Attention people going to Wizard World: If you are planning on being there on saturday and happen to stumble on a Voyager Optimus before then, I would love to pay you money for him there. I met one of you there last year (Shifty, I think) and it worked out pretty well. I'll definitely try and find that Dead End for you, Alkaline.

I saw those Henkei guys at Wizard World and I thought they were totally fugly. Especially Grimlock. I'm going to assume you got them from the booth charging 175 bucks for shoe Optimus?

That metal dude posted:I love my classics Megatron. I actualy think the Henkei one looks go gaudy. The whole line does save for the space choo choo to be honest. I gotta agree. Henkei Astrotrain looks cool, but all of that chrome on the others is godawful, even on Megatron. That booth had some ok prices, but on the other hand they had a bin full of Botcon Huffers for upwards of 40 bucks a piece and a big stack of the recent Botcon exclusive seeker sets for god knows how much. It wasn't so much the prices that bothered me, but that they had STACKS of this stuff.

Joe Fisto posted:Picture from an Ebay auction Makes me a little nostalgic though. Unicron is the figure that got me into collecting. I remember going out and looking for him before he was widely sighted, and I finally found him at the last place I went on the top of a shelf nowhere near the TFs. It was pretty rad, and probably the reason I like looking for and finding TFs better than actually owning them. He's one of the coolest toys I own despite his many flaws.

Yo other guy in Milwaukee: I saw the new TFU toys at the TRU in Brown Deer today. They had a Prowl and two Sunstreakers, kind of hidden on a peg a little ways away from the other transformers. I didn't get them because they really don't do anything for me, but if you're interested, there they are.

Gammatron 64 posted:I'm really not impressed. The only one that kinda interests me is Springer, and it's very disappointing he's a lameass repaint. It's stupid that Dirge is the Cybertron mold, they could have given him the classics Ramjet mold, and given him a slightly different deco than the Botcon version to keep those guys from bitching. I bought the whole series for 60 bucks and I have yet to read through like half of them, but this is all very accurate. The cheesy 80s ads are great to read through though. Be sure to buy The Dazzler miniseries guys!

drat, Inferno, Hound and Cheetor are totally cool. I might pick them up, but it seems like I always end up selling my Classics. Also, doing the minibots in Legends scale is a great idea. Can someone explain Animated Shockwave/Longarm to me? They're the same guy? And the toy will have 2 bot modes and 2 vehicle modes? robot roll call fucked around with this message at Jul 26, 2008 around 21:25 |

I'm not incredibly impressed with Onslaught. I love the vehicle mode and he's huge and imposing, but I don't really care for the robot mode. I don't know.

He's growing on me. His arms are short and stumpy and his fists are big and cartoony in a bad way and one of his leg panels won't quite stay together. He does look pretty cool but I'm a little tempted to sell him to some suckers on ebay for 50 bucks.

I'm not super-jazzed about Onslaught so I was thinking I would be willing to trade him for an Animated Soundwave and Animated Snarl. Or maybe a different animated figure, I don't know, but definitely Soundwave and another animated fig. Anyone interested?

Revolver Bunker posted:I may be willing to do that. Which Animated are you also looking for? Besides Soundwave and Snarl that is. Actually I can't think of any other ones I want :/ So Animated Soundwave and Snarl are what I'll trade Onslaught for.

Well, I decided to take Onslaught back. Instead I bought Animated Prowl who is totally tits. I think my problem with Onslaught and all the new Classics is that Animated is just so cool and stylized that it makes the Classics look kind of bland. To me, anyways.

I found all of the wave 3 basics at Walmart today. I bought Soundwave and hid a Snarl behind some Nerf sniper rifles. No one will ever look there! They also had Jazz and Oilslick. Jazz is cool, but he doesn't play the guitar.

I don't know if there's a street date or something, but I'm seeing Wave 3 deluxes everywhere now. Also when I was at TRU there was a kid, maybe 6 or 7 standing by the Transformers and he just started talking and talking and talking to me. It was hilarious. He pointed to Bumblebee and said "He's the fast one!" and then he started pointing out which ones he had. He told me he didn't have Jazz or Soundwave and he really wanted Prowl ("He's the motorcycle.") Then he started explaining Headmaster with Leader Bulkhead to me. This kid must have been going for a straight 5 minutes and I'd just smile and occasionally interject a "that's cool" or "really?". He was just so excited about it all. It was pretty funny.

IroncladTomato posted:Tip for people buying Universe Onslaught, be careful when you're folding his hands back in to make him into a truck, so you don't make them physically impossible to poull back out without taking a screwdriver to the forearm I must be the opposite of everyone, I bought Onslaught and I didn't really like him at all. And yet today I got Powerglide who seems like the less popular of the two and I think he's great. Warthog mode is badass, he makes the transforming noise when converting him, and he looks cool in robot mode despite his big head and tiny t-rex arms. And he has the heart from that stupid G1 episode.
