I guess it's just stuff that was supposed to work and probably did work in the test shot and prototype or whatever, then the factory final product just didn't have the right tolerances. Some people's Brawls lock together well enough and others are just a flopfest. It's the kind of stuff that will probably be corrected in a second run, so lucky me for always getting stuff months late. Speaking of late I picked up Groove and Viper the other day. I love how Groove looks as a chestplate on Defensor(I disliked Blackjack on Menasor). Viper is just a delightful lil' guy, I love him. He pegs together way better than my powerglide, whose arms I don't peg into the wings anymore because I feel like they're gonna break his shoulder pegs (I'm paranoid about the smallest stress lines).

My Powerglide pegs together generally fine so I was lucky with his legs, and nothing pops off. His arms however require force to peg into the wings, which led to those tiny stress marks on the shoulders I mentioned. Viper however has zero problems to speak off, his legs are even nicer in jet mode and the buttflap pegs them together with a nice click sound, which isn't as strong on Powerglide. So I'd say he feels way better all around.

I was able to get a Vortex last night while shopping at Target. Will it be relatively easy to pick up the other limbs online for retail-ish soon?

Brutiscale is still the best one. Isn't Tantrum a bit small there though? I guess there's a lot of variance in bull sizes but...

Watching reviews where people bitch about scale sours the joke for me. I want to stab every reviewer who cries Shockwave didn't get a voyager or leader in combiner wars and "well the legend isn't bad but a bloo bloo bloo scale scale scaaaaale". Cutest G1 reference in years and we're supposed to be upset he didn't get a leader when a MP is due in a couple months and he has gotten tons of voyagers over the last four years. The idea of stumpy armed to scale Superion fighting itty babby menasor cheers me up though.

The extra silly part is that Shockwave is awesomely scaled to the older legends classics (and they were desperately lacking in 'cons) so he's actually really awesome even if you don't like him in relation to the current line.

That's right. I actually didn't recall he was supposed to be a water buffalo at all. My memories of G1 are always hella skewed, it's part that I was really young and growing up with the latin dub and comics. Which reminds me, some day I gotta scan and post some of the latin covers for the marvel TF comics, they were... certainly something special. Changing the subject a bit did anyone order a Sunsurge? It looks OK to me on pics but the face is a bit goofy, he has a fake chest (unavoidable probably so I don't mind) and I just can't like the feet. Otherwise seems very decent. Are other badcube releases decent quality wise?

Hey, so Canadian posters, Madhaus over at https://www.facebook.com/madhaus.collectibles/ is running a couple sales on some of his lingering stock. Right now he has MP tracks with coin for $80 Canadian, DX-9 Splinter for $85 CDN and DX-9 Cocomone for $85 CDN.Why cookie Rocket posted:The extra silly part is that Shockwave is awesomely scaled to the older legends classics (and they were desperately lacking in 'cons) so he's actually really awesome even if you don't like him in relation to the current line. Can't we ever just enjoy the awesome we get? On that note I was going through some of the upcoming FP releases and there's post after post of people going "I don't like the LER aesthetics" or "I'm not into FP headmasters". These are all mature lines over a year old, why does someone feel the need to show up and take a tidy little poop in a thread for FP's Snapdragon? I'm not saying these are objective perfect releases or something, but why the need to mouthshit on the eleventh release from FP in the line?

I'll post some pictures and a short review when I get it. The Badcube not-Warpath is apparently pretty good, busy and fiddly, but good.

Not the biggest Beast Wars guy, but that's looking strong, and it's nice they've deviated from the line as established so far. Guess a BW Megatron/Gigatron might be on the cards too? Also, I got post today, and I'm pretty happy with someone right now.! Pictures to follow.

That Evasion Prime "KO" is wizardry. It's in chinese but it's fairly informative (it's by daimchoc, a guy who usually gets a lot of info on new 3p stuff). I just watched it in 1.5 speed and skip ahead when it's just talk. It's unfair to call it a KO at this point honestly.
