I'm hunting Shockwaves atm so I can form a squadron of gun bots.

Also, I can find Groove and Wreck-Gar pretty damn easily just about anywhere

>>5694548
I won't be able to try to get him until next Friday, hopefully not every single store will be sold out by then

trying to find a fourth

>>5694560

Ah, so you're the reason I can't find any shockwaves

>>5694583

You can get him right on Amazon for $10-15 usually.

>>5694548
I just pre-ordered him from BBTS. It's overpriced as fuck but I don't have to try chasing him down 24/7.

>>5694588

Same here. I'll pay the shitter surchage fee for not being awake the night they decided to toss them online.

Fuck midnight release bullshit.

>>5694588
>>5694591
you faggots are the reason they mark it up in the first place.

>>5694604

Nah. $5-7 markup I can handle. Thats not buying a sandwich for lunch one day.

But those fuckwads selling him for $40+? I'd just say fuck it and let it rot and go Grooveless.

>>5694604
Dude they've been selling out in seconds everywhere. It's between paying a little more, staying up for weeks straight refreshing every online store, or not getting it at all.

The only reason BBTS has it at all is because the markup keeps scalpers from grabbing them all.

>>5694588
>It's overpriced as fuck but I don't have to try chasing him down 24/7.
When did $7 over retail become "overpriced as fuck"?

>>5694618

I'd call anything at near 50% markup over the usual price "overpriced". It's not expensive in the grand scheme of things, but it is overpriced when compared to any other MSRP Deluxe.

>>5694622
Especially with it being a really simple deluxe.

>>5694618
It's the price of a voyager dude. Don't pretend it's not overpriced.

I mean I get why it's priced that way and I'm still buying it, but I'm not going to delude myself into thinking I'm not overpaying. I'm just overpaying for a ton of peace of mind and saved time.

>>5694622
>but it is overpriced when compared to any other MSRP Deluxe.
It IS an online exclusive for us. Not to mention how fast it's selling out everywhere.

Just one of those things I never understand about the fandom. Yeah, I get not wanting to pay more than retail, but if you REALLY want it, then seven extra bucks is no big deal.

Just all reminds me of Master Fwiffo back in the Prime First Edition days carrying on and constantly whining about not being able to buy the toys despite being around online. The months long of constant whining was energy that could have been better spend just breaking down and ordering from eBay or something.

>>5694614
>or not getting it at all.
Honestly? That sounds the most sane, he's not a great toy and has more issues than most.
The only reason he is so sought after is sour grapes from November.
If he was a normal release I wager he would have glutted shelf space with Streetwise.

>>5694631
>price of a voyager
That's not helping your case considering voyagers are bigger and usually mean more engineering as well.

>>5694635
>The only reason he is so sought after is sour grapes from November.

Honestly, I want him more to use as a prop motorcycle for other figures. I wasn't buying a UW Defensor just for him, either.

you wait for the drop.
Even Break Neck and Sunslinger had a spell where they were going for retail price steadily with no instant demand, I got an extra of each because of it. Yes it shit back up but a lot of people got him cheap that didn't bite the bullet and payed 7+ extra because they feared never getting.
Groove here?
He's gonna glut space. He is showing stupid high demand and they will meet the print where it's online store fronts rather than brick and mortar stores that have to have room to begin with.
Also with the fresh hot shit of Titan Returns being less than a month away, Combiner Wars as a whole is going to take a dive in value for a while just like the thrilling 30 guys before them. and where Groove is in his own case of 6 he is going to get hit hard in value for awhile.

He is the worse deluxe for that. We have had 4 bikes deluxe molds that are better (5 if you count this guy)

>>5694653
I mean it's cool that you think that, but how's have no reason to assume that it WILL be dropping past what it already has. We have no dates and no communication from the company.

>>5694658

Yeah, but this one is also in the aesthetic I like (ie: not animated/prime/movieshit/rid stylized stuff) and also goes with the other CW figures I own.

He's going to be pulling triple duty as a prop, figure in his own right, and a combiner limb.

>>5694653
>you wait for the drop.
I'm perfectly willing to spend seven extra dollars to get him and be sure and not worry about possibly missing out and paying extra down the road.

I skipped Wildrider and Slingshot because I was planning on getting the Takara sets. I eventually decided against that because they were not really worth it to me, and by that point the Hasbro releases had gone too far in price for me.

I never intended on getting Takara's Defensor because I don't really want him. I'm getting rove though because I like how it looks and had Groove as a kid so a having a rare proper update is nice.

>>5694664
You also have the junkion mold.

>>5694678
"The evil pizzas were no match for a simple stoplight!"

>>5694662
It's true, you have no dick.
I'm not shooting in the dark here, this happens with every western TF toy series. The new stuff pops up, the old stuff specifically the stuff months and up before it take a hard dive in value including exclusives because people want the new stuff. And the communication is written on the walls, you would not put up August/October pre-orders unless you had confidence from your distributor that they were coming in.
I'll eat the crow if I'm wrong but it's been 6 for 6 since I watch these habits in the TF market happen and so far things take a pretty hard dive that first year they get replaced by the new line if they are not a convention exclusive but even then some of those do take a dip. Will it climb back up? Absolutely but unless you are flighty with your desires you will catch those toys you wanted for a good price without having to stay up at 4 am.

>>5694681

Still waiting for UW Devy to drop like a rock.

Or, failing that, CW Devy to hit $50. He was at $90-ish last Xmas...

>>5694692
>Still waiting for UW Devy to drop like a rock
did you miss the "western TF toy series" or were you serious? Easter TF toys stuff doesn't usually lower in value f it's exclusive or a know character and not an OC thing. Most of that is due to the genuine lower print run and limited access to western markets since it's literally an eastern market focused toy line.

>Or, failing that, CW Devy to hit $50.
That is a tad unrealistic however he has dip to $100 a few times in the last 3 months so I can see it drop back close to that a little bit before fall.

>>5694681

Well good luck with that, kiddo.

>>5694709
I've had plenty of luck already. I got Groove off the original $ 16 amazon listing so I'm in no need for more but when he drops back to that or less I'll grab another.
Im not trying to upset you anons I just get really frustrated when I see the same mistakes happen over and over again.

I suddenly had some sort of nostalgic impulse to continue the storylines I used to have as a kid for some reason.
How is Night Slash Cheetor?

>>5694713
So you be sayin that you caught groove during his .0001 seconds of availability, and that everyone else should just F5 the page night and day in case he ever gets listed again?

Damn. What a good idea.

>>5694548
I bought him at scramblecore. I feel for anyone who got stuck having to get him from big bad toy scalpers.

>>5694728
What are you talking about? I said I was lucky because that's what you tossed at me.
An anon link it here a few generals ago I follow the link and place and order.
I had luck and I bragged
And Im not telling you anything, you already made your choice, I'm just sharing that he wikll more than likely be back to that price or cheaper within the next few months. Titan Returns is going to make a lot of changing hands. Groove is literally the flavor of the month. The demand will drop but the supply was there
>>5694736
For starters Soundwave was a TRU exclusives tied to one storefront and that front had brick and mortar stores to stock and distribute the toy. Some places did get a glut of him while others got one shipment. He was not an online exclusive like groove that any store front can open an order to get
Unless you are talking the Takara one which I already shared the eastern market doesn't work like that over here.

>Did he ever get relisted in bulk again?
That hardly relates to my bigger point that was aimed at Groove specifically. A toy that is popping up on several sights and has Preoders as late as October. Soundwave didn't get that because -again- he was to a single store.

You claim I'm talking out my ass when you are clearly doing a mix of moving the goal post and grasping at straws.

>>5694754
Preorders get cancelled all the time. We were told the toy would release in May. Until official word is released pretending that it's actually coming out in October is just wishful thinking.

Fuck me, it seems like I actually DID manage to snag one of the Entertainment Earth CW Groove figs before it sold out. Unless EE somehow shipped the wrong thing, I just got an email with my FedEx shipping code for it. I'll keep you all posted if it turns out to actually BE him and post my thoughts on the figure in general when it gets here.

Meantime, good luck to everyone else trying to get him.

>>5694759
By your logic I could say it's wishful thinking to think he won't drop in price soon.
I get it, you stake your claim you paid extra because a fear that he might not drop but I will stand by what I said, I believe he will drop again, he will become more available and for a decent window any one that wants him for under $20 after shipping will get their chance.

>>5694762

Again. Nobody cares or asked for that.

Okay, then let him post. Don't tell him to shut up, he might actually have something valuable to contribute. Do you really think that nobody but oldfags like you are capable of running the discussion here? New users are the lifeblood of any community. Shut them out and the community grows stale and dies.

then why was Wreck Gar advertised with him?

>>5695162
Cancelled idea, something to promote him, take your pick.

You can fan mode him on, but nothing is mentioned on his box, his manual, and no safe obvious connection

Is Computron coming out as a set or its components will be sold normally but as part of Titan Wars?
Ultra Prime was a mistake.

>>5695138
and for the most part I agree it makes most online items easier to get assuming you have a credit card and a US address
As stupid as it sounds I was relieved when I heard Groove was going to be online distributed because that was a ensured shot at me getting more of that mold with no stress of having to store hunt and stress about if a store was even going to get it. And the online fronts of those store's exclusives are nightmares, TRU does one per exclusive and you are lucky they do a second run online. Target lists them but never offers them. I think Walgreen's is the only store that has an online stock that restocks regularly.

I agree 110% I would have been more sympathetic about it if the wave after it (Bruticus) was all heavy retools/new molds but it was just two decent amount retools (Swindle, Onslaught) one new mold and it was the worse of the line yet (Brawl) and two straight repaints (Vortex, Blast-Off) and it was followed by another pile of repaints with new heads and only one had a new tooled car hood.

No Q.C. issues really. The right arm elbow ratchet is 'slightly' more forgiving the the left, and the tabs in the legs are actually a bit too tight, but that's a GOOD thing. It means he won't go into exploding-leg mode as the combiner arm.

Almost to my chagrin, I've actually grown to like TFP Abominus over time. The individual bots are fun, especially Blot and Hungrr, but with a little reworking their combined mode is actually pretty ok. You can use the arms' waists as elbows and, while not really knee articulation, you get some like bent leg and foot articulation with Blot and Rippersnapper. He's just growing on me I guess.

Yeah really

I just check ebay out of curiosity and the cheapest buy it now was $35 used.

I get the others of that wave going price but I'm really lost how doughnut steel is in such demand
I thought most fans have greatly dislike the CW helicopter mold.

That sounds retarded, especially since the heli mold has that port problem.

>>5695254
I never got the Hasbro quickslinger and didn't feel like paying aftermarket ~$50 for a single deluxe so I just bought the UW one and resold my Hasbro limbs. Worked out to only about $100 for the uw set.

>>5695254
Im with >>5695258
if you are brave enough to buy all the limbs after mark up online then it make more sense to buy the UW.

>Basically a street fighter -- prefers using rotor blades for slashing Decepticons rather than for flying. Considers long-range air attacks unsporting, cowardly. Maximum speed: 400mph; range 1200 miles. Twin launchers fire "smart" rockets that seek targets based on encoded computer images. Uses photon pistol.

Hi, watched armada but couldn't stomach the cgi of the next 2.

Was anything mentioned about starscream/alexis in energon and cybertron?

Not gonna lie, I hoped for further developments

>>5695332
I haven't watched them since they aired and I was a kid then, but I think there was a small cameo of the Armada kids in the other two at some point and I THINK that they made reference to it in energon, but I might be misinformed there

>>5695329
Friendly yellow and blue.

Alexis (hot and grown up) had a cameo in energon.

Starscream got brainwashed (recurring thing in the show)

I think CW Shockwave would make a good Rung.

>>5695332
>Was anything mentioned about starscream/alexis in energon and cybertron?
No. If you were a robot in Energon you either got no character development at all, or got some which was then cancelled out by mindwiping.

>>5695360

I really wonder what they're gonna remold CW Shockwave as. You know they're gonna, the mold is too good to not reuse.

>>5695337
>>5695359

The reason for this is that in the Original Japanese version of Energon (Superlink) the Starscream is not the same Starscream, he's Nightscream and I believe he's a clone or a zombie.

if anyone ever wondered why Armada Galvatron became Energon Megatron and that didn't make any sense, in the original Japanese version Armada Megatron never renamed himself Galvatron and in Superlink he became Galvatron there hence the homage in design.

TLDR - Takara did things different than Hasbro had in mind and the ADR (dub) script writers were puzzled as fuck to what was happening.

>>5695389
>Takara did things different than Hasbro had in mind

It's not even Takara to blame but rather Takara's marketing branch. The Takara toy designers were wating the Omnicons to be evolved Mini-cons but marketing royally screwed that idea over.

>>5695389
>>5695389
Wait, so the japanese ones were actually related? I remember hearing that in the originals the series were totally unlinked [besides the human cameos or whatever]

>>5695393
>Omnicons to be evolved Mini-cons

Oh yeah I remember reading about that.

It's a shame, since that's a really cool idea.

>>5695394

Armada/Micron Legend and Energon/Superlink.

Yes

Cybertron/Galaxy Force, No....well not initially, it wasn't till like the end of the series they decided eh fuck it let's fit it in to the previous series somehow?

I mean Takara insists Car Robots is some how G1 related or that originally Animated was going to be a prequel to the live-action movies.

>>5695394
That's just for Cybertron/Galaxy Force.
>>5695389
>It's a popular rumor that the Starscream who appears in Super Link (the Japanese version of Energon) is not the original, but a clone. Popular, but entirely wrong. Although not explicitly referred to with the name "Starscream" in dialogue, he is identified as one of Megatron's former soldiers, randomly given a new name by Alpha Q, and things just roll on from there without a backward look.

>>5695513
The port stress thing is easily remedied. I don't like the copter mold because of the rotor position in robot and arm modes.

Maybe it's simply a case of budget. With how complicated RotF Leader Prime got, they had to ease up on sections they decided didn't need additional parts. A good example of this is the truck mode steps jutting out of Prime's legs; they could have easily made it a separate piece and gave it a pin hinge, but they ran out of money to add that in.

That one on the right of those figures that got a ton of hype when it was new, but seemingly got forgotten since. Obviously it looks very little like the movie model, but its still a cool figure.In all honesty I prefer a lot of the movie 1 toys over the cGI designs because they felt more solid. They just suffer from ugly kibble.

>>5696349
I feel like reusing the hand mold from 2007 prime would have remedied that no? The hands are the same size.

I only ever played with him once, but I remember having fun with that figure. It really helps that his design looks more like a stylized version of the movie look, rather than looking like someone's vain attempt at trying to replicate it (ie. 2007 Leader Prime).

>>5696361
Those old hands came in the large metal moulds for that specific toy. Copying it would have been just as expensive.

>>5696349
That feature on his legs was actually planned.

>Like several new-mold Revenge of the Fallen toys, Optimus Prime suffers from some cost-cutting measures that affected the final production version of the mold. According to Hasbro's stock photos/back-of-box photo of the hand-painted prototype, the toolboxes on the sides of his legs were designed to fold away further for a sleeker, cleaner look. Additionally, the rear tires would have been able to split in half, with the inner half of the tire going inside the outer half to recreate the thin tires seen on Prime's CG design. Some articulation was lost on the toy between Hasbro stock photography and the final release. His fingers are no longer articulated; instead, the entire hand is now one molded piece. Finally, the lower arms appear to have been originally designed so that his hands could slide in or out of them during transformation. Sadly, he also lacks rubber tires, which the original movie Prime did have.

Nigger wat. My 2007 prime does not have rubber tires and I got that guy new from walmart all those years back.

>>5696382
I think it's got very dense rubber that's easily mistaken for plastic. But it's been a number of years since I sold mine.

I've got mine beside me right now, and yeah, its rubber tires mate Very thick rubber, but rubber nonetheless.

Its actually pretty good, considering its been sitting around for almost a fucking decade now but those tires are in prime [badum tsh] condition

When I was a kid, like 11 or so, and Animated was airing season 1, I had this really weird dream about an episode where Saki gets a big crush on Prime and confesses to him but he doesn't really understand and then she confides the whole thing to ratchet who gives her a lesson in tough love and says it just doesn't work between organics and cybertronians.

It was weird, but it's stuck with me all these years, I have no idea why I had that dream, I didn't even ship it

>till you wanted to make an argument
when was that implied that i wanted to argue? why would i wanna argue here anyway?

in any case, dont worry about it anon. you won an extremely specific, unneeded argument on 4chan. you accomplished something
i really hope it made your day, have a fucking good one

>>5696477
Right here >>5696169


Then you just didn't want to talk about it after proved wrong instead of just admitting it. Is your pride that high?

>>5696479
i dont see how that instigated an argument? it didnt seem to me as an rotf toy, cause it didnt say rotf on the box. that is it.

why did you take my post as a slight against you?

>>5696481
But you were then proved wrong and instead of admitting it you just tried to make it something else. Again. Its okay to admit when you are wrong.

>>5695560

As do I. I am sort of surprised it wasn't done before my pic, to be honest.

It's funny how you can tell what era a Shattered Glass character comes from just by looking at him.

>the early years
New toys in appropriate colors, repurposed toys, obscure homages

Decepticon X in the colors of Autobot Y and vice versa

Yet you could've just been done instead of doing what you did. You still make no sense.

>>5696565
I thought the decos were almost always obscure homages. The recent comic depicting SG Tailgate and Swerve uses their decos from like brazil or somewhere.

>>5696568

That's not the point. He could've been done with this hours ago, but his ego wouldn't let him. He then says he feels bad but again he could've been done with it. Then when he does admit it he likes to act like a smartass and then tries to act like he had zero chances to deal with it and that he's some sort of victim.

I get what you're saying, but I never acted like I could've stopped this. I knew I could've. But look at his "oh pity me" responses acting like he couldn't have done it and that he's "sorry".

Hey don't shitpost as me you imposter! But yeah it does feel good to know I was right and Groove is going to all who can wait for a listing rather than feed bad mark ups. However Im sure some will pay the extra now for the "early tax" or whatever the term used is.

>>5696565
I miss early Shattered Glass using repurposed UT molds(often ones that where homages to the original characters) because Classics was barely a line at that point. It had the effect of making it feel like the SG versions weren't just palette swaps, but that in the alternate universe different personalities and paths meant they got different bodies.

>Megatron has a "Roller"(the tank), and has a body that is more "super robot", like PowerMaster Optimus, star Convoy, armada, Optimus, etc because he is the "good" leader.
>Starscream stayed a scientist on Cybertron, so he keeps his cybertronian altmode
>Soundwave is a chill guy so he has a very down to earth vehicle mode that's used for a band
>Blurr is a reserved, calculated warrior so he has Armada Blurr's mold with it's trenchcoat look
>Goldbug/Bumblebee clawed his way to the top and isn't the tiny one of the autobots so he has a strong, "regular" sized body

>>5696612

Isn't that the whole point though? In the comics they're all members of the same team. She's goofy but the fact that they all have the same colorscheme make Victorion nicer looking overall.

Defensor is a good example of a shared palette. Victorion is just a bit too lazy. That sword is super cool though.

I feel like a lot is lost when seeing it in photos as opposed to in person. The paint looks very nice in person and there's actual paint on plastic rather than colored plastic.

Plus the feet finally have a swivel, which surprisingly fixes the balancing issue Defensor had, at least without buying a PE kit.

And that headsculpt is so beautiful.
