I wouldn't mind a police van but bluntly now we have the SS86 mold let's never use that Earthrise tooling ever again.

Sometimes being a plot device is fine.

Yep. They're also just quite small pictures in the catalogue, so they look bad so they're blown up a lot.

This is a franchise with more characters than you could ever, ever possibly use to be honest.

Hopefully we get decent pictures tomorrow then.

Woof, Soundwave looks bad without his chrome. And other parts of it have silver plastic that is painted with shiny paint which are supposed to be the same colour - look at Ravage's missiles. If there was a genuine push for accuracy you'd use the same paint. Instead it just looks like costcutting.

It transforms into two pieces if you look at it funny.

https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/takara-beast-wars-again-show-accurate-repaint-vs-sets.1244437/page-108#post-21734832 There's going to be a Premium Finish three pack with Earthrise Megatron, Siege Shockwave and Earthrise/NF Soundwave, along with the SS86 throne. Dammit, I want that. If...

Xaaron and Flame are top of the list.

Imhotech is a great effort.

I like it, but every Collaborative figure has gone on major 50%+ or often 75% discount at this point so there's no way I'm paying full price for it.

The next Crossover figure is Siege Impactor with a retooled head/chest/hands and a new weapon/electric coil thing as Universal Monsters Frankentron. (Frankentron's monster, surely? - ed) I'm not sure the store that sent it is supposed to have put it up yet so won't drop them in it too much but...

Not sure I'm in the market for a £400 analogue watch but that's surprisingly not that hideous for a themed watch.

Interesting that it's even on the table though. I wish they'd do a Grand Max reissue, as I very much regret missing him when stores couldn't give him away. Not sure it's very likely though. I'm still very surprised there's not being a Metroplex reissue but I wonder if there are tooling...

There's going to be. I think he even said there would be a volume 5 that would more be a standalone "stuff that didn't really fit anywhere else" at some point. I'm really interested in this book. It'll be especially interesting because this scene really was the genesis of some more mainstream...

Yeah, Frenzy has already been and sold out in the UK. I missed it and have to hope there's a restock but I know plenty of people who have him sat on their shelves.

UK retailers are starting to ship Trashmaster out tomorrow, so we will probably have decent reviews of him over the weekend.

I think we might see a redone Titan G1 Metroplex before we see Grandus. There have been some whisperings that Tidal Wave might be a Commander rather than a Titan so he can combine with Megatron. Leader Octane. I guess we'll get more core cassettes. I think we might finally get Omnibots, and...

Would we? I mean you could literally just say the volcano errupted in a different way because of all the lava flows changes from gunfire/taking a shuttle, so subsequently the Autobots were able to defeat Megatron in short order after waking up (heck, maybe the Ark never even revived Megatron)...

A bit, but the main issue is that the budget skyrocketed due to Covid and it was simply so expensive to make in the end that it needed to be a monster hit to even break even, which it wasn't.
