Hey, whatever they think will get him to the Leader price. It's basically just a slab with some treads on it; not too complex. They gave Starscream a big, plastic throne. Surely they can give Springer a big, plastic slab. Plus, you know, scale has never really been too big of a sticking point.

"Hello." I'm well aware of this version, too. But like I said in my original post, if they want to do this and shove it into an SS86 box, fine; there's no need for a brand-new mold Springer, IMO. Change the Autobot symbol and give him the mobile rocket launcher thing from the movie that he...

Exactly. See, this is the kind of stuff that pisses me off. You wanna re-do Springer for SS86? Fine, wipe all of the crap off of the Siege mold and call it good. But don't turn around a few years after you've already made a perfectly decent representation and go, "oh wait, we need to redo...

Some of us have already shriveled and died several times over, lol. Welcome to the club :LOL: !

Yeah, I just couldn't bring myself to take that kind of a financial plunge. In my head, I round a mental corner after about $2 - 300, where something ceases to be fun and it starts getting into "I don't ever want to handle or look at this thing, for fear of breaking it." The stakes are just...

I didn't know that Target did that! I'm familiar with companies "pinging" credit cards for like a one-cent preauth, but the full amount seems excessive and unnecessary. I'm pretty sure that I've preordered from them in the past though, but I don't remember them doing that.

I guess that "Saturday morning cartoon" is a good descriptor of the movie, but yeah, I don't quite get the spoiler reference. In thinking a little more about the movie (which is probably not something that is encouraged!), a few things that stick out to me are:

Man, that sucks, Tec; sorry to hear it! Years ago, I got myself into the habit of removing (or just not installing) the batteries upon opening my figures. I think that electronics are cool and all, but to me, they aren't a selling point, or a necessary part of enjoying what I've purchased...

I saw RotB yesterday and enjoyed it quite a bit. Of course, I was going into it not expecting too much, and I had a good time. There are a few things that I would like to have seen done / handled better, but for the most part, it did not disappoint. Crucially, too, it featured a lot of screen...

I put in a preorder for Prowl / Ironhide at Pulse. I've got zero interest in the troop builder pack though, which is great, because there'll be at least one more set going into the hands of someone who really wants it :).

I don't have any version of him yet. Not sure that this is the one, but it does look interesting.

Man, I love HftD Deep Dive / Seaspray, it is such a good toy. Looks good in both modes (and robot mode has flippers!), and you can transport lil' dudes in hovercraft mode! I have Seaspray but never made it around to getting Deep Dive.

Alright, that seals the deal. Definitely want to pick this up.

Are we sure? The elongated front end and narrow headlights kinda look different than the Earthrise version that I have sitting on my shelf. I could be wrong, but it looks pretty Siege-y to my eyes. Maybe it's the angle of those photos? Edit: Okay, so I am wrong - it is the Earthrise mold...

This. Of all the speculation that I have been doing internally about this release, I never once considered that they would use the Siege mold. It's like...why?? . The battle damage definitely doesn't translate well to var mode (although I'm not sure why I would want him displayed in that...

Congrats, Haywire! And you got Beamer too, which I always liked as a kid (even though he was a cheaper Wendy's promo toy).

Eh, I think Bombshell looks alright. Like others have mentioned though, I'm not particularly over the moon with the decision to do the Insecticons again. I still like the smaller CW versions, even if they aren't as screen accurate as these current offerings. But I am holding out hope that we...

Indeed. It's preorderable at BBTS, too: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/243796?o=1

Oh, he's got one. His current position is Chaos Bringer, wherein he regularly performs all duties as assigned.
