The Goon posted:If any of you guys ever considered ordering from Uncle Billy and Aliexpress, don't. There was a thing at Kapow too where a shipment got badly damaged in shipping, as in literally just dumped out of a truck on the ground in the rain and ended up in similar condition. I'd be very hesitant to pin this on Fanstoys.

A month ago I wrote BBTS asking about replacement parts for Citizen Stack. They said to follow up in two weeks. I kept forgetting/procrastinating. Then yesterday I got an email saying "hey your stuff is shipping out". BBTS rules.

So the final issue of Windblade came out. It appears that Knock Out has finally appeared in the IDW comics: Unfortunately given how and why he appeared it is going to be a very long time until we see him again, if at all. Windblade was a great mini-series and left a great foundation for Windblade Returns and any possible Starscream mini-series/spotlight.

Spiderdrake posted:I like her but she's really mediocre and not well done. Stll buying it. Still enjoying it. I don't think she's mediocre, it looks like a pretty decent figure in fact, plane gap excluded (and the sword sheath covers it up a bit at least). I'm sure she can stand better than optibotimus made it look (promo pics have the heel area looking a bit different than how he transformed it, with the little wings hanging higher up), and also he forgot to mention that the VTOL thrusters can rotate independently from the wings. She looks super fun. About the "delay" yeah it's just BBTS moving their date from July to August, I know they were mostly estimates in the first place.

Gammatron 64 posted:MP-10 Prime MP-10 is funny because remember how in the movie, Optimus opened his chest windows, then the little hatch inside, and there was the Matrix? MP10 opens the chest windows, opens the hatch, and then opens another hatch. He's got twice as much hatch. And then when he transforms both those hatches turn into part of the bumper and the Autobot Matrix of Leadership is just kinda dangling out the bottom, all getting road grime and mud and rock chips when he's driving. He parks overnight and a rat crawls up inside it to stay warm.

If the matrix wanted to stay clean , it shouldn't have asked for so many transforming hatches.

The Humble Bundle is IDW Transformers themed. I'd like to get it just for the classics issues, would it be worth going past the average to get Autocracy, All Hail Megatron and MTMTE??

If you haven't read MTMTE already, it's well worth $15 for the first two volumes.

Blackheart posted:Gappyness and all, I still like her. Plus it's Optibotimus so I wouldn't rule out some mistransformation going on. Really like the sword+sheath, and bot mode is cool enough to justify getting this wave. Plus, it comes with Crosscut too! Where are you? I got Skybyte 2 weeks ago in the UK, and I should order Roadbuster when I get paid next week

drat, I just picked up the first two volumes of MTMTE on Amazon for ~$20 the other night. Volume 2 looks garbage on the Kindle app, though. Is that true of the others? If so, what's a good Android alternative that'll work with these?

I still enjoyed the miniseries overall, but that reveal was as interesting as a deflated balloon. Especially after how exciting issue 3 was revealling the obvious choice wasn't behind it after all.

Secretly, he's spitting in your replacement. Picked up Sharkticon Megatron, He's okay, that Jet butt is a mess though. Man, Hasbro, you have to at least make one side of the jet not look awful. He's definitely a Robot mode toy.

It is amazing how utterly loving abysmal Revoltech Prime is compared to Revoltech Megatron which looks great in almost any post and has fantastic coloring, especially the metallic candy apple red on his legs.

I ordered Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe from an eBay store in a stock clearance sale, I got an exclusive MP-18S Masterpiece Silverstreak instead. Is that a good trade off? I was already thinking of getting the Nissan Fairlady mold anyway (something I like about Transformers with car bumper boob). edit: I sent the seller an email and he called me saying it's an employee mistake. I'm getting that Sideswipe after all, I just to sent him the Streak back. Good thing I prefer the Prowl version of that mold. The MSJ fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Jul 24, 2014 |

They've got dedicated hand parts and Voyager torsos, looks like, so barring some massive failure of engineering not determinable from these pictures (GORILLA AAAARRRRMMMMSSS!!!), they look pretty solid so far. Superion especially, apart from the broad-looking hips. Menasor looks to be at least somewhat mistransformed, but he also looks like a retool of the IDW VOY Optimus figure, so that might explain more than a few things.

The chestplates seem detachable too. If it were just the feet and hands I'd think they'd just be set aside, but seems like they wouldn't need to make chestplate kibble if they didn't have some plan for the kibble outside combined mode. Maybe it becomes a little base for the included legends figure.

Both are voyagers for their leader bots and both are very bulky. Unlike FOC bruticus and Ruination where everything was a Delixe. It's just they won't fire the guy who's entire job is to properly transform the transformers. Also if Menasor is a Prime repaint than this means that we'll get an Optimus Prime combiner with 4 other autobots. The Legends guys will act as carriers for all the combiner bits it seems. The Legends Powerglide we saw is the same powerglide for Superion it looks like. Making each team a 6 bot combiner. The Taint Reaper fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jul 24, 2014 |

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Superion's right leg is a helicopter in those pics. Wonde rif this means we'll get defensor then? I think people are right in thinking that the Autobot version Menasor will be Prime, Mirage, Sideswipe, Chromedome and Crosswise. One of the cars even has a similar hood to Chromedomes.

If that Menasor doesn't look better in production it will be a lot easier to buy the 3P set.

Torsos confirmed as VOY, first wave is Silverbolt and Optimus (who is a Scramble City torso, as suspected). Motormaster is retool of OP for wave 2. All the DLX and VOY figures in 2015 are combiners!
