I think I'm gonna skip all of this wave. None of the Deluxes are doing it for me, and Legends are always impossible to find. Might wait and see what Takara does with Kickback, and I'll definitely wait to get a repaint of the Bumblebee mold. I've got no love for Gnaw, really.

Part of the issue is that I can never find shit. I'll waste untold money in gas to find a $10 figure. I think I'll just sit back and watch for a bit.

Even Sixshot?

Unless you already own Hexatron, then I can understand.
>>
>>6010801
Even Megatron, Sixshot, Optimus, Hot Rod, and Triggerhappy? They all look pretty good so far.
>>
>>6010797
Yeah the yellow plastic definitely played a part, it was the really shitty, "im totally going to snap it" type of yellow plastic. There's also a lot of mold flash, too loose/tight joints. Anyway that must be like a decade ago.
>>
>>6010799

Nah, I just didn't want to give the cancer in that thread a quick in to this one.
>>
>>6010801

I'm totally going to try and nab Doublecross and Triggerhappy, and all the Legends.

Might get Sixshot, I own my old G1 SS, own MMC's Hexatron, might get this one just because I can.

What's your thoughts on foil stickers?

Was watching Peugh's Megatron review. He mentions that the part of the stickers near the joints are starting fray and the Decepticon logo on the curved surface of the nosecone just doesn't stick.

The only foil sticker TR I have is Rewind and I'm already annoyed by how the pre-applied stickers are misaligned. I realize that it's Hasbro's easy way to add color while saving costs, but I just wish they would just include the sticker sheets and let us apply them ourselves.
>>
>>6010805
Ehhhh. I'm not really into any classes bigger than Deluxe. Not at retail production quality, anyway. If they make an MP Sixshot, then we'll talk. But generally I just don't have the room for them.

>>6010806
I don't like bigger size classes, but Megatron looks like unpainted gray dump. Optimus is okay, but I don't really like triple-changers, and if I were going to, I'd wait for Octane, because Optimus has enough exposure. Not a fan of Hot Rod at all (The MP is pretty great, and has a much more interesting color scheme, IMO, I hate when Rodimus is just plain red/yellow), and Triggerhappy has an awesome alt. mode, but overall just looks so... bland. Can't put my finger on it.

So while some things in this wave do interest me, I'd rather wait for their inevitable repaints.

Is it Legends scale? That sounds fun. We'll see. Their shit is stupid expensive, though.
>>
>>6010812
Something about the TR Megatron just doesn't feel right looking at it.

It looks so hollow and flimsy.
>>
>>6010812

I think it'll look a lot better as Blitzwing, but the plastic color choice and the shit stickers really make it look poor as Megatron.
>>
>>6010830

No, theres an MP scale Sixshot coming out I think. Iron Factory is doing a Legends scale one though, and IF stuff is almost always top notch so if you want a Legends SS you should be excited.
>>
>>6010784
Robot mode?
Those look like solid toys, anon.
Still looks new
>>
>>6010830
DX9 is MP. IF are the ones doing a legends scale Sixshot.
>>
>>6010836
I feel like I'm gonna get attacked for this, but I never really cared for Sixshot. Too many modes, all of them sub-par. Also not a fan of his color scheme. I really like the concept of a crazy Decepticon who has 6 modes, but the execution requires that we fly too close to the sun.

Thats fine. It is true the more modes a 'bot has, the more likely a lot of them are going to be shit or compromised pretty hard. And Sixshot does cheat on like 2 of his modes (spaceship and gun/submarine are pretty much the same damn thing).

I still love the guy though, he survived my childhood and just plain looks cool.

Hasbro Computron came in. Say what you will about it, but I prefer the colors of the hasbro version to Takara.

Also it was cheap as fuck on amazon
>>
>>6010924
You already got yours? Mine's still preparing to ship, and it's been 6 days since I ordered it.
>>
>>6010924

Speaking of cheap, Victorion is slowly making it's way back to the $40 catagory again. Yesterday it was $70, today it's $58.
>>
>>6010924
I always say this but it's a good set just a bad representation of the team.
It's worth getting if you actually play/fiddle with your toys a lot.
>>
>>6010930

Thats normal for Amazon. Unless you're Prime, your shit is gonna sit there for a week or so before it even ships. They do it on purpose to try and get you to buy Prime.

I'm fine with letting my shit sit there though.
>>
>>6010936
It is Prime, but I'm in PR. It doesn't normally take this long, even if we lack most of the Prime benefits (I didn't pay for it, it's a student trial that lasts 6 months).
>>
>>6010780
>Can't wait for Twinferno/Doublecross/whatever the fuck

Same here. His Headmaster is literally a Battle Beast. That's rad.
>>
>>6010943
Really wish they'd done the Monsterbot trio as deluxes instead of just Doublecross getting the honors while the other two are just heads.
>>
>>6010946
There's still time.
>>
>>6010946

I'm hoping the Takara Doublecross comes with a nicely painted Repugnus & Headmaster. Maybe not likely, but I'm hoping.
>>
>>6010950
I really want a new Repugnus and Squeezeplay. I'm a huge sucker for creatures with two legs and pincers.
>>
>>6010946
It makes sense for the other two to be tiny men. Repugnus is a tiny bug man and grotesque is the perfect scale which means he's small enough to stand on the ledges of Metroplex or Fort Max just like a real grotesque/gargoyle.
>>
>>6010950
They skipped chibi-Apeface, so who knows.
>>
>>6010973
I wouldn't mind the tiny version if it wasn't a character I know would get a deluxe in the future. The monsterbots are not popular and have practically nothing on their plate, so if they don't get something now, we might not see anything again.
>>
>>6010930
Yeah, I have prime. Ordered it like friday night and got here on monday.

>>6010932
I think it's a fairly good representation. Sure Takara's is more show accurate but this works for me. I also missed out on Cosmos so having a version of it is nice. Bonus for proper fists and feet

72USD is hard to argue with

When is that Liokaiser set supposed to be officially out anyway? I keep seeing it on Amazon for like $160 and shit, but thats way too expensive. Isn't MSRP for it supposed to be $99 like the rest?
>>
>>6011106
I heard it's exclusive and the price varies a lot. Entertainment Earth will get it for 130, you can find it on ebay for about 115, some online shops have it at 109.

Brace yourself
Entertainment Earth is asking for 129.99 for it. You can call and order it thought their phone catalog(yes they still do that) but its not on the web page yet
If you hurry there were some ebay listings in California and Iowa selling him for 109 after tax. Some China sellers were selling him for under a $100 but I think those have all come and gone.
>>
>>6011108

Well, shit, that is annoying. I just don't want to overpay.
>>
>>6011113
Fuck I meant shipping not tax.
>>
>>6011114
At best you might be able to get it cheaper in a few months for 100, maybe 90. It being exclusive makes it a bit unpredictable.
>>
>>6011108
Seems like it's shop-exclusive in America only.
>>
>>6011114
My advice would be wait it out then, Almost every Entertainment Earth Hasbro exclusive drops far below the MSRP even on Amazon.
That said my friend is arguing he might not have that fate calming that Entertainment Earth is ordering no more then the initial batch and where Hasbro is now in full swing of TR he might not get made to any real number to merit a discount.
>>
Has anyone used Amazon Japan before for takara stuff? I just bought mp primal from them, and it ended up being the cheapest by far, just a little over 105 shipped.

Shipping was the surprising part, only 17 bucks for something that seems to be EMS, going by the delivery date they gave me. If this pans out I'm going to start buying from them instead of amiami etc.
>>
>>6010792

Gee you think his feet are stable enough?
>>
>>6011124
It's good if you have some understanding of the lanaguge and can do basic communication
Otherwise you'll be sol the first time something goes wrong.
Also be warn Amazon and a lot of their sellers take zero responsibility for import taxes or fees meaning you might have a rude surprise of paying the post office a decent sum before you get your package. Usually they give a statement on the page whether or not the cost covers import/export fees.
>>
>>6011124
I think they use FedEx, but yeah, Amazon Japan seems like it's going to be a pretty good deal now.
>>
>>6010812

How about they get their head out of their ass and listen to their customers for a change instead?
>>
>>6011141
Yeah, I figured customer support night be a problem, but the last time I had orders with hlj and amiami they were both less than helpful anyway. And as far as customs stuff goes, I'd always heard Americans didn't get hit with those. I guess we'll see.
>>
>>6011124
No idea, it seems cheaper but they don't take Paypal so I am hesitant to use them.

>>
>>6011144
It wouldn't work out
You have that loaded gun that for every customer willing to pay 3rd party prices for a perfect all paint apps all details accounted for with low QC issues you have a line of people refusing to pay because of the price and bascily accusing them of overcharging.
You then have just as many defense forces that would argue you shouldn't want any better than this and you are entitled for asking better.

They lop that off then they become Takara and you'll only get MPs and little else. Most of Takara's non MP offerings are thanks to Hasbro selling to major retail.
As a He-man fan I can tell you, you do not want this to go a direct market. It's not worth the sacrifices that come with it.

There has to be a better solution though but you're right I think Mattel fell victim to the greed that an inbuilt audience guarantees and Hasbro would likely do the same.

You should read up on how much product has to be manufactured to keep costs down on things like transformer toys
The numbers needed are huge and while online is taking off it's still only
Making about 25% of total sales in America retail. To go solely online would likely cut off a lot of buyers. Also much like Takara's MP line you would see a huge drop in variety. You would have gotten at best the 4 autobot head masters at this point and thing like Soundwave and Fort Max wouldn't happen or be so far down it would take decades.

>>6011573

I could believe that but then maybe we wouldn't have so many retools. I appreciate a cleverly done remold as much as the next man but things like TR Soundwave is unforgivable.

If they could at least get their casing handled better it would probably help a lot though. It's like half of every wave shelfwarms with the highly sought out figs being extremely hard to find and it's been that way as far back as I can remember.

I don't really know all the ins and outs though but I can't fathom Hasbro doesn't see the lost dollar signs here, especially when so many stores fail to order final waves of any given line.

Here's hoping 3d printing takes off sooner than later and HasTak has the foresight to monetize their massive 30 year catalogue. Just imagine how many fans would gladly pay to print off all of g1. Even at $10 a pop Hasbro would be rolling in it.

They don't lose money if you have enough sell of the case and what not. Think of it like how buying in bulk is cheaper then one item as needed. It's the same idea sell bigger amounts and you get bigger chances at returns without having to sell everything. That was what lead to the spiraling mess of the Marty Club they had to have certain numbers of sales and what not to balance out product produced and profit made. So if you can offer the product to millions it opens up better chances of sales and not having to fear overstock eating profits.

Now 3rd printing is a whole mess that has a lot of pioneering days before we can enjoy a world of button pushing custom toys.

To perfect it yes but it might take another 10 or so years to get markets to adjust to it or even try that field
We have had digital games for for over a decade and streaming has been a thing for 16 years, we are finally seeing streaming exclusive shows and the Video game market is still 70% physical. The growing pains needed for toy companies to consider changing a 100 year distribution system to go to a digital print system will be a great feat to see.

I know i'm talking about 10 years late, but I have some questions regarding Bendy Prime.
I bought him about a month ago and i have to admit that I love him, but the thing is that mine has some common issues; I already modded the tights so he can bend the legs forwards and it turned out pretty well.
1) The smokestacks are really anoying, should I just glue them or is there a better solution to get away with it?
2) One of the slides on the forearms apparently is loose, how can I tighten it up?
3) Has anyone already tried to mod the elbows so they can be double-jointed? I tought about shaving off the balljoint peg and adding a mushrom peg or something to enable some extra rotation.
>>
>>6011650
1.Light Glue or even clear nail polish if you want to be able to remove them.
2. If it's what I'm picturing a a bit of Future Shine and some qtips can fix that easy
3. no clue but keep in mind how small the part is, you might destroy it
>>
>>6011654
Why are the smostacks removable anyway? They don't do shit.
Any floor finish would do just fine? what other products can I use?
The piece is roughly 15mm. And yes I'm affraid of fucking up that's why i wanna know if anyone has tried it already.
>>
>>6011657
1. he was down sized from a voyager sized design most believe they were to make a gun originally.
2. clear floor finish is key, you can use clear nail polish but it wont last and could damage paint.
>>
>>6011665
Great, thanks.
I'll see what can i do with that forearm.
Might as well just glue them smokestacks, too.
He looks like a tiny space marine, doesn't he?
>>
>>6011670
Apparently the design team was task to create Armada OP as "a monster semi truck that hunts beasts" so I'm not surprised space marine came out of that.

HasTak doesn't seem as stubborn as say the music or film industry but hopefully by the time it gets here they'll see the importance of not clinging to a dead model. Either they create a proprietary format for distribution or piracy will pick up the slack.

Unfortunately I can also see them being like Nintendo and highly overvalue their back catalogue. They kind of already do that now with g1 re-releases that always fail because pricing kills any remaining interest in the old molds.

>>6012116
UW Computron is fine in terms of general QC.
The only 3 issues I could really point out are Lightspeed's combiner join being kind of floppy, Strafe's legs not staying tabbed together particularly well as a limb and Nosecone being pretty much unable to hold his drill in his hands due to how the port and the peg are designed. Those are practically nitpicks though.

And make sure you're getting the hands and feet and not the computron PE set. The Computron PE set is mostly designed for CW Computron and doesn't come with hands and feet. You can still use the head upgrade and gun obviously but the chestpiece is useless for UW Computron.
>>
>>6012120
Just tell him that the upgrade set is PC-11 and the hands and feet set is PC-12. No need to get into those shenanigans.
>>
>>6012120
Yeah it's definitely the hands and feet, I checked myself. I was aware of the other upgrade kit and I know it's no use for him.

A shame to hear Lightspeed's comboner is a bit floppy, as that would probably be quite hard to fix. The Strafe limb mode tabs and the Nosecone drill peg should be fairly easy fixes though.

Is there any way of tightening up comboner ratchets without major surgery? I assume Pledge/superglue wouldn't work.

Its also based on how sentinel prime wanted to make cybertron great again by killing off all non-aligned bots and decepticons.

You need to read into idw or least his wiki entry a bit and then squint your eyes

>>6012184
In the comics (where this version of Sentinel is from), the Prime wants to return Cybertron to its old glorious ways of living. That means judging Cybertronians for their alt modes, relinquishing the concept of romance, getting rid of non-Cybertronians, and reigniting the Autobot-Decepticon conflict.

That's awesome.

funny enough Transformers wise, three voice actors were in that movie. Francesco Quinn (Dino), Keith David (Movie Game Barricade) and Tony Todd (The Fallen and Prime Dreadwing).

KEK, this is rich.

In that video I posted>>6012147 they got one of the graphic designers coloring up a soundwave in an oc color scheme (after playing a guessing game with asia girl before he completed the outline), he said this about the color scheme as he was painting it.

>you try to stack colors
>so you dont have too many of the same color right next to each other

I'm guessing this guy wasn't working on hasbro's blurr then?

Hasbro likely has dozens of graphic designers. It's highly unlikely this guy even came close to TR Blurr or Scourge.

Takara reissue with the cassettes are going to be like 30 bucks more than the hasbro reissue. What in the fuck are they smoking over there?
>>
>>6012262
And they're also opening them all up beforehand and gluing a big, orange plug into the barrel, which may or may not ruin the functionality of the silencer. Money well spent, if you ask me!

This is true. IDW is as good as any G1 reboot or G1 interpretation at all gets, and it still sucks.

TF fiction in general is just terrible.

I dunno about you but I usually expect decent stories and art when I consume any form of sequential visual entertainment. IDW often fails at the latter and nearly always at the former.

Who triggered you, you little Tumblr bunny?
>>
>>6012310
That same Prime re-issue is $150 on Anime Export right now. I paid $140 last year, prices are shit because of the yen-dollar conversion right now, but still better than that bullshit.

Shitting on the likes of Alex Milne, Andrew Griffith, Guido Guidi and Kei Zama
See, now we know you just have shit taste. Granted, there are some weak fill-in artists from time to time, but the regular artists for each book are strong.

Haha oh wow

The only remotely decent artist you named is Guidi. The rest are either bleh or outright garbage.
>>
FortMax is currently $106 Trumpdollars on Amazon /toy/. Just wondering if I should pick one up?
>>
>>6012322
Why aren't Milne and Griffith good? You can argue that you dislike their style, but they are technically good artists.
>>
>>6012324
Free shipping? His aesthetics are so much nicer than Metroplex
>>
>>6012324
It's hard to go wrong for 106$.

Just expect to pay more later on for swords and guns if you actually want to give him something to hold, though.

>>6012327

Yes, free shipping. Sold by Amazon themselves.

>>6012325

Protip: "technically good" doesn't mean jack fucking shit in any form of art. A technically well cooked bowl of cow diarrhea is still cow diarrhea.

WalMart had TR deluxes on sale fo 9.98 so I picked up one of the blue guys. I was going to wait of clearance so I can get 3, but what the hell.

Why is his head so wobbly though? Is this the same for all of them or just the one I picked up?
>>
>>6012372
Yes, it's a commonly toted design flaw for the mold. The port is raised higher than other figures so it wobbles quite a bit.

Alright, I ordered a FortMax then, along with another Vortex as a replacement if my Vortex's cracked-but-fixed port ever cracks again.

Hasbro Computron is only $64
That's a steal
>>
>>6012372
Turning his boots around does a lot for both the mold itself and the Hasbro deco. I painted his abs and forearm "vents" silver and that's good enough for me. I even carefully exacto-d off his official knee spkes so he could bend his legs with his legs reversed. I also reversed his hips so the smaller pin head is facing foreward and it actually made his ship mold hold together better; I could never get his side panels to snap down for very long before that.

holy fucking shit we've reached the point where third party is cheaper than official.

The official does look nice tho (but at what cost)
>>
>>6012356
>I stated my opinions on IDW's comics and you immediately went out of your way to defend them
Because I like them. I stated a bunch of artists that all regularly draw for them and have quite different aesthetics. I thought that for one person to throw all of them under the bus was kind of odd, because they're all quite different.

Besides, your complaints really only pertain to Milne's art. And the only reason you accuse it of being "tumblr" is because Tumblr adopted it. Prior to that, it was just his original style. To call Griffith, Guidi, or Zama's art "greebly, gawky, tumblr deviantart garbage" just makes it seem like you're an angry geewunner spewing buzzwords.

What are some recommended brands of paint pens to use on tfs?

I have paint chips on a few guys that I'd really like to fix up and I figure pens would be the easiest way to go about doing it.
>>
>>6012387
They're all very different but in the end they produce garbage. Does it matter?

And my original post on TF fiction sucking in general referred mostly to the plots and storylines of the many continuities over the years, including IDW. You really are shit at reading, aren't you?

And you're outright delusional if you think Griffith isn't greebly as fuck. He has the most realistic proportions and passable shading but his greebles are ugly as hell and give me headaches.

Now fuck off back to whatever shillhole you came from, faggot.

Also besides Gundam markers, regular ol' metallic sharpies work wonders for detailing parts you don't have to touch, like hubcaps. It will rub off with some friction, but for shit like hubcaps which never get touched, it looks good.

hey /toy/formers
im looking to sell some TF things I got
anyone know of price guides for toys like /v/ has VGPC for?

if anyone here wants it, its a soundwave and some cassettes. i forget which ones, black, red and orange maybe? ill take pics later if anyone is interested.

the SW is diecast i think, missing the shoulder launchers and missles, but everything else is fine.
