The only things he has beaten thus far are: vehicons (don't really count) and a Starscream clone. Sure he ran around with some toxic energon, but still his track record is less than stellar. He always seemed like the newbie wrecker to me. One of Prime's issues was the odd kill count imbalance as well, The Deceptcons killed basically everyone that died, except the vehicons, including their own members. I think the only actual Autobot kill was from one of the human characters.

Am I the first one in the thread to get one? I thought I'd be late to the party. I've sort of stopped following the thread as much.

BTW if anyone still had some doubts, the Abominus powerpoint slides are confirmed fake, some dude came out and said he did it to raise some Abominus awareness.

Well now he's saying his allotment is delayed and WeiJiang is sold out of the first batch. The original MP-10 KOs sell for $200 when they pop up and I can easily see this guy doing the same thing so I think I'm gonna grab one from Ebay. How long did yours take to ship?

Yeah, I got some awesome stuff last year from my Santa. Though I felt bad for my Santa, cause Kansas has poo poo thrift stores. I literally got the only two decent TF toys I'd ever seen in a thrift store for him, and it still felt kind of "meh." At least I got him the Waspinator he wanted.

Just super stroked for Headmastering Metallichawk.

Go outside the norms! That's why I've given a month between being assigned and last posting day, so people can really think about stuff, and get creative.

Generally, the point of gift giving is that you get something you wouldn't necessarily get for your self. Otherwise just give cash or gift certificates. The upside is that you occasionally get something awesome that you would never have thought of, never realized you liked or wanted. The downside is that you often get socks.

I was originally not going to join Secret Santa this year but it seems fun. Additionally I have a few old guys that could use a knew home to appreciate them. What is the policy on gifting preowned stuff? I know there are price guide lines so I could figure out what I'm gifting is worth if that's the main thing. Wouldn't gift anything broken or incomplete of course.

When will we the rest of the Titan Wars Wave 1 deluxes? I am really hoping they have less retools than combiner wars and more unique/original molds.

Totally forgot to mention that I would do fantastic things to any secret Santa that got me Nonnef's Blackjack and/or Rodimus Connectors and/or the Motormaster hip replacements.DisposableHero posted:What is the policy on gifting preowned stuff? I know there are price guide lines so I could figure out what I'm gifting is worth if that's the main thing. I know I only got one thing still in it's box last year (which I never took out of the package, for no reason, a Commemorative Series Skids, it just looks so nice in it's box). I thought it was fine to have opened guys, less package tearing to get to the fun of transforming them.

I don't think I did SS last year, but I think the last one I did, my Santa gave me a Skullcruncher, which is about the only G1 figure I'd have actually wanted and I didn't even know I did. Mechanical animals are cool.

Why cookie Rocket posted:Yes please I look forward to seeing it. realtalk though it would be nice if they'd take some of the pretenders and just make them into headmasters. Many of the pretenders are cool, but the pretenders concept itself is sort of lacking. Making them headmasters allows you to make the headmaster resemble the original core robot, but then have a cooler outer robot form that better hybridizes the two "robots". So joking aside, Metalhawk as a headmaster would own. I'm not hoping for much more, past what we've seen, than Minerva and Fort Max though. I'm not even sure I want the inevitable Spacebus repaint, given how weird Astrotrain as headmaster feels. Unless the headmaster is like, Couch.

Save20 gets you 20% off everything in the Hasbro online store, including Devastator I believe. If you're looking for some cheaper Combiner Wars dudes, there's your jam. 30 bucks off Devs ain't nothing to sneeze at. edit: also this thing for 60 bucks, I guess.

I would do a group buy on one of those to get the Arcee, but I'm pretty sure Arcee is the one everybody would want so that wouldn't work so well.

Interestingly the SDCC Kreo Class of 85 is still available to buy on HTS as well. Considering the Class of 84 sold out incredibly quickly, that's quite a surprise.

But if anyone has any questions or anything I'd be happy to help. Transformation not loving retarded like the fembots? I was considering him, with the former being a huge plus but the latter being a major downer. Salvia feels great in hand but transforming her is beyond sonic drill levels of gently caress this. On the other hand I'm still pretty tempted to collect the FP dinos if Severo turns out well.

Spiderdrake posted:Plastic quality in line with their fembots? The MMC Impactor is great, the transformation is actually refreshingly simple and fun. There's a couple of weird questionably necessary hinge-y bits that are easy to forget during transformation (the swiveling upper thigh panels are particularly puzzling) but overall he's my favorite third party toy in a while. Plastic quality seems good to me, but what do I know.

Not quite 3P Ironfist or Toyworld Headmaster levels. I really like the transformation. It feels like the kind of scheme/engineering that a legit voyager would have (for the most part). The alt more is a bit dumb, because you end up with an otherwise pretty cool tank that has a tiiiiiiny li'l duckbill cannon on top. But if you can deal with how it looks in photos, you'll be find with it in person.
