I completely forgot about the movie "We're Back!" but for whatever god drat reason I immediately recognized the poses of the dinobots as from the cover of that There’s a whole tradition of cheaper sci-fi shows just painting up Nerf guns to make weaponry.

One of the BSG prop guys used to post on SA, he used all sorts of NERF parts to build stuff. I gave in and preordered the Quietus reissue. Fuckin Fans Toys.

Oh yeah, sold out FT stuff skyrockets in price so drat fast it's nuts. I figure they're gonna re-release Sovereign again by years end with a more film accurate paint. But probably never the Insecticons because too many people want those.

I just paid the late tax on a Sovereign. Please no. i mean sure okay more people should have the nice thing The Insecticons are super ridiculous. The lowest I’ve seen them was $600 for the set on a FB group. I just did the $100 MMC ones with some Toyhax labels; I can live with this compromise. Siege is pretty cool guys:

I also did th MMC Insecticons and they're pretty excellent once labeled. I've been knocking out MP bots left and right, hoping to complete the S1-3 Autobots by the end of the year.

For MP, I’m going through S1&2 and stopping at the movie (don’t look at my UT Provider). I don’t want to deal with the citybots or Sky Lynx and a few others. Okay also God Ginrai jeez

City bots will probably never get satisfying MPs so I will survive with the Hasbro ones as stand ins. They live on the upper shelf anyways. And I love Victory and Masterforce too much to not get as many MPs of them as I can. Edit: Early arrival, didn't expect this til Thursday!

My FP Kickback broke the first time I transformed it. And not in the fragile chrome clips that everyone else's broke on, which I was being extra-careful of, but in the thin plastic part that slides the arm into the back. I was able to super glue it back together and thankfully the break's hidden in both modes, but I know it's there. I'll always know.

Looks like my Ectotron preorder thru Pulse is back on. They got back to me and said it was canceled in error, so they were reserving one for like a week. They sent a invoice in the email and all I had to do was re-enter my payment info.

I've seen a lot of people say they're going to use Siege Jetfire as an MP stand in and it just doesn't compare.  It's a great figure but it's not MP.

Rhyno posted:I've seen a lot of people say they're going to use Siege Jetfire as an MP stand in and it just doesn't compare.  Seriously though, I got my Pulse shipment yesterday, and while Jet/Skyfire looks awesome in robot mode, his plane mode's kind of incoherent. Lots of little gaps and spaces that could really have used some fold-out panels to bring the whole thing together. But they were clearly going for robot toon accuracy, so oh well. Also I did inadvertently preorder Springer twice, so if anyone wants one for MSRP ($30) + shipping let me know. Dawgstar posted:if folks are interested, Big Bad Toy Store has Warbotron for $170 USD.

Warbo Bruticus is another example of too many goddamn greebles. Even the KO doesnt really look all that good anymore. You can get a full Zeta set for $300 on a good day and it's a far better Bruticus in every way.

With some weathering he could kind of fit in with Siege. But he's no MP candidate the way Zeta is.

I’m keeping Warbotron for the same reason I’m keeping the rest of my outdated 3P combiners—I ain’t got no room for those gigantic MP scale dudes, even if they’re cool as gently caress. All I need is a Defensor and a Monstructor. Are there even Monstructors around?
