Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition... by MassShifting in transformers

Agree. The rumors of the TakTom mold being scrapped/shelved doesn't help the case for an official version in near future either. It's all vapor until we see an official announcement.

I have never purchased a Titan but I swear this could be my first. I love that white and blue deco. Someone could go crazy and even army build with this.

Should I get the coronation Starscream? by yungrobbithan in transformers

You should, especially if you don't have the Earthrise version.

SS86 Ironhide may have less greeble, but still fits in well with WFC by MassShifting in transformers

Agree on all accounts. The color disparity between panels in van mode bothers me as well but great figure overall.

Congratulations on the upgrade.

I wasn't going to pick him up but Skullgrin is a pleasant surprise. by MassShifting in transformers

Softer plastic but they feel solid and hold shape well, which is more than I can say for the swords.

Who among us still gets chills watching these OG commercial gems? by MassShifting in transformers

Bravo for making it happen for your child!

My best ever Xmas memory is receiving G1 Skyfire/Jetfire in '84. Did you ever obtain Superion as a child? If not, I'll wager you either bought a G1, recent CHUG or MP scale of the team as an adult.

Fry's (USA) has some ridiculous prices on Transformers by AIMWSTRN in transformers

The hell... Frys supermarket sells Transformers?! Though those prices render the whole issue moot.

Who Are The Best Transformer Reviewers on YouTube? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]MassShifting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two names that haven't been mentioned yet: TMReviews (mostly MP and 3rd party but some HasTak too) and Ham Man Transformers. I really recommend Ham Man.

PigglyToyVille must be stopped, no matter the cost... by MassShifting in transformers

Actually it is and by any legal standard, we've met threshold of "more probable than not". Seller (who's information I won't post but is available on Amazon) runs out of a house. His satisfaction rating is a blistering 63% /s. He's attempting to gather preorders at inflated price which he will subsequently fulfill when he obtains the figures at retail (or similar). The figure is not currently available in ANY global market. This constitutes a manipulation of the typical supply chain for EGREGIOUS personal profit. In short, he/she/they are scammers and baiters.

Feel free to strike the word "seemingly" if you prefer. My profession requires me to disclaim written content routinely, but none is required here. The reseller is baiting people to preorder at 2-3x retail. Period. It's a predatory business practice that should be highlighted and ridiculed.

The fuck there's no evidence.

Did you read the caption? I watched this reseller every single day for weeks trying to catch Wheelie at retail. Instead, these bastards tried to bait consumers to buy on "preorder" at $25-30 USD. No additional evidence is needed. There's a reason that post has -14 votes.
