Blokees

[Rhinox]

So I've put together 2 waves of their Galaxy versions. I love them. They're fun, quick builds and are just fantastic toys. Almost like Transformers branded Stikfas, for those of us old enough to remember those guys. (God, I miss Stikfas)

Today I got wave one of their Defender series. These are simpler and a lot smaller. Very chibi, very adorable. Poseability remains good, details are good. They're great. I also got Action Series Optimus and Megatron. It'll be a bit before I get them put together but I'm looking forward to it.

Ooh! My chase is the metallic Megatron figure!

For those interested, here's a nice comparison picture. We have Blokees Scavenger in his Galaxy wave form, his Defender wave form, Defender vehicle mode and, for comparison, Hulkie vehicle mode.

But do you remember Xevoz, Stikfas's attempt at a tabletop game?

---Dave, still has a few boxes full of Xevoz....

Mine are all in a box at my parent's house. Had all of the first few waves. Missed the hard to find last wave stuff.
Loved the cowboy.

I still have a bin full of Xevoz somewhere. They were fun.

I have a pair of Xevoz that got re-purposed into Cobra robots.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I remember Stikfas. I do not remember Xevoz.

*googles*

Oh. It was a Hasbro thing. Why does that not surprise me?

So while out upgrading my dad's phone, I stopped by a local Vintage Stock. They had 2 cases of "Shining Version" Blokees! These are blind packs with batteries and light up eyes and torsos! They had 5 and I took them all. Got a Grimlock, Beachcomber, Sideswipe, and 2 Sunstorms!

As I don't need a double, I figured I'd put it here. Would anyone be interested in the spare Sunstorm? The package is opened to confirm identity, but otherwise they haven't been removed from the bags. He cost me $10, I'd take 5 and shipping if anyone would like.

For those interested in what he looks like. . . .

I remember (and still have some of) the figures, but I'd forgotten about the whole game aspect.

 

[Dvandom]

Very appropriate look for Sunstorm there.

I've been meaning to check out that new Stikfas thing... Wait...

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

My case of Shining wave 2 just hit my PoL, and I'll have to ship next week due to other stuff timing out.

. . . . so thanks to changing my internet service provider I got a 200 dollar prepaid card. Can't really use it to pay bills or anything so, hug it. I ordered all of the Transformers Blokees I don't have. Including the just released second wave of the tiny defender class.
In case it hasn't made the news here, Blokees has confirmed that their Constructicon vehicle kits in the mini defender class will be able to combine together to make a Devastator!
I'm very excited about this. I think I like the little Defender class more than the standard galaxy class kits. And at $35 for an entire wave, they're a really good bargain.

 

[Exatron]

I had seen rumors about Devastator, but no confirmation before this, so thanks for that! Guess I'm going to have to expand into the Defenders too, now.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Since there's no chance of a Core Devastator anymore I will settle for this.

All things considered, not a bad plan. 35 per wave, each wave has 12 figures. Sell the ones you don't want and you may end up with more than you paid out.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I imagine eBay's going to have an absolute flood of all the non-Devastator bots.
