated Rodimus.
