Transformers Legacy toyline

[Steadfast]

That would be neat and, since Thundertron is around, it also kinda works. I mean, you can’t have two Captains of the Star Raiders (Seekers) at the same time.

Of all the characters where it kinda makes sense to have different incarnations next to each other, Cannonball is up there.

Every so often the retired ones hold a Cannonball reunion.

In fact, I like the idea that each Cannonball looks a little different from the others. The new crew (if we're going by the implied Princess Bride rules) wouldn't know the difference, and the new look still matches existing descriptions.

Cannonballs meet… at the Canon Ball.

Cannonball is neat. Ferak's a nobody, so I'll pass. Filch's base mold isn't all that good and is fragile. Lockdown doesn't fit very well. I pictured him as more of a sleek, streamlined type of bounty hunter who does his job stylishly and the mold's a bit too clunky-looking for that image

 

[Undead Scottsman]

I've decided this Lockdown is Cyberverse Lockdown, so I'll be getting him so my Clobber has a BFF to hang out with.

Would have preferred animated lockdown, but he really deserves an original mold.

Okay, now I wanna do this too.

IT IS HAPENNING!

[Robogeek1973]

Wow, there's quite a few figures coming up that I'm willing to pay full price for....

Neat!

Quick and dirty size comparison (not my pics).

 

[Gizmoboy]

Sandstorm is certainly more G1 accurate than his Thrilling 30 counterpart. However, it is tough to beat the Thrilling 30 mold. I will probably be sticking with that one instead of this new one. I do like it though.

 

[unluckiness]

At least this one looks like he can stand. I love just about everything about T30 Sandstorm except for his tenuous balance.

This I completely agree with. Better rear extensions on his feet would have made a difference.

I mean, he was built off of Springer, The Greatest Transformers Toy Who Ever Lived and Can Be Anyone at Anytime.

Of course he's tough to beat.

The only reason he never got a Thunderclash repaint is that the greatness would fold in on itself, causing a spatial collapse and dragging out entire planet into a black hole, where it would suffer a quick yet agonizing death from being deprived of its sun.

You don't topple forces like that easily.

But what a way to go.

(Seriously, i wonder if we could revisit T30-era molds for current line redecos or if budgets have dropped too far. Generations Selects or whatever could use an all-Springer base capsule.)

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Ordered Filch. The others I can wait and see. And either get them or not. But I needed Filch.

-ZacWilliam, wanted them to do her for years and never thought it would happen.

 

[Steevy Maximus]

Yeah, the Star Raiders are up for preorder at Walmart and Hasbro Pulse, with Filch being the one I've seen sellout.
Pretty good odds at her being short packed like Cosmo was (though, I can AT LEAST understand it, here). Not shipping until this summer, so I'm being prudent and taking a "wait and see" approach.

No need to tie up money in stuff that I have an even chance of getting easily later on.

 

[Echowarrior]

Well crap. Looks like Filch is going to be an eBay exclusive. Stupid scalpers, ruining the hobby for everyone else...

 

[Undead Scottsman]

I doubt Filch had anything to do with scalpers. No reason they'd go after her more than the others. I'm guessing Filch was shortpacked.

Annoyingly, she was the only thing I truly wanted out of this set and I was thinking of grabbing Lockdown and Cannonball while I was there. Guess I won't bother grabbing anything now.

Livestream

 

[Donocropolis]

Been a crazy day here, so I completely forgot about the Stream today. Managed to get on Walmart in time to order Lockout and Ferak, but missed out on Filch. Cannonball I don't think I'll order. I have the original, so I don't NEED this new one. I may get him if I run into him in a store, though, and the mood strikes me right.
