>>5305640
Yes, for a Stomp N' Chomp RID Grimlock, T-Rex Prime from Rescure Bots, and a few of the other Rescue Bots.

As always, we never get shit for the line's we want.

From the Thumbnail, I thought it was Ryan Gosling, but on closer examination, it appears to Gerard Butler.

> Click the peg out a few clicks so it is at an angle. This locks the waist forward. Now, look at the back. Normally the turret locks into the back via two pegs. Don't do that. Instead, press the bottom down. You see that peg that is normally used to attach his foot-hand-gun to him in vehicle mode? That can slot into a cut on his waist for the waist swivel, locking his waist from the back. You lose the waist swivel in robot mode but now Brawl's waist is more or less secure.

>>5305733

Not even sure if thats supposed to be a transformation for it. It looks wonky, look at how the legs look. It might just be mistransformed halfway into gestalt bodybot mode, since body mode is supposed to use the lynx head isn't it?

>>5305737

A firm waist in exchange for no swivel? Nice workaround without much sacrifice.

>>5305742
It probably is, since it hasn't been shown in any promo shots.

Just got my hands on that base version of Grimlock, I thought I'd like him more, but that dino mode does leave a lot to be desired, maybe that's because of the fucking amazing looking Planet X Grimlock they did, I'd get that, if it was within my budget.

I think the AOE grimlock is a better figure (though this one does have better Robot arms/hands).

>fanart

no

>>5305790

FoC Grimlock is honestly the best Grimlock toy in ages (not counting MP's). Yeah, he's got the big hollow chest, but it's to fit in the dino bits in robot mode, and both modes look pretty good as long as you're not staring directly into the chest hollow.

And if it bothers you that much you can go spend $40 on a $26 toy to fix it like >>5305780
did.

>>5305797
I do agree that this is the current official best take on a g1-esque grimlock.

Unfortunately, there's not really any modern g1-style Grimlock toys besides MP, FOC, and Classics, so I suppose that's not too hard to achieve. Then again, maybe we'll eventually get Generations Dinobots. I don't know what's holding them back- they're far more iconic than most of the combiners or any of the Headmasters for that matter.

I guess I'll wait until Hasbro makes new Terrorcons to retool into them in god knows how many years.

Can someone with legion class gold armour Grimlock post a few closeups of his head? Preferably clear, higher res than seibertron's pics of the normal version, and from various angles.

Also, BW retool of any dinobot toy when?

>>5305983
Speculation says that Legends Gears was originally going to be Brawn, but Hasbro didn't want to have two green guys in that Legends wave (other was Acid Storm). The head for Gears certainly looks more like Brawn's than anything.

Brawn was also supposedly a "cancelled" Legends figure along with a Legends Sharkticon.

Maybe we'll get a new mold that'll be used for a Legends Brawn/Outback.

>>5306004
AoE Slash and Grimlock are getting recolors as Dinobot and Megatron for 2016 exclusive.

>>5306008
But wasn't Acid Storm going to be Thundercracker and they switched to Acid Storm so not two blue guys in the same wave?

That would make a pretty nice War Within Grimlock.

>>5306001
You kidding? That thing's proportions are absolutely terrible. At least the iGear one goes with Classics since it's the same size as Bumblebee, and it looks right.

Finally got a hold of Megatronus today. I think he's pretty decent for the standards of Warrior class, but his sword accessory is pretty pathetic, but other than that, I love it.

Better that than having Headmaster versions of Slapdash and Spinister

What does it matter if it's a retool or repaint? As long as it works, that's all that matters.

>>5306042
I think it's more likely that we are gonna see Hardhead remolded into Shockwave desu.

>>5306042
Hasbro wouldn't let Funpub do Impactor if that was planned.

>>5306062
They let them make Sandstorm

>>5306042
Can't cook the rook

>>5306059
As in Animated Shockwave? Might be cool. Maybe he could come with two headmasters- a Shockwave head, and a Longarm Prime head, kinda like Armada Sideways.

Is Lambor any good?

>>5306080
That would be pretty nice as well, but I was thinking of Prime Shockwave.

>>5306113
Except for the fact that the Machine Wars characters not being the same as the original ones was a retcon created by Funpub.

>Too bad your theory falls apart with some of the other MW guys not being the original versions before Fun Pub did anything with them.

Regardless of that, it's STILL not G1 Sandstorm. Hasbro isn't going to care if they do some lame repaint/different mold variant.

>>5306124
>Yellow helicopter called Sandstorm released just before they release a yellow helicopter called Sandstorm

>>5306128
It's camo green with a dark tan. And it's a movie style toy. It doesn't encroach on what Hasbro did with Sandstorm.

>>5306130
On top of that, one is a rotor style helicopter, the other is a turbine style. And one's a triple changer. It's got more than enough differences.

Speaking of Fun Pub and Machine Wars, just grabbed the 2013 Botcon set for $140 shipped from the club store since the three figures I did want (Strika, Obsidian, and Skywarp) cost the same alone, and apparently Megaplex goes for like $70 on ebay so it should be somewhat easy to flip some of the cost back.

Lets chill and talk about toys instead of complaining about secondary material.

Autobot symbol on the shoulder... the only thing its missing is a representation of the grill abs and window boobs.

Doesn't mean its good, but I fail to see how its any worse than the animu femail starscream.

Legs would instead be modeled after a turbine which split in half to have skirt armor and the actual leg parts acordion out from it, with feet being fans with two folded together for the front of the foot and 3 being used as heels kind of like how Whirl's are and a attached by a swivel joint.

How come Springer's Lightsaber isn't translucent plastic?

>>5307531
They choose to mold it in one piece. However, for the injection molding process, you need to keep the part below a certain thickness (ard 3mm for transformers). Thus the 1-piece parts have to be hollowed out in some places.

>>5307543
You mean for parts like that it's not a 2 piece mold? Just a single piece of steel that the plastic is poured(?) into?

>>5307596
The steel mold is still 2 halves, but the weapon itself is made entirely out of a single component. If they want non-hollow, large weapons, they have to make it out of 2 or more components.

There was a flash sale for Plat. Trypticon earlier on Amazon. I missed it though. CW Ultra Magnus sale when? C'mon Amazon, you cheap fucks.

Mostly scalpers, the few decent ones are ruined by postage as they bump them just past rrp.

Second hand ones are always a concern since they charge them off the same as new ones in some cases, better off with mandarake or yahoo auctions if you want a second hand bot otherwise stay away from ebay

Ebay's not that bad. Between it and Amazon I can usually find good deals. Just theres a LOT of retards on Ebay. Like, people who don't even bother to check the price of shit they put up on auction and hope to snag some brainless buyers, but it never could work because the shit is listed right next to stuff for half the price.

Look no further than at the fucking CW Combaticon's right now to see it in action: Retards listing them for $25+like $6 shipping right beside people selling them at about MSRP, sometimes with free shipping to boot. The system would work a Hell of a lot better if they also instituted some sort of control on shipping prices. All the time I'll find shit at a "low" price, only for the seller to have added some ridiculous shipping cost to it to frequently bring it over in price than anything else in the same catagory.

tl;dr Compare prices and wait for people who actually put out good deals.

I really find that pricing competitively doesn't help toys move. If it's not eBay hiding the listings, it's the buyers being complete and utter poorfags. Even at toy shows, people are just cheap as fuck. They won't touch anything under $10 and even then act like they're doing you a huge favor.

He's fine, I do think I paid a bit more for it than I would expect but for me he's a bit of my holy grails so it's kinda worth it.

>>5308177
>fair price

The idea of a fair price between sellers and buyers is vastly different. Heres an easy guide for anything somewhat new-ish. Vintage shit :

Is it new, unopened, and selling for MSRP? No? Then it's too high, don't be a scalping shit. No wonder no one wants to buy from you, and no one gives a shit about your operating costs.

Is it open/used/etc? It better be fucking below MSRP by at least 30-40%.

>>5308206
*non-vintage shit

>>5308206
It's MISB and they are doing it closely to the MSRP with the taxes and freight shipping slapped on it. They are legit businesses and not just some guy who woke up one day and decided to sell his collection.

Also sometimes we sell a $300 for $50 bucks cause he wants it gone and people still haggle him for $30 or something.

>>5308148
Yeah, no, I have a distribution account. I hate scalpers because they screwed me out of toys for years and part of my motivation to do this was to throw a monkey wrench in their operations.

>>5308221

Well do me a favor then and throw a bunch of full 5 man Combaticon sets on EBay for their combined regular already so I can stop sifting through these fucking morons trying to scalp Deluxe figs for $25 a pop and the one Britbong trying to sell an Onslaught for $60.

>>5308221
This is why my buddy is trying to get out of Transformers and only orders a couple every now and then and usually just orders it for me since I can get mine for almost the wholesale cost and not the MSRP after the import charges and crap. He's been selling what he has left for under MSRP now just so he can get his cost back and drop it. He makes more selling SHF/Kamen Rider/Sentai and other stuff than Transformers. The market for Transformers has been saturated by scalpers and other dealers that can get a wholesale price for even more better than him.

>>5308227
CW? Oh are they already scalping it for $25 each? Damn. I waited for TRU Canada to have a sale before I even bought my Defensor limbs and I hunted through Kijiji to find a Hot Spot MISB under $30. Surprisingly Kijiji, Craigslist or whatever local meetup thing do work, just make sure to do it around a lot of people.

>>5308153
Sorry, the real world does that to people. You try to give people the benefit of the doubt and they fall into stereotypes anyway. Set up at a con some time and meet some walking stereotypes. It's crazy.

Also, the organizer of this one con I go to is Jewish and looks like the merchant graphic. He also charges full freight for helpers and $12 for a second chair. No other con I know of does that. I'm an irregular attendee but biting the bullet one more time because online sales have been so crazy poor this year and I don't know what else to do.

>>5308227
I can't. Entertainment Earth posted their listing for November, took my money, and then changed the date to January. I don't even know what fucking color Brawl and Onslaught I'll be getting when that shakes out now.

Totally legitimate - last year I was selling Arcees and Chromias for $19.99 when everybody else was scalping the hell out of them.

>>5308235
>>5308249

The Combaticon's people are trying to scalp because they're not widely available in stores yet, is my guess. Haven't even really seen any Onslaughts for sale anywhere unless it was in a set with Scattershot, which no one ever seems to buy because no one wants Scattershit.

The Superion limb-bots are running around fucking $40-60 at times even though anyone with half a brain can get the UW Superion set for around like, $120 if they shop a bit.

Not much scalping that I've seen with Menasor or Defensor, seems both those no one wants/gives a shit about? No idea why they're not being scalped to Hell and back. Same with Prowl/Mirage/Ironhide/Sunstreaker, they're pretty cheap because apparently, no one wants them. I got all 4 of them for less than MRSP, brand new, with free shipping to boot.

>>5308249
I remember finding a lone Arcee at the wal-mart near my local mall last year. I guess you could've called it a "christmas miracle", considering I live in a hillbilly town with typically piss-poor distribution.

>>5308268
>>5308255
Am I the only one that wants Scattershot? He could be nice with a repainted gestalt head and chestplate.

>>5308193
I was actually fucking about with Fortress Maximus the other day and done the same thing.

>>5308273

Probably. His body mode just looks terrible and he probably isn't even going to get a full gestalt team.

>>5308231
Oh I totally get that. After I wind this down, I'll keep ordering a few cases of Takara MPs here and there. That's a line I really enjoy.

Supposedly, EE has Hasbro Direct pricing now. But the margins are still pretty poor. Unless, as >>5308255 says, you held onto certain toys and they blew up. But for every Air Raid there's ten that the demand vanishes with the hype. And I don't want to be that guy anyway; I wanted to fight the lousy distribution system I suffered under for years.

>>5308273
No, I ordered that bundle on BBTS too. It probably helps that I didn't bother with Silverbolt. Because, weirdly I guess, I liked the Universe version.

There was a point where best tier pricing on ML/SWB was so bad that the shipping charge put you over MSRP. And that was before you opened the case to find that hideous slave Leia or 2 unsellable Winter Soldiers. Best thing Hasbro ever did was offer solid cases...and then they pulled the plug on it. If you're browsing EE now and see a solid case, it's most like a repack of toys they couldn't sell.

the flash kinda kills it, but I did that with my RID Fort Max forever ago.

Now take it one step further.

I'll try and get a better photo

so i have the option of gettin 4 limbs for my cw motormaster or getting a masterpiece.

was thinkin of getting a 3rd party bombshell.

what would you guys do?

>>5308327
The Bombshell. Menasor is a floppy mess and you'll be disappointed with the overall gestalt.

>>5308327
Which Masterpiece?

sorry meant bombshell 3rd party, its pretty much a masterpiece to me anyway.

but masterpiece grimlock is pretty fuckin dope

>>5308327
>>5308332
Menasor's only good if you invest in third party parts to make him less shitty, but with the PE upgrade kit, his thighs won't be able to move as much.

>>5308343
>but with the PE upgrade kit, his thighs won't be able to move as much.

spot on, once you get the upgrade kits he's almost like his g1 self with a bit more articulation. he looks nice on display though.

>>5308342
Eh, I was never a fan of the Insecticons. I like the handful of CW deluxes I've picked up but you'll probably be happier with the Bombshell.

>>5308342
>but masterpiece grimlock is pretty fuckin dope

you can get the oversized ko for around 110 he scales well with mp 10

How articulated is Menasor with that alt leg configuration? Anyone got pics?

>>5308200
'sup inbred hick?

>>5308378
me either, but since i played devastation i just love what they did with them.

bombshell is my favorite out of them.

i've just been wanting a new toy and i cant think of anything else but shit i've seen in the video game

Depends how you do it, with his legs like pic related you have less of a wide stance but when the thighs are rotated its a wider stance but he can move his leg up.

>an additional $50-80 bux per combiner for better feet/extra stuff
>each combiner is around $100-140 depending on where you get it from or if you import a UW set

How do you people afford all this, goddamn. I kind of want to get the PE hands/feet but they're so fucking expensive, and I'd need 4 sets of them (Menasor, Superion, Defensor, Bruticus) if I wanted all my combiners up at once, or two sets if I wanted to cheap it out (Menasor for the purple/probably a black fist one for Defensor/Superion).

Pic related, it's me.

>>5308401

Just have good taste and don't like those shitty oversized feet and it will save you $50 right there.

>>5308401
Personally I only pay for upgrades for my all time favorites, superion doesn't get any because he's stable enough as is. don't like defensor and bruticus is the last thing in cw and my childhood combiner so he gets everything.

besides liokaiser or some other unexpected shit hasbro throws out Im done with cw.

>>5308409

But they do look like they add a lot more stability and poseability.

The worst looking part is the fists. So small and shitty looking compared to the big, meaty default fists.

You can always cannibalize an energon Jetfire to make this mod getting better hip articulation and keeping waist rotation.
