WendigoJohnson posted:Is there any difference between Platinum Grimlock and regular Voyager grimlock? I wanna get the platinum set for the Bruticus that looks exactly like the SDCC one, I'm just curious if there's any change in grimlock at all because I've yet to find a Voyager. Its got a new paint job. Looks like it might be the Takara paint job.

WendigoJohnson posted:It makes me wonder if the loose ones of Comic Con metroplex would be easily faked. The labels can be reproduced with the chrome finish(reprolabels has done similar styles of decals), the second gun can be acquired, and you can either use the Takara Metroplex or just apply the chrome paint to the face and thighs. You'd have to dismantle him to chrome his thighs, so that might not be so simple.

Everything tabs together right, the dune buggy mode with MEGA HUGE FUCKOFF WHEELS rules, I really like him all around. Agreed. I still haven't figured out how to get his drat gun to attach when he's in VTOL mode either.

Xenomrph posted:Could someone fill me in on this whole Harmony Gold thing? As far as I know the story Harmony Gold is a real estate/television production company that is license squatting on the Macross/Robotech line in the US. Anybody that makes/references/draws/dreams about Valkyries gets a law suit thrown at them by Harmony Gold. Harmony Gold also refuses to let any of the Bandai/Yamato figures/vehicles get US releases because they own the rights over here. They went after Hasbro for copyright infringement over the G.I. Joe/Transformers crossover set because Jetfire was made using a Valkyrie in the 80's.

BXCX posted:Has anyone else been doing the brick and mortar Soundwave hunt? I've been at it for two weeks and the word from the store today was that they were not going to get it in store at all based on the website saying "not sold in stores" in the blue box with pricing. It seemed more like a "I'm not in the mood to look up if it came in the truck" response than an actual rule, but I wanted to see if anyone else was running into this. Yeah thats just lazy bullshit. Ask them to check their manifest before the truck arrives, they can look for the numbers. They can even check their DC inventory to see if its even gotten any.

WendigoJohnson posted:No, I said make the headmaster legends also turn into a regular robot and a vehicle as well as a head. Those legends sized target masters are pretty advanced for something that small, so there's no reason a legends figure can't be a triple changer since head mode is fairly simple to pull off. Both the reviews of Trailcutter's I saw today from people I know didn't mention those issues at all, so maybe Keldroc just got a Turdcutter and its not a line wide issue.

Captain Magic posted:Huh. For whatever reason I didn't know Hoist was just a Trailcutter remold/paint.

Classics Hoist finally sat long enough on my desk that I had to open it and see what all the comments were about, and I love this little guy. Truck doesn't peg together great, but at least he doesn't feel hollow like a lot of the other releases lately (looking at you Combaticons) but my real gripe is with that comic. Do all the Spotlights end as abruptly and shittily?

Spiderdrake posted:Not really sure what was bad about that ending, but no most of the more recent ones are a bit more punchy shooty less introspective. Maybe its just that I don't know what happened next but with the book just ending with Hoist just sitting down and realizing he was all alone and that was his fear and no further resolution, it just seemed like an abrupt ending. However liking Hoist led me to opening Trailbreaker too, and I really liked his book and his figure as well. Nominating this mold for 2013 Deluxe of the Year.

As for the price, all five together are $360, which is only $5 more than Maketoys Giant, a comparably sized combiner with comparable engineering. Seems about right to me. Except Giant is 6 figures. I bought Intimidator and Yellow Giant so I give zero shits but I can see the point of others.

What fascinates me about this is that the figure has had prices all over the map. $79.99, $109.99, $129.99, all for the same deco. I wonder what the production cost on this really was. However I will buy another at this price as I have the SDCC version.

So I finally broke down and ordered something from TFSource, wanted the exclusive FP not-Insecticon set before it vanished completely. Gets shipped out on Monday, supposed to be here on Friday, so I check the tracking. Turns out they sent it to VA instead of WA. So well done TFSource I guess? Now I have to wait till Monday for them to realize their mistake.

vkeios posted:Is the zipcode still right? If so, you should get the package anyways, since postal carriers sort by zipcode. Hell, I had the same situation before and someone at USPS just used a sharpie to fix the incorrect address. Looks like that must have happened, because it jumped from VA to IL last night, so maybe its on its way here. Or if it was a USPS error, still seems like a hell of a sorting error to go from MN to VA, you'd think there'd be a better hub than shipping it in the completely wrong direction.

Am I alone in hoping they do an entire line of Metroplex repaints as the other Titans? I keep seeing that panel where all the Titans are leaving Cybertron with Metrotitan in the front and I will seriously buy every recolor they make. I think I'm sick.
