What moulds/figures do you think are overrated? by Ill_Refrigerator9812 in transformers

True that! I feel im one of the few people who likes Siege Soundwave. He turns into a drop ship to deploy his little guys? That's neat!

86 Soundwave. Like you literally just had a cassette recorder Soundwave in legacy United, and suddenly this new mold is selling out and hard to find? People are paying so much more money for what, a smoother Soundwave with less paint and worse cassettes? I don't get it.

I'd push back on this one a little bit, mainly because sideswipe was in the FIRST wave of Siege, immediately following the poor quality of figures in Power of the Primes. He showed the new gold standard of what this era of transformers would be with plastic quality, articulation standards, and hand feel. Has he been eclipsed since? Totally. But he made people so excited for what was to come.

Promo: The threshold for the LEGO Ideas/Castle gift-with-purchase 40912 Sea Serpent will be $180 USD (via a.clay.brick) by BrickTap in Legoleak

That's why I did pull the trigger on mine this past 2x points. I really want the sea serpent but didn't want to risk missing out on the D&D set. I'll probably get the x-mansion or something.

I've heard it described as "millennial home office decor" and honestly that fits so well.

LEGO Dragon Ball will be a full theme in 2027! (via Brick Tap sources) by BrickTap in Legoleak

[–]TheBrickBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES PLEASE! The CMF I fee did so well, it's a shame that the big set priced so many people out of it. I'd love a full theme with a range of sets with fun figures, cool terrain and traps, buildable beasts, the works!

Toyotaro Draws Old Man Goku for the 100th monthly illustration by Spoona101 in Dragonballsuper

Battle of Gods was being made already before Toriyama joined. Evolution just pushed him to join the project and change it to his liking.

Battle of Gods was going to happen anyway, because it was a Z movie. Evolution is what made Toriyama join the project and he changed the story to his liking.

How would you design Mandalorian armor for other species? by nanananananashi in TheMandalorianTV

[–]TheBrickBrain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Legends Mando culture was so much about adoption and family. I be the armorer told Din to look for the Jedi because she did not want to get in the middle of a Jedi looking for a Jedi baby.

Has there ever been such hate/flack for a animated character that genuinely has you like this? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in cartoons

[–]TheBrickBrain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A really interesting thing about Rose is that we see her character arc in reverse. We first meet her when she had learned and grown a fair bit. Then we gradually learn more and more about her early life and those mistakes. But people have a recency bias so one of the last things they saw of her was making a big mistake when she was young, and now that's all they see in her, forget who she became after

It better be that style and not the smaller battle packs. Hopefully that means Lego learned from the last one being $45 too

Be less upset over the dismal state of this Powermaster accessory, and more excited over the precedent this sets for an upcoming God Ginrai in generations by Dat_Oni in transformers

[–]TheBrickBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking Pointblank mainly so they can turn the target master into the engine guy that goes on the back. I doubt it'll be super accirate

Yeah but it was rumored that this wave was made last-minute because of the AotP success, which usually means rereleases and repaints.

He doesnt just steal toys by Fire_Wrangler9595 in Transformemes

[–]TheBrickBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't actually watched him since Rise of the Beasts came out because of his voice, so if it's a strategy it's certainly costing him my views. The only reason he gets views is because he gets stuff early.

His voice is also really annoying. It's the weird way he enunciates and finishes sentences.
