Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

Had the Studio Series 86 Ultra Magnus come in yesterday. After doing some fiddling today, have to say I like it. Transformation has a good bit of influence from the Masterpiece version, which I reckon is a good thing. Didn't notice any real flaws in the transformation or posability so far. Only thin...

Re: Latest DVD Purchases

Ah, yeah. That's a good bit different/smaller scale than I was thinking.

Re: Latest DVD Purchases

If not just finding elsewhere will probably be going with the option of ripping ISOs and playing them from main PC rather than what I'd hoped to do with a laptop and stream directly from the optical device via a tablet... which does work and I've proven with some TV episode discs (so probably ones ...

Re: James Roberts project news

I'd been mildly wondering what JimBob had been up to lately.
Also didn't know about those notebooks. Might have to get an order in, depending on pricing.

Thanks for the heads up

Re: Image Comics gets Hasbro licences including Transformers

I skimmed the first issue of that Void Rivals series The Transformers involvement that I saw was quite minimal. Character stumbles across Jetfire, who was crashed on a moon or something and offline, inadvertently wakes him up, Jetfire transforms and flies off into space. Nothing of substance really,...

Also they're doing some Transformers themed cards for Magic: The Gathering, which is nice for fans of both, like myself. Guess it's a thing for them to do since the actual Transformers TCG crapped out

Re: Grumpy old men: armchair brand management

So I cracked open a Legacy Motormaster today and I was surprised by how much dead space there was in the box. Something like half to two thirds of box is empty. I get why, even though the mass and complexity calls for Commander class, if they made the box only as large as necessary, people would bal...

Re: Grumpy old men: armchair brand management

I wonder if the lack of TFs at discounters is an artifact of the pandemic, or a conscious decision on Hasbro's part. I think part of the apparent lack is that word spreads fast among interested parties and they sell through quickly. I remember when Earthrise Optimus was reported as showing up at a ...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

In theory, we're the target audience. But we still have a sense of whether or not something is good/bad value. So how many of the things are actually selling? To make a rough and not-at-all grounded comparison, the Victory Saber crowdfunded set hit about 2.5x its needed backers, whereas the Star Wa...

Because I'm a goddamn idiot and did a stupid thing, my latest acquisition is... Haslab Unicron Him big. Him very large. Very cool though. Haven't gotten to putting it properly into robot mode, due to time and space constraints. Fiddled with it yesterday enough to confirm everything was fine. Only is...

Re: Human being roll call

That's exactly what a bot would say. By the way, isn't it weird that a message board about Transformers is probably half populated by bots? They're taking over . The robot uprising has begun! Eh, we're probably fine. As long as they remembered to comment out "Become Skynet" when the bots ...

Finally got Earthrise Scorponok, which completes my Titan Class Cityformers collection. Here's all 4 with the bonus deluxe class extra bots they put out in the WFC line. I was going to get a photo of the 3rd modes but Sades was doing the photo taking and it was getting increasingly difficult to kee...

Middle ground, as far as I've seen. They charge at the end of the campaign (or when they've reached the required number of backers, the thing is unclear).

Re: OFFICIAL TRANSFORMERS TOYS NEWS

I would imagine the online stores would go through different channels for this? I seem to recall their orders all got added into the count en masse at the end of Unicron's campaign. Glad I'm not the only one who remembers this. Thought I was having one of those Mandela things. So I ordered one of t...

Kingdom Rodimus Somewhat unexpectedly found this in the wild today and being the Hot Rod/Rodimus mark that I am, I had to get it. Very immediate reaction is that it's not as good as the previous two Commander class figures, since so much of the size is taken up by the flaming box. But that's only t...

Re: [The video game thread]

Been playing through Control again, because someone I occasionally watch was streaming it and because I never got around to the DLC when they came out. I need to clean up a few trophies for the Foundation DLC and then I'm going to start the Alan Wake DLC.

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

Kingdom Galvatron Only thing I'm not massively fond of are the guns that look like the spaceship from the film. I'd rather have had the blaster, or nothing, really because it's not like Galvatron needs a gun with that massive cannon on his arm. I'm not sold on the ship guns myself. They're kind of ...
