Yesterday at Walmart I found the studio series Sentinel Prime. This is just an all around great transformer figure. The sculpting on his robot mode is ridiculously good and then his firetruck mode winds up being very solidly put together. When promotional pictures first went up for him he looked like he had a lot of black plastic which had me worried, but in hand it's actually a pretty good looking metallic grey gun-metal color (except for his hands and wheels which are black). His double-sword is handled in a kind of neat way where it actually does wind up being a part of the truck mode, so while this means that one side of his blade will look like pieces of the side of a truck it also means that it has good built-in storage and even then the other sides are sculpted to look like a sword. For the size and price I don't think they could've done him any better.

Then fittingly since it is May the 4th, the Black Series Boba Fett helmet I pre-ordered arrived today. I don't have pics to share but it is pretty damn cool, especially how they actually pulled off the worn and weathered effects.
