BBTS still has pre-orders available, so not that worried, but I probably wouldn't hang around on it.

Well it was leaked with "people are going to be upset about this" so yeah. It must be said the other rumoured toys from it are not from Velocitron, save for Blurr, though some are a reasonable fit. I didn't mean to infer that a Stepper toy had been leaked, it hasn't, I just had my cynical hat...

I remain a bit puzzled that they're going to do another Prime Arcee toy but don't seem to have any plans to release Flamewar, who is featured in all kinds of fiction now but only has a toy that was a convention exclusive years ago (yes, okay, there was a legends class but that doesn't count).

Yeah, there's likely a royalty to Paramount for the SS toys, so Hasbro won't repaint them in non-movie lines if they don't have to, and you'd assume that it doesn't apply to SS '86. I did wonder if the SS'86 toys had a slightly different cost base which might have caused problems, but there is...

UK retailers are saying that Draculus has a shelf date of October 1st, and they are getting their deliveries this week so should be able to ship that day. Such shelf dates are fairly unusual from Hasbro UK for non-licensed toys, so that probably comes from some US retailer restriction, so maybe...

I still wouldn't be surprised if we get a Selects Stepper next year. I mean we're getting a blue Bluestreak soon despite that being last year's mold.

Scourge is pretty nice, but it must be said Cyclonus is probably the best toy since Earthrise Prime so you chose wisely.

Mirage/Grimlock arrived this morning (it's been a busy release week, my partner's tolerance is stretched). They're okay, Grimlock's head does look lovely, but both are slightly marred by weirdness (Grimlock's deco, Mirage's missile). Still, at least they're solid molds compared to Tracks and...

Hasbro UK shipped Road Rage this week and mine arrived this morning. I think reports that she's a bit better than Tracks due to better tolerances have been exaggerated. Heck, on mine she can barely hold her gun without it falling out of her hand.

Kingdom Wave 3 arrived this morning. Stinker of a wave in general to be honest, everything feels extremely cheap and poor compared to waves 1 & 2.

Has Japan even gone up yet? This one will make it pretty easily tbh.

We'd deal if they called Glyph "Underwater Mission Bumblebee" on the box tbh. Tapout's not even a VW anyway. I look forward to Hasbro UK dropping the ball and not making yet another Target exclusive available over here at all, like the last four pack.

It still made me laugh when they talked about Exhaust and Greasepit "leaking". They didn't leak! You shipped them to retailers in half the countries in the world with no embargo before announcing them, and they were sat on our desks having being purchased entirely legitimately. Hasbro are so...

Was finding him news? I had three delivered yesterday.

It's Hong Kong dollars. That's about US$67.

Slag, Wreck-Gar and Gnaw arrived this morning. Slag looks lovely but god his plastic is thin in a very bad way. He feels like you might break him just by glancing at him, and generally speaking his plastic wall thickness should be twice what it is. Pretty floppy legs on mine too. I still can't...

Isn't the rumour that we are getting a wolfman and the creature from the black lagoon if this sells okay?

The cape integrates surprisingly well into the alt mode. It's quite well done really for a toy without a huge retool budget.

If they do end up doing the three Universal monsters they'll make cool baddies for Cybertron Crosswise. I have no interest in the Shattered Glass stuff, but is SG Wheeljack's colour scheme Slicer's? Because then at least I could repurpose it.

That looks decent. I'm glad it turned out to not be literally black and white. It's primarily so, but with enough accents to be a bit more interesting. Decent new head sculpt too, better than most of the crossover ones.
