I thought it already did, that Manju Netsuke Optimus Prime one. 660000 yen/ $4532. I admit I didn't preorder it...though I still regret that the gold chrome toilet paper Botbot never made it out, that should have been the prize for surviving 2020.

My own active acquisitions are largely done now, since my nephew is getting his own. But if something REALLY nice comes up I am open to it, like Liokaiser or the Origins trio I grabbed when they came out.

I've never been clear on the boat thing. Once I get past the step where the infomercial guy saws the boat in half and tapes it back in place, I get lost... I do look forwards to the stand, thanks to HasLab I have TWO places my Transformers can say "Go", a deathcoatrack will help so they don't...

But how can you even know that till you build it into a boat and check its speed?

None chucks...? Hold up, you mean my dumb sarcasm posts a few pages back were RIGHT....?! ...I'm scared now... I'm also picturing Liokaiser tugging hard on his whatever-they-are, which are stuck to a very large fridge, asking who in their right mind decided to make them magnetic ANYWAY...

In anticipation of getting chucks, here is a celebratory comic of Chuck anticipating getting chucked. It's from the never-released compilation, "You're doomed, Charlie Brown."

I thought it was especially funny given the vehicle/beast mixes in the same year RID Omega is coming out. Now we just need a Beast Machines homage to throw into the mix.

I took advantage of the Pulse sale a while back to get some extra stuff, so I'd be set for my nephew's birthday whatever happens.

"So I saw Optimus wilddocking with a giraffe the other day-" "Just let the 'Wild King' know his life choices are his own business."

Expected, but still not fun. Negotiating 'lower production costs'. Wonderful. QC was a lottery as-is... https://toynewsi.com/278-56892

Having finally looked it up, I still wonder if the Thundercats Heman is actually INTENDED to be a homage to 200x version King Grayskull. It certainly could pass as a workable version for anyone who was unable to get the crowdfund Eternia exclusive one. I am glad they left the Sword of Plundarr...

42! ..no...no, doesn't work...never mind.

That raises even MORE questions. Like how many quartrex to a quartex, how many quartex to the gallon, how many gallons per Shanix, and how many cortexes to do these conversion factors?! Geeze...how many Galactic Credits would you have to pay people to just use rational units of measure, like...

And re: Netflix, if someone couldn't get the Eternia crowdfund exclusive King Grayskull from Revelations, it wouldn't be hard to repurpose that Thundercats He-Man as a variation on the prior 2000s series one. It looks really close, unless I'm just misremembering.

I suppose the big question is, will this new set have anything on the box that helps us with unit conversion? Because it's been four decades and I'm still not sure how many Cortex to the Vorn, or Vorn to pounds sterling, or how the Canadian Dollar factors in any of this.

Not bad, though I had been hoping for a 'no clear parts' version simply for durability, like the 'Retro' repaints of Bumblebee and Gears coming out.

In my own mind, I had Scare Glow and the old Super7 Transforming He Man (glow in the dark) as ghosts of the two from a side reality where they'd mutually fought to the death. And discrepancies between their appearances and the 'live' versions is due to a mix of alternate reality and fading...

These are quite a bit larger than expected for '5.5 in scale'. I actually WILL have to figure out shelf spacing...also, Killbison's cannon DOES have ports on top, so the Jaluga missiles will hopefully fit! I will use the constant spelling changes to justify myself calling it the Beastforce...

I'd considered, given the amount of clear plastic in that set, getting a spare copy of each of the three since my nephew really likes them, but I haven't done it yet. This may be a better bet, since it won't all be just the same thing all over again, it'll add some variation.

Just so you know, all this talk of misdriven pins, combined with the sheer number of pins that have to be driven in a combiner that's full of mirror-imaged parts, is giving me, to quote Frankie Mouse from the Hitchhiker's Guide, the "screaming heebie-jeebies".
