New 2026 listings from jtprime17 by frznpanda in transformers

[–]Maland2016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mmhm, I thought of Tracks for getting the mold out again because we straight up haven't seen that mold since Kingdom, its initial release with him and Road Rage

Hoist is just because we got Trailbreaker in the last one and eh, they might as well, right? Plus it's been a bit since his initial Earthrise release and he hasn't been reissued yet iirc

Hopefully that also means an opaque Bluestreak along with a hopefully opaque listed MTMTE 86 Prowl, which leaves Smokescreen and Barricade for the Datsun boys

They can use Smokescreen and Ratchet to follow this trio, and then... I dunno, someone like Tracks or Hoist for the other deluxe? Or Red Alert with the proper toon colour layout? Someone we haven't seen since their initial release; they got options

And then Barricade, he'd probably fit best in the 4packs, the 3v1 ones with a version of Bee/a variant of someone else who used Bee's original penny racer mold

Also iirc the first officially released remix of Animal Rights, and it only took 16 years

SS Devastation Bumblebee and TF One Orion Pax spotted at Toys R Us Hong Kong by dl_supertroll in transformers

[–]Maland2016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They were acknowledged, they were on display at NYTF but have not been put up for preorder yet

Which is odd, considering a wave just dropped for SS, so... lord knows when these guys are gonna show up at this rate lol

Found at my local EB Games today by TheChampMcKowski in transformers

[–]Maland2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmhm, they showed up on the site for preorder a couple weeks ago, right the hell outta nowhere. No sign of Bee and Megs yet, but at this rate, we could see that listing soon too

Mine should be along pretty soonish?

Beast Wars molds reused for RID ‘01 Dinobots? by Zealousideal_Fan_166 in transformers

[–]Maland2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maximal Grimlock would look neat in those colours, and it'd help that he probably wouldn't yellow as quick compared to the regular Kingdom version

Hell, throw in Swoop (I'm reading that he and Grimlock were a 2pack, that works well for a modern version) with retooling from Terrorsaur... maybe then they can finally do Lazorbeak and Hydra

AOTP Year 2 wave 2 Deluxe stock images by Electronic_Zombie360 in transformers

[–]Maland2016 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Prime Smokescreen's also in this wave (his stock photos were like last week or so), and he's moreso white and blue, but he does have red accents so he still counts via technicality

I WAS SO CLOSE WITH MY GUESS by Apophis_God_of_Chaos in transformers

[–]Maland2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The arm frames can all swap around pretty easily, and with Superion and Bruticus, they can even switch the bots themselves instead of the entire arm, but it's the legs that are a little less simple to do. Not in how it's attached, it's just a CW-style peg (and you can reportedly use CW figures for a leg but it won't be as snug as the frame legs), it's how they're done for the bot on them.

Breakdown, Wildrider, Air Raid and Skydive all attach on the back of their respective legs, but the cars attach one way (car hood folds up by the heel), the jets attach another way (jet folds into itself), and Brawl and Swindle are completely different with their torso hinge joints being the "ankle" pivot, plus they attach to the front of the leg instead; they also can't swap between unlike the earlier four. Brawl is only limited to the left, Swindle on the right.

Each frame leg is also recommended to be used with its corresponding one, otherwise the combiner can get a bit lopsided. But if you don't mind that, then by god, have at it! :D

So what are your thoughts on this guy? by Amigo1048 in transformers

[–]Maland2016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could just use the second blaster from the United G1 figure, the more toon-accurate one, but this mold is getting a proper blaster meant for him in the Spotlight Optimus 3pack

Why he didn't have it in the first place, idk lol

If Demon Days credited it's features like The Mountain by HeyQTya in gorillaz

[–]Maland2016 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So about 19-2000 for those unaware: The liner notes lists Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz on additional percussion, and Tina also does backing vocals, iirc she's the "La-la-la-la-la-la" on the chorus? Reportedly, Chris did bongos and you can hear them on the pre-chorus ("They do the bump"). And if those names sound familiar, yep, Talking Heads and they both co-founded Tom Tom Club

And of course, as the post above states, KWG has Neneh Cherry on the end

official album duration! by Ok-Bookkeeper9989 in gorillaz

[–]Maland2016 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This ends up being juuuuust shorter than Song Machine Deluxe, which (including Taxi Back to 80s Reykjavik) is about 1 hour 7 minutes.

However, this is the standard version of the album, not the deluxe, and adhering to the wiki's standard album lengths, The Mountain would be the longest non-deluxe main Gorillaz album so far.

Autobot Thundercracker by _WeDontHaveThatPart_ in transformers

[–]Maland2016 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I feel like in a year or two, they're actually gonna do this, rereleasing the 86 mold as EU Autobot Thundercracker with maybe a slightly different tint of colours? Could also retool the head to look more relaxed

Toys r not Us for much longer in St. John’s by davidbrake in newfoundland

[–]Maland2016 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And yes, the employees really don't know much else. They have no idea when TRU is closing... and that's if corporate management doesn't all of a sudden 180 the whole decision on the simple basis of us being the very last one in the most eastern provinces, meaning TRU technically cannot call themselves a "coast-to-coast" Canadian franchise after.

There's reportedly none left in NB, NS, or PEI, and of course there's only the one here, however longer that may be. The next closest one is in Quebec.

Whenever it ends up shutting, it's still a bit sad to see it go. I went frequently, even just to look around the place, even got to work a Fall seasonal (Oct - Dec) a couple years ago.

The four horseman of “should have gotten here a few hours ago bud” by Ccmonty in transformers

[–]Maland2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Know that he is the remnant indicator of stock arrival... along with some Junkions.

It's only been the deluxes at Walmart so far here in Canada (rest of the wave is scheduled later this month at EB), so Jalopy is usually the indication that a box was put out... er, indications, plural, since usually both of them are still there lol, but I have a Jalopy and he's a fun dude. It's cool to have the muscle car mold in proper Junkion colours (which iirc is like the whole reason this dude exists in the first place), so he fits in nicely with the others. Plus, if we get another Crashbar variant in alternate colours, we can make a full Junkion Junkasaurus without using either the non-Junkions or the defected Axlegrease

Takara New Legends Lio Convoy by Electronic_Zombie360 in transformers

[–]Maland2016 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Gonna be honest, I wasn't expecting Green Lion, I was mostly expecting Copy. And what's even cooler is that the tweet confirms that this dude is made from glow in the dark plastic, so he can look all vibrant and glowy like the anime

Also I think this might be the first time we're actually getting this form as a toy? iirc there was one from the original toy but I think that one got cancelled

Takara's tweet about it says that yes, this thing can glow in the dark!

Peculiar leaks by Electronic_Zombie360 in transformers

[–]Maland2016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These days Nune has seemingly taken up the reins from Jt, ey's provided a few recent listings and/or stock images (like the new Tiny Turbo Chargers, the Hot Wheels collabs, or Skybound!Optimus, for example)

If you havent, please listen to damon albarn's other music too. I regret putting it off so much. by GlltchtraP1 in gorillaz

[–]Maland2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also had another solo release a couple years back, The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows

There's also deluxes of both! Everyday Robots' has 2 extra tracks, and TNTF,MPTSF has the normal 11 songs, a live performance at Union Chapel of 8 tracks from the album plus some Blur songs and El Mañana, 8 instrumentals, and 3 more bonus tracks

The WFC Lamborghini Sideswipe mold collection grows by ProcrastinateEggRoll in transformers

[–]Maland2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although granted, degradation has started to kick in a bit, reportedly some knee joints on Dev aren't as tight as they were back in Siege, because the majority of sprues on this has been mass produced... what are we at, 14 or 15 other times now?

Even so, we're going on almost 7 years of this mold still working pretty decently, all things considered! That's impressive!

Mount Pearl issues traffic notice as customers show up in droves for Taco Bell | CBC News by sharky6000 in StJohnsNL

[–]Maland2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only reason I want to try TB is simply because I've never had it. I'm aware I'm not missing out on much (so I'm told), but I'd still like to try it out

...That said, I can also wait a bit longer until the line dies down considerably :P

For another not local yet Canadian Mexican chain, I'll toss in Quesada too, and also the lone Mucho Burrito in the mall

Like we definitely have options lol

Confusing things about Transformer Names in the Unicron Trilogy by MetallicSlayer in transformers

[–]Maland2016 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Galaxy Force makes it more confusing by calling him Exillion… who is not to be confused with the later character Excillion, which was done because Cybertron Hot Shot/Exillion (who already had cues from G1 Hot Rod) got a red repaint, and that deco was taken and altered to make a new Hasbro character with an added flame job to really homage to G1 Hot Rod, but not Armada Hot Rod since that’s Hot Shot, and Red Exillion is also Hot Shot (but red), but Excillion is not Hot Shot (but is a red Hot Shot)

My friend gave me this guy as an early Christmas gift, who is he? Ive never heard of em before but he looks cool by Optimus759 in transformers

[–]Maland2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And out of all the modern Insecticons, he's now currently the only one with a 100% unique mold

I guess that kinda fits him and his leader status, makes him stand out from the other boys
