I admit even this is wishful thinking.

In Australia, they were seizing mp-05, and we all know he was packed in robot mode, "apparently" customs officers were trained to identify him on sight, and one of the admins on the transformers australia forums octa reported they just xray'd the package, meaning the box was never opened nor did they look at the box (which, has images of the gun mode but the focus was on his robot mode).

Anyone trying to bring him in in a mass-shipment is fucked, as for me I have 4 options.

>buy in in a bulked mixed package from hlj and pray
>wait until an aussie seller has him which lowers, but not necessarily prevents, customs inspections
>head to japan, buy him, pull him apart and assemble upon return
>pay $300aud for a letter to say I'm a toy collector that isn't gonna walk around and pretend to hold people up with a toy that last for 3 months before I need to renew it JUST to keep it legally

I got lucky with mp-05 but that's because the hype died down, people here reported the 3p's arriving safely, truthfully I want to get him the proper way, problem is I need a reference.

Who's gonna agree to say I'm a reasonable enough person to own a replica walter p38, I don't even have a regular doctor to vouch for me.

Actually Despotron looks nicer than this but since Despo is about $200 CAD I will have to settle with this one because it will be at least $50 cheaper even with the shipping included.

I'm an Australian, I got lucky with mine and most states prevent this since he's classed as a replica firearm.

In the states he just needs an orange safety cap and he's safe

>>5979840

Apployon is very much outdated, dx9's supreme mightron is a much better figure than the old applyon, least from the front as per picture, the rear is just as hideous

>>5979843
Despotron looks more like a generations figure, he's stylized, he looks great as a bot, but like all 3p megatrons they don't capture a walter p38 corectly, and while despotron's bot mode is great if stylized his gun mode is weak due to the slide hinge on the barrel.

I got a feeling that, while he looks explosive from all the panels, he will be simplified in transformation
>>
>>5979818

Mace looks good. Barrel over the shoulder looks a bit too far to the left though.

>>5979820

3P's did the back better, look at Despotron, it's virtually flawless. Front looks fine.

>>5979822

Definitely fits in with Takara's recent slavish adherence to the cartoon model. I'm actually not sure I like that for Megatron though - too scrawny.

I do like the flat grey over the silver though. And that back... wow. It's a mess, but I'm really keen to see how this thing transforms. Hope they sort the droopiness out on the gun mode before release too

>>
>>5979836
I remember also that a big contributor to MP05's legality in certain regions was its size. It's far to large to identified as a real gun in after a brief inspection. Like seriously it's as big as a cat.

This on the otherhand could very definitely fool someone for quite a bit. Hopefully in canada, having an orange peg glued into it will be enough.
>>
>>5979863
>can't do basic photoshop
Are you underage or just stupid?
>>
>>5979902

3P-wise, the last two MP-esque Megs figures only came with tape over the barrel, and an orange plug that wasn't even glued in.

Hopefully Takara follows suit. No gun images on the box, and a simple, easily removed orange plug.

You're fucked if Hasbro steps in though. You'll be lucky if he isn't painted bright orange up the entire barrel.

>>5979868
It's alright, but you can tell it's going to suffer from the same problems AoE Prime had - specifically the huge backpack.

Takara won't give him orange plugs, bbts and hlj did that for mp05 themselves, they glued it in too.

Least hlj gave you the option to go without the plug, 3p's just tacked them in just to skirt about gunlaws while keeping collectors happy.

>hasbro

mp01 scales with mp05, mp10 to mp36.

After mp10 they had a consistent scale, if its a car it must fit in mp10's trailer, and big guys can only get bigger if they're meant to be huge like ultra magnus

Fuck you, I had been trying to avoid it for half a decade now, I hate the scaled down size and the arm proportions on that cunt.

Worst part is, my only reason to get an MP10 would be to display it in vehicle mode with the robot mode of MP04, but if Megatron is almost half the size then there's no way that would work. Unless if I also buy the older MP Megatron to display him behind the newer one and sort of have the older Masterpiece generations behind the new ones. Which would be fucking insane, but perhaps necessary to solve my scale OCD.

But while I stand in defense of MP01 being best Prime, there's no way to deny that MP5 looks like utter shit, unlike the new one. I would just want it for scale purposes, but at the same time I'm not sure if it's entirely worth it...

Will it look too bad to have a dwarf Megatron next to MP04?

????
Jesus christ, you don't have to be an MP10 supporter to agree that MP05 is utter shit. Once again, while I'm all for MP01, this goddamn thing sacrifices just about everything in terms of aesthetics for the sake of a realistic handgun mode.

>>5979974
I just don't like the downscale they took with MP10 and, while it was still possibly to sort of display the newer car robots and larger MPs alongside the old Prime, that's totally impossible now that I'm gonna scale him against a Megatron. Plus, as others have mentioned, the proportions of MP10 aren't exactly the best, especially when compared to his predecessor. Why is that an unfair or contrarian opinion, anon?
>>
>>5979979
I doubt it. Once we see a painted prototype of an MP, there usually isn't any major variation in the final mold.

I'm somewhat tempted to get the new megs, the only Masterpiece I've got is Optimus (I've got Sunstorm: mcdonalds edition, but I consider that it's own thing) so I think this would work as a nice counterpart to him.
>>
>>5979982
What I'm saying is they're magazine scans, the OP image looks silverish to me but the rest look matte, and the gun mode looks more white to me.

Good chance I'm retarded, blind and stupid, I'm just saying, just wait a little, that said if the mold looks like shit now then yeah go ahead and skip, even gold chrome won't save a mold one doesn't like

Say what you want about the original looking abismal (and for all that matters the robot mode certainly does), but at the very least it had an excellent stainless steel paintjob. Matte gray figures just look like unpainted plastic, they're literally the lowest you can go in terms of decor.

Question, are you waiting on hasbro to bring him out?

You know it'll either be they don't because GUNZ or he'll be a horrible redeco 20 years from now?

I mean, really, unless you're fine with the cw megatron which is nifty if a little...simple

>that back

I really don't know what to think about this. Some steps forward, some steps back next to the third party stuff. He's the closest to the animation's super diaper and wonky model sheet proportions but it looks scrawny. The gun mode actually a proper size and a great shape, but the paneling breaks it up way too much.

Hell I'm not sure he meshes well with MP10 going by the detailing.

This is true, glad takara themselves are not, very smart people redeco'ing others molds and drowning them in paint with the occasional retool, knowing people will buy them thinking they are superion nippon folded plastics when they're made in the same chinese factories as hasbro.

Its just a mystery why the hasbro version's and their qc show up more so, is it because there are more figures made and more people to complain about, do the japanese keep their mouths shut about their flaws?

3p's aren't under any licensing restrictions they could make an octopus megatron if they wanted to

Is the raised shoulder logo on that guy the autobot logo?

If so, then that's a little bit annoying. I'm fairly certain the official Nemesis Prime MP had a proper raised decepticon logo.

Teslor is an OC name, basically the same as Arcana. And he's definitely not based off of Arcana.

I think it's Stylor (Chromedome's headmaster) that he's based off of.

Do you display your toys after play, or just store them?

For display, it depends on how you want it to look. You can have Starscream in jet mode divebombing some robot mode Autobots, or have Bulkhead running over poor Vehicons in truck mode. If you have combiners, it's almost always better to display them combined.

If it's for storage, vehicle mode is usually your best bet for keeping your figures compact. Fiddle around to see if it's possible to compact them further from that point.

Okay, so I want to stop being a NEET and start selling Transformers.

Do any of you guys have experience buying/selling Transformers at wholesale?

Where do you buy them from?

Is Entertainment Earth my only option?

I looked at Aliexpress but most of the places there charge way to much plus there is the shipping from China. Sometimes it would almost be cheaper to just buy it on eBay and resell. Thay also only have older lines and knockoffs. Where do places like BBTS get them?

Hard mode: Takara stuff
Easier mode: Knockoffs. I'd love to buy some knockoffs at wholesale. I found some at the dollar store but I assume their supply can and will dry up.

I already found a few on Aliexpress but even their "wholesale" prices are more expensive than eBay china sellers of some things. There are a few sellers on Aliexpress who have cases of just Takara Armada Starscreams but I'm not sure anyone wants those enough to buy a ton at $40 just to break even. There used to be a guy at the local farmers market that sold KO Skygarrys. I now wish I asked him where he got them. I assume it was from some wholesale toy catalog. Ditto for the dollar stores.

I have seen one in person during TFcon but it was the one in the Spanish box. You should go to TFcon Chicago or contact Artfire2000 since I believe he still has that Diaclone version in stock if you don't mind the box being the Spanish one. I think he has the regular Japanese box one as well for slightly more expensive price. Ebay is shit when it comes to vintage stuff because people tend to overprice it just because it's old. Look for actually direct sellers with websites or people that do business straight from Japan that actually toy hunts. That will save you a couple thousand dollars more than paying what Ebay dumbasses are asking.

>>5980466
>telling the guy to buy reeduns and bootlegs when the person wants the original Diaclone version

I was like you when I got back into Transformers a few years ago. I scoff at the though of G1 bricks because they are bricks and thus no modern articulation and thus was shit in my eyes. That all changed after I bought my first G1 item in a long time. Now I try to buy G1 stuff more than the modern toys when possible. There is just something that feels right when you handle G1 stuff that the more modern articulated figures doesn't really have. Mind you I buy MPs and modern stuff a lot but there is just this itch that G1 toys scratch that I can't even tell where but it feels good.

So yeah I would just let the guy do what he wants instead of telling him to buy something he doesn't want at the moment.

Artfire2000 is a god amongst men, but do you have any site or contact that toy hunts straight from Japan?

>>5980466
Like the guy I just quoted said, wanting a Diaclone (or any other vintage Transformer from G1 to G2, for the matter) is not as much about wanting a figure that's technically competent for modern standards as much as it is for the charm and historical value of it. On one hand, there's something inherently pleasing about their simplicity that wasn't matched by any other toys that were around at the time: while they are very much Japanese-ish in terms of design and concept there's also something tastefully American and European about the fact that they turn into these neat and even still somewhat surprisingly good-looking die cast vehicles, especially back at a time when most manufacturers were instead going full plastic. In a way, they feel like a perfect crossing between sophisticated robots and vintage toys, which is a match made in heaven for someone that likes classic memorabilia. Plus, on the other hand, they sort of are the backbone for the modern figures, and as a Transformers fan, knowing that my adolescence hobby stands on the peers of those modest bricks means a lot to me. You cannot solely judge them on proportions or poseability, that's entirely missing the historical context - instead, try to look at them from the perspective of being great vintage collectibles built upon the limitations of the mid 80s. In the end, they're also not the primary focus of my collection, but still, I never miss out on a good deal for one on Ebay or flea markets.

>>5980739
>Gold plastic syndrome
But where? I never realized he had any gold parts.
>>
>>5980784
That should be good enough, if its too thick try cutting a bit of an index card and fold it over once, it should be the right thickness. Was able to fix my Hardhead that way and it gave him a bit of downwards articulation too. Skullcruncher however has a gap inside the port where the cardboard could fall into so it requires a different fix for him.

Dude, do yourself a favour and go work at a retail shop for a bit first. Doesn't have to be at Wally or TRU. Just to get a feel of how wholesale works with retailers.

Fucking brilliant bit of input right there. MP shouldn't be about strict cartoon accuracy, because that's only hurting this Megatron mold. I just noticed they've even copied the animation error of the Decepticon badge on his chest. Pretty shit in my opinion. The fact that they're pandering to this level of autism is sad. Don't really want to spend my money on a bland gray Megatron that looks like a stupidly-proportioned animation model.

Fuck, I'm sold. I promised myself to never give away my money to a toy from that class after seeing them replacing the regular Age of Extinction toys in my country, but I need that little frog shit. Thanks for prostituting me into dropping my morals and cultural resistance against bad Hasbro products for the sake of some cute amphibian, you goddamn faggots.

I haven't even tempted you to buy Rescue Bot toddler toys yet.
>>
>>5981345
You won't have to, I occasionally buy them for my younger cousin for the sake of living vicariously through him. They also actually have more articulation and better aesthetics than most one-step figures, which says a lot about the current state of non-CHUG Hasbro.

Did you know that Nightbeat's TM vehicle just snaps snuggly onto the crane?

I didn't even know there was a Rescue Bots ship until you posted those pics, actually. What's it called? It does look cool.

High tide, it's supposed to be the armored form of the blue mini-sub in >>5981345 also called High Tide.

It's pretty much Earth-mode Omega Supreme.
>>
>>5981353
>>5981355
So it's called High Tide, has a surprisingly good looking robot mode and comes with some minifigs? That's actually pretty neat, I might check it out if it gets to my TRU.

I wish they would do something like this for the regular line, there isn't enough naval stuff in Transformers overall.

It's somewhere between voyager and leader sized. Jointed at the shoulders only.

At least in TR, Broadside is coming out and he'll likely be repainted into Tidalwave. Scourge is also a boat, a space-boat. Loudmouth's vehicle is a hovercar, but you can pretend it's a small motorboat

My Autobot headmasters will never be complete. Fuck you Hasbro for not putting a core goddamn cast member in a regular wave.

That said I'll probably end up just shelling out for the Takara one, at least those aren't scalpers, and I get a comic and a Titan Master vehicle.

I thought the point of toy swapping was to swap in a WORSE figure

I own Walgreens Brainstorm might actually pick up the Takara version as well.

Weird question but how many TF collectors dose anyone know that's money stable? Like owns their own life rather then leeching off family till the plug is pulled? Of my life experience I only know myself and one other and he is more of a Joe collector, the other two we know personally and a few others more causally are hitting points like that stupid picture where they are so poor (and yeas stupid) they have to swap out their older collection when they had ma and pas money to make by. Also they are crazy hardcore about glorious Japan and all it does is golden.

It is. But Worse is in the eye of the beholder. Just because they do not share your particular subjective tastes does not mean they are wrong or stupid.

No, I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it means.

What upgrade kit is the devastator on the left using? It looks really dope.
