I bought the other PE Arcee and it was REALLY fragile. I unloaded it when MMC announced their not-Arcee.


This one looks like it has even more little parts that can snap at any given moment, that said it also looks really cool. But I'm getting a little burnt out on $60 - $80 5-inch Transformers.

I'm tempted to pay the full price just to get the last two cassettes I need.

If you do this, I'll pay retail for it WITHOUT those two cassettes. If you can solve the hassle of acquiring one and shipping it, I'd be glad to basically let you have those cassettes for free.

Sounds good to me, since I'm ordering Acid Storm ill be on the site that day anyway. We'll see what happens on July 18th.

What issues has TFSource had in the past? I was tempted to get in on that Sideswipe, but haven't decided ... if they are a lovely place to buy from I'll just live without it.

Captured Prey does as well, but at the time I thought it was my last shot at Quakewave.

Alright! I was perfectly content not getting Sideswipe, but this works out even better.

Why is Lambor more expensive than the upcoming Masterpiece cars (Bluestreak, Prowl, and Smokescreen)? They were available for $50 on HLJ a while ago.

Because there was a false panic that Takara-TOMY lost the license for the car and all the people who were hoping Hasbro would do one scrambled to find him after mostp laces sold through their stock. There still is no word if Hasbro will ever do one, but at least now Takara is doing a reissue.

There's an official one coming later this year if you don't like 3P, just in the green/red color way.

My TRU had like 7 - 8 Thundercrackers up until about a month ago when I assume they pulled them into the back to make space for other things. I was hoping they'd get a discount at some point, but TRU clearance is almost "why bother?"

Welp! There is my refund for Acid Storm.

Not quite sure how 100's of their figures just went on sale by mistake but whatever.

I've got the Chell figure, I managed to get one that actually looks good.

Not going to deny that NECA has questionable quality control. They're at their best when they're making non-human figures. I've got pretty much all of their Predators, and they all kick rear end.

Their Predator Dutch is one of the greatest things made this year. They can do good humans too.

Speaking of BBTS, they killed my wallet this week shipping Hexatron, Last Chance, and a Green Ranger.

I was debating dropping the 3P Stunticons, but now I have four of the five. I'm a bit worried about the Motormaster price considering the cars are all out and still no preorder for the big guy.

Got my Quakewave this week and oh dear lord is he perfect in every way!



I gotta get some batteries, and figure out where some of these extra parts they put in here go ... but everyone should own this guy. He has some real MP quality heft to him and the die cast feet are badass. I haven't transformed him yet because his bot mode is so good, but I'll get to it soon. If you are a MP fan this is one 3P figure not to miss.

Does anybody happen to have a Masterpiece Thundercracker for sale? It's the one seeker I missed and the eBay price is already creeping past $100. How much was it at retail?

Around $80.

MP-01 is taller than MP Soundwave. But MP-10 is pretty even with him.

MMC just announced another Shockwave.

This one appears to be sized for Classics at about 7" tall. Kind of overlap, but Quakewave is all I need.

The big rumor I keep hearing is late November he will actually be available. If that's the case it is still odd they haven't solicited preorders.

For those who've been waiting, BBTS put up the preorder for Diesel (not-Motormaster) at $119.99 for the next week or so then it goes up $30.

$120 was about where I wanted it to be so yay for that.

The FP Insecticons fall into that category of if they were maybe a half inch bigger I'd love them. They are cool little robots but hard to swallow at $70 each.

I'm glad MMC is tackling Overlord because that other one they put up on BBTS looks hideous and costs quite a bit.

I really like the Fansproject one. Toy world doesn't look bad but I wasn't a huge fan of Hardbone so I think that taints my judgement.

Geez, I think this will be my first MP. What's the turnaround on MPs going from announcement to being re-released by Hasbro in the US? 12+ months at least, right?

At least, also gotta hope Hasbro decides to release it.

Takara is doing MP reissues with a lot of regularity of late. Bodes well to see them cheaper later on.

I still have all my Binaltechs and I don't think they aged very well, especially compared to the recent MP cars.

Most of my problem comes with the heads being too big and the gorilla arms.

A 3P Slag is announced!

And it's by the same guys that did Quakewave so I have some hope it will be good!

They aren't that bad for a 3P combiner, especially of his size. Although that company doesn't have much a track record so I'll wait for reviews.

Caesarian Sectarian

I think Slag looks incredible.

I'm interested to see his dino mode though, it's a little worrisome that they haven't shown it with the big reveal. But again, they made Quakewave so they have my good will for another preorder. I also loved that they kept sending me kits every time they made a new hand or arm at no charge since I bought Quakewave on the first run. That was pretty awesome.

Not quite sold on the Planet X swoop, dino mode looks good enough but robot does nothing for me.
