I just want them to finish releasing teams for generations. Like we're still missing insecticon guys and they released Kickback in wave 3 and next legends wave they're releasing the second member. I just wish they'd stick with it and release all team member guys at once or within close proximity to each other.

I'd like a Reflector set. I know one of them is a targetmaster weapon in a legends pack, but still.

DoctorWhat posted:Speaking of Vangelus and Cyclops, the pinnacle of Internet Toy Reviewing was when he tested Cyclops's ability to float on-camera and it was a total disaster. That's because they put a lot of effort into it and actually have charisma. I generally don't like "Internet Personalities", but Vangelus and the AVGN are the exception because they're decent guys and don't believe they're God's gift to the world. Vangelus is a super nice dude and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. The guy goes out of his way to be friendly

I'm going to assume the Voyager Optimus Prime & Grimlock listing there is a Voyager-sized Grimlock that a Legends-sized Optimus Prime can ride on.The Taint Reaper posted:These sound like Generations Figures and movie figures. Crosshairs was a previously leaked/assumed name for the moviebot that has apparently turned out to be named Slingshot. Listing that figure as "Crosshairs/Slingshot" is probably just covering both bases until real confirmation can be determined. Keldroc fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Jan 13, 2014 |

This is totally a knock off, right? (eBay link) http://bit.ly/1j2H1zT But if I'm right in assuming it's the same kind of KO that Thew bought of Tigertrack, it should be a decent quality, to the point of being my money's worth?

The_Doctor posted:This is totally a knock off, right? (eBay link) http://bit.ly/1j2H1zT It is a KO, and it is apparently of very high quality, with only minor differences from the official product. Here's a post that goes over every single difference, no matter how minor. It looks like as long as you're willing to tolerate the fact that "Countach" is spelled weird on the back of the car, it's almost identical to the Takara version. Plus the KO comes with KOs of the Amazon Japan exclusive piledrivers!

(eBay link) http://bit.ly/1j2H1zT For that price it's the KO, but I have one my girlfriend got me and like Keldroc said, it is almost indistinguishable from the real one. Plastic quality is good, the joints are tight, and it looks great on the shelf next to the rest of the MPs.

The first time I got a bit scared because the box doesn't have the circle stickers (but I think that might just be region or store dependent) but everything else matches the official MP. (and I got mine a bit before the KO started showing up en masse) Speaking of MPs I recently got Prowl and it's brilliant. Just a fantastic figure. I think I still like Sideswipe a tiiiiiiny bit more though, but they're both almost flawless.

So here's the thing about some of those "KO" Sideswipes. Apparently there is a thing in China called third shift, and what this is/does is say Hasbro/Takara order 4000 units of MP Sideswipe, the factory will run those 4000, plus 2000 of their own, so you're getting the exact same box, exact same car, exact same everything. The factory/managers sell these units as "warehouse finds" to companies like BBTS/TFSource or even just on their own on eBay. So there are factory exact Masterpiece cars being sold, that as long as everything is spelled correctly, the box is identical, the plastic is perfect, theres a good chance they're this "third shift" production. They sell them cheaper because its pure profit, no licensing fees. So if you've got a "KO" Sideswipe thats identical with no visible misspellings on the car or box, you've probably got a third shift product.

I need to mull it over for a bit.

gently caress it, I went for the £22 Red Alert with free international shipping. It'll go right nice with my G1 re-issue. It remains to be seen how much I get hosed on customs/Post Office delivery, I just got screwed for £13 off of £31's worth of Threadless T-shirts over Christmas.

Every now and then I get a craving to seek out animated voyager toys, every now and then I remember why I sold them when I had them in the first place. If someone comes across a non-korean galaxy force autovolt and a sealed samurai prowl tomy version, please let me know.
