I decided to just wait for all the NBKs to release before I order again. By then 4 & 5 should be down to $10. Of course, the JB oversized one will probably drop before then.
While perusing my regular sellers I saw that one of them had just blown out his Machine Boy Onslaughts for like $26 shipped so I'm kicking myself for missing that.

Edit: Zeta just announced they are releasing an updated version of Toyworld's Coolsville. So Coolesville is probably going to crater in price.

Yeah, I shouldn't have ordered NBK 05 since NBK 04 is already under £10, but I'm not buying many figures at the moment, so I thought why not for the sake of 3 quid. Then I have him, and I can just order the last one when it's up.

Word is the OS version is gonna be $110 or less so I'll probably end up tossing the NBKs in a bin anyways. JinBao's products so far are incredible and the upscaled Bruticus had no simplifications and had the design upgrades built in. I expect their Gravity Builder to be on par with that.

I already think the Fort Max i just got is too big, and an oversized devastator would be at least that big.

The roughly voyager size of the existing ones is fine for me.

Well bless your soul. I read Blitzwing (already have) isn't on sale anymore and I assumed that meant Octone wasn't either, but not so!
So now I got Octone, Seaspray, and Skrapnel coming, and I don't have to worry about them showing up while I'm gone home for the holidays. Hot dog!

Oh and reminder for the one or two dumbasses here who don't have Triggerhappy yet: Probably my favourite drat Transformer in ages. Super tempted to start going into work after hours while I still have a job, so I can model up and 3D-print a giant version, after seeing that Optimus.

You could probably get a decent amount for it on ebay as a incomplete figure/spare parts. Did you try putting in new batteries to see if the electronics still work?

It's not MP scale, it's the Toyworld MP scale. So it scales with Primorion and the TW Coneheads. The designs are Studio OX inspired rather than straight G1 derived. Zeta's probably going to re-release every single Toyworld product for half the original price since the designs are paid for.
Coolsville actually scales okay with the MP cars in bot mode, he's maybe a few millimeters taller than Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and the rest, and way shorter than, say, Ironhide and Ratchet. In car mode he's a bit heftier than the should be, but then again I don't think the MP cars are especially in scale in vehicle mode anyway. I can post pics of my lineup if anyone's on the fence.

Of course no guarantee the Zeta versions won't be 95% scale or something, unless they brought the actual molds over with them.

Yeah you can probably get a decent amount for that, I'd guess $80-100 if it's not complete but the main bot's in good shape. I'd sell soon though because I'm guessing Trypticon nostalgia is at a high around now because of the TR version.

Not to my knowledge. I'm supposed to get an email when it does go live and so far nothing. Wouldn't be surprising that I don't get that email seeing how TRU sucks and is probably going out of business any day now.

I got TLK deluxe Cogman and he's freaking great. His car mode looks excellent and tabs together well without goofy panel gaps or other things that would ruin it, and his robot mode (and head) have a lot of really nice paint that bring out the even nicer sculpted details. Hands down the best toy in the TLK line (and there were some others I liked a lot as well).

Also TR Seaspray is quite possibly my favorite Transformers toy period. I freaking love him.

Cogman is the only TLK figure I actually want. Did you happen to find him in the wild or did you get him online?

Absolutely. Better looking in both modes, less fiddly and more fun transformation in both directions, better paint apps.

It helps that I thought Cogman was the best part of TLK movie. His voice actor and motion capture performer must have had a field day playing him, and I hope Cogman comes back in the next movie somehow.

I'm confident I'll never see him in the wild so I paid $30 for him on eBay and don't regret it.
