So, this is the "kino toyline" we were stoked for. Fuck, does the future look grim for Transformers.

>I love the cell phone and gameboy ones.
Strangely enough those two and Meantime were the only ones I skipped at the time, I wish I hadn't in retrospect just because I'm close to a complete set. I love Longview and Zoomout, they're such good little background nobodies that help flesh out their respective armies.
If Moonracer shelfforms, that means you can make a bunch of different guys out of the same skelley like Highbrow/Scourge/Windblade?
>>6526639
I have both, the Gameboy is actually sort of bland and lame (especially the Autobot version, the Decepticon one at the very least has some interesting colors to it) but basically all three versions of the flip cellphone are brilliant. I would genuinely recommend going after at least one of them if you're still into the line. Also,

A dumped thousands in ethereum. Now I can't buy any more bricks because I have to save monies.
I don't know what's worse the fact that I put 8 grand into cryptocurrencies. Or the fact that I think back upon spent money as money that could have been spent on lego.

This is the best CHUG Hot Rod toy. Say something nice to him.

head sculpt really does look like it jumped straight from the screen of the '86 Movie
Hot rod looks good, but he's fucking huge compared to normal deluxes.
Any /toy/soldier here from Florida?
Please stay safe.
I know all of us here in /toy/ don't get along sometimes
but we're still a community.
I hope all of you Florida anons are safe from the hurricane.
>>6524938
Florida /toy/soldier here, Buncha trees came down but didn't hit our house. Thanks for the well wishes
Lost power pretty early in the night, so I decided to box everything up and store it to avoid any issues with the incoming humidity and heat.
Seems like everyone I've spoken with has gotten out of this fairly alright; I hope the same for others.
Daytona Beach area reporting. Lost power but otherwise no damage or flooding.
Looks like I'll be grilling until the power is back on.

-less compatible brick system
-no clones to use with it, outside of the stud bricks

What do you fellas think about the figures? Sorry if I don't know the model I just wanted to build it. lol I got this at the dollar tree store.

And the back.. i know I mess up the shield
I'm always eyeing the wolfguy but I always forget to.
Similar thing happens to me with Majin Bone, I forget and the boxes are fuckhuge.
Playmates is releasing a 16" classic Voltron with lights & sounds. Multiple weapons as well. What do you think /toy/?
That's neat but after the Chogokin I think I'm tapped out on classic Voltron. I wonder what they'll do to put their own touch on it. so many companies have done their own take on Voltron. Actually, I still kinda want Mattel's, shitty as it may be.
They really based it off the soul of chogokin mold but they probably cut out a lot of engineering and articulation in favor of the electronics and budgeting.
Best to actually wait for reviews of these guys to pop up and see the inevitable fuck ups in the paint apps that Playmates does.
>>6519543
While it certainly has it's flaws, I love the size of the Matty Voltron and the ability to put 3.75" pilots inside each lion. If only Matty had gone with a lights/sounds gimmick like these instead of that stupid auto-transformation nonsense.
If you had a million dollars to spend on whatever you want...
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TOY EVER BUY?
nigga don't be dumb, if I get a million dollars I'm going to stretch it out as long as possible. That's like 17 years of $60k salary for literally no work
>>6518241
A million is way more than I'd spend on a toy. I would buy a house, get some quality display cases for my high end collectibles, and buy materials to make a bunch of diorama displays to set my figures in.
Imagining rooms full of G.I. Joe battlefields and 1/150 scale cities filled with Kaiju and robots. Glorious.
Though if I had a million dollars, I'd probably shell out for a U.S.S. Flag.
If I had a million dollars, I doubt I'd be in this hobby any longer. Toys are just a cheap emotional place holder to stave off inner reflection of my own failures and a means by which I can distance myself from bringing others into my life because of how "embarrassing" owning them happens to be.
Toys R Us might file bankruptcy in 2018

What are your thoughts? As a former employee, all I can say is it has been a long time coming.
>>6517626
Big Box retailers have been on the decline for about 16 years, why should Toys R Us be any different?
>>6517626
I hope you fucked your female coworkers
So where the fuck are we supposed to go for Nintendo shit now? Target & Walmart have dramatically reduced their sections, Toys R Us is closing, Amazon never has shit online, ToyWiz overcharges tenfold, and we never get any release dates when something actually does come out
anyone else considering backing the new kickstarter?

Hey guys, any of you still remembers Rodolfo? I still wake up in the middle of the night just to find he is in a new pose i didn't left it like that.... Anyway i just wanted to let you all know that Rodolfo evolved to a slasher of some kind....
Nobody? Thats sad.... Rodolfo may take it the wrong way and end up killing all the toys in your home.....
Be carefull... He can blend iin just perfectly...
So who is planning on going?
I am going on Saturday of next week. I'm not happy with them though because I'm still trying to get some money back for paying full price when all the promo codes went out.
enjoy the massive amount of SJWs present, it's the only market Hasbro acknowledges anymore.
Wear a Misfits fiend skull shirt, someone will get pissy with you and call you a part of the patriarchy because you acknowledge the originals.

With Janna now complete, we could now expect Reimu to be the next release in the line likely followed by the recolors or the announcement of Shammy and Clover 2.0 hopefully.Who would you like to be made next?
In figure news, Vania will hopefully come out later this month. Her samples arrived sometime last month so we should expect some more news on her. Janna is also up for PO at the moment and Emil's feminization kit has been out for about a month now.
Anyways feel free to share the adventures of your Poly's and have a good time.
Finally, welcome newcomers, we hope you enjoy your stay.

What have you got on your order or plan to order lists, /nintendo/?
Order: 4IN Volnutt, Figma Corrin, 4IN Shooting Star Rockman, MP3 Figma Samus, Figma Red, Nendoroid Blue Kirby
Plan: Figma Moon, Nendoroid Guardian
>>6476581
I currently have Figma Corrin, Revo Arthur, Nendo Lilie, Figma Red, Nendo Ash, and all the Mario Odyssey and BotW amiibos preordered.
I also have First4Figures' Majora's Mask preordered and their Link on King of Red Lions shipped out yesterday.
I will order Nendo Guardian and Lana, along with Figma Moon when they go up. Still deciding on the fuckhuge Exeggutor. I think it's really cool to see such a large Pokemon in (rough) scale with my other figures, but at the same time, the price tag is hard to justify. Then again, the F4F statues were around the same, so who knows?
