The Taint Reaper posted:Third use of Optimus Prime mold Which means there's pretty much no chance me getting OP as Thunderclash, Dragstrip as Hurricane, Offroad as Scorch, Breakdown as Flash, and Dead End as Boss. Dear Hastak: I will pay a good $300 plus my soul for this set if you release it as a stupid exclusive somewhere.

Phy posted:Oh, holy poo poo dude, I'm sorry. Schrodinger's Design Flaw. Looking closely at it, it's still structurally fine as long as the motion doesn't widen the gap, and it doesn't look like that's happening at this point. As long as it doesn't progress any further I will be okay with it. My MPs are mostly display pieces anyway. Probably brittle plastic. Maybe a little bit of crazy glue in the gap... not enough to make a tight join, but enough to bridge the two pieces? I don't want to mess the joint up with crazy glue though.

I would rule nothing out, especially after the AOE molds got way more repaints than that. Not only that but we got a full size complete G1 Ultra Magnus that is not a repaint or a remold......now is the time of dreams. But Skylynx first before anything. Like It's hurting bad that I have all the 1984 bots but the 85 ones are missing a big part of their lineup.

The horrible one that's all gold plastic, no less. If it were me, I'd knock that pin out, repair the crack with epoxy, then use a round file to evenly widen the hole, and re-set the pin. That should provide a good-as-new fix.

Just checked my Takara MP-10, hinges are OK.Rhyno posted:Well I ask because I've been picking up all these goofy oversized AOE knockoffs and saw there's an upscaled deluxe Drift Yeah voyager drift is a remold of DOTM Skyhammer, an excellent mold. YMMV but I really like AOE deluxe Drift, very fun transformation and more poseable than you might expect. That upscaled one might prove cool.

I hope they show Combiner Wars Seaspray,Brawn,Outback, and Beachcomber at Botcon or SDCC. Seaspray is the only minibot to have zero representation in Generations thus far. And I hope we get him before they switch over to just releasing a shitload of Tape bots.

I just got my Ultra Magnus from Amazon, he is just amazing in everyway. They could make a properly done Seaspray this time around.

Do TRU.ca and walmart.ca both refuse to ship to your area? Anyway Blackjack is about in the GTA, last time I read over the sightings forum. Aren't you here this monthish?

Phy posted:You're meant to put Breacher in there, and Breacher is the King of Scouts. Breacher is extremely good, but that Windcharger is the best Scout class. I got the Japanese two-pack with Wipe-Out (who is one of Trypticon's littlefellas in the Marvel comics, looks like a black and purple Tailgate there, only the mold used is straight Windcharger. Man, that Legends Windcharger/Tailgate is so bad standing next to the Scout Windcharger. So bad. I want a Voyager Seaspray. Or any good Seaspray, really.

That is probably the least-sensical Combiner Wars repaint to me. I get that they had to repaint Blackjack into some Autobot to go with the Optimus versions of that torso mold, but spoiler gun aside he looks nothing like Rodimus, and Rodimus isn't the kind of character to be a little chest shield. It would have made a lot more sense just to pick some random minicar or micromaster to use. Hell, make him Hubcap, they haven't done a G1 Hubcap yet.

Captain Invictus posted:He will never admit it but yeah he's VA, yeah he sounds like Woody Allen, and yeah he's got WALLS OF ANIME and way too many Transformers(didn't he post a shot of just an entire wall of the drat things once?). I don't know how much of him is gimmick and how much of him is actually just that crazy, though. After reading through the responces, this is all sounding too crazy. Like nobody has ever heard me talk before online ever. Not only that I'm from texas. I think someone else also asked me about the identity before and found nothing because the AD&D screen name sounds familair, but yeah you're barking up the wrong tree. We're not even Steam Friends Invictus, if I played an online game with you before we would have been steam buddies.
