Went toy hunting to kill some time tonight. Hitting the TRU, Walmart and Target that are all next to each other. Tru had swoop, so that's one off my list now. Not a terrible start Still hoping for a grimlock somewhere Edit no dice dickeye sad. Might order the wave 1 bundle from bbts, because I don't own a starscream of any kind yet either BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Feb 27, 2018 |

I've seen Grimlock at three Targets in the last week, I think wave 1 is saturating and should be easier to find now. Price on Amazon has been hitting $25 every few days.

The Dreads seem to owe more to black stereotypes than to the Predator, from what I can see, but that's pretty much par for the course with the Bayformers.

Looks like Zoids is coming back with a new anime and toy line, interestingly at a smaller scale than what the franchise normally has focused on(although it's far from the first time the franchise has done small scale stuff)

Keldroc posted:The Dreads seem to owe more to black stereotypes than to the Predator, from what I can see, How so? No seriously, I never made the connection with them being related to black stereotypes other than perhaps the fact that their vehicle modes are black I guess? Then again I never really associated them with Predator either, but between their fangs and dreadlocks I guess I can see the resemblance.

Figured I'd sweep into the Toys R Us in Woking yesterday to browse their selection before they close down and the sum total of their PotP stock was one Micronus. Twinfernos, Tripticons, TR Megatrons, the Cyclonus & Scourge Platinum collection plus various Rescue Bots, Robots in Disguise & a poo poo load of movie toys

With the dreads, the color of their vehicle modes probably matter less than the fact that they transform into law enforcement vehicles like Barricade. I wonder why movie Bumblebee never had a Prowl/Smokescreen/Bluestreak repaint. He's the right shape, with the car hood chest and door wings. There was a Bayformers Smokescreen toy but it was a Jazz repaint.

There's a perfectly good Gunpla thread in ADTRW. Don't use 4chan. Edit: Seriously, gently caress them. They're all Nazis or people who care about hobbies more than they hate Nazis, but I repeat myself.

You should all come hang out in the Gunpla thread and participate in the CSPAM Gunpla modelling challenges once you fall down the rabbit hole like the rest of us. Gunpla is freedom.

Yes the PE kits come with instructions. Sometimes a bit unclear but the Volcanus kit looks simple enough to install.

He thinks it's funny and/or inclusive, to hear him talk about it. Which gold chain wearing one? Onslaught and Nitro Zeus sound like white guys (because that’s who voiced them), Berserker talks about sucking veins so I guess you’re saying Michael Bay thinks black peoples are raging vampires, and Dreadbot is covered in Christmas lights and doesn’t take the bank money (which kinda plays against the stereotype of “impoverished black criminal who commits crimes to get money”). Like I said, I’m not seeing it. Are they all thugs? Yeah. Are they all black thugs? I think you’re projecting a little bit.
