    Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection - Transformers: Legacy subline at Walmart

    It kind of depends on the race. Circle track racing is different from road course racing, and rally racing is a whole other experience, too. And then, there is the question of if it's an endurance race or not... Generally, there is some kind of support/pit crew. There are commentators, and...

    Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

    Somewhere, the folks at Kotobukiya are rubbing their hands together and cackling maniacally. Their plans for a Bishoujo Skywarp suddenly just got that much closer to fruition...

    Shattered Glass Thread

    I can't speak for other posters, but I'm not sure the ones complaining about the price of Flamewar are the same ones who complain about cutting corners on decos. Even in your example, there was usually the less expensive Hasbro option and the pricier Takara one. Fans could choose price vs deco...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    It certainly wouldn't hurt to bring back the Vehicons as a faction. The toys were a part of Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise, and Universe 1.0, which is a not-insignificant chunk of Transformers history. Seems like they ought to be on the table for Legacy, whether Beast Machines itself is...

    Shattered Glass Thread

    SG Slicer was 2 deluxe figures redecoed for 48.99. SG Flamewar is a deluxe and a Battlemaster redecoed for 42.99. They're essentially contemporary figures, so why do the prices feel like apples to oranges? It's a beautiful figure, one I would be excited to add to my collection, but that price...

    The Repaint Concept Thread

    I keep looking at Impactor and wondering if we could get a Tulcas/Tanker out of him. Complete the Dorvack trio, and make more Convertors references in one shot.

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    Are the kids wearing some kind of Cybertronian glove, or did their hands get transformed somehow? (Not expecting anyone to know the answer, just speculating out loud)

    Legacy Line Wish List

    Okay, this is really a list for something after Legacy, and I'm sure I posted it before on the old board, but the latest "The Basics" reminded me. Let's say go! Esmeral, with a pretool for Deathsaurus, with robot, mecha-kaiju, and a combiner torso mode. Doesn't need to be CW-compatible, but...

    Transformers: The Basics

    I like the idea of Deathsaurus subbing as a torso for either Liokaiser or Dinoking. The Dezarus execution made sense based on existing molds, but just wasn't a perfect fit. Still, I'm glad we got even that!

    The Toku Thread

    So, I've watched through episode 3 of Decker, still enjoying it. Kinda wish I'd kept up with Trigger; at least the mecha were carried over (and it took me FAR too long to figure out what Nursedessei was), not sure what else. Also seems like I need to go back and rewatch Dyna. Tangentially, I...

    Transformers: EarthSpark

    Elita, Twitch, and Megatron look like great figures! I am a little upset that the tiny figures are a finger puppet gimmick. Would love to get these character designs in a Legends/Core scale, not just the Warrior/Deluxe.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Catilla, Chainclaw, and Snarler would be interesting if they went all-out on the beast forms. I still wish we had got the Waverider Primemaster, but otherwise I'm not sure there's a lot they could do with them in the current way they handle Pretenders that would be interesting. Metalhawk is...

    Gobots and Machine Robo News & Discussion

    It's definitely new. There are a couple design cues on the Action Toys figure that aren't present on this one. Since they're both based on the anime, they have some similarities, like the optional long drill, but they connect differently, too.

    Mayhem Transformers Discussion: United We Shelfwarm

    I didn't realize Action Toys and Maketoys were connected. That makes sense. I think part of what bothers me about this Drill is the hands. Drill doesn't have round fingers, he's a tough bruiser machine, and so he's got tough mechanical claws (which he often grabbed one of the Devil Satan Six...

    Studio Series 86 Appreciation Thread

    You have a valid point! Core class is the only size class doing double-duty; every other size class is used for characters that fit the relative size and/or complexity. Only Core has both small characters and bigger ones in the small size. And yet, waves of Studio Series Core are only one or two...

    Mayhem Transformers Discussion: United We Shelfwarm

    Well, in theory, it should be hard to screw up Drill, but Action Toys' version had some questionable design choices, too. It's been a while since I got that one out, so I'm a little fuzzy on specifics, but I think there were some hip articulation issues. I may pass on this one, anyway, but if...

    Mayhem Transformers Discussion: United We Shelfwarm

    So this showed up on BBTS I wonder if Action Toys lost the license? Also, has anyone bought Megahouse figures before? How is the quality? I don't like to pass up new Machine Robo/Gobot offerings, but when it's a character I have several iterations of, it's hard to drop that kind of money. Now...
