Honestly I feel the same way about G1 “accurate” toys after years of movie influence. Only yknow older.

I just paid my invoice for Kingdom Inferno, Kingdom Dinobot it set to arrive tomorrow. The original arrival date for that wave was May so this is a nice surprise. That leaves Huffer, Airrazor and the still unscheduled metallic Cheetor and I'll be caught up on mainline TFs for the first time in ages. I used to have a huge spreadsheet covering my preorders and purchases. I mean, I still have it but I stopped updating it and it's just so much easier to not give a poo poo about how much you've spent or plan on spending on toys.

Were the G1 Combaticons ever metal? I have some I'm selling and the guy is asking if they have metal chests, but I thought they were plastic all along.

Just the chests. Initial release was diecast metal, then later, plastic.

Sandstorm (the Desert Storm Ramjet) showed up last night from BBTS and, yeah, he's as boxy in jet mode as I expected - the Ramjet wing plan just makes it more obvious over the regular F-15s - but he still looks cool as hell in both modes. The nice thing is, RJ's wings can fold all the way forward or all the way back, so instead of giving him the silhouette of a Dracula cape, you can make him more trim-looking than even the regular seekers. That, and the fact that he's wearing the chocolate chip camo from the Gulf War, kind of sets his characterization for me as "professional soldier", with a hint of "permanently done with the rest of these clowns' bullshit".

I think he'd get on well with Onslaught.

Just announced by the the Transformers social media accounts, too.

EDIT: DT you gotta let someone in web development know that looking through one's orders on Pulse is a nightmare, a way at least to sort by "open" status would save so much time. Hasbro Dean must be a bot or something.

I imagine you've heard all the Pulse complaints. Feels weird to be told my 2 free years of Premium are ending and I really should renew. I super want Pulse to be the experience that warrants it but it's just not right now.

It has at very least been a reliable place to get stuff even if it isn't as fast as other retailers.

Premium would be alright at $20, but $50 is ridiculous.

Eh, shipping on most things is like $10, as long as you make more than 5 orders it pays for itself. I’m planning to re-up.

I've flat-out stopped dealing with Pulse aside from exclusives, between them usually being the last to get figures, long ship times (not really their fault since I'm on the opposite side of the country), and the hassle of trying to manage preorders. I like the idea of buying direct, but it just takes so long to get anything through them.

Here I was thinking there's very little remold potential in most of the kingdom line, but those bastards at Hasbro sure showed me wrong.

What are we looking at for other remolds, Obviously Tigatron and Ravage from Cheetor, maybe Rat Arcee from Rattrap, Pipes from Huffer, and BW Grimlock from Dinobot?

I think BW Grimlock is part of a two-pack.

I think BW Megs is getting repainted as a Jurassic Park crossover figure.

They can always repaint Primal red.

The JP crossover figure is an interesting idea for that mold. I wonder if they'll remember all the original JP dinosaurs are female, and change the robot accordingly.

In theory you could change the robot quite a bit in fact, since the T-Rex bits are mostly shell
