Hasbro is apparently chasing 3rd parties into the late era G1 realm because a bunch of the Third Parties announced poo poo like THE NEW Thunderwing, Seacons and Liokaiser. All is in vain, for nothing shall stand up to the relentless plastic barrage of the Hassenfeld Brothers.

I'm sure Paul will match it but going through him it will be without packaging. Edit: Or not. He has it noted as with packaging.

Four is definitely on the shelves, I bought a Mirage from a pile of discarded TF toys in some corner of walmart away from the glorious Star Wars displays. He is good and blue. Deceptive Thinker posted:4 is on shelves I doubt it is relevant now but I've been meaning to ask.

Case assortments are generally public knowledge and easy to find. Wave four is two of each guy per case, no revisions yet. As we wave 3. I assume the next waves will be the same.

I'm wondering if I should pre-order the Skylynx wave because last waves tend to be a bitch to get a hold of, but then again brainstorm, Arcee, and Chromia are still readily available.

Spiderdrake posted:Is it a violation of your presumed NDA to discuss case assortments that are on the shelves or is that information that can be publicly disseminated without repercussion? No, generally anything that's announced or released I can talk about, with a few exceptions (typically "do not put on shelf until X/X/X" stuff) edit: wave 4 is pretty saturated, we've had them in our store for a few weeks, which usually gets things a few weeks after everywhere else

So how does Sirtoys procure such a vast amount of knockoffs? Like it seems weird that there would be this massive hub of fake plastic. Like knockoffs have always had the issue of never having stable supply and many of them are fly by night companies.

Only two finished modes shown but they have the concept image behind the alt mode. And it appears to be MP Magnus sized! Killer!

So I am curious if anyone in thread has been to Botcon before? I was looking into it over the weekend and saw it's in Louisville next year which is about a 3 hour drive. I have a hotel room for it at the moment and part of me is rather giddy considering how long I've been a fan. Any thing I can expect while I'm there? Are there fun panels? Are there at least a lot of Transformers to look at and go "oooooooo"?

Why cookie Rocket posted:I used all my "naming my kids after stuff I love" points when I named my first kid Harpo. Skids and Mudflap You're welcome. Are their any indications on what toys from Sirtoys will not explode into plastic chunks upon ordering them? I would love to just order like a bunch of things from there, but the thought of ordering a bunch of cool looking dudes and then having them shatter or just not work terrifies me. Plus I can only imagine that the shipping is nuts.

I'm not gonna lie, if I had twins, the thought of naming them Luke and Leia might have crossed my mind, but those are actual normal names than a ton of people have (although Leia is usually spelled Leah).

Gammatron 64 posted:Congrats man! If they weren't girls I would've named one Jim, after Jim Bexley Speed; and the other Bexley, after Jim Bexley Speed. The big green elephant transformer I got from Sirtoys is really solid and I forgot it was a triple-changer. Mostly because none of the modes are especially perfect. Not like "squint and it looks kind of like a tank" bad like some bots with third modes, but like the robot mode has some odd proportions and the tank mode is just a notch above a transmetal's 3rd mode. Those negatives aside, it's exactly what it looks like-- a roughly leader-sized robot that turns into a mechanical elephant. We don't have a great official elephant TF yet, so this helps scratch the itch. The hunt for a hippo transformer continues...

Anora posted:Ironhide from Beast Wars was There's BW Ironhide, and Torca almost scratches the itch. Sirtoys also has a orange and yellow elephant-former that I picked up, but I don't love it. Big Convoy rules of course. But I really hope that someday we get a super-cool elephant. As long as I'm sleep-deprived and rambling my #1 retarded dream want is a hearse that turns into a robot version of the Undertaker like those Star Wars or Marvel transformers (but designed by someone competent).
