Why cookie Rocket posted:If you want to talk about TFs or engage in a conversation about BM that's great but if you want to passive-aggressively bleat about our disagreement(s) about what makes a good TV show, I'm politely asking you to refrain. Awww I was just playin' I didn't mean anything by it. Watched the newest Prime episodes today. Pepper spray is effective against Decepticons optics and some of them also watch Earth horror films.

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. I'd never buy an exclusive figure without it's packaging.

Keldroc posted:I'd be surprised if we didn't see a Metrotitan repaint. And Japan will probably get some weird-rear end urine-colored clear plastic version or something. Japan will get like 10 repaints. We'll probably get a reissue with the decoys and then a year later another reissue with the second gun.

Keldroc posted:The decoys will likely be the thing that separates the SDCC version from all other versions. Hasbro does not reproduce exclusives exactly for mass release, even if the difference is very minor, like the Classics BotCon Seekers' eventual retail releases. So we'll get some crappy little guys that are badly painted then. I expect the main toy to remain unchanged until they release a 10th anniversary edition of it.

No Your Other Left posted:They've been getting an irregular trickle of them into stores here in Texas. One or occasionally two cases every week or so, but since each case only has two the things are literally selling out within five minutes of opening, so they might as well not be there. I just came back from an errand run and my local TRU had 4 this morning. Missed it by an hour.

Captain Invictus posted:I know it's not really related to the TF thread and I'm a bit late to the discussion about it, but I remember a few folks talking/being excited about the Lego Delorean and someone(probably Rhyno) talking smack a couple pages ago, well it turns out the front of the box picture is just the worst possible angle for it since it really doesn't look that terrible at any other angle. For those who don't read the Lego thread, here's a review with a bunch of great pictures. I'm totally going to buy one after reading it. I've seen numerous angles and it still looks like absolute poo poo.

Desfore posted:I just wish Hasbro would bring headmasters/powermasters back. For some reason a tiny guy becoming part of a bigger guy really appeals to me. Same thing with combiner teams. All I can say is, good thing for third-parties... even with their enormous prices. One of the (many) things I hated about Animated was the use of the Headmaster idea. So much potential but no, let's suck more joy out of the franchise.

Keldroc posted:I think it is a matter of competence, because I'm not convinced there's no way to do a one-piece armor trailer that works. It's simply a matter of design, and I don't think they have people willing or able to do that level of design right now, plus they're probably not willing to devote that level of cost to one toy in the subline. Hence, City Commander is it. It couldn't be worse than Armada Prime.

The_Doctor posted:So that was disappointing. I walk into TRU at 10am, wander to the TFs, there's only 2 Acid Storms on the shelf, so I wander to guest services to ask if they have Soundwave and there's 2 behind her on the shelf. I ask for one, expecting them to be reserved, but she just rings me up! Has your mental picture of America been utterly shattered by the ease of which you attained your Soundwave?
