If that turns out to be real I desperately hope it's a general release and not a Haslab thing; I've been dreaming about an Ark playset since Beast Wars but that would definitely place it out of my price range. I have nowhere to put it but I will hang it from the ceiling if I have to.
That's the big question now: Robit or playset? I'm down either way.


I'm impressed with how quickly they were able to get not-Brawl out after not-Blast-Off. Mine's on the way, soon Bruticus will be able to stand up. Now the problem is trying to make room for him on my Masterpiece Decepticon shelf.

Edit: AAAAAAHHHHH

I've gotten a couple friends into MTMTE in the last month or so, and they all have the same question: Why is there no decent Rung figure available from anyone? The little Targetmaster guy is cute and all but it's bizarre to me that MMC or someone hasn't at least attempted a full size figure of him.

If it's a playset I honestly have nowhere to put it. It would be the first Titan Class I'd have to pass on.

Honestly if not for the paint job, I'd say it's a pretty good replacement for the Masterpiece. It looks worse but acceptably so considering the difference of 110 dollars minimum. Even the paint job is decent, just you know Takara are waiting to give it purple highlights

Takara has taken to just releasing Hasbro's product outside of special releases, Burk. BA is gonna be general retail, so I doubt they'll change her at all.

Gonna need a leak of the SS Dinobots pronto. Well, it doesn't really matter, I'm not paying $200 for another of those hot messes regardless.

In better news the Allicon showed up today and it is just ridiculous the number of "how does this exist" figures Earthrise is tossing out there on a regular basis.

They’re stolen, and then sold on. Him and primevsprime are basically getting them 3rd hand.

the full red face for slag is g1 cartoon only i think, i know cause i wanted to set up my gigapower dinobots to be cartoon colours (because thats where i know the dinobots from) and the full red face on slag looked so weird in toy form i ended up switching him to red helmet and silver face like idw slag.

the full red face just looks like an animation error that stuck around.

i'm really wishing i had preordered probus so i'd have him by now, but i was a dumbass and assumed there'd be a longer gap to preorder him in after volatus. I really like volatus, even though he was the one I was most mixed on for the pre-release images. him and incursus have great fun transformations compared to fraudo and impetus, who are a little more complex and have some very awkward spots in their transformations.

i think blast-off has always had one of the coolest colour schemes on the combaticons, the idea of a space shuttle in weird dark military camo is cool. it doesn't really make sense, but it's cool.

the mmc combaticons are maybe my favourite non-fans hobby toys for striking a good balance between looks and being comfortable to actually transform and fiddle with. Gewalt is up there too.

Hey collectors, if you have been on eBay for a long time, check your eBay messages. You might have received a $25 coupon code for any transaction of $25.01 or more.

There is so much stuff I want coming out in the next few months, but I'm having a hell of a time figuring out what to get in the $25 - $30 range right now, to make it worthwhile to take advantage of the coupon.

Thanks for the heads up! My coupon was going to expire on Thursday. I had no idea!

So it seems Diaclone is doing their own take on "Battle Convoy" that both definitely has some inspiration visually from the original(especially in the robot mode), while also being it's own thing

Lol, wild! I guess that's a neat way of addressing the elephant in the room, but at the same time, I bet that's just going to cause demand for more nu-diaclone interpretations of the popular transformers.

Especially the tyrannosaurus one.

Wow, that's cool. I'm not really into the Diaclone aesthetic but that's probably a buy. Is the cab going to transform the Transformers way or do the Diaclones transform in the take-apart-and-reassemble style?

Also, ShatGlass two-pack. I never liked the Shattered Glass stuff, evil mirror universe stuff just feels lazy, but I'm totally repurposing Pastel Ratchet as some random Decpticon.

Both? It depends on the toy. Some of them are several vehicles that combine into one big robot. I'm guessing this is going to follow the Trivers subseries style judging by its looks. The Trivers are formed from 3 separate components (Cockpit/head, rest of upper body, lower body) which can be combined in various ways but if you combine all 3 they can transform from machine mode to mech mode to robot mode without having to be taken apart.

I feel like this statement has been made and then subsequently followed a year later by "gently caress I wish I hadn't sold my animated stuff what was I thinking" every single time someone does it
