Have they ever done a revision within the Masterpiece line that addressed issues in a later run of the same figure? I like hound but the reports make me pretty gun shy. Masterpiece is starting to feel more like a statue you just put on the shelf than something you'd want to transform.

Not a fan of Beast Wars with a diff cast. Just redo the old show with current CG. I wanna see them bloody cheetah guts all over the top of that blaster. i wanna see every crusty hair on optimus ape rear end individually rendered.

I'm waiting for the toy-colored MP Hound, hopefully they'll have fixed all this by then.

He’s closed up the mailbox for just this reason. People are far too generous and were sending him too much stuff, and it was piling up. This creates a sense of guilt because people want to see their stuff featured and him reacting to it, so that video needs to be filmed, and that takes away from actual reviewing. I suspect there’s probably still leftover stuff that won’t get filmed now, but hey, reviews are better. I know he wasn’t happy with people basically sending him boxes of broken tat.

I will take Thew in all forms, though it is nice to have an actual review too haha. But the shooting the poo poo format of Dammit Opens is also good still. What I'm saying is Thew good.

This is all the feeling I got also. Also I liked the Dammit Opens but I also like the reviews.

Its hardly ragging though. I'm glad the PO Box is done with too because I too got tired of unboxing after unboxing. The best thing that came out of it though was that weird guy with the Tentakill obsession.

After a while it turned into a flowchart of open box, if good: say nice things, if bad: struggle not to be mean. Didn't seem good for his mental health at all.

Yeah if it leads to him seeing less weird tentacle drawings of himself, that seems like a really good thing.

Siege leaders are allegedly out, though I'm pretty skeptical since there's no photo of them actually on shelves. Prime looks so tiny in that box, I'm personally fine with paying leader prices and getting a trailer, but I'm surprised they didn't package him better like they did with Astrotrain since I'm pretty sure they're about the same size. https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/evit1h/huge_score_at_target_today/

Oh huh, I didn’t realise Spacebus was Earthrise. Makes sense why I hadn’t seen him.

I wish Earthrise will finally give Shockwave an Earth alt mode. And not a tank, since Megatron is already one. I always feel like he should be a truck with all his science equipment stored in his trailer. Hasbro probably would just make him a helicopter though for future retooling into Whirl.

God Bomber came into stock while I was asleep so that invoice is paid. Supposedly the first two Seacons are arriving by Friday so I'm holding off on shipping til then.

Yeah, the regular version came into stock. TCP confirmed the first two Seacons are waiting to be released from customs so as soon as those drop into my stash I will have another big box of robots on the way.

I just had what I assume is a completely original thought (but probably isn't)... are the new MPs so spendy because Hasbro is involved now and American Corporate Greed?

A mix of realizing their niche consumer group is pretty well conditioned to pay absurd prices and the equally absurd obsession with G1 cartoon accurate appearances requiring excessive amounts of over-engineering to pull off.

MMC Bruticus may not be HUGEMONGOUS but the add on booties really make a difference here.  This set may end up displayed in combined mode after all.

The otaku tax has been around a long time and they just realized how hard they could milk people once they saw 3P stuff selling for the numbers it was. They tested the waters with each price hike and I don't think sales really faltered.
