SlothfulCobra posted:But to some people, taking those characters and bumping them up against eachother to imagine that they're in a relationship is what they love most about whatever fiction they're into, and that's fine. Other people want to make them fight, and other people want to make them play out the story of being in a doomed society falling apart and barely scraping by in the ruins. If it was "they're relationship focused and I don't like it" I wouldn't have cared, but it was "they're relationship focused and that is bad and a betrayal of the franchise and RUINED FOREVER etc" so that can go hang. Phy posted:I did pick up Primal and the big skelesaurus. I cancelled them out of a preorder last month but things are a little better now and I felt weird about getting Megatron and not Primal. Kinda want to pick up Blackarachnia too but "mondo titties and she turns into a giant horrible spider" may be a tough sell with my wife. Walmart seems to get stuff in but it's super late and random as to when. I remember people couldn't find Elita-1 for love nor money and there were six on the shelf when I went. I'm guessing they order by algorithm or something.

I don't know how legit this site is, it's web 1.0 as gently caress, but: http://wrestlingsuperstore.com/trashcansforwrestlingactionfigures.aspx also: http://wrestlingsuperstore.com/foldingchairforwrestlingfigures.aspx (they also have breakable tables, which would have been the perfect accessory for the Prowl I sent one of yall a few Secret Santas ago)

They’ve made pretty much every major G1 character in the last two years. A new Devastator or more Dinobots, are my only real wants that haven’t had a WFC release. I’m not a Cliffjumper fan, but I saw one at Meijer the other day, and figured Bumblebee needed a friend. Plus, all respect to Casey Kasem.

I just got SS86 Grimlock. He's not perfect - I wish the Wheelie Money had gone to covering screwholes and better weapon storage, and a sword - but he's pretty dang good! And rightfully huge, even if he isn't as dense as I'd like.

He wouldn’t have had a sword even without Wheelie. Studio Series is all about screen accuracy and cartoon Grimlock never had the sword from the toy.

Don't get me wrong. I adore all the weird shipping. Jazz and Soundwave have several kids? Allright!

Phy posted:I did pick up Primal Oh no. Oh crap, people. Primal's good. He's a 5/8ths scale '96 Primal with wrists and ankles and a gorilla neck. He's missing the firing missile launchers and the chest-beating gimmick but that's it. Both arms have pop-out forearm blasters, which I totally didn't realize when I bought him.

Well there's this page. I like that they list it as a unisex toy. This garbage can is fun for both boys and girls! https://www.wish.com/product/5a6ac8da89ce454ab474511d?from_ad=goog_shopping

I would just try getting mini soda cans and taking off the labels. There's also small vegetable cans out there, but I think the horizontal ribbing might take away from looking like trash cans.

My enthusiasm has receded since last night, but if I do get anything it'll be the WWE cans. Primal's hands open up and the WWE can lids have handles that looks like he can hold them like the actual garbage ape e: enthusiasm for garbage cans, not for Primal, he's still really goddamn good.

Nabbed a complete Tripredacus off ebay for $100. Every limb, every insect leg, all the weapons, fantastic I had figured in the 20 years since I lost/sold/threw out my Tripredacus, I'd have enough wisdom to be able to transform the beetle, but no. Cicadacon? Fantastic Sea Clamp? Fantastic Ram Horn? Dogshit. Absolute hogshit transformer that seems to defy the laws of three dimensional space, and I understand why I just left the bastard in "Tripredacus's Arms" mode all the time as a kid Tripredacus is still dope as gently caress though, and he honestly doesn't look or feel terribly out of place against lots of modern Transformers

Knormal posted:Rumor has it there's an earth mode Sideswipe in the pipeline, but I find that kind of unlikely since I don't really see where in the current lineup it'd fit. Kingdom seems pretty full and Sideswipe seems like an unlikely choice for Studio Series. But then so was Jazz. The rumor says it's supposed to be an exclusive; specifically, in a two pack with Voyager Dinobot as Beast Wars Grimlock.

I've got a wishlist of toys I'm going after based entirely off of "Characters I like" from various cartoons and IDW comics. I was able to pick up a devastator really cheap but my brain worms demands I keep some form of parity and I need an autobot combiner for him to menacingly stare at. Shame all the combiner wars poo poo is so expensive EXCEPT for devastator.

Do you want something Devastator sized? He towers over the CW teams. I have the oversized Defensor set in my "sell this stuff" pile and it would scale better with that Dev.

Rhyno posted:There's cheap knockoffs. I'm not too concerned about size but I've been avoiding knockoffs. I have a few people looking for a superion for me as he's my favorite Autobot combiner. I think my wishlist now is down to most of the Studio86 stuff which I already have pre-ordered, a Superion, Overlord (Based entirely on his IDW stuff) and Jetfire which again I already have on pre-order. After that I'm probably going to calm down on this a bit  EDIT: I'm also scooping up any Wreckers I can find regardless of continuity. I've got a little shelf dedicated to them already.
