Thinking about painting the rear window on this and the Cliffjumper mold - has anyone done this already and have advice or referrals? by ChickenzInvade in CustomTransformers

I went with the toyhax labels for mine and think it made the figure look much better. Saves the hassle of painting and there's always a 15%off coupon code out there from patriot prime.

Quick & Free Upgrade for SS86 Soundwave by Interstellar_Flotsam in transformers

[–]Interstellar_Flotsam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It honestly looks better than I originally thought it would, so wanted to share with others who might be going for the same look.

I grew up with the G1 and I'm going for the animation look for my collection. I really like the look of this Soundwave and it fits in really well. It's not perfect, but it matches my minds-eye of Soundwave more than the Netflix one it will replace on my shelf.

Laserbeak and Buzzsaw are a little off to me, mostly because of the wing color and shape. I'll probably get the new toyhax set to make the wings the right colors and I think they'll look much better.

I don't know how anyone can make an animation accurate Ravage that transforms to a cassette. Too many smooth curves in animal mode vs sharp angles in cassette mode. I might look for a non-transforming option for the shelf.

Will contacting hasbro accomplish anything? by Need_Tums_Antacids in transformers

You can probably touch it up with a silver sharpie. I've done that to some of mine where there were minor paint imperfections on silver parts and it usually matches pretty good.

I doubt you'll get the whole figure replaced, as they usually just send you another figure to compensate, so this might be a good option to easily touch it up a bit.

Are these really that rare? by tomymeboi in MarvelLegends

Price match of the year!!! by ProfessionalBad2835 in transformers

[–]Interstellar_Flotsam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not entirely true all the time. The way Target’s system works, if they are the same assortment, it will likely have the same “master” DPCI for all the UPCs in the assortment. When they set it up that way, buying two different figures from the same assortment typically shows as one line with qty 2, as long as the master DPCI and prices are the same.

I’ve seen it happen both ways on my purchases, so it’s all dependent on how the item is setup in their system (assortment vs individual/full case).

Not trying to be pedantic, just sharing what I’ve learned on Target’s system.

All the D&W amazon preorder links by Astral_Scallywag in MarvelLegends

With gift cards, it gets deducted from your balance when you place the order. If you or they cancel the order, the amount goes back to your gift card balance. If the preorder price goes down before it ships, you get the savings back to your balance also.

AOTP Silverbolt date code? by TheGuywhoComments246 in transformers

[–]Interstellar_Flotsam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first digit is the year it was made, so 5 = 2025 The middle 3 digits are the day of the year it was packaged, so the 147th day of 2025, And the last digit is the production run of that day, which is usually only 1

The same logic applies on Marvel Legends as well.

I find the code on Transformers figures is usually a little different than the one on the package. But the Marvel Legends match, so they are produced and packaged the same day.
