Sluggslinger is also up on Amazon now with a $30 price tag. That's also tempting since I wouldn't have to keep searching for it.


Display is coming along nicely.

Is Slugslinger's wave even out yet? I'm now pondering if I should get him to just complete the set at this point. :v:

I wonder when Power of the Prime preorders go up.

His wave had hit retail according to many people, someone here said he saw multiples.

I put in a few Best Offers in at $50. Hopefully one bites so I don't have to sit at my computer waiting for HST.

Inner Hot Rod is actually pretty big, not deluxe size at all.

Also Rodimus arms just laying there in the back so I guess they just clip on after all (not really sure how could it even work otherwise after all).

Jeez, at least in terms of just how it looks in both modes, that Hot Rod beats out every single iteration of the character since G1, with the possible exception of the Classics' Dome Zero car mode.

Maybe he won't transform as nice as the MP, (e: MP-28, not the shitshow that was MP-9) but he sure looks less awkward.

Nah. Sure, the torso is nicer than the MP but the arms and legs are a shitshow in comparison and the front end of the car mode is revolting, though no doubt it can actually roll so that's a plus.

What, seriously? I would have to guess they mean "Unstable", which will be a sort of "joke" set. Looking at a wiki has Sword of Dungeons and Dragons listed but not Grimlock or Nerf War.

It's weird, when I was looking at images to shamelessly swipe share here and went to both TFW and Seibertron I started to notice that the latter which I didn't visit that often seems to have a much chiller community. TFW has become an endless pool of complaining and the same guys baiting people into the same discussions over and over for eternity. Maybe people tend to get bored of that and went to the other site? who knows. Also I found better pictures and more complete Hascon updates at Seibertron including a nice detailed round-up of everything new we saw which was a cool surprise. Even the regular more known guys like Vangelus don't even post on tfw anymore outside of the podcast (which i give a listen to sometimes while I'm working, it's not bad) because it's such a poo poo community.

e: eh, sorry I don't wanna sound like I constantly just poo poo on tfw for the sake of it, it's still a nice news source the repetitive comments just irk me.

It might be since TFW's been around forever it might have the bigger crowd. And the bigger pool of shitheads.

Also, hey, Hascon exclusives hit HTS on the 20th.

I don't think so, which surprised me when they were announced. Here they are https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/hascon-mtg-promos-revealed

For the uninitiated, there have been several cards like "Sword of Feast and Famine" and "Sword of Light and Shadow" that Sword of Dungeons and Dragons is patterned after, so a bit of a meta joke. Grimlock has a transform ability which allows you to flip him over and he becomes the dinosaur mode creature on the other side. He's not playable in competitive formats but in casual ones the upcoming set is going to introduce a number of dinosaur creatures for him to work with, and they are reclassifying some lizard creatures as dinosaurs.

Part of me doesn't care about Arcee because it's just another Bluur repaint. The other part says it's a convention exclusive that's only about $8~ dollars more expensive than it's counterparts, and comes with a titanmaster that canonically makes literally no sense in existing otherwise but god knows I love collecting all these heads for some reason.

I just realised that not only does the leader class gimmick in POTP means that a leader Star Saber is possible (with his head being a Titan Master), but also that you can retool Star Saber into Thunderwing since they are both small jet robots inside big jet robots.
