I don't know if this would help any, but if it is a real ball joint (I don't have Rattrap) you may be able to pop it out and sand it lightly to get rid of the burr.  I had to do that with POTP Jazz because his leg would fall off when moving it.  I sanded off the bump that should not have been there, then added a light coat of nail polish to get rid of any play I introduced in the sanding.  It's working fine now.

 

I got a Botcon Packrat (the Generations Deluxe mold) in a trade a while back, and I was considering selling it with the new beasts coming, but I think at this point I will keep it, if only because I realized (WAY late) that it unofficially pairs with my TFSS Fractyl.

 

Yeah I'm gonna have to give that a try because it is really annoying.

Primal arrived today.  His card was the Ark "Autobots awaken in 1984" one.  Which is the same one I got with Blackarachnia.  Part of me hopes every card I get with a Kingdom toy is this one over and over.

Speaking of BBTS, I went ahead and stuck a Cheetor and a Paleotrex in my Pile of Loot.  I'll cancel them if Pitney Bowes coughs up the ones I ordered from Entertainment Earth within the next month or so.

Update: As of Thursday, supposedly the package has finally moved after taking over a month to travel from California to Georgia (I can only assume it was carried on foot).  I am now "cautiously optimistic" about its eventual arrival.
 
Meanwhile, Voyager wave 2 is processing and so naturally now is when I finally realize that for some reason I ordered a case instead of a set.  Double Dinobot time, I guess!

Update on both of these: They finally arrived today. Paleotrex had a a Dinobot "leads united factions," and Cheetor had--guess what?--another "Autobots awaken in 1984."

Man it's so weird to think a figure looks great but not appreciate his strong chin. I'm looking at you cyclonus.

[Kaon]

Found wave 2 Voyager Dinobot at my local comic shop here in Louisville, Ky.

[Rhinox]

man it's hard not to get annoyed when my local shops aren't stocking anything.  

[Kaon]

Apparently they had Inferno hours before I got there.

Ah whatever, I'm happy just getting Dinobot.

[tec]

Want Inferno and Airrazor Imma gonna look today but my hopes are not high due the storm

Not sure where to put this as it's just rumor for now and it's for 2022 not Kingdom.

Anyway, drunk leaker guy from a few weeks back just dropped info on a new Menasor for next year. Not much info other than

Motormaster is a potential leader class
It's not a return to combiner theme.
Might just be 1 team a year.
Defensor possible the following year.

Apollux, whose early Kingdom and Studio series 86 info was pretty much right on the money confirmed he also heard about this. Though it's in very early development so things might change and that he heard a different size class for Motormaster.

Grains of salt as always. We won't know till at least the fall. Cheers

Edit: Anyone opposed to me compiling the 2022 rumors and making its own thread? Figured I'd ask since it's just rumors right now

Menasor was one of the Combiner Wars teams I never did pick up, so I'd be happy to get another shot at them. It was one of the weaker teams, too, so a redo couldn't hurt.

[Sean Whitmore]

Since my bin full of combiner pieces was stolen, I’m not against rebuying any team. But especially the Stunticons, those toys were weeeeeak.

[Undead Scottsman]

Dammit.  I was using "I missed Combiner Wars" as a reason not to just buy every combiner wars deluxe and voyager since they're all expensive now.  That fact was saving me a lot of money and shelf space.

 

Guess I never thought they'd start remaking them anytime soon.

[Robogeek1973]

I'm all for any and every new combiner they make as I sadly sold off all of the UW sets I had a few years back and regret that now.

[PlutoniumBoss]

I can't recall having been as confused by a figure as I am by Dinobot. Either I wish I liked him but don't, or I like him but wish I didn't, but I can't tell which.

[Blacknife]

Wait, so they are doing combiners that don't combine just to upscale them for their car & individual robot modes?   

 

 

I mean, they could sell Takara Devastator on individual basis, and I'd be here for that.

That's not what he meant. He's saying combining won't be a wave-wide gimmick.

No. They will combine. 1 team a year if it goes forward.

If Kingdom is the end of Titan Class as rumored, I wonder if this will technically replace them, would fit with the idea of 1 team a year.

[Darth_Prime]

Can’t wait to get my hands on Inferno.

Passed on Cheetor in hopes of the darker colored Netflix version.

Still want to find BW Megatron

Dinobots and Airrazor might get picked up. But if I get her then I need Tigertron. Then I’ll want Tigerhawk.

Hoping a BW Silverbolt gets released.

Would also be interested in a Depth Charge.

Torn between being happy at the prospect of a combiner the size of Devastator/Predaking, and being sad about the robot modes being taller than the Autobots who turn into the same kinds of cars.
