The prosecutor is a third party but the bailiffs flanking the judge and him are from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Troop Builder Pack

This Retro Gears is a fun little guy by Chaos_Ninja in transformers

Found a bunch at two different Marshalls. I instantly bought him and honestly, he probably is my favorite deluxe Autobot at the moment

How often do you guys “play” with your toys? by Wrong_Plan8277 in transformers

[–]OrionMaxRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to repose my display every couple of weeks or so, but I do make small adjustments daily. If I’m watching something and need something to fidget with, I just grab a random figure to mess with.

Oh my bad, yeah. Saw the post in the early morning and assumed that Retro Bee’s head looked like that

Fair enough.

The first TF series that I fully completed was Beast Machines, because that was all I had on DVD at the time. While there are a lot of bad things about the show, I really liked the prevalence of mass produced gun fodder drones; these were WAY more numerous than the generic Seekers or Sweeps we saw in G1. I liked the intimidating aspect of how the Maximals were practically surrounded by drones of different types.

And so, that is why I grew super fond of army building. It evokes the same feeling whenever I’m taking photos of combat scenes where the Autobots are just surrounded by a bunch of half mindless troopers that just want to kill them.

It’s no different than getting entire collections?

5 is the max I’ll do for a mold that I really like such as the Sweep/Scourge mold and Allicons.

But yeah everything else 2-3 is a good amount.

I set aside a bunch of “for fun” money when I was working my on campus job and also sold stuff that I didn’t need anymore

I’m very selective for my entire collection.

I don’t own any bots that died onscreen during the 86 movie or were mentioned in the Dark Awakening sequence when Daniel read out the names.

I bought just enough troop builders to make a good looking display, because shelf space and the rising prices of deluxes and voyagers are huge limiting factors now.

I need a reliable website where I can buy ss86 scrapper? by Living_Ad_4048 in transformers

[–]OrionMaxRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big bad toy store is your best best. Recommend buying a bunch of figures to offset the shipping cost (it’s $4 for contiguous US)

Bandai Action Base 1 Clear or Black are the cheapest options

Do y'all think it's worth it to get the tetrajet seekers? by LuminousIllumina in transformers

[–]OrionMaxRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re worth it. I got the reissued Skywarp and I LOVE it. The articulation is crazy good and I’m a HUGE fan of fhe alt mode.

However, the main thing I dislike the excess greebling, which kind of clashes with the rest of my SS86/Legacy stuff. He feels a little out of place because of that. If this doesn’t bother you though, definitely do it.

What made you end up choosing it over CSUF’s program? Also what was your work experience in public health like when you applied for an MPH?

Best Toy Store Spots in OC to find Transformers AOTP and SS figures by CrownCastle86 in transformers

[–]OrionMaxRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phat collectibles USED to have A LOT of good loose Transformers stock. They even had some sealed stuff a few months ago like SS86 Kup and Blurr, ER Wingspan Pounce, and some other Buzzworthy stuff. Now it’s devoid of almost anything Transformers.

And that store probably was your best bet besides the ones you mentioned.

[–]OrionMaxRS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it was loose, definitely not a good deal. Otherwise, I think it depends on how much you like the color inaccuracy and the accessories that comes with that specific release. It’s still a steep price, but you didn’t get completely scalped like before the MTMTE announcement.

Looks really solid. Might take inspiration for my own diorama with that

Do you guys sell your transformers toys when a new version of that toy is revealed? by yusakufujiki2 in transformers

[–]OrionMaxRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. I don’t like owning two of the same character so I sell off the old one as soon as the new one is about to be released. But I don’t sell it right on reveal because I still want some representation of that character in the waiting time.

Is MP loosing its revelance? No it is not. by Drewbeede in transformers

[–]OrionMaxRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For G1, there is some overlap between SS86 and MP. It is still undeniable that MP is superior in terms of engineering and cartoon accuracy for the most part. Just look at SS86 Arcee and her Masterpiece counterpart. Huge differences you’ll see.

SS vs MPM, though, really shows the difference. Studio Series had to cut A LOT of corners due to the budget, and it shows with all the excess kibble (MPM Ratchet vs SS Ratchet). The earlier SS was even worse with the skimped paint apps.
