I Like that PotP Prime. Not as much as the God Ginrai one but I don't have any Optimuses in my collection. Edit: Seeing as I got the page snype: I will own the entire Dinobot PotP set, they look amazing

The thing about the PotP Prime is that while I'm not fussed about the big guy, I really love that Orion Pax.

I decided that despite terrible reviews and it being unlikely to ever see an MP Ginrai, I want the PE upgrades for Magnus Prime. One of my trusted Ebay sellers had the core Ginrai figure for $5 over retail shipped so I grabbed that up. I preordered the weapon and upgrade kit and yes I know Godbomber blows but I need to that now so I can have the full figure upgrade. I also put Hades together for the first time  Combined mode is okayish, not as floppy as people have reported. I'm probably going to end up displaying them in individual bot modes.

I thought Magnus Prime was slightly retooled so you can't even put the Godbomber leg parts on him?

No, that's an assembly error lacking the parts needed to combine, affecting an amount of, but not all, samples of the toy.

He'll buy a fourth party add on kit to add the tabs. Hades looks pretty decent there.

Otherwise identical. Godbomber is $85+ so that can wait for now but I'll probably do it soon as I expect the price will continue to climb.

Yeah I assumed it was the exact same then saw some pictures of it lacking the parts but like TFR said it was apparently an assembly error. A bit unrelated but I just read that Harmony Gold can only keep milking the Macross rights 'till 2021 or so.

Rhyno, you know the OSKO dark arts, do you think Wei Jiang (or whoever are doing them) will get up to Perceptor in the TR line? I vastly prefer the original Generations Brainstorm, but he towers over Perceptor, and I want my science bros to be roughly similar.

WJ seems to start a KO OS line and then it sort of fizzles out. Their RID line hasn't had a new bot in a year and the CW and TR stuff is trickling out super slow. I am hopeful that the TRs are so successful that they keep on rolling with them but we haven't seen a new bot teased since April. More KO chat, if you like the KO'd GT Devastator the limbs are super cheap right now from a trusted AE seller. $10.59 shipped each. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pre...ea-c085254f17d8

This may be a stupid question, but has anyone made a decent (and decently-priced) KO of Dia-Battles? I love the design, but I can't pay $160 for a Voyager-sized robot.

Finally had the chance to sit down, pop open, and sticker up my Trypticon. Took me about two and a half hours and I lost a couple tiny inconsequential ones to tearing because they're crazy thin foil stickers, and I didn't put the stickers over the eyes for obvious reasons, but so worth it. The thing looks incredible and I love the spaceship mode even more in person. It just clips together so well. I can't wait til I have real display space to put him on. Thankfully you can easily slide his legs back off and repackage him no problem.

Build quality is roughly on par with CW Devestator. Also the MB Onslaught dropped a few weeks back. I'll pick one up when the price plummets like the limbs did.

DOUBLE POSTIN' TR Arcee goes up for sale tomorrow on HST with a limit 2 per household. I'll be awake at midnight to check if it's gone live and again at 8am but who knows when they will put them up. I'm gonna try and order two so if somebody here needs one I hope to have a spare but I want to put the call out for anyone else to try and score two in the case that I can't get back to a pc when it is up for sale. Let's help each other out!
