I haven’t seen that Soundwave or Bumblebee in metro Detroit, but managed to get both at retail online. Saw the Prime once, so I picked him up just because.

Is $40 really the MSRP of the Headmaster reissues? I haven't really been paying attention because I only want a Weirdwolf if they fixed the backflap issue, and maybe another Skullcrucher because he's cool. It says sold by Walmart so it's not a third-party scalper, but I know their website's done price gouging of rare figures in the past. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers-Generations-Retro-Headmaster-Weirdwolf-Collectible-Action-Figure/816764826

Man around Christmas that netflix soundwave was all over my area. Walmart had overflow shelving for it even. He's almost perfect except one of his thigh bits is longer than the other and it prevents him from tabbing together 100% in alt mode. I have a second one that I may take apart and see if I can fix it with a replacement piece. The relevant siege parts aren't the same otherwise I'd sacrifice that instead.

Thanks, $20 is what I figured it should be. If the back issue's not fixed then I guess I don't need to worry about finding one.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:I was thinking about getting the Ratbat [strike]Frenzy[/strike] Rumble two-pack as well but as far as I can see there's no way to attach the Ratbat to Soundwave in a way that doesn't look stupid. He's got a peg on the back, but there's no chance of him sitting firmly on the shoulder or similar. Yeah, Ratbat doesn't seem to sit on Soundwave but I'm personally pretty happy with him and the other lads sitting in front of their tape daddy. It makes for a nice trio with Ravage  (Apologies for the massive photo but phone posting)

The_Doctor posted:From Reddit: A true masterpiece. Now stick it on the ceiling. Question time: I'm a fan of Prime Arcee as a character and a design ever since I watched it with my son a few years ago. I missed out (and wasn't purchasing) Transformers at the time of the original toy runs. What is the best figure of her and can it be had for sane amounts of money? I know Angel Engine have a new Prime Arcee out that I believe is just a KO of her original figure? I was tempted until I saw close ups of the paintwork and yikes, it seems like it's really bad quality there with all kinds of paving and cracking. I know that Hasbro has a non-transformable one (RED series wasn't it?) but no one ever talks about it so I'm assuming it's not all that great.

The RED one has just hit retail but I wasnt impressed by any of the first wave. You can probably get her original toy for a decent price, just not the First Edition one. And I think Generations Chromia was a retool of the mold?

I could never get the front of the bike to stay together on the FE in any of its forms. The Beast Hunters version is pretty rad too. There's are also Botcon repaints of the US retail and Beast Hunter forms, but they're probably crazy expensive now. Also the tiny legends class version is pretty cool too if you want a smaller one to scale with cars.

it was clear plastic, so it has a tendency to snap off. try to hold it near the joint when you open it to relieve stress on it.
