Apparently that Starscream just showed up at a store in Chile without ever being officially revealed.

The same Chilean store that unannounced core class Cheetos showed up at! The next Pulse livestream is gonna be scrambling around to show the wave after this one, I�d imagine.

Haslab Fire Convoy ended up doubling its initial target for backers, but it didn't get swamped like Victory Saber or Deathsaurus, unless there's a shitload of orders that are only gonna get entered/counted in the next day

That usually happens for Haslab anyway. A bunch of orders from other sources will get added in when it ends. Day and a half still to go, y�all!

Hello thread

I found an old Transformer in the attic and I'm looking for a good resource to help me evaluate, appreciate and potentially sell it.

It's this one:
https://www.transformerland.com/wiki/toy-info/transformers-g1-europe-other-overlord/8904/

Depending on how complete he is, condition, if he�s got the box still, etc, could be a pretty penny.

Valuation-wise, nothing beats checking eBay�s sold listings. They should give you a decent ballpark of an idea.

Poor Hasbro are just chasing what�s already out in stores now. I was surprised they still did the announcement, they�ve definitely skipped a lot of stuff before that has leaked out/was already available somewhere, concentrating instead on what�s to come.

Considering this wave only has 3 deluxes, 1 voyager, 1 leader, etc, it feels like Hasbro are on the back foot right now.

This years Target 4-pack is Prime Cliffjumper, prototype colors Tarantulas, G1 Squeezeplay, and Cyberverse Tarn

Anyone who doesn�t want their Tarn from this pack sell them to me. I want to troop build Perfect Decepticons.

What an odd mix of characters. Kind of want 3, Tarantulas can get in the sea.

I don't know why this feels anticlimactic, that's exactly what everyone wanted and what we knew we were going to get, a big Swoop.

He is very blandly Swoop. But the other dinobots have also been bland too.

What's the over/under on Hasbro re-releasing core class Snarl in a future wave? Was he in any of the leaked upcoming listings?

I don't believe Core Class is particularly well-represented by recent leak compilation documents.

https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1hLZCNKO34HfKX1YoqiitWrjQHWSTL4xc5sYNLSVpgDE/mobilebasic

There's no indication of any core class package refreshes. However, separately to PRs, Hasbro might reship previous waves.

But they'll re-do core Optimus a dozen times. :argh:

Orlando�s Walmart/Target offerings aren�t great. I assume they get picked clean by tourists/scalpers the moment they open. Probably the least touristy one I know is next to the Florida Mall on Sand Lake.

The NHS is doing some medical research that requires surveys and a blood sample. You get a �10 voucher in return, and you can use that on Amazon amongst others. I had Earthspark Jawbreaker in my basket for a few days so when I got home I hit buy after redeeming the voucher.

I guess I'm at the point where I'm trading blood for toy robots.

It's very Dreamworks/sub-Pixar, but that's fine. I like the hints at a darker story as the trailer progresses. Most of the trailer appears to be from the first third/half of the movie, the fun and games section. At a guess, end of Act 1, they get their T-Cogs. Act 2, introduce the Quintessons, etc.

To take a quick potshot at the fandom, I'm so fed up of crumbly old school fans insisting OP should be Peter Cullen all the time. The man is 82!

It's just like the Earthrise roads and ramps but a little more stiff, you just have to have a little courage and be careful with it when pulling it apart at the joint. If you look really closely at the joints, there's kind of a little tiny channel for the direction that it wants to pull apart, so that may help a bit. Also I think it's probably better if you grip from nearer the joint so you don't flex the whole piece?

Or you can leave it straight and join up with like Airwave and Ironworks for a lil' road network.

Thanks! I took a good look in the light to see what you meant, and they do just slide out. It�s really not immediately obvious.
