I think I see what you mean (as in regular retail Deluxe vs US store-exclusive Deluxe) but we're at a (price) point where it's somewhat cold comfort. It's the "on top of the price hike for Legacy" that gets me. That local price hike was already enough to cement my decision to be much pickier...

I love love love clear plastic in general from a purely visual standpoint. Just stand em up and look at em. Forever. Engineering and durability are another matter, as I always feel very tentative when actually transforming or even holding the things. I'd be all too glad to remove clear plastic...

Now Amazon is showing them for me as Temporarily Out Of Stock, which... thanks, Amazon.

"There isn't a tighter shirt." "We checked."

I lucked out and managed to do that too; fortunately I only really wanted two of the Takara parts (Scattershot and Lightspeed) so that was easy to flip. Nosecone and Strafe were tricky to pick from, but I went with the original toy colors for Nosecone and I opted to let go of the Takara Strafe...

Yeah that's one thing I realized when I picked up my custom for the photos. The stockiness, the proportions -- it's a shrunken down MP that has the vibe of Don Figueroa art. The "Cybertronian" aesthetic of Siege may have been a thin masking over eventual Earth mode molds, but this mold was a...

Override continues to look great in robot mode and just annoying in altmode -- seriously, just something to give the area around her head some cohesiveness in altmode would have been most welcome. The rear of the car being somewhat small (because the boots are so big) is also an odd look, but it...

Huh. Must have missed it. Still says November for me for that pack, although Twin Twist etc are available.

Oh, is the Leadfoot two-pack also available now?

I go back and forth on Legacy Knock Out. Sometimes it seems like a decent Knock Out, and sometimes I want to find a spare Jazz head to turn it into a close-enough Zoom Zoom.

The latter, I think (combiner version of the Kuro Kara Kuri line). There IS a Furai Model (about ~60 average pricing) Megazord kit that is less stylized but iirc it's non-combining.

I'm glad they found a way to do an all-new Override. The compromises made for Minerva kind of undermined that release, sticking her with a robot mode that's serviceable but different enough from her own to be noticeable, and Elita's weird chunky "it has curves AND boxiness!" car altmode. Hope...

I totally get the appeal of more aesthetic-accurate releases that continue their lines. Would welcome those, as some of the compromises/blended styles in Legacy aren't quite landing for me. But some are, so those are cool too. It's kind of like when First Edition Bulkhead came about: it was...

I'm caught a bit off guard by a thread like this, as I remember my wishlisting on the old boards had a bunch of wishes already largely come true. Anyway, if Legacy is going to pull from the brand's history, here's my list of totally self-indulgent nonsense. G1-G2/G1-adjacent Beast Era...

I got the IDW Rodimus one but have yet to find the time to put it together. Got it to replace the Hot Flame 3P figure, which I found so scary to transform (probably my fault) he was going to be stuck in robot mode forever anyway. And aside from the lack of a smirking face, the Furai Model kit...

From the front page: new in-hand pics of SG Blaster/Rewind and SG Magnus.

Also, preorders for Furai Model Arcee are up along with a new gallery. The "female robot = humanoid in bikini" look continues to be the signature aesthetic, but the articulation on this looks great as always.

Lot of new reveals for Furai Model and Kuro Kara Kuri this week. Frickin' GILTHOR. Kuro Kara Kuri: G1 Starscream, G1 Jazz, and ROTF Jet Power Optimus Prime:

Thanks. I don't do a lot of Walmart or US-based online shopping in general, so not sure what to look for and the lower price seemed too good a deal to be the case (not that I know what DVD sets go for these days). It'll be nice to have a compact (well, 19-disc) collection of this show on...

These days it's mostly sentimental value and "too cool to throw out", for me. A lot of stuff old and new, mostly the unique/cool packaging (Mini-con multipacks, United box sets, Takara exclusives Throne of the Primes, Arcade Renegades -- kinda want to find a second copy of that last to keep...
