Ben's review of TW Knight Orion (TLK Prime) is out for patreon backers. All Imma say is, all the poo poo he goes through with the transformation makes me very glad I went with the Unique Toys.

UT are some goddamn wizards when it comes to Bayformers. I still really dig Peru Kill and I'm pondering getting their Megatron.

I also saw the Just Transform It for DX9 La Hire and transformation-wise it's in the same class as the UT stuff, don't know what quality is like... it's just a shame the head has those big bulgy staring eyes.

I really want the UT Galvatron but im so far out of 3P at this point it would just stick out. Hopefully Hasbro does a new version for SS to satisfy me.

man, i'd looked at plenty of pictures and vids and stuff beforehand but that really doesn't convey how much of an absolute unit Devastator is when he's put together and sitting in front of you. maybe it's just because i don't really have any frame of reference for stuff of this size but what a presence

Earthrose gave us new Datsun Bois, probably the thing I wanted most in a modern TF line that didn't cost $80 each.

Any recommendations on where to sell some old G1 loose figures? I put some stuff up on eBay and the fees to sell toys is insane, sold for $225 and the fee was $34ish.

It's worth listing here in case someone wants that one weird figure you have.

I’m surprised Hasbro allowed the licensing for those, considering they sit in exactly the same niche as their own RED figures.

That figure has actually received a 3P figure, I think strangehamster still owns his.

Alligatorcon, is that the other Sharkticon design from the Movie, or is that the one from that G1 episode where they made a gator from Prime's body?

The recent MechFansToys Skullcruncher also has a Alligatorcon deco available.

It's also a really neat Skullcruncher, for all your Croctimus Prime needs.

I wasn't sure what figure that was so I googled it, I might take a trip out to this store on the chance it's actually in stock at this clearance price.

Picked up Kingdom Cyclonus and Optimus Primal. They’re a bit bloody good, aren’t they? Only issue is that it feels like I’m gonna snap Primal’s torso every time I transform him, but it is a nice secure hinge at least, not as floppy as other recent transformers I’ve picked up.

My experience with Wal-Mart super low clearance "in stock" items is they're very rarely actually there.
