Will the upcoming MP bumblebee be the classic vw? If so will it only be available in Japan like the lambo molds? If its Japan only it doesn't bother me, I've bought all the other drat imported MPs.

FansProject Down Force arrived today. He's a badass little yellow race car. I really want to get this Menasor finished up.

What issues has TFSource had in the past? I was tempted to get in on that Sideswipe, but haven't decided ... if they are a lovely place to buy from I'll just live without it.

I've never had a problem with them. I use Paypal only, and PayPal isn't charged in advance, only when the item comes into stock. I use them for 98% of my transforming robot toy purchases.

Keep an eye out at your local Targets. Found Sandstorm there today, and boy is he bad-rear end. I think I like Sandstorm more than I do Springer. Orange, yellow and black, plus huge buggy wheels is a plus in my book.

I always pay for the Takara imports because seriously gently caress TRU. I'd hate to miss out on a badass toy because they can't get poo poo right.

Which one do you like the best? Feel free to make a video about which one is your favorite and why so that I can watch it on youtube.

I have the PRiD version (the upscaled cyberverse) and love/hate it so I want to get another, much better Ultra Magnus.

I like the Platinum one best for it's size and color.

Can you post a picture of the back of Platinum Magnus in truck mode without the hammer? The kibble on the Optimus version of the mold was a dealbreaker for me, I'm curious if the Magnus remold disguises it any better.

Here's a brit doing a video review thingy

Today's gets:

IDW Bumblebee - sucks. Don't buy this thing.
IDW Megatron - Okay, not completely poo poo. Should have been a voyager.
Orion Pax - Nice little truck. Good bot mode. Not just another Optimus.
Trailcutter - Good figure. I like both modes. Could have been bigger, would have made a good casemate with Megatron.
BH Fishy Megatron - Brings me back to beast wars. It's great. Good colors, decent remold.
Beast FIre Predaking. Simple transformation, but huge wingspan. Looks good with the other dragons.

Tomorrow Metroplex should arrive from BBTS.

It's smaller than a binaltech/alternator. It is in scale with recent MP's like MP10 Optimus, Soundwave and Sideswipe/Red Alert.



As far as feel goes, the MPs (aside from megatron) all feel solid to me. I can't compare it to a binaltech's feel, I only have the alternator versions.

Those are neat. I wasn't even aware that was a thing, BBTS hasn't ever screwed me over so I'm not in the habit of shopping around.

I guess I should be. The default cannons are nice. It's really a well-made toy. My inner 4 year old is quiet, for now.

Do Smokescreen and Bluestreak have similar extra shoulder cannons as bonuses from any place? I remember Smokescreen's shoulder cannons being pretty hefty in the cartoon.

Smokescreen has different launchers all together in just the standard release.

This is what the vehicle mode looks like on a 60 dollar toy. For $18, I'm pleased to have a huge, ugly Optimus. For $60 I'd return this POS.

Does he feel heavy at all or is he mostly hollow?

It's fairly light. Most of the weight feels like it's from the weird backpack gimmick. The lower legs are hollow. The front truck bits hide in there. Transformation is very basic. It feels like one of the upscaled legends figures.

MP Smokescreen is sexy. I love all the Datsun molds, they look great together. The Lambos were great, the Datsuns are great, if they can keep the car quality up Bumblebee and Wheeljack shoud be impressive.

I picked up Armada Starscream and Scoop today at Target. They're both neat little bots, nothing groundbreaking or amazing, but I am glad to have them. I thought about getting the minicon team, but the combined mode didn't do it for me in package.

I had to go to 4 different stores today to find AOE stuff. Walmart, Target and KMart didn't have anything out. TRU was fully stocked and I walked away with the Dinobots. Scorn is the clean winner from the three that I grabbed.

Haven't seen any non-dinobots aside from Hound that I'm interested in. Maybe evasion OP, but I thought he looked skinny and weird.

Picked up the TRU exclusive Strafe evolution 2-pack. AOE Strafe is a pretty sweet figure. I do have a thing for winged 'bots, so I may be biased.

For some reason, the box art has G1 Strafe, the Technobot, on it. Odd.
