I thought he was being a bit ironic about Thew's halloween reviews until I saw that link...

I really hope Hasbro fixes the Platinum pricing because apparently Year of the Goat Optimus in all his reddish brown plastic and clear plastic glory may just run a smidge cheaper than a Titan class figure. Yeah it's a cool mold but Optimus has never been that color in anything ever, it's not a reference to another figure past or present(i.e. like Roadbuster Magnus), and it's not that big either. It's not something where one should pay Megabux for with MSRP.

Make sure all the flaps are folded out, the front pegs will not stay in, but the back ones will hold, just make sure you have the right pegs. I said I wanted the name of your favorite youtube reviewer, Rhyno, not the name of Thew. And not everyone has been on SA forever, with a dream journal of the time you got fondled by a soccar mom in '95.

Yeah, vehicle mode, pretty much both front and back. I see where they should peg in, but they don't quite reach without forcing it. I'm sure the problem is me not having her shoulders uhh "arranged" correctly, but I've wasted like an hour on this bullshit.

I didn't know you were into hugboxes, man. Not trying to start a fight here but given your somewhat ornery posting history I'm a touch surprised. TF forum/threads where we're supposed to kindly respect sexism or shitposting gay porn or whatever happens on /toy/ just don't work for me. I want to be able to call things poo poo. I mean yeah the posters here are good and the people are good and so on but I ultimately think it leads back to not being ... quite so as the other TF junctions are.

I think we generally maintain a pretty good balance. We don't go apeshit trashing things ("Hasblow" type poo poo), but at the same time we don't lose our minds if someone has something not 100% positive to say about a figure ("You think this $200 Masterpiece figure that Hasbro has kindly chosen to bestow upon us should have [something you would find a $15 toy]??!! Well I guess HATERS GONNA HATE" - TFW2005) What I'm saying is that we're perfect. Each and every one of us.

What in the hell is even happening right now. I like Thew, but ever since he's shaved his head and grown out his beard he looks like my British doppelgänger, so I am on board with destroying him so that I may gather his power. I also still don't like Combiner Prime's combined mode, but his alt mode is just pretty.

I like CW Prime an his alt mode and single mode. His combined mode is really ugly, though. It might be better with paint apps, but eh. I'm actually less excited for Motormaster as a result, but I'll probably get him anyway. I like Silverbolt a lot, though.

I dunno I just don't believe in that weird pan-internet attitude of "well *I'm* pretty perfect and have nothing to learn". Ornery is a good way to describe me in my more obnoxious moments, but that doesn't mean I'm going to revel in it. And of course I don't think echo chambers of positivity are great, I just think that most fandoms are so negative and lovely. Our pointless bickering (especially when it gets personal) are just TFW bullshit with better spelling and grammar. That's the kind of thing I don't love. All the well-reasoned opinions, helping each other get robots/solve problems, sense of humor, general consensus about the good parts of the fiction, etc., that's what makes this thread a cut above. IMO, of course. I took my kid to the park today, and there was a 5-year-old boy there who kept yammering about transformers (no I didn't bring it up first), and he laid down some wisdom. "If you want to be a transformer, that dream that your heart makes will never come true". Well said, kid at the playground.

Why do people even like "review" videos anyway? How have they even become such a staple? Why do they even exist in our ecosystem? Are there that many people for whom $15 is such a huge investment that they won't drop it based solely on pictures/written word, but need to invest time in watching some guy manhandle and wheeze over the toy for a while? If it's for the cray-expensive 3rd party stuff I can allllmost understand it...but again, seems like the endless written reviews and photos that pop up would be more than adequate. Gotta hand it to them, though. Some of these guys have managed to find a way to score endless free toys for the brutal, arduous task of awkwardly transforming a transformer on video and making awkward jokes here and there. People actually spend their own money to send these guys toys. Brilliant scam, really. Hats off.

It's the same with video games. Seeing it in motion and being manipulated on camera gives a much better idea of the toy's actual quality.

GrimGypsy posted:stuuuuuuffffff It's not just $15 when you consider that they're part of a wave, and roughly twenty waves of 4 dudes at $15 gets expensive. especially when you add another line at $15, and then another at $22-25, and a few $50 outliers. And even then, it's nice to see the gimmicks in motion, to see if punching that kid for a BW 2-pack was worth it in '95.  Rhyno posted:I love TF4, I don't know what's wrong wit you guys. It's called standards. And TF4 was the best live action TF movie, but that's like saying you're the fastest sloth.

Also take in consideration the more expensive MP and 3P figures that people would want to get a look at before they put big money down. That's why a lot of those reviews in video or text often times have a lot more views over time. Usually the $15 figures people already know they are going to get them but still want an early look at what they are. Those ones, especially, get hits early but taper off over time.

You guys are all all right. Looking at my instructions, Optimus Prime is part 3 of 5 of Ultra Prime. That makes me think there will definitely be a full team of... whatever that special team is gonna be called.

Ultra Prime is probably going to be Optimus and the 4 Autobots repainted from Stunticons.
