Still haven't gotten the "check your address" email. :(

Minerva might finally be showing up online. Listing showed up, but out of stock at the moment. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/hasbro-generations-legacy-deluxe-class-autobot-minerva-action-figure/ID=300431835-product

That's basically every character in TF fiction who is created onscreen: they almost always pop out with preexisting character traits. Nightshade was also nervous under pressure compared to their siblings.

I was shocked when I suggested they make a Transformers hero shooter (ala Overwatch) and it turned out there was one released overeas that never came out in the west, and that it apparently was a little too much like Overwatch. Honestly I just want a good TF game again.

Hmm.. I haven't gotten the "be sure your shipping address is correct" e-mail yet.

Re: Bumblebee

I'm guessing they added the Takara preorders as it's jumped to over 8850 backers now, over half-way to the final stretch goal and less than 2150 away from being funded.

Is this the first time we've gotten a scientific species designation for Transformers? (Cybertronus Cybertronii)

We're only 1/3rd of the way through the campaign, so we'll see how it goes.

I think it might just be that the people who grew-up with Season 3 made it past their twenties and started having kids of their own. I imagine Daniel is far less annoying once you've had to deal with your own screaming toddler.

Oh, huh, I guess that's my american privilege shining through there. In other news, I got my Crasher in. Cool. Cool cool cool.

...what? I've never been charged by Fedex outside of the shipping cost... What on earth would they even charge you for?

Well, BBTS has a sale on them today for $65 bucks. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/150271

It's still wild that Skywarp and Thundercracker were a store exclusive.

After seeing what happened with Unicron when I didn't back that, I'm just going to auto-back all TF haslabs from now on. -Best case scenario is I get a rad toy I like. -Second best scenario is I don't want it, but it goes up in value on the secondary market and I can make a tidy profit...

Right now I have shelves for my G1 bots and Cons (Really pre-Beast Wars, so EuroG1, JapanG1 and G2 go here as well) and then a shelf for Neo-G1 characters as well as characters that originate from other continuities. Minerva is going squarely on the G1 shelf.

A "correct" Lio Kaiser would need the Breastforce guys too. Six deluxes ($150) and six micromasters ($72 solo, or $36 in double packs) would already be hitting Haslab costs, and those would have to deal with all of the cost cutting compromises we see (hollowness, moldsharing, less paint apps)...

The ship sailed awhile ago. Hasbro got made well aware with how much some fans are wiling to pay after seeing them paying a premium for unlicensed toys, or weathering the ridiculous doubling of price on Masterpiece toys, or how they will spend will basically double the price of a figure by...

Wasn't she on the back of the deluxe boxes?

Thought: Earthspark Elita-1 and Legacy Evolution Strongarm will share tooling.
