Marmaduke! posted:I don't think us non-patreon donaters are meant to have access to this yet, but thanks He goofed up, posted it live as a public patreon post. (I am a $1 backer, but wasn't logged in when I viewed the post.) Think he's fixed the patreon post now, but since I had the YT link, thought I'd link it. And if you enjoy Thew, you should back him. I don't have the money to definitely throw $5 every month, so I've settled for a buck a month for now, but if his new schedule does pay off then I'll probably bump it up.

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:Remember comic readers, it's a Rodimus-and-friends-less Lost Light tomorrow, as we finally pick up on what Getaway's been doing a mere 17 months (!) since he took control of the ship. I am actually hype Is there a decent online retailer that will ship new comics to my door as low as a single book a month? My FLGS does take comic orders, but they've had real issues with diamond, especially when it comes to lost light, and I'm no longer in as often as I used to be. The only other handy-ish shops that would do it locally are forbidden planet and A1, and they're not exactly the little guy anyway.

3 of my 4 ordered NBK constructicons have arrived! The section for the legs to slide inwards towards the waist feels awful when they're brand new, one area Hasbro would do better, but overall they look and feel great!  I really like how the knees sit/work

Disco De Soto posted:Do you think they'll actual finish them all by March next year? I've also heard conflicting rumors about the different sets being compatible or not, I am the wrong person to ask, i only bought in because someone else posted them and they looked sweet. Scrapper would be a little disappointing on his own, I think, bu the other two I posted are great fun.

Just checked with my ali Express seller, and the reason why I have 3 our ot 4, but no tracking info on the fourth, is the factory is delayed in sending out mixmaster. He reckons it should be out this week though, so given the timeline for delivery for the other 3, I should have Mixmaster by roughly the 22nd?

(Aliexpress, generally) I posted a pic of the current 3 yesterday, and Mixmaster should be with me in a couple weeks. They're around £10 each, inc. Shipping, and will all combine for devastatot. Edit: 2 days ago, not yesterday.

This is the specific seller I used: http://s.aliexpress.com/mErAFBJF Aliexpress gives a large window to report issues, and sellers generally bend over backwards to avoid negative reports about them. If im buying something i don't have a seller for, i tend to sort the search page by number of orders. If they have plenty orders, i've not had an issue yet. These are the first TF's I've bought on there.

No new TF's in Glasgow Hamleys. In fact, the only generations toys were a few titan masters, and legends bumblebee (and a couple roadrash or whatever his name is) Not a single deluxe or voyager from TR, nevermind PotP. Views i might not bother popping in if they're going to go exclusively for the other lines.

Double post, but for pictures! Album link: https://imgur.com/a/j3TtX   Sneaky Alt-Mode pic:  With the rest of his crew:  And with some other robots for scale:   The colours aren't anywhere as bright as in the flash photos, but they look overly muted (though not much) in the normal photos. They're definitely neon, but not bright. Oh, and they all have awesome light-piping. edit: the colours look a bit better on my PC than they did on my phone, might just be my phone.

TheDK posted:Daaaaaaamn. Looks really good except for that G1 trash you somehow managed to get in the way. I figured it was a reasonable reference size on top of Triggerhappy and the Leader class Blaster. I should have grabbed my Powermaster prime instead though, but I can't get to that shelf at the moment.

History Comes Inside! posted:How does leg mode look?   I'm pretty happy with it! I will say, I wasn't sure about Scrapper, as his shoulders and arms feel super thin then super chunky out of nowhere, and his bottom half is a bit fiddly to go from bot to vehicle, but Mixmaster feels as great as the arm bots. There's also a rattle inside the mixing tank, which is fully free to rotate btw.

For some reason I thought the new Optimus was going to be Voyager. I'm not super-fussed about scale next to other bots, so should I just get the MP-10V since it'll be pretty much the same price?

A1 toys in glasgow are doing an in store only deal of TR Fort Max for 40 quid. If you are interested in the figure at all, and can get to glasgow, braehead, or silverburn, i believe they all have stock. (parnie st branch had double digits of figures on display, plus more in the back as mine came in the shipping box.

Disco De Soto posted:Dammit maybe he sold out but he just sent me a message saying it won’t be ready until Jan or Feb.... Nah, the toys always go up early on the stores, there's just a backlog on the factories just now which means nbk keep missing dates. Nbk 04 was delayed about 3 weeks from order too.

Rhyno posted: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. 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.

Rhyno posted: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.

Is there a smaller version of the masterpiece Ultra Magnus? Or a decent 3rd party one that won't break the bank? I've fancied a Magnus for a while, but I just saw an image comparing the CW Leader one and the Masterpiece, and much prefer how the masterpiece one looks waist down. (The CW one looks closer to MTMTE style, but his legs are too thin, the MP ones are nice and chunky.) (I'll also need to then buy myself a minimus ambus separately, but oh well.)

Comfortador posted:Anyone get their NBK Longhauls yet? I'm not happy with mine. Loose parts abound and I'm confused on the transformation that has me mounting his gun. Yeah, his gun didn't mount for me either. I did like the idea of the guns being part of the transformation on the others, but it just doesn't fit on Long Haul. I've not got any issues with loose parts though, and I just ignored the gun in the transformation.

Comfortador posted:The crotchplate was the loosest I guess its not a huge deal. I though the gun in the back was needed for stability. If its not I can probably furniture polish the loosies and call it a day Actually, good point. I just picked it up again to see what you were talking about, and I remembered one of the bits on the end of the crotchplate was actually loose in the box. Clipped back on without issue though. The whole crotchplate assembly is fairly well set though. And can confirm the gun doesn't need to be in place. It's currently in the hands of my Classics Starscream.

Endless Mike posted:drat, I wish I could live off $688 a month plus whatever paltry adpence YouTube pays. I'd guess hes saved up a bit of money to start off, plus as he lives in England his commuting costs must be huge just now so removing those will help, then you're just betting on continued growth. If he can get $600 part time, when I don't think there's been a normal review video in a month or more, I'm betting he'll double or triple it once he's putting out a chunk of content.

I had a bunch of toys that were a mix of hand-me-downs and random extras bought at car boot sales (think yard sale, but everyone brings it all to a field, instead of relying on people going house to house) Had a mix of stuff, mostly damaged, generally in bad shape. Bunch of G1 stuff, and a lot of "machine robo" stuff too.
