already shows sold out on RamjetSandstorm

plus Pulse shipping is still really expensive to Canada. I think I'll wait and see if he shows up on A3U rather than get him from one of the US shops. I've been sending a fair amount of my purchases their way lately, between OX Arcee and a bunch of Earthrise preorders. I just wish they did Pile of Loot.

Picked up Blast Master and Fuzer today, a fun little detail is that Blast Master has a tiny cockpit molded onto his half of the shuttle while Fuzer has engines molded onto his, so that they could still feasibly act as two separate vehicles in alt mode rather than just a space shuttle that's been chopped in half.

It's up at a3u now too, but checking shipping costs on a single voyager, out of thechosenprime, tfsource, bbts, and A3U, it's actually cheapest from bbts, for me anyway

So I won't get it until March, but at least I save four dollars lol

(bbts also had preorders still open for rung and the micromaster wave with the shuttle guys, so I threw them all in a PoL order together)

It's just sad cause Baltmatrix seems to like him, but the mother fucker just can't help but do stupid poo poo. Like I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and think he's just a stupid early 20 moron who spent a lot of time on Reddit/the chan boards, but he just keeps doing poo poo.

Also, anyone shopping at Target seen any Bandai Models? I saw a Star Wars one, but supposedly they have Gundam Models, but not the ones near me. Up in the Magic Cards/collectables section near the registers they have Letrabots, which are the Letter TFs, but these form a super robot too. They're adorable, and have decent plastic on them.

So is Jobby just trying really hard to...gently caress it I'll just be frank- why is he continuing to act like a racist shithead? His last few videos have been obnoxiously unwatchable and it's like he's trying to bait people into calling him on it.

Which gives the vibe that he genuinely believes in that poo poo because that's how that tends to go

A non-zero amount of the kind of nerds that buy Transformers are racist shitheads. From a purely business perspective, catering to that kind of audience is a reasonable move.

That's what I'm wondering. He's either being intensely stupid and trying to Troll without understanding the meaning behind his trolls, or actually believes it and is just trying to Dog Whistle to his 4chan friends.

I'm not so certain it'll be the ER Prime mold. Remember, they made an entirely new inner robot mode for Magnus, different from the Voyager one they already had, only to remold it as an all new, 2nd other Prime entirely.

New mold that can double as a Powermaster Prime is my bet.

I haven't tried it out at all, but according to some folks over at cybertron ca, Sandstorm is available for preorder at EB Games. There's nothing for him online yet, you have to do it in-store, or possibly over the phone. Don't know when he's supposed to be in, but it might be worth your while. Here's their "product code":

No it isn't. From a "purely business perspective" reviewing TFs is not a highly profitable industry.

Further splitting the niche into the racist idiots who also like children's toys is splintering pennies unless they're backing your patreon over your dog whistling, which you're not going to be high enough profile through your reviews to do.

Dude is probably just a fuckwit racist and stop giving him clicks.

I finally found the Cyberverse Arcee, the way her backpack folds up is pretty cool. I mean, it's still a gigantic backpack and I wish they'd distribute the car parts more evenly rather than making all the female characters a sexy petite waif with a car on their back, but at least it's not just a car folded in half like the Earthrise version. There's some double joints and collapsing wheels and stuff that at least do something more than flip up.

So FT Beachcomber is a really great little bot but I have zero attachment to the character and can't figure out why I actually bought it.

The MMC Prime is very, very nice. Looks expensive though, and the only money MMC are getting from me is for their lovely gay couple.

Yeah I've put the brakes on 3P buying. I'm going to be reevaluating my TF buying pretty heavily. I've made it no secret that MOTU Origins made me realize where my collecting focus should have been. I'll still buy TFs but it's going to be mostly Hasbro since the main line has been knocking it out of the park so hard. I will of course still buy every single Stunticon any 3P releases.

I watched exactly one video of his and it was him excusing making a joke making fun of trans people by saying "I watch Steven Universe." and I decided he was at best a loving moron.

Please don't take my post as a defense of him. Either he's a racist POS or he's cynically pandering to racist POSes, and which is which doesn't really matter.

Ah but did you also buy the crazy colour G2 Japanese character repaint like I did?

I haven't bought new new Sky Lynx yet because it seems far more reasonable to spend another £35 and get Scorponok... undecided as yet though.
