I'm pretty close to ZacWilliam1's approach in mainly prioritizing G1 stuff; it's just what tugs at my heartstrings the most. However, I have grown along with the brand and there's a lot that I like that came afterward. These days, I try to limit my purchases outside of G1-referencing...

I preordered the big fella too. He looks like a really well-engineered update, so I am all in.

That is a good-looking Thundercracker.

I'm not usually interested in movie designs, but there have been exceptions (Last Knight Voyager Megatron is still such an incredible looking and fun figure). This Scourge is one of those exceptions.

Nice! They were in stock briefly on Pulse today but before I could post here, they sold out. Glad to know that you've got one secured.

NGL, I don't know a lot of names on that list. I know Signal Lancer, Paddles and Botanica. Out of those three, I think that Botanica will be the last to get a toy.

I got him this week and have not had the opportunity to open due to work, etc. Can't wait to check it out.

I've only got the Scorponok mold from the Creatures Collide pack. I didn't get Rhinox because the robot mode face / head just looks too off. If they had done something different with this release, I might be interested. But as it is, it will take a lot to unseat my LG-EX Rhinox from 7 or 8...

They're still available at TFSource: https://tfsource.com/hasbro-transformers/shrapnel-legacy-deluxe-class-transformers-generations-legacy-evolution/ The preorder date says June 2023 though. Not sure if that's just a guesstimate or a placeholder.

Preorders are up at BBTS, for those interested: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/238494?utm_source=site&utm_campaign=Allspark I took the plunge. This set looks too cool to pass up!

I can't speak for everyone, but as an Allsparker in their mid-to-late-forties, I am just more comfortable browsing on a larger screen; always have been. Phones are nice and all, but I rarely use them to do much of my online "business of life." Also, this hobby tends to be very pic and video...

Transformers: More Than Meats the Eye?

I am completely old-school and prefer viewing the site on a desktop or laptop, mostly. Sometimes though, if I just want to do a quick check, I will use my phone.

I will grant that at the time, the prospect of any kind of live action Transformers film was improbable and became very exciting. I will even go so far as to say that Michael Bay seemed like a reasonable-enough action film director to take a stab at the Transformers brand. And on first blush...

Okay, now those are seriously cool. Getting some Aliens feels from the drop ship and the apc. Diaclone just keeps getting better! And my wallet weeps...

That is cool! I love Easter-eggy things like that. I still haven't picked him up yet but he already looked like a fun and nicely-designed toy before the alternate transformation.

True. But I was just trying to underscore the types of conversations that were going on back then, as relates to the (then-very-unlikely) prospect of any type of new Devastator. Yes, we got one in a set, which is probably the smart way to do it. But the fact remains that we got one at all...

Oh, Devastator - that is another one that I still have to pinch myself about, years later. I remember a time (not all that long ago, in the grand scheme of things) when the notion of an updated G1 Devastator was laughable. "It'll never pass the drop test", "Hasbro will never release six...

3p will most assuredly do kits for her. There will be the usual gap fillers and such, with some extra rotating turrets thrown in for good measure. There will definitely be unnecessary parts that justify the cost of admission. Without a doubt, Reprolabels will create stickers for every panel...

That's not coming until a bit later (I forget exactly when).
