Iced Cocoa posted:Yeah, and I was looking forwards to owning a G1-looking Jazz for once. I guess I'm going to wait for the reviews to make the final decision on that one. And that probably counts for the rest of the line except few big names (Elita-1, Rodimus). Track down the Generations/Reveal the Shield Jazz. One of the best Transformers ever made. You won't be sorry. It's so much better than this new one.

Is that Jazz part of a combiner that’s coming out with this series of toys or is it supposed to go with older stuff? I don’t have any older combiners so I’ll just skip it if it’s supposed to go solo.

I think it's just supposed to work with the other Autobot combiners - Prowl, Hound, etc. I'm either holding out for an official MP Jazz or get Downbeat.

You can use him as a limb for the new Starscream that I think is a combiner torso. They form Cybertronian executive branch combiner Cabinetron.

Still seems like a crazy high price, even at that size and complexity. Gotta pay for quality, I guess. Also, can confirm that the DCPI for the PotP Deluxe wave is separate from CW/TR. The shelves at Target were full of Triggerhappy, Quake, and Krok, but the manager was able to look up the PotP DCPI and go get them from the back for me. So if Brickseek says it's there but it's not on the pegs, ask someone about the DCPI. For once it looks like you won't necessarily get the "If it's here it's on the floor" answer.

Target in Missouri had nothing for the new dpci (no shock) but hopeful for the next couple weeks before December.

Man the "bios" on the PotP cardbacks are hilariously lazy. Every one is the same sentence: "How will the [adjective] [character function] wield the POWER OF THE PRIMES™?" Why cookie Rocket posted:Well they had to split the difference for the eventual remold into Tigatron....right? Right? Guys? Tigatron should still be a little bigger than Cheetor, meaning HasTak has to make an OSKO of their own mold. What a time to be alive.

Every one is the same sentence: For my money the best bio is still Armada Galvatron, because it features the Goblet of Strife. Dinobot looks cool as hell but I'd like to get my fat mitts on a Devastator before I even start going after the BWMPs.

That Dinobot looks loving awesome but it's a touch on the too expensive side for me I think, I hope there are more Beast Wars homages in PotP because I'm liking what I'm seeing so far unrelated but Rodimus Unicronus looks like Judd Nelson does IRL

MP22 is being KO'd currently by at least two different companies, which a paranoid person would assume has something to do with the reissue happening next year.

The first MP22 KO has been in the works for ages with little progress. The current one is some sort of factory seconds thing, much like the first Star Saber KOs.

I found Slag and Dreadwind. I was happy to find all those pictures where his frill runs straight into his body so he looks like a doorstop are mistransformed, he does have a neck in dinosaur mode. No articulation, but at least there's a gap there. Other than that, he looks pretty anemic and bent legged for a Triceratops, but whatever. He could be worse. The black back in the stock photos is also wrong, the production version ended up with a grey back with just a black stripe. Dreadwind's an Arielbot in more interesting colors, nothing unexpected there.

Holy poo poo, his thingy even spins like the original toy! God... that price tag really hurts. But if you're a Beast Wars fan, you gotta get him. It's loving Dinobot. He isn't optional. Dinobot's the coolest character in the whole show. After Dinobot, the 2nd coolest character is Beast Megatron. If Dinobot is that big... good lord, how huge would Megatron be?

Gammatron 64 posted:After Dinobot, the 2nd coolest character is Beast Megatron. If Dinobot is that big... good lord, how huge would Megatron be? He would be about a head taller than Dinobot, but the thing is that BW Megatron's transformation is WAY simpler than Dinobot's so chances are Megs would at worst only be as expensive as Dinobot, even with the increased bulk. The best part is that since Dinobot comes with the "Sounds of Earth" golden disk, we'll finally be able to get official heights for the characters. Edit: Also, we're getting some pseudo confirmation that Dinobot has a movable jaw on his different robot mode faces TaurusOxford fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Nov 13, 2017 |

Are there any sites that sell TFs that allow you to steadily pay for a TF instead of all at once? I'd love to have Dinobot but there's zero chance I can pay that much at one time.

I think Peaugh is losing interest in it all. He’s been complaining a lot that YouTube hits are down and that he may stop in the future. Keith from KFC was making GBS threads on him too for pointing out one of their precious toys broke during his review.

Probably interest involved but other than that I've never seen an online seller doing layaway.

Yeah, I haven't seen a lot of reviews from him anymore. I can't blame him. He used to review practically everything. He was practically doing a service by doing that, but that's expensive. Youtube never generated a lot of money for most people, and now it's totally dead. People are having to set up patreon accounts now. CAPT.
