Spiderdrake posted:I only vaguely recall AoE but according to tfwiki Lockdown's "mission" was to capture "the knights" for "the creators", with Optimus being a knight Cyberverse Grimlock doesn't look like a knight though. Keldroc posted:Granted I haven't watched the show, but Grimlock doesn't come off like a knight in the game. He sounds like a pretentious Ivy League guy, but I would never think "knight" about that character. That's a good analogy as well. Grimlock is great.

I got shipping notice for mine, too. My God Neptune set showed up yesterday and the shipping box was comically oversized. As in, I could fit inside it if I tried.

I suddenly realised that I had setup a rule to auto archive all of the spam from Zavvi before checking and seeing that it's still projected to arrive at the end of January

I got an email from Target, I had to log in and accept the new delayed delivery date for Thrust. It said accepting the new date was "required", so I assume they would have cancelled the preorder if I didn't respond in a timely fashion. Heads up for anyone else expecting a Thrust.

They probably had to delay him so PrimevsPrime could get his review out before anyone could have it. In other news, my Secret Santee gift goes out tomorrow, just had to get some local Chicago snacks that travel well to put in with the main gifts. It does NOT include Vienna sausages, "America's Oldest Hotdog," introduced at the Colombian Exposition in 1893 as a street food by two German Jews. They're kosher! But... best to not send people meat through the mail, y'know? What if my Santee is vegan? Who knows.

We'd just come back from a German themed town and had bought a bit too much sausage. My santee's gift went out yesterday. Hopefully it takes less time than the estimate I got when the label was purchased :|

My santee's gift went out today! There is no meat in the package, but there is gum that tastes like soap, which my wife insists is an indelible part of junk food canadiana, despite I've never seen anything like that except at a Spencer's Gifts. (There is also a shitload of other junk foods, all much better, don't worry.)

I love where this is going. And maybe I can't hold my own gun up My hand don't fit this peg! Ha ha ha ha! 90's Tank Megatron seems to have shipped from Hasbro Pulse. (Also, if someone sent ME any local meat it's okay I was lusting after gator jerky earlier.) (Hmmm. I guess we're not doing phrasing anymore?)

Well, I'm glad I didn't send this Runamuck to my santee: His head elected to come apart at the neck rather than move.

So, just tossing this out there in case anyone is interested. I'm selling off my entire TF: Prime collection. Every figure here except Ratchet is complete and 95% of them have instructions. I did the usual, priced them out from completed EBay listings and deducted ebay operating expenses. Goon price is $500 + actual shipping. Sorry about the poo poo photos.

Phy posted:Well, I'm glad I didn't send this Runamuck to my santee: You could probably fix it. This reminds me of the time years ago when I realized that Maketoys Gundog actually had a waist swivel but some paint or something had made it immobile. One hell of a QC issue. Cut my finger pretty bad trying to pry everything apart after removing all the screws. Just be careful, is all I'm saying! Also... I seem to have received meat by post, which makes some of my previous comments a bit funny. This is a good day.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:You could probably fix it. Oh yeah, I've contacted A3U about getting an exchange already but if they won't/can't take him back I got plans, mainly involving an exacto, some brass rod, and a hand drill. I think what happened is, his head's glued together instead of screwed, and some of the glue slopped in and gummed up the ball joint.

I finally opened ER Sunstreaker last night (kinda to make up for Runamuck), and found something I don't think I've noticed before. We've all seen fake hood/roof chests by now. Sunny's official MP, as well as the Badcube toy, both do that to improve his proportions in car mode. ER Sunny avoids that, as his car mode roof is his real chest - but he has fake hood toes.  The bottom of his feet and the backs of his legs are the car mode hood and all the window bits that don't become chest. The headlights and hood curvature are recreated on the top of his feet. I understand why the designers did it, it's just... funky. (Also writing this I discovered that the bit of hood immediately in front of the windshield becomes flip-down heel spurs, which I missed when I took the pictures)

I'm not tired, but by the time I get both the money and space, they probably won't be for sale anymore. I probably wasn't the one who said it before, though.

Don't sweat it. If you're like me you like the feeling it's going "in house" and hassle free. Also I might be selling some thing soon...

From PrimevsPrime's review of Thrust, it looks like what I suspected is true; his wings can fold up like standard Seeker wings if you want. What terrible accent am I learning by listening to him so much anyway? I feel like he's the British version of a mafia stereotype talking in academic terms.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:From PrimevsPrime's review of Thrust, it looks like what I suspected is true; his wings can fold up like standard Seeker wings if you want. He's got a fairly standard SE England/Home Counties accent, lower middle class (notice how he pronounces 'Thrust' as 'Frust'). He's adopting the style of our UK TV presenters (the younger ones, obviously), who are usually excitable in the same way.
