I love how much crazy poo poo we're seeing in the main line. It's going to be easy to blow off MPs if they keep this up.

You can get Redwing from places that aren't Target now, too.

Obviously they were sitting on a big pile of Red Wings because only 26 people have a Target credit card.

I bought one on eBay for about $10 over retail because gently caress that Target card poo poo. He's one of the better uses of that mold, in terms of standing out on the shelf.

I was hoping we were getting a new Red Wing in the Earthrise seeker mold. I'm not a big fan of the tetrajet mold, but give me that Earthrise seeker in every color combination possible. Especially Action Master Thundercracker.

They're voyager-class, Slag is only a leader because he comes packed with a Daniel in Exosuit figure.

Figures the larger ranger of voyager-class seems about right for the Dinobots to me, they're big, but they're not gigantic. Like a head taller than Optimus.

This MP-44/KO's knee issues weren't fixed, guys. They weren't fixed at all. I was led to believe that the troublesome bit in there was going to be one piece or diecast or something since it didn't need to be painted... nope, a little bit got snipped off externally, like that's supposed to help any. (It doesn't.)

I'm going to have to do Tman987's fix this weekend when I get some time.

It feels somewhat less annoying to do on a $90 figure than a $550 figure, but I still shouldn't have to do it at all.

Build quality very good otherwise.

Ugh. I just left an Earthrise Prime and Siege (non-netflix) Magnus on the shelf at TRU cause I'm just not into them enough right now to drop the $70 CAD on them

especially with Gewalt and Azalea fresh on my shelves and a big shipment from A3U lined up in the near future, plus a new watch in the next month or so

Also it woulda made grocery shopping difficult cause I was on my bike; I've stuffed things into my jacket before once I run out of onboard storage but I don't like doing it. If the Canadian Tire I was at earlier had had a cargo net I could buy, mighta been a different story.

I’ve read the first two issues, it’s not bad, but it mostly consists of vignettes of various combinations of pony and robot.

He gets asked this all the time and never answers. Judging by the things he buys, he's got serious money to throw around, so he might have some direct China factory pipeline.

He's annoyingly young too, easily early 20s.

So that lower part of Prime's torso that gives him the ab-crunch? Well, the blue part on his butt that catches the tab affixed to the lower part of the torso does its job a little too well, sadly and so people who try to "unlock" that part of articulation end up putting too much stress on the plastic and it snaps Prime in half. To alleviate that, loosen the screw in the blue part in the middle of Prime's butt (I removed the screw completely), and then carefully use a flathead screw to "dig out" the lower white bit of torso articulation. I sanded the little tab at the end a teensy bit, and then left it alone. I then put the screw back in his butt and did a bit of a calibration test (you want to ideally leave a little bit to adjust the screw over time,) until it felt like I wasn't exerting too much to unpeg that lower area. That should be it, and from what I've read seems to be the one absolutely critical flaw of this particular release.

Just in case what I wrote was hard to follow:

Nah, but Arcee and Rarity kick his rear end together. The comic is pretty drat awful with mostly crap art and a very simplistic script. Then again it's aimed at kids and I found it all very amusing. Gonna keep reading it.

Do they reference Mach Kick and Battle Unicorn? I hope Hasbro inexplicably bring one of them back for Kingdom. Or like, Mach is the normal release and BU is the Selects.

Speaking of which, what Select repaint can we expect from Kingdom?
