I never owned them as a lad so getting a poseable set that can also combine is super my jam.

Do it already Budianskyyyy.

Also I have managed to pick up Arcee and a set of the MTG cards for a pal. I think uh that Groupon sale from a few weeks back is because well...there's not really a lot of people here :nyoron:

For some reason the main programming is in an arena. I have a very sad pic of a very empty panel arena I can share later. I am havibg a pretty good time though. I'm pumped to meet Peter Cullen and frank Welker tomorrow. I will be sad if I don't :(

Also I wonder if I have inadvertently bumped into DT without even realizing it if he is in fact here.

I think Sluggslinger might be the only deluxe who is truly hard to find. The case is still up for preorder at Diamond so I might pull the trigger on that. Ramhorn was $11 on Amazon the other day, up to $20 now. I'd honestly be willing to pay $10 just so I don't have to hunt for him. Overlord might also be hard to find at retail but he's up for preorder everywhere for $46. I'm holding off for one more week to see if Diamond is going to get them and then I'm preordering it.

Slugslinger has been the easiest of the last wave to find for me. I found him before even I found the non-revision wave figures and then the one store I found Windblade et all at in restocked with the revision wave

I need to see the toys then because I am finding myself distinctly put off by the clear parts and combining of the dinobots.

It's possible. I was wearing a Transformers Splatoon shirt this morning when I was off duty (and I'm probably wearing the other one tomorrow).
But as far as pointing me out from the sea of blue - I'm not working in the Transformers area, if that helps, and I doubt you've wandered into where I am working unless you were doing the passport thing.

Thanks!


If any UK goons are there, and have space in their bag, I will pay 50 quid plus shipping for one of these, so easy double your money.
I get if nobody wants to take that offer, since the sets are about $100 on ebay just now, but any that don't sell are going up Hasbro's store after the event, I just don't want to have to deal with US shipping.

I have only been by the transformers and mtg areas so I probably haven't then haha. I did that transformers passport thing cuz I needed something to do whole waiting for the Blogatog panel.

That Orion pax potp thing still blew my mind seeing it in person

My only issue with the new Dinobots is that I don't like the size disparity. If one of them had to be bigger, I'd rather it be Sludge for dinosaur reasons, but obviously that doesn't work with the combiner core being the leader. But I'll live with it, and hopefully we'll get some oversized knock-offs, by whatever name you want to use, that'll let me pair official Grimlock with scaled-up deluxes.

And that Optimus Prime's truck cab has some pretty serious issues, but drat that combined robot mode looks amazing.

Are there more Transformer panels this weekend? They teased the Terrorcons pretty heavily, and nothing.

It's too late for it now, but there's no reason the torso has to be the leader. Scrapper's a leg.

True, but Devastator's the exception that predates all the Scramble City-style guys. You know if they made Grimlock a leg people would have a fit.

Yep, they were all the same size in G1. But if one of them's going to be bigger, I'd like to it be the sauropod.

This latest wave of reveals seems like the thing I'll look back at "the time when I realized I was done with transformers." I don't even have any complaints, they just seem so bleh. Another Jazz, another Prime, even another Skullgrin. And none of the engineering seems very daring. I keep buying TFs but I don't end up catching the dragon as often as I used to. :/
