HTS just shipped Leader (G1) Megatron, but my order of the Wave 2 Deluxes (which I placed on the 10th, same time as Motormaster who's already arrived) still hasn't shipped, despite Megatron having an estimated date of April 20, but the Deluxes having an estimate of today.

The anxiety!

If Victorion could have a new mold for a torso instead of a repaint, it should have been a voyager Helicopter so we could get the chopper singularity.

I have unfortunately only seen Combiner Wars things in-person five times. I hope the Seattle-North area gets caught up soon, I went into a Toys R Us that had their AoE TFs one-per-peg for over half of an aisle.

Hasn't it been weeks since the dock worker strikes ended?

His helmet grip can hold onto it if you don't mind it just hanging out on his backpack.

What you want is a Quantron. Have you seen a Quantron? It's Quantronerirific.

But seriously, same engineer as M3.

I can hear you
You can put the big blade in the tiny hilt and he holds that so the blade is the right way round. The big hilt gives him the paddle and he also holds the shield like a doof so I think big handle is for two hands and looking bad otherwise.

Also yeah no real place for tiny hilt to go when not in use.

Edit: this is about Starsaber

Same, except my deluxes have an expected ship date of 4/27. At least it's a good sign that HTS is still shipping early, even if it's out of order.

Got Cybertron Prime, thanks Catch22! If you've still got the other stuff and want to just get rid of it all at once, I've been toying with the idea of trying my hand at kitbashing using some junkers, and they'd provide ample supply since some of them appear to be busted. Let me know via our email correspondence if you're interested. :)

I'll probably rock down to Orbital this afternoon and see what they've got in and let you know. Which TRU's you going to? Brent Cross or Queensway are the only two I know in London and both of them are shite. More than likely pay a £2-3 premium over kapow at Orbital though, bar the P&P on them.

Orbital had MM and CW wave 2 in a couple of weeks ago. None left when I went in on Thursday, though they did have a couple of MP Star Sabres.

After more review watching and feedback reading I've decided that MP Star Saber is a sweet rear end toy but I don't want to own him. If we get a generations IDW inspired voyager I'll be all over that poo poo however.

I really want the PE hand-and-foot sets for both (well, all) of the combiners as well as at least the Menasor torso upgrade but 100bux for those three items feels a bit pricy to me :smith:

I'm interested in the hand and foot kits for the combiners, but those torso kits really turn me off. Too bulky in a bad way, kinda lackluster design, and man that Superion one looks like he's wearing diaper. I wouldn't mind a replacement head I could just swap out on him though. I'm worried about those horns deteriorating.

I feel like the hands and feet would be enough for me. Further feedback and pictures might convince me to go for the torso upgrades too, maybe. Still I'd rather save the money for Magnus and the protectobots I think.

Then again I'm still considering that overpriced SXS Blitzwing kit so I'm clearly not thinking this well enough.

I'm not super-sold on the Bruticus torso either, and I've got exactly zero real interest in Superion's torso (though I'd not mind a new head for him, with better antenna and up/down neck movement) but those feet in particular seem like necessities to me.
