Anyone have any experience from buying transformers toys off from kijiji?
Am I supposed to tell them what I want to buy before meeting them in person?

Have you seen the shit packaging for the TR toys? It's just tragic. Really, Hasbro? This is what we're down to? Cutting corners on the toys wasn't enough? Now this?

>>5862593
Why the hell are you complaining about the packing? The only reason you'd care, is if you're worried people are going to steal them and stores will stop stocking them due to that.

Other SoCal anons, is distribution here just fucked in general? The last time that releases here were consistent was during the first Beast Hunters series. I've been to four or five Wal-Marts and Targets and there's either nothing there or just barely a few figures from the current wave, Are people just fast and snatch them up that quickly or do the stores not really give a shit? I mean, it's not like I can't buy online so it's not really an issue.

>>5862631
Go back holy shit

>>5862631
I hope you didn't visibly show excitement or else he'll raise the price for other stuff on you.

It's starting to trickle out, TRU's are current, but that's TRU. Some walmarts are getting the first wave.

I've bought and sold on Kijiji before. Honestly, it varies from seller to seller. If someone has put up a giant bin of stuff up for sale, I can understand asking to drop by their place to rummage and make an offer. If they have a clear list of stuff for sale, I would generally ask to buy the specific things you want and to meet up somewhere to do the sale.

Would people recommend getting sentinel prime even i aleady plan to get Astrotrain?

Any Australians?

I'm not part of the local tf forums but I'm just reporting kmart got in the dino rescues bots, I saw the preview of optimus as a trex and thought we wouldn't get that shit here.

Popped into my 24/7 kmart and I found this and a bumblebee, neither scanned (someone rammed them on a $29aud shelf but the tag was for a minicon deployer) but after a bit of sweet talking the cashier gave it to me for $13.

I love the fact he turns into a T-rex, but I was not prepared for the fact all of his transformation lies in twisting his waist around, also weird paint apps for the teeth which while symmetrical don't match the box art.

I'm so glad I found this, rescues bot anon, you gonna get this guy too?

If any Australian anons in Victoria are on and want the bumblebee, look where the rid2015 warriors are, I shifted him behind some stuff nearby, can't miss him, if you can make out what store I got it from try your luck, just don't claim the ticket said $13, I only got off because I was in rival retail gear and played the whole "oh I can only accept this price if you're allowed" speech when they were looking around the system, I doubt its worth $13 considering how overpriced everything is.

Anyway, enough blogging, its a kids toy optimus that turns into a t-rex and its awesome just because it is

That's a reissue if i'm not mistaken. They rotate the old molds quite often and reissue them alongside new ones.

If you like that optimus-rex, then you might be interested in the basic-sized dinosaurs based on the four main rescue-bots.

>>5863068
Really, well I've never seen him here before.

>basic sized

Hrm...tell me does...chase, I think it was have one?

Or whatever the one voiced by the va who does Albert Wesker, it'd be the only other figure I'd ever want from the line

Yeah these four. They were from 2 years back or whenever AoE was but I saw them being reissued 2 months back.

There's also large, voyager-sized-ish versions of Dino Optimus and Dino Heatwave with lights and sound.

>>5863070
>voyager-sih optimus prime
Faaark, I'd be wrapped if that came here (less than $50 I hope), got a feeling we might miss these basics as they move VERY slowly here (still on gold armor one steppers clogging the shelves where I got my optimus prime) but I'll look for that chase figure.

Does anyone got a fix to the new Astrotrain mold's feet.

The rest of the body is great, but the damn locomotive feet dangling upside down on the back of the leg is just ridiculous and hard to ignore.
Some kind of 3d cap attachment or just cut it off and glue it upside down?

>>5863096
From what I heard from reviews, the train side does not hold as feet as the shuttle nose's curve makes unstable.

Well you can stabilize them on the train side it's just you can't close the front cafe. Here's a pick showing what it looks like

>unstable.
Maybe that's a physical representation of what the character is about.

>>5863125
That's pretty deep for an Astrotrain recolor.

Beetle mode is the best. The big mandibles really do it for me, and the stable legs make him much less of a hassle to mess with than Bombshell.

Why do you think it's bad, anon? Is it because you don't think the Skrapnel mold suits the character, or because the mostly red color scheme is too dull?

>>5863155
Both. Chop Shop doesn't look like Shrapnel, and the red color scheme, while mostly accurate, isn't very interesting

>>5863164
I can see where you're coming from. The look really grew on me though since he was first announced last year. The dull red makes him look more like a real beetle in bug mode. And the reuse is fine with me since I have no attachment to the character, but that's just me.

All they needed to do to make me truly believe this was Chop Shop was remold the pincers and it would have been a thousand times better. Also make it brown instead of red-orange. I still like it as it is, though

Is Apeface in US stores yet? I can't seem to find him anywhere.

When will HTS and (direct) Amazon get in TR stuff?

>>5863228
Amazon got TM's and the Legends in the last couple of days.

They also unofficially sold Fortress Maximus for some reason, despite still taking pre-orders for him.

>>5862482
I understand the Trump meme but how does Dio figure into all this?

>>5863233

Sentinel's TM can stop time. He's literally Dio Trump: The robot action figure.

>>5863233
His TM has time stop powers that work for a limited time.

The comic revealed the heads could eat sparks and use that energy to power a body for thousands of years.

>>5863235
>>5863239
It's not exactly time stop, it's more of slowing time down. The exact extent of this power is never revealed though, so technically we could assume he could with enough effort slow time down to a point that it's practically frozen

>>5863856
I still appreciate the Hasbro heads for attempting to replicate the look of the toy heads, even if they aren't perfect. People

say they barely look like them, but I think they're being willfully obtuse. They say the shapes barely match and they take too many liberties, but it was inevitable. The limited engineering of the 80's meant the Headmaster heads had to be proportioned a certain way, with giant helmet tops and small faces. The TR heads tweek the proportions to be more in line with the regular TF head proportions we've become accustomed to.

I'm buying some Takara Legends stuff, sure. I ordered Skull, and a few more like Ginrai and Blurr. But as far as most regular deluxes go, I can't say the Takara stuff seems worth it. I already felt like $~42 shipped for skull was a gut punch..he's not going to be worth the price of similar figures.

>>5863880

I don't see how, though. Like I said, the original Headmaster heads ate weirdly proportioned. I can see you getting different takes on them depending on who you ask to "normalize" them One person may see a huge vent as intentional, another may see it as a stylistic thing. So a huge vent becomes a tiny crest on TR. I can deal with that. It fits what I'm used to with Classics updates.

It's true. We got Firtess Maximus months befire anything else from the line showed up, then we go Titan Masters before any if the body figures, which have only just now started showing up at the most expensive retailer only. Deluxes only, no Legends, Voyagers or Leaders in sight.

Its not too hard to figure on our end, at least. the last two waves of Legends/deluxe CW figures are lingering,as are a few Voyagers from the middle. MEanwhile, Titan Masters and Fort Max are in two size classes that either where absent in CW, or have long since sold through(Devastator). Titans Return launching in Summer as a bad idea, these types of launches have always been tricky in the 15+ years I've been collecting.

Its a forklift thing.

I think retailers are still adjusting to combiner wars' seeming massive success. For the longest time Classics lines just bounced between selling fast and just stagnating for several months on a single wave. Combiner Wars was the first one I saw(and heard, all anecdotal of course) selling through each quarter as intended. You wouldn't see a toy from Wave 2 or 3 linger months later, they where just gone. For retailers, this is just a non-movie tie in line so they don't see why they should order more than usual. they expect liens like this to longer. Even if they notice, they're low priority orders.

Gonna be interesting to see what they can do to keep up this success with the next line.

>>5864012
Looks good, maybe paint some orange on the red bits.

>>5864027
>Combiner Wars was the first one I saw(and heard, all anecdotal of course) selling through each quarter as intended.

I think you're right, Combiner Wars was actually the first Classics/Universe whatever series where I actually saw every single wave in stores and consistently.

I suggested doing a straight G1 reboot on /co/, and they just laughed at the idea. but its really what the franchise needs. Its ridiculous that G1 continues to be the lifeblood of the franchise, yet an actual G1 based newcartoon has yet to happen. All the new alterations and takes on characters just makes things more confusing for people getting into the franchise, especially when things will gravitate to a take on G1 anyway.

RiD isn't bad, but its 2 seasons in and its still just a dead slot on the Network, loosely tied to a failed flagship show of a dead network. 6+ years deep into that universe and it hasn't really ignited any interest. Hasbro needs a more focussed, dedicated animated effort.

There's no reason to have a "Cartoon line" and a "Classics" line. The novelty of a stylized aesthetic that started with animated is over. The show can still be stylized to a degree(you pretty much have to with 2D) , but let the toys still look like the usual aesthetic. It was fine in the RiD-Cybertron years.

Not really. Aesthetically it takes a lot from the movies, albeit less complex. There's a lot of skewed proportions and design work that's more complex than a regular series would be.

> And Anime things had a bunch strange looking characters like the Autobot brothers, Scavenger and Side Swipe, or half the non-Cybertron and Earth native

Toy wise they looked what we were used to. The autobot Brothers where kibbly and asymmetric, but that's just a holdover from BW Neo. Armada's aesthetic was pretty close to the vehicle stuff we had seen up until then.

>"Relax kiddo, oil prices are high so we need to save money on paint apps. Besides, they'll buy it anyways"

>>5864116
Because he's practical and isn't impeded by following the stagnating approach Archer and company fell into. In the incessant desire to continue to do new things , it was getting to the point where basic things like combiners weren't getting updated in order to do things like pad out the movie lines, or launch another cartoon. The new team seem more on the pulse of what fans like, but while also doing stuff that's playable and would appeal to kids. There's no "kids need Bumbleebee and Optimus!" mentality. Or at least, that's saved for RiD.

>>5864096
Yeah, one of those three bricks has a gimmick.

In all honesty though, there is definitely a distinct style difference between G1 and the Unicron Trilogy, but we've gotten so many more radical style shifts over the years (Bayformers, Animated, possibly High Moon) that the Armada designs look more G1 in comparison.

>>5864110
I'm happy we're finally getting a decent looking legends bumblebee. The other one was too "futuristic" looking and the head was disproportionately small.

>>5864130

Warden's team still does Bee and Optimus, but they understand that you shouldn't smother the whole line with them. At one convention he said that Transformers will always have its legacy characters like Prime and Megatron, and as such they'll be putting out new versions every few years.

That means an Optimus and Megatron in T30, and in CW, and in TR, but muh less frequently than there used to. No Nitro Bumblebee, or Dark Energon Megatron, or what have you.

To anyone who owns the new Titans Returns Legends Ravage, is it better than the CHUG Ravage that came with Hound? I'm debating on buying it but the wings on him, the head, and the lack of an actual tail really kill it.

>>5864197
It has too much plastic compared to a modern toy.

>>5864064
The cartoon is ending with RID. It'll just be the annual Movie line, Generations and Rescue Bots

>>5864154
But not at the rates we where getting before. And in sensible size classes, no leader bumblebee nonsense. Doing one figure of those a year in each line is sensible; they're core characters. Gotta have the main leader and right hand man for new fans. Classics was getting to he point where trying to get through the backlog of classics releases would cost a new fan hundreds of dollars.

The thing about Transformers as a line that lets it have hundreds of characters is that grunt characters carry the line as much as most prominent ones; not like superhero toylines. A kid buys a random car Autobot like, say, Hound,and he can make him as important in his stories as he wants to. In the 07-2010 era, It was clear who the main heroes where, Optimus and Bumblebee. They're shown as the best and get the most fanfare and must get the best toys, right? So a kid, who probably isn't going to be able to get many transformers, gets to pick out a toy, he'll go for the best; Optimus or Bumblebee. That makes the other characters linger.

>>5864213
Battle Core Optimus Prime.

>>5864207
I don't know, it felt pretty tiny and short on plastic for the time. It'd probably fit right in the modern era. I remember thinking it felt like a total downgrade from Energon Starscreama t the time, and had no idea what oldfags on forums saw in him.

>>5864212
Right. It'll probably be a reboot and hopefully with a larger production budget and toy line. The current show is such a dead-end they are not going to do a direct sequel.

>>5864220
You mean the stealth Nova/Ulra Magnus homage? Ok, I admit I screwed up the "one figure a year in each line" thing by overlooking that. still, it's a far smaller use of recourses than doing a whole different sculpt across several sizeclasses like, say, DOTM did.

>>5864221
It doesn't fit in the current lineup where you have Voyager Triple Changers and Constructicons. Sure you could go deluxe scaled and they work, but currently there is too many holes or weak/crummy molds for a deluxe scale collection compared to a scaled up one.

>>5864205
I wouldn't call it better than Universe Ravage. Buy it if you like Ravage a lot, or if you want fodder for Leader Soundwave, but not if you're looking to replace the old one.

>>5864212
>>5864227
Having a cooldown time of a couple years where they pump out mostly remakes of old guys seems like a decent thing. Then having a different style for the cartoon of 2020 or whatever will have more impact and hopefully have a distinct feeling.

>>5864251
I believe that was largely the intent of RID given the lack of attention and investment in the toyline and the b-listers running the show with the endgame for Hasbro to develop a new and better show to air on CN.

>nb4 Galvatron is the remold from Galvatron for his old canon mode and a new jet mode

>>5864500
Perceptor is the remold from Galvatron, I mean.

>>5864501
>>5864500
hate to disappoint but Perceptor will be a deluxe

>>5864497
Maybe I'm the minority, but I'd like to see some updated altmodes, like a spy satellite for Preceptor, or a Soyuz rocket for Astrotrain.
Sort of like what they do with the movie lines, but with CHUG-like designs.

Just what we need, more of the shelf warmers with even more overpriced shit kids don't want.

Wasn´t he on the leaked list? Hardhead and Blaster would be the easier remolds.

Soon on TR wave 4, straight repaint.

>>5863314
Holy shit he's shorter than I thought he'd be.

>>5864518
Leak swears he's a new mold, so I'd wager a heavy retool of hardhead and not just a repaint.

Leader class, somewhat 1:1 sized microscope?

>>5864525
I'm a bit surprised they haven't been using the Hardhead mold for all it's worth. It's extremely easy to replace the cockpit area, and the front of the vehicle with something else.

I'd be really easy to make it a normal tank, or a crazy car with treads.

>>5864530
I love that mold as much as I loved rook, I would buy every single retool/repaint of it and yet we are seeing absolutely NOTHING. What gives?! Shit, I'd even buy a Tankor from that mold.

It's confirmed with an image not on my phone, it's decorated like the sdcc but blue stickers\tampos instead.

>>5864555
Looks good, shame they couldn't work their magic to include a gun for him.

>>5864534
I never bitched about repaints in CW and I'm not bitching about no repaints in TR, all I'm saying is that if they continued the CW trend of repaints and retools aplenty I would gladly buy every hardhead mold.

What I love about the current developers team is that they're going for G1 toy accuracy. Things are looking bright for TR Perceptor.

Unlike for CW, I actually don't mind the mold reusage mentality for this line. I can't wait for Krok, Quake and possibly Magnificus.

Fucking based Takara.

>>5864518
Quake is the retool of Hardhead. So Peceptor is probably a brand new mold.

>>5864518

Leakers have confirmed that Perceptor is a new mold.

I wish steeljaw was retooled to be better, he's a cool looking design, and just, unserved by the stupid toy.

>>5863898
This guys comes here, posts a photo of toys he just dumped there, still in plastic bags, asks for people to identify them while most of them are easily identifiable with a little Google magic. And you just sat down and did your best to help him. That's why.

>>5864716
Unless you have a bad memory or poor recognition skills, it's not anything difficult to identify them.

Thankfully that lame forced-meme spewing anon hasn't watched RiD. While Steeljaw is not a bad character, and is actually a legit threat at times, he's been cucked all over in both the show and the merchandise.

>>5863977

I still haven't seen any Legends yet or deluxes.

I did find two Titan Masters both were from wave 2.

Rewind and Wheelie I hope won't be difficult to find.

>>5864728
And that's exactly why he should have done it himself. Or asked for help properly.

It ain't pretty like the hasbro limited edition but still has more color than the SDCC one which has gold patterned stickers only on the side bits

>>5864036

western animation OVA's would be cool.

So who are all the "headmaster warriors"? I know of kirk, rodney, lione, and shuffler

>Get myself a reissue G1 figure
>Going through all the sprues scars with a razor

I know most original G1 toys rarely survive to modern era with their die cast part fully covered in paint.
So, should I use a sticker to cover the scratched part up or just completely ignore it?

Yes, I got OCD

>>5864759
>Yes, I got OCD

Replace the figure. Literally the only option. You will always know the scratch is there, and that's a special kind of hell.

>>5863930
Looks great, good job. It might look even better if you painted the grey on his thighs, biceps, etc the same color.

I agree, the only things I could consider issues are the arm cannon being a little small and the apparent lack of torso twist

I'll get one and custom it into an Overcharge/Diaclone version

Which headmaster do you think would work better to replicate this face?

>>5864739
What i'm saying is, it's no skin off the back of the one who identified them, you're making it seem like he went out of his way when it's not even that big of a deal.

>>5864744
>>5864745
So this is Takara's first non-fuckup so far in Titan's Return

Based on their track record during Combiner Wars this might also be their only one

>>5864793
Unless the qc is bad, which remains a possibility.

>>5864794
Ah yes, it might be like UW Bruticus except that this actually looks good.

If worst comes to worst I'll get the standard retail and the Perfect Effect weapons.

They've been fine other than that they're excessively ugly and are literally the definition of MUH GEEWUN in toy form. Same thing applies to their CW shit

I think you're confused, you're referring to hasbro there.

No shit, they're meant to be g1 updates.

>>5864764
>Replace the figure.

I think I can live with it if the damaged part is covered up well enough.

really though, I did not expect the paint on the die cast part would come off this easily when painted plastic part required a lot more effort to chip away the paint.

>>5864803
That's not close to true though. People have been whining all Combiner Wars that Superion, Menasor and Defensor aren't MUH GEEWUN enough because the designers took some creative liberties with a toy line which is supposed to homage, not emulate, G1 and related continuities. That's why T30 had multiple Armada and Beast Wars figures.

>>5864804
So you prefer the shitty genericon blank face over something that looks at least slightly unique? Man, talk about poor taste.

And read above for the G1 update bullshit

>>5864804
Not him, but the hasbro and takara heads are subject to opinions, I like the sharpness of the hasbro faces but ended up buying the takara faces just because they're crisp and a damn good cut homage, yet people keep referring to stock images of the takara ones and or just have lips.

Both are good and homage well, well the headmaster characters anyway guys like blurr suffer
