Tf's not doing especially fine, just insulated by the release year of ROTB being pushed into this year when most of the costs were last year. It's a pretty grim picture all round. The current product mix does not work, and Cock's increase ebit at all costs strategy has been a disaster that has...

That looks pretty neat, hopefully he will be available on the same basis as Selects are to specialist retailers.

Argos UK have Lego Optimus down to £80, and you can get another five off by signing up to their email newsletter. I highly doubt you'll do any better than that for this toy.

Well, we can quibble about neck or mouth, but irrespective I think it's pretty core to how his head looks and I don't think the IDW2 head giving him a mouth hit the mark.

Ehh, I'm kinda glad they didn't do that. A drone with Straxus's head floating in it is kind of neat, but it just looks far too mishmashy. If we'd have got that instead of a toy that actually looks like Straxus i'd have felt very disappointed. Also Straxus has a mouthplate. Please don't.

Sadly it does not appear this applies to the UK - we've had no shipping confirmation emails and the unboxing email refers to "early next year".

In the UK Nemesis is on this, as are the War Dawn and Sniper 2 pack sets, which are pretty good discounts (especially if you have Pulse Premium). In-Demand Toys also has Nemesis down to £130 (RRP is £219 in the UK), Metroplex down to £89.99, the Buzzworthy Troop Builder pack down to £48...

FWIW the main Nezha toy is constantly getting advertised at me on Facebook from Temu.

No, it's the one that doesn't have any transparent plastic at all.

Megatron feels too much like an Action Master who a few sort of alt modes have been mushed in. Scorponok looks worse than the Weaponiser. Wheeljack looks more like the film design but I think I prefer the mainline one. Mohawk is... ghastly but was always going to be. Scrapheap looks nice enough...

Those are extremely unattractive toys. Eesh. Cheap looking and ugly.

Yeah, absolutely. There's really only a few minor things I think should have been left in, and even one of those I absolutely see *why* they did it (the original death of Ultra Magnus, just because it's obviously animated to lead up to it, and it makes his resurrection make a bit more sense as...

I wouldn't mind a police van but bluntly now we have the SS86 mold let's never use that Earthrise tooling ever again.

Sometimes being a plot device is fine.

Yep. They're also just quite small pictures in the catalogue, so they look bad so they're blown up a lot.

This is a franchise with more characters than you could ever, ever possibly use to be honest.

Hopefully we get decent pictures tomorrow then.

Woof, Soundwave looks bad without his chrome. And other parts of it have silver plastic that is painted with shiny paint which are supposed to be the same colour - look at Ravage's missiles. If there was a genuine push for accuracy you'd use the same paint. Instead it just looks like costcutting.

It transforms into two pieces if you look at it funny.

https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/takara-beast-wars-again-show-accurate-repaint-vs-sets.1244437/page-108#post-21734832 There's going to be a Premium Finish three pack with Earthrise Megatron, Siege Shockwave and Earthrise/NF Soundwave, along with the SS86 throne. Dammit, I want that. If...
