DoctorWhat posted:Movie toys from 2008 are older now than beast wars toys were then Made with better plastic though. Movie toys are made with much more spindly parts, but they're generally doing a lot better than my Beast Wars toys were back then. No crumbling to bits, much less parts snapping off. Except for Scalpel, who was pretty doomed. And now that they've moved away from balljoints and away from the worst eccentricities of the bayformer style, they seem even more durable and may last much longer. Although I can imagine Titanmasters may have some issues with aging.

My Tracks just arrived! And it does indeed have the leg problem! Looking at it, it does seem like the pin just isn't in all the way. Thing is, it's annoying that it doesn't all tab together properly, but it's not actually stopping me posing him. Maybe if I was going for something more dynamic it would be an issue, but getting him standing up and looking cool isn't really an issue. Getting him transformed is a fiddly pain in the neck for sure. Those little tabs on the front of the clear plastic top shell don't seem to be serving any purpose other than making it really, really difficult to peg in and out. It already secures onto the legs just fine!

Core class dinobots are pocket friends you can take anywhere!  I had PotP Cindersaur living in one of my winter coat pockets for over a year.

I should bring Slash over to be a deskbot next time I'm at home and have time to visit my storage unit.

I’m gonna end up buying Cosmos in the UK because I’ve yet to see any of the Velocitrons in a Walmart here. I mean, I’m in the US till Tuesday, so there’s time, but it’s not looking likely.

Wow, Red Cog sure has a lot of guns. Four extra guns, five barrels, and a sort of cylinder thing that comes in two parts that can bulk things up. An embarrassment of pew-pew-pews. No official "permanent" configuration on any of it, the instructions show different configs for different modes. How dare you make me use my imagination, Hasbro. How dare you.

Yea mine was a Pulse order. I haven't looked in any Walmarts around here cuz usually they're just barren. Burnout also showed up and I got Menasor shipping soon which kind of surprised me.

One of the accessories in Red Cog slots into the big socket in the small of ER Arcee/Elita's back to convert it to 5mm so she can weaponizing like in the Netflix show.

Bizarrely Red Cog is cheaper in the UK than the US. He’s £24 from InDemand Toys, which is ~$28, as opposed to $32+tax from Target.
