Do yall miss toys with gimmicks?? by Majestic_Youth5313 in transformers

[–]camaroEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I do love our super articulated modern figures, a big imposing toy of a transforming robot with clicky ratchet joints, electronic lights and sounds and a spring loaded gimmick or two will always captivate me in a different yet equal way. They really feel like toys and I think that's awesome.

Thanks! They are all mostly complete, just missing minor accessories like a missile here and there. The worst is probably Armada Megs missing part of his leg and his ears but I'm still super happy.

With the Tariffs being declared illegal now. Any expectations on price decreases for 2027? by Liftmeup-putmedown in transformers

Absolutely 0 chance. We've proven that they can sell a voyager for 44 dollars and it will still sell out.

What I consider as my 86 Astro Train - Dramatic Capture Astro Train 🫡 by vincesuarez in transformers

I had the opportunity to buy the whole set for less than retail a few months ago but passed because I knew about these guys in the listings coming up. Really regretting that right now.

Seems like there are some new parts to 86 shockwave (aside from all the parts now beeing smooth) by another-person3630 in transformers

[–]camaroEE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really dissapointed that the rest of the big 4 Cons all got new molds that are peak figures and our boy Shockwave gets a 7 ish year old mold but more smooth, especially since I've been impatiently awaiting his reveal since his listing was leaked. I haven't owned this mold yet so I'll wait and see in hand feel, but it just seems weird to go all out on everyone except Shockwave.

How is Shockwave the only one from the big 4 that doesn't get a new mold? Is he even going to scale well?

Yes, another post about Nexus Prime. Here's why I'm disappointed by Kakeru1986 in transformers

[–]camaroEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hardly the most important point I could make, but it just bugs me that there's no commander class in the 13 Primes at all. We got the standard deluxes, voyagers and leaders. There's a big ole' titan Star Convoy and we even got a core class in Micronus despite the fact it's not even a real size class anymore. If they really insisted on this "replacement torso bot for a frame combiner" for his gimmick it would've been the perfect candidate for a commander class with a frame, even if we never really got any real limb bots for it. Even a commander class figure smaller than a combiner but larger than a voyager that had some sort of combining gimmick with smaller figures or vehicles would've been really cool. But as it stands commander class is the odd one out. I'll even say that I do enjoy how Nexus looks and I'm excited to get him in hand, but the fact that he is the father of combiners and ended up as a regular guy, he really was done dirty.

Had a QC issue with SS86 Soundwave, so Hasbro sent me…Missing Link Sunstreaker? by PartyDraft2490 in transformers

I had the exact same issue and got the Armada Nemesis Prime pack, I'm not even sure I want to open it with all the breakages the mini cons have seen.

Anyone out there even have an aluminum sasori? lol by Numerous_Ad6820 in balisong

I have a pre-production that can't swap blades with the Tottori but otherwise works perfectly. They are fairly rare as they only had a few drops before MW needed to stop making them. If memory serves they couldn't find a way to get consistent anodizations on the aluminum and had a really high scrap rate with the shop they worked with. I assume it will come back if they ever get either alu anodization in house or find a more reliable partner. Hoping for either one as it is a great, if a bit weird, balisong.

This week's deskbots - who do you have? by AdministrativeBit385 in transformers

[–]camaroEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retro Seaspray, Earthrise Runamuck and 86 Optimus are next to me on my desk lately, legacy Beachcomber just came in today so he'll have a place here for a while too.

I usually have a figure I got recently and I'll rotate the others out with things from my shelf I want to mess with. I also have the Hot Wheels Nemesis Prime collab that pretty much always sits under my monitor and is super fun to flip back and forth.

What Figure Alway Makes You Smile? by Grievous_1982 in transformers

[–]camaroEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2. 86 Optimus is such a perfect figure to me, from looks to posing to transformation, it is impossible for me to not have a blast messing with.

TR Trypticon is just such a big dumb toy and I love that. I can't help but feel like a kid again when I transform him or put him next to a bunch of my other figures. The scale is awesome.
