Yes.

Also, KO MP Bat came in the mail today.
Considering he was just jammed in a paper envelope with the thinnest bubble wrap on the planet it's amazing he or his case is undamaged.

QC on him is pretty good. The molding tolerances on his jetpack was a little off and as a result I had to shave a tiny bit of plastic to get it to fold out properly. Other than that there's a paint splotch on him that doesn't show in either mode, his wing joints are a tiny bit floppy and his head doesn't sit perfectly flush against his body, but none of that is a big deal. Overall pretty great though.

So yeah, 15$ ebay Ratbats seem to be worth getting if you don't feel like getting Soundblaster just for a unique cassettebot mold.

>>6031159
Holy shit

>>6031160

Because straight black lining looks too clean and unnatural. Far as shading goes, shade usually doesn't come in straight, all consuming black. A dark brown or brown does the dark you need without being too black. Unless you're trying to go for a strict super-clean future robot look. And even then, you might be better not going pure black, but a dark grey.

tl;dr "It looks better".
>>
>>6031159
do those car halves actually stay together like that?
>>
>>6031001
I feel your pain. I decided to paint the wiring/"metal muscle" detail on his stomach with some silver. That turned out well, so I decided to hit the panel lining on his tummy with some purple for a War for/Fall of Cybertron glow look. That looked good too so I decided to do more panel lining and it's escalated and escalated until I've ended up lining almost every recess and picking out almost every single sculpted detail. I'm still not finished, though I will say he looks better for it.

Hardhead is much less tedious to do, though. He doesn't have too many panel lines that would suit the "energon glow" look.

It does annoy me to some degree that HasTak sculpt all this surprisingly nifty detail and then leave it completely unpainted. Obviously I don't expect them to pick out every panel line, but little things like the vents on Hardhead's chest and the wiring in Skullcruncher's torso really could do with some paint.

TLDR I am literally autistic.

Wave 3 isn't even really out yet man. So it's no surprise stores are still stocking Wave 2, especially dept. stores that are always way behind on everything.

Congrats on the good finds.

Wave three is in full force here up in South PA/North WV. I've seen everything on shelf but the leaders.

Again at least up here, I've seen the legends and voyagers everywhere and saw the delexes at a Walmart in Morgantown.
Won't buy any of it yet because I wager it'll go cheap soon and I ask for all this for Christmas.
That and honestly short of Twinferno and Trigger Happy, I'm not to impressed with what I'm seeing. Megs and Optimus look so/so with stickers, Bubblebee is just there, kickback looks promising but the wings worry me, Gnaw looks very cheap in person (to me at least to avoid trigger that one anon) Hot Rod is a step in the right direction but not enoigb and Getaway is just blurr level bland.
>>
>>6031359

Personally I'm in Wave 3 just for Doublecross, Triggerhappy, and the 3 Legends figures.
>>
I found Alpha Trion and Astrotrain at Walmart today.

Pretty much done on Waves 1 and 2 of Titans Return after I get the Leaders and maybe Laserbeak.

Not bad but the amazon sale was 105 with free shipping and their version might go lower on black friday.
>>

Devastator hit $80-90ish on Black Friday sales, but you also had to get one before they ran out of them, which happened pretty quick. I played it safe and nabbed a FortMax when it was $105. No regrets.

Trust me I would if I weren't so busy and had time to mess with them during. I did find a cheap TMNT mega bloks set at a discount store that I've been wanting. Plan on building that as I deal with clients. My last job was driving so I could have opened those fuckers right away. One perk I miss from it.

>>6031317
In my area I have 3 wal marts, a target, and a toys r us. I've been looking for these for a while. I was at the same wal mart on Saturday night and they only had a highbrow (pass for me) and a scourge with a million galvatrons and sentinels. Now they had one trion and then a few of each wave 2 deluxes. I was happy.

Most of eBay and Amazon is scalpers being fuckheads though. It's just when Amazon themselves has something in you can sometimes get good deals. It always pays to check it out, but it's rare they have something worth getting until long after specialty retailers have long since doled out everything to people who want stuff in a timely manner.

anyone know how to pop out the pins on the hfg's?

FYI: Toys R Us has most of TR Wave 2 Deluxes on their ebay store for $13 each plus free shipping if it's over $29. I just got Chromedome, Mindwipe and Weirdwolf; couldn't find Highbrow. You can't find them by searching individually for the figures though, you have to just search "Titans Return" on their page as they aren't listed with individual names

Just got my liokaiser in and holy shit does he have amazing ratchets, the skylynx mold really is the/ solid torso when the qc is on point.
>>
I really wish hasbro would just Import the Takara versions and charge more for them or just licence transformers out to third party companies. They really should not be making the toys themselves. Things like hasbro computron and liokaiser are just shameless cashgrabs which just exist to rope gullible people into buying them when there are far more better third party offerings that are more deserving of your money. All of hasbro's transformers are like selling a poster of the Mona Lisa and calling it "the original".
>>
>>6031582

Hasbro (and every other toymaker) has to deal with the shithole that is nationwide department stores and chains. Thats why things are filtered down into a few size classes, because Walmart/TRU/whoever else wants things are X price points and X sizes.

The lack of collaboration on some things is appalling though. We really should've had a joint-designed set of combiners, to avoid the whole "CW/UW" difference shit where some versions are vastly superior depending on which one you're talking about.
>>
>>6031567

The QC variations on some things is downright insane. I watched a review for Liokaiser earlier and he was a floppy shit mess. Yet I've seen others where he's perfectly fine.

Skylynx got shit on through bad tolerances, one of the parts inside of him wasn't quite made big enough to properly catch the ratchets. I hear the UW fixes him though.

Try to make it out to a Toys Toys Toys, fampai.

When the CW toys were first put out, the Voyagers were $20, deluxes were $12 and Legends were $8. They've since went up, but I've seen a bunch of Sky Lynx shelfwarming my Toys Toys Toys (Toronto) for $35. It ain't pretty, but it ain't $80.

>>
>>6031626
That was a blast. But now I have like 20 MotU figures sitting in a box.
>>
>>6031622
What they simply need to do is just market the oldschoolness of G1 aesthetics (CHUG) as something new, instead of trying to reinvent the damn wheel.
My nephews love the G1 episodes I play for them.
>>
>>6031626
Matty Collector had a built in re-seller market. Every figure was valuable!
>>
>>6031642
G.I. Joe just suffered hard from a decade of limpwristed liberal faggotry, nothing more.
>>
>>6031645

If they keep the current CHUG aesthetics and just MAKE A FUCKING SHOW about it rather than RiD it'll probably sell gangbusters.

I mean, the IDW shit sells really well, and probably does get them a few toy sales given we keep seeing IDW influenced 'bots, I'd imagine a well done cartoon series using the same aesthetic should do well for them.

>>
>>6031645
>>6031649
Seriously its been 9, going on 10 fucking years since we has a mainline that wasn't stylized. Kids where fine with the traditional aesthetics of the Unicron Trilogy. Animated's simple style made sense for a 2D cartoon, since animating mecha in 2D n a budget is hard, but there's no reason for the CGI designs in Prime and riD to look like that.

Depends if you like the set honestly. Though this >>6031920 is true, but it's also not exactly an uncommon thing. I mean, shit, Groove and some the UW Arielbots, Chromedome, and TR Astro have pained goddamn feet of all things, and thats the worst fucking place to ever put paint normally.

no, unless you really like victory, I will say this though the breastforce limbs have more character to them out of any other cw set primarily because of the headsculpts.

First official transformable figure of Liokaiser in 30 years, some of the best decos in cw and great headsculpts with articulated ears/horns. I'd say yes, get them they look great as individual bots and make a pretty decent combiner.

Such a lie about it actually being good. Sure first Liokaiser in 30 years but it's missing Leozack which is the most important part of the combiner.

It's more like 1-2 guys going "NOT MUH GEEWUN". You probably should just stay clear of that mold because CW Sky Lynx isn't very geewun either.
>>
>>6032005
Leozack was always garbage and the fact he got oneupped by Skylynx's evil clone just shows how much of a garbage character he is/. No new Leozack toys in over 30 years, no leozack toys from Beast Wars onward his name wasn't even re-purposed. Acidstorm has had more toys than Leozack and they both have the same alt modes. Leozack is garbage and the fact that so few people complain about the lack of Jaguar also proves the point that the dune buggy guy was a useless character who was only needed to form the hips because Leozack's inferior alt mode couldn't for both torso and hips by itself.
>>
>>6032063
Stop shitposting please.
>>
>>6032061
Oh well, at least this isn't the Aaron Archer era where we get 2 completely new molds for 1 character in the same fucking size class and wave, while 1 of the main cast is deported to the wave end and sold at rape prices.

That's retarded.

>>
>>6032069
When did this happen? I've been collecting CHUG since classics and I don't remember two size classes of the same character and the last wave was when all the good shit came.

Last generations wave before T30 was just Wreckgar and Black Shadow, RTS was only two waves, last wave of Universe 2.0 had things like Armada Hotshot, Ratchet, Leo prime, Vector prime, and RID Predacon bruticus.
>>
Wow Universe 2.0 is almost 9 years old. Universe 2.0 Countdown and Darkwind are going to be 9 year old toys and we have not had new representations of those characters in nearly a decade. Universe 2.0 Hound is still the best hound and the only other CHUG Hound is Combiner Wars Hound.

DOTM had Bumblebee recieve 2 completely new deluxe molds: the standard version (which was repainted into Hell Bumblebee) and Nitro Bumblebee. Meanwhile Soundwave who actually did something in the film is fucking impossible to find.

>>6032081

We're getting toys of characters that haven't had updates in 30 years man. TF is a large franchise. Some characters just don't get updated often, or ever.
>>
>>6032082
Yes but Bayformers are trash.

Compare movie soundwave to Glorious New Leader Soundwave and any Bayformer Soundwave just pales greatly in comparison.
>>
>>6032082
There was immense Bumblebee scalping during the first 2 movies so they over compensated that with the hive of bees.

Soundwave was in last wave which was cancelled after a very limited release
>>
>>6032087
The new Leader Soundwave sucks dick. Don't let your GEEWUN blind you.

>>6032093
Exactly my point. Soundwave's last wave release made an actual relevant character more difficult to find than donut steels and shitty repaints by magnitudes.
>>
>>6032095
New Leader soundwave doesn't suck dick. he can turn into a base and has a rather significant accompaniment of tape bots who become tiny transport vehicles for the base.

Not that Anon, but yellow paint frequently has the problem of looking like shit when put on dark surfaces. This is because there isn't enough pigment in it, they didn't do enough coats of the yellow paint, or they didn't do a lighter coat of primer beneath it. Or some combination of the two.

You clearly don't know how casting plastic works. You can't just cast a part of the torso in yellow and the rest in black. One piece = one color.

Also, where does Shrapnel have yellow plastic on him? I only own the TAV version, and he's cast entirely in either purple or black, with paint details for any other color.

>>6032802

You're not supposed to stop seeing it. I'd like to think it's a diversion tactic, like Batman's yellow chest emblem. It creates a subconscious target for enemies to shoot at, which is likely where he is the most heavily-armored.

>>6031601
We need a completely new system to begin with. Imagine if all customers were one market instead of resetting economies of scale for each one. Imagine if the the stores were customer-owned, and were part of the distribution system so that they paid retailer prices and had the same efficient shipping systems as the stores.

On further inspection, the paint scratch issue on Primal is because his antennas rub against metal pins during the head spin, just like how MP10 can have paint scratch issues on his forearms because they can rub against the metal pins holding his chest doors.
Like father like son I guess.

Thankfully though, if I can get a decent gunmetal grey marker or paint pen then it would be really easy to hide the paint scratch. It's hard to see to begin with.

Why would anyone ever want toy accuracy?
>>
>>6033094
Because the g1 toon colors are often super bland
>>
>>6033108
The complete opposite has also happened, so they should just pick the best out of the two.

Nah, just years and years of walking on floors. They're clean. Never use socks as a jizz rag, /toy/, thats just a waste of good socks.

Also it might stain your figures, and no one wants that. Remember, clean stuff for your figures only!

Hasbro has ALWAYS been toy accurate while Takara are anime fags. Literally even some G1 toys got changed to be anime accurate in Japan.

This shit would happen forever; look at Tidal Wave, or Classics vs Henkei Megs, or even the original BW toyline.
>>
Is takara fort max worth it?

I was wanting it and I don't really mind the price tag. Just like the colors a lot more.
>>
>>6033181
>Hasbro has ALWAYS been toy accurate
Hasbro has no system. CW Superion is based on the TV show but 2 of the 4 limbs are based off their toy counterpart. Dead End is based on his show model while Breakdown is based off his toy and Dragstrip is neither.

>Highbrow is Marvel comics
>Fort Max is Sunbow cartoon
>>
>>6033247
No. The thighs are fucked up and Cerebros comes without paint.
>>
>>6033247
If youre okay with trading playability (openable leg compartments) for cartoon accurate colors, original seiyuu voice clips, and free master sword, then sure
>>
>>6033247
Depends:

-Different voice clips
-Has a Master Sword
-Anime Colors
-Many stickers for the back launchpads
-New head for Fortress/Cerebros

His main offense is the massive price tag, and the fact that the legs are glued shut.

Hasbro retail doesn't have a sword, colors are blander, and also doesn't have as many stickers for the launch pads, and the only mold that has the Cerebros head. It's also MUCH cheaper and we currently have third party options for the Sword and Gun (and that other group that's making much nicer looking one's but they haven't gone up for preorder yet).

SDCC has better colors, fuckton of stickers pre-applied, the sword, and the Fortress head in Cerebros colors, but the figure might come with defects and may be hard to get a replacement for it.
>>
>>6033255
And ALL the Takara guys are the anime. This is why I was buying the Takara stuff since they are uniformed.
>>
>>6033181
> original BW toyline

That's because Takara released it a year after Hasbro and had time to reference the show colors.

KFC Simba is a really good figure also on official? Never.

The SDCC had a lot of issues and now there is word that the left arm/elbow's swivel joint is breaking for a lot of owners regardless of play it seems the joint can't take gravity well.

Most of the "non show accurate" Hasbro releases was just so Hasbro could save on paint costs or go full retard with a deco.
>>
>>6033273
>>6033275
It happening on the normal release too however not as many reports. Quick thing they have been that if you tap/shake Fort Max you should notice his left arm shakes longer than his right before stopping. Whatever the QC issue is it's in assembly or plastic used
>>
>>6033283
I can confirm it happens out of the box too, I just got a Fort Max on Amazon for the 105 price and just taking out the arm it was rattling, there were even black gear looking pieces in the box as well. Almost ask for a replacement but fuck this shit, it's a high end cost toy this shouldn't happen ever.

>>6033275
And he fucking has it, damn it. I bought him in early October, I can't return him now.

It looks like the problem there is in plastic colors.
>>
>>6033293
My condolences anon.
As much as people are gushing about TR/Legend headmasters they are the most QC ridden set yet. I can't remember a time there was this much uncertainty in the quality of a transformer purchase.
>>
>>6033293
If you are very careful you can open the arm up get the broken parts out and either repair the gear or make a new one. But be very careful, the blue plastic on the SDCC one is very prone to stressing there
>>
>>6033314
Animated.
>>
>>6033320
I bought a few but never notice anything then. What were the QC issues?
>>
>>6033301
You know what makes it worse? Gold plastic.
>>
>>6033181
I seem to recall while it may be an overall trend, there have been many exceptions where it was reversed.

>>6033112
That's what customers do, according to their tastes. That we have options is nice.
Once in a while I actually like the cartoon colors. sometimes Takara just fucks it up anyway, like Blast Off practically being orange.
>>
>>6033301
That version of Dinobot, all the brown plastic is GPS ridden. It's even more fragile than Beast Wars Neo Randy.
>>
>>6033297
I wonder if they made an mp dinobot if they would make his tail spinny weapon thing actually from the raptor mode tail or they'd use a separate piece

I'm not sure you can call it "free" you are paying almost double the cost TR Max is going for.

Triple since he's been on sale for 105 on Amazon every now and then.

None. People took issue with lockdowns arms but that wasn't a QC error.

You know the arm you have to install?
The elbow swivel (black part) can break at the gear in the upper end (blue shoulder)

It's an action figure.

Checked, gear seems fine so far, and so is that black rectangle thing.
>>
>>6033418
But you complained about his taste, not about the thing being a figure or not.

Therefore you're still a butthurt geewunner
>>

You really are fond of using words you don't understand aren't you?

Go back to TFW, they'll take your fugly doritos shitposting there.
>>
>>6033473
Wow, you're really butthurt aren't you?
>>
>>6033467
It the gear inside. It stresses because it's just a piece of thin black plastic on a screw. It's how it breaks on people that don't even play with it, the arm is to heavy for the gear.
>>
>>6033477
No one is buthurt. It's just to damn easy to get yous here. We have at least one of you that is stupid and has to fight to be the last word in an argument and it ensures they always get a reply out of you.

I'm not fighting anyone, it was you who decided to shitpost because there was someone who liked a bayformer design, and only butthurt geewunners do that.

Yeah, mine doesn't have any stress there at the moment.

You couldn't see it anon it's on the inside. It's a black gear on the inside

Maybe it's a fuck up at the factory? They screw it too tight, stress it out, then it breaks?

I have no idea what it is then, I took the whole arm apart and I didn't see a hint of another black gear, other than the thin one on the swivel that's screwed on.

Do it, I kinda want to get him too but didn't know how he was quality-wise.
>>

See this is where you look really fucking dumb. You claim to know it's shitposting so you respond rather than ignore. That either means you are retarded or you just like responding to shitposters becuase it's an easy conversation for you.

You're not stirring shit up friend, it's just a typical geewunner shitposting as always.

>>6033507
I replied to him only to call him on what he is: a butthurt geewunner.
>>
>>6033450
>>6033275
Does this cause the arm to fall off? or just be a loose wiggle joint? Mine still seems fine, doesn't wiggle and clicks fine. Just dont want the arm to fall off.
>>
>>6033516
No it just does one of two things
Jams the arm and it won't move.
Strips the gear and makes the arm Skullsmasher leg loose.

No one's butthurt save you.
