Would you like us to notify your family after you've bought it?

They'll figure it out when it arrives...

 

[wonko the sane?]

So... as a knock on effect to getting the new devy... I am putting up some of my recovered shelves in a new configuration (one which is mocking me for not thinking of it in the first place. Oy.) and... Oh no. I suddenly have room for at least 1 more titan...

Edit: everyone else was out of the house, and the cats weren't hanging around, so I got to work. Everything empty is the new shelving.

They'll figure it out when it arrives...

Hehe, "figure".

 

[wonko the sane?]

*11.44 AM: shipping notification from BBTS* Yay! Scrapper and scavenger shipped! (had to split the order, the other 2/3rds are coming from my canadian source, but I did enjoy the new flat shipping rate to canada.).

*2.20 PM: Shipping notification from toysnowsman. I did not open it.* YAY! The rest of devy is shipped!

*2.55 PM: ANOTHER shipping notification from toysnowman, I did open this one.* Wait... this is devastator... So... MY PREORDERS HAVE SHIPPED! So an unprecedented (and I while it's an appropriate term, I'm coming to hate that word.) TWELVE boxes of transformers will be sitting around waiting to be opened.

It's been a good day.

Edit: did the math wrong, it's 11 boxes. Still unprecedented.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Boneshaker is awesome. No notes.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Devy-stator has finished arriving!

Now the long wait over weeks to slowly open them!

-Leader Astrotrain
-Voyager Shockwave
-Deluxe Kranix
-Deluxe Wheeljack
-Deluxe Sunstreaker
-Voyager Skywarp

I cant tell, but is that new mold Sunstreaker and Wheeljack or a repaints of Earthrise?

Astrotrain looks good

Skywarp is Skywarp

Kranix is, unique

Shockwave is a must buy.

 

[Donocropolis]

That Kranix! That's one of my "never going to happen in a million years" wants. Known about him for a while, but still exciting to finally see it.

 

[Donocropolis]

Does Astrotrain's train mode have a working wheel linkage system? Kind of looks like it does.

 

[Darth_Prime]

It does look like it. Wonder if we are getting the smoke with it too? I think his chest plates are supposed to be flipped down.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Also the Matrix

Looks good, but I'm guessing most people will balk at the $125 pricetag.

 

[Superomegaprime]

Their repaints of the Earthrise figures

Kranix & Astrotrain are the only need moulds, Kranix is the better of the two given that he never actually transformed in the movie, it let the desginers do whatever they wanted with him for a alt mode, Astrotrain, he looks like a big mess with a lot of kibble hanging off his robot mode, unless he is mistransformed.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Shockwave is just the Siege toy without the splatter paint and extra weapon parts, plus a gun of himself? Meh, if I didn't already have it, I'd be more interested, but it's not enough of an improvement to double dip.

Astrotrain is....fugly. I hope that's some kind of terrible mistransformation, but as is, ew.

Skywarp is a maybe on sale. I was pretty impressed with Thundercracker, but with prices climbing......

Kranix is neat, something I never would've expected to happen, but I have no desire to own it. Another maybe on sale.

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

I think Astrotrain is mistransformed in that picture. I hope Shockwave is bigger now. Although I want Kranix, I would be fine without him transforming.

Already got Earthrise Skywarp and the other two are rereleased lame recolours (with STILL no spoiler on Sunstreaker), so are irrelevant to me.

Dang, that's a beautiful Matrix. I have that Halloween costume accessory one that came out a couple of years ago as well as the TF:One Matrix that I found cheap at Ross. As much as this one is very much an improvement on those, I don't know that I $125 need a third Matrix.

 

[The Predaking]

Kranix and Astrotrain are must gets for me.

 

[Undead Scottsman]

Their repaints of the Earthrise figures

Kranix & Astrotrain are the only need moulds, Kranix is the better of the two given that he never actually transformed in the movie, it let the desginers do whatever they wanted with him for a alt mode,

Kranix's altmode is actually from the comics.

 

[Princess Viola]

oof that astrotrain

well at least the train part (the only part that matters dont @ me) looks fine

 

[Sabrblade]

I cant tell, but is that new mold Sunstreaker and Wheeljack or a repaints of Earthrise?

They look like the same redecos from the five-pack that included Hound.
