Something is definitely screwy. Like they signed a secret distribution deal with loving Walgreens as that's the only place people seem to be finding Wave 3 and even 4 already.

Not here in MA. Found wave three deluxes at a local Target and Wal-Mart. Haven't checked some of the other locations here though.

I haven't explored all the modes yet but so far Sixshot is very fun. Some parts are a little trick to tab in but I'm loving the fact he can have an off-roading pal.

In pictures of Kup and Chromedome, I'm really bothered by the fact that the headmaster seat in vehicle mode is in the middle as opposed to off to one side.

I went with sixshot.


But then they just had those two leaders. No deluxes or voyagers or even any RID. Bizarre.

You probably made the right choice. Soundwave is all over the place, Sixshot will no doubt be scare.

I don't really hunt anymore, just stick to Masterpieces. But I do poke my head in to the toy aisles every now and then. All I've seen lately are those blind boxed guys that you pull a little tab on the head to transform and seas of Ravages and Laserbeaks. My local comic shop has like 6 deluxe Grooves.

So I was just browsing Groupon UK, and saw Scattershot and Onslaught for £27 the pair, if anyone is interested.

I was having a discussion with someone on Twitter the other day, and I think the reason I'm not digging Lost Light is that I don't think the art helps. I mean, it's a story about the rise of robo-fascism that loses all it's insight when it's drawn in such a cartoon-y style

Am I missing something with Six Shot or do his ankle tilts lock in a far to extreme an angle. Either that or they aren't ankle tilts and I somehow missed how they're used in a transformation?

Hot Rod is great, if a little long in the arms. Be careful of the arm clips on the back of the elbows though. They are a bit rough to get out on the first try and one side of mine has stress marks. Give them a little sideways twist (they will barely move), and they unhook easier.

Most everything worth a drat is out of stock or only available in stores, but if you missed out on Combiner Wars Devastator, they've got him in stock for 170 bucks. Dunno what the going price for him is these days but that might be worth it if he's skyrocketed in price.

They're both incredibly good, but the top heavy-ness of Sandstorms boy mode makes him a little rough to display.

I keep him in a kneeling position kinda leaning up against some more stable dudes with Springer by his side in a dope warrior pose

Those dudes rule. Wish there was more versions of the mold outside of Cloud Rodimus which I'll never get

It'll be square n chunky cartoon Springer instead of slim n trim Generations Springer. That's different enough.

Rumor is there will be a new Movie Masterpiece Optimus based on The Last Knight.

looking more 07/ROTF there - and it's gonna be tough to beat the ROTF Leader.

Tough... but definitely doable. By forgoing the light-and-sound features and intrusive MechAlive gimmickry, the torso can be made far more accurate and even support an articulated waist. The backpack can likewise be slimmed down, and all of those improvements can also offer room to better deal with the arm and shoulder kibble.

below the waist, though, ROTF Leader Prime is already a masterpiece - and the rumored render certainly seems to have acknowledged that! All he needs are the originally- planned slimming tires and fold-away toolboxes.
