The spikes on the elbows can scrape the orange paint on the wings right off, as I learned firsthand. Pretty awful figure, especially at full price, which I was dumb enough to pay. $15-20 is about right. Yikes, I'd never have even guessed that's a thing. I'll be careful from now on. Thanks for letting me know.

The Rage posted:So for Christmas The Doctor sent me War for Cybertron for the 360 as part of my secret Santa gift. Finally had some time to sit down and play it today, and it turns out that while the case may say "War for Cybertron" the disk inside is Fall of Cybertron. I think some poor Gamestop employee got fired over this lol. Oh wow, that's a good mix-up! I've still not played Fall yet.

The_Doctor posted:Oh wow, that's a good mix-up! I've still not played Fall yet. Fall is the better of the two games. It's paced better than the first game, it seems like a couple of episodes of a TV show, and it works. I liked both. Fall also has the Dinobots. As a side note, they changed Optimus Prime's body for this game, and released a new toy. The Ultra Magnus remold actually looks really, really good I think and is my favorite Ultra Magnus. It almost feels like they made it for Magnus and retooled it for Prime. I would probably count it as somewhere in my top five Transformer toys.

In a weird turn of events I found Scoop, Minicon Centurion, Armada Starscream, and FOC Skywarp. Still need Rhinox and Double Dealer and nobody ever has yet to find Swerve and Cosmos out in the wild. Like seriously the case ratio for Swerve and Cosmos is 50% Swerve and 50% Cosmos. This is not a hard thing to screw up on where the hell are they? I'm still seeing Frenzy and Ratbats from wave 1. Hell I was able to find Airlift to complete the Decepticons Generations Minicon team that consisted of Pan-Handler and Drivetrain for Generations Armada Starscream easier than it is to find Swerve and Cosmos.

Rhyno posted:I've never even seen it on sale, is it also a Target exclusive? Yeah. Supposedly it's been out for a few months now but I'd only ever see it on ebay and at collector's shops charging twice as much. Only last week did I finally start seeing it in stores. I have to say it's very worth it. It's definitely the best color scheme of a Predaking figure out there.

I'm thinking since I snagged one extra Predaking I might try my hand and my own paint scheme.

So according to the wave listings, Arcee and Chromia are both wave 11 and are the entirety of the wave at the moment. If there's no wave beyond wave 11 these last two are probably going to be impossible to find.

I'm guessing you're going by tfwiki, but their list is just bullshit (to begin with, there is no "wave 11" announced yet at all, even if you ignore that the numbering got reset with the new year) and it's been confirmed for a while that the case assortment is 3 each of Arcee and Chromia along with 1 each of Scoop and Waspinator. And those are coming out before Windblade, who's probably going to have a really big push from Hasbro, since they're putting a lot of marketing and cross-promotion behind her. Most likely we'll see new stuff out of the New York toyfair, about a week from now, both normal generations and movie, since they said they weren't wanting public images of what was shown at the UK fair 'til then.

I just hope that Hasbro doesn't have anymore bottlenecks like with the Skids wave. Because any size class that's within the last wave or so of generations seem to be rather scarce.

Goldskull posted:Ah right. He's a bit delicate is he? The headmaster visor has a trick, you have to pull carefully outwards, then flip it over in order to transform into Monzo. If you don't do this the visor just gets stuck and you'll stress the plastic. The bot itself is rock-solid BUT, the shoulder joints can only take so much tolerance; if you feel you can't open the arms much just leave them, don't play tug with them. I snapped off one of the joints doing this, I fixed it with 2-phase binding epoxy. Other than masterpiece Prowl, has Hasbro announced other MPs to be released in the US?

Ha, Mega-Drive-Tron is the best alt mode the big guy's had since he was a Batmobile and I hope he's just the first of a series of old skool games machine bots. Give me Optimus as a Master System, Soundwave as a PC Engine, Kup as an Atari, Bumblebee as a ZX Spectrum, Ultra Magnus as a Neo Geo, etc

Nintendobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Segacons. Kup turns into a Magnavox Odyssey. You have to be from the UK, because not only do you say Mega Drive instead of Genesis like a red blooded American, you actually give a poo poo about the Master System and ZX Spectrum. The Neo Geo rules though, I'll give you that.

I found the Minicon Assault Team today. Did I just get a particularly bad one or does everyone's helicopter's cockpit fall off at the slightest touch? Otherwise it's awesome, I particularly like the look of the fat little tank guy. He looks appropriately pissed off at having to have his face turn into the rear end.
