So here's a thread for anyone who wants to buy something but isn't sure exactly what.
Me? I got a $100 Amazon gift card for my birthday and I want to get something with it, but can't decide what. I'm willing to go maybe $30/40 over what I've got on the card but I can't even decide if I should...
The Covenant book is the contents of the Binder written in a narrative form ostensibly by Alpha Trion as a History of the Transformers specifically For Humans. And (maybe to give them some wiggle room) IIRC Alpha Trion says somewhere at the beginning that he is playing loose and easy with the...
My wife laughed out loud at the tone in my voice when I sighed "Well, I hope they make it good."
I love Spaceballs. I remember being a kid and reading about it with interest in an issue of Starlog at the public library before it came out. It was probably my first Mel Brooks film.
I'm pretty...
My guesses:
Vector - Repaint
Leige - G2 Gut to some sort of bulbous green Cybertronian Taku Tanku like tank.
Quintus - Quintesson ish tall thin robot to either a Quintesson or a Quintesson spiral starship.
Amalgamous - Either a Triple-changer with slightly simple/similar Cybertronian vehicle...
That's what I want as well, my problem is that I don't think either IS it.
An actual 1986 Arcee release would have had the head that's on the prototype, a color scheme that's closer to the movie than the Prototype but maybe 25% more "wrong" than the Anime version, and sported maybe a third...
I was looking at my Preorders guys and I just can't keep a Preorder for both versions of Missing Link Arcee. I can probably swing $100 for her, but not two.
The problem: I can absolutely not decide which version to drop.
Prototype Version:
Pros -Looks more "authentically 1986" to me. This...
So I was already thinking remold/repaint potential for these guys because this group in particular is very interesting on that front to me. Excluding Flatline (who already is one) this is what I got:
Alpha Trion - He's a hard one actually for me. I mean the easy answer is Old Alpha Trion but...
Thoughts:
Alpha Trion: I should have guessed it'd be the A-3 style design. It's not my favorite look for him but it's neat to go with the Aerialbots and we already got his baseline look. He's a maybe for me, but I'd like to.
Micronus: AMAZING. Love the creativity. Love the Pretender-y shell...
I don't think there are any Transformers ones I would buy. I mean I like the idea of Splendid Convoy or Red Geist existing but I doubt I could afford to bite on either.
The only Haslab object I'd like to see reissued honestly is for Joe: Night Force Crazy Legs released as normal Crazy Legs in...
So my amazon Heatwave order just moved from end of June to Tuesday (he's in stock to ship now.)
And my Silverbolt/Superion preorder moved from November to July 15th.
Both of which I thiiink should be fine, financially speaking though it gives me huge agita when preorders make sudden jumps...
Honestly I'm just thrilled to have any form of official Bumper. The new head is enough for me and the yellow is supposed to be the same as BBs.
-ZacWilliam, now do the Throttlebots, Sedan, Glyph, Tap Out, Stinger and Wasp
As I expected:
Neutral, NEED, NEED, Don't particularly want.
I've bought worse. Now let me order it. :)
-ZacWilliam, nothing wrong with the Ani-Nemi I just havnt been collecting those figures. Still He'll be interesting/new to fiddle with in that case...
Yeah, I need a first ever official Bumper toy and a Horrible to finish off the 88 Con Headmasters.
The other two are collateral damage to my wallet.
-ZacWilliam, now PLEASE 88 Autobot Headmasters and Omnibots Hasbro.
Actually the last spot of Earthspark to air ties up the story pretty well. There's the dangling thread of the Decepticons escaping to Cybertron but the main Quintesson plot of the season is tied up in the last episodes to air pretty climactically.
They are honestly some of the better episodes...
Hey my Carnivac set finally shipped, half way through the day it was supposed to be delivered. So now it'll be here tomorrow.
-ZacWilliam, good enough. I can wait a day.
He thinks Jenny dies at the end of that original episode. Stunningly they've never brought her back.
What was weird to me is Susan not being brought up at all given her being explained as his granddaughter last season and actual appearances in the eps leading up to this.
Thought we'd get an...
86 Megs looks as good as anyone should ever expect a retail toy that turns from that design to that alt mode to possibly look.
It's perfectly great in both modes.
Tiny nitpicks are tiny nitpicks, and honestly this thing is better than it has any right to be as a physical object.
I've...
