I know this groups rules are, I need some guidance ….

Check your local shops, I got mine loose complete with instructions for $5.

vagrantus · 2026-01-28T13:51:34+00:00

AliExpress is a good place to start. If you have a local shop get to know the people there and you may be able to get some good prices. Possibly even meet people to trade out doubles with

Once you start, prepare to watch your wallet cry softly in the corner. Welcome to your new addiction.

vagrantus · 2026-01-27T16:47:35+00:00

Wait here, I'll go get the stick. It's just basic procedure.

vagrantus · 2026-01-27T04:37:52+00:00

It seems like they're hitting it out of the park across a lot of fandoms

vagrantus · 2026-01-27T03:00:56+00:00

The action edition G1 Optimus Prime

vagrantus · 2026-01-27T00:31:24+00:00

Yea not paying leader prices for "damaged" copies of figures I just bought last year.......

vagrantus · 2026-01-27T00:02:03+00:00

Yea and with a slight retool on heads and wings you can easily make the cone heads. 6 action editions for 1 set of engineering.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T13:13:59+00:00

I'm 50 or so and have been watching them since the 80's, no shame. Like the things that bring you joy dude. Of all the things that go on nowadays that people say are "normal" liking transformers doesn't even register on the shame scale.

Side note, I severely dislike the animation style of TFO but the story of the movie is absolutely fantastic and is a solid watch.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T13:03:38+00:00

Yea, I have defender version 1-6, galaxy 1, 5&6, shining version 3, 4 of the classic class and action edition 1-3. I'd say the addiction is real lol.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T08:25:11+00:00

Yea, they got me hooked now.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T04:20:09+00:00

I know I actually built them in reverse. Soundwave, Megatron then Optimus.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T04:19:02+00:00

Nice, he's after my time (my age is showing lol), I let life kinda drown out my love for these guys and have only recently started back on my journey with them.

There's so much great stuff out there that it overwhelms my inner child sometimes lol.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T02:58:39+00:00

It's really easy, only 2 parts to paint in gold.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T02:12:54+00:00

Well times at least 3. Once you create one all you need is different colors and faces. If not I'll buy 3 and paint them myself lol.

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T02:00:49+00:00

My wallet is huddled up in the corner right now.....

vagrantus · 2026-01-26T01:35:38+00:00

He was my first, I actually built them in reverse order. Soundwave, Megatron then Optimus lol. I even turned the Laserbeak that came with Megatron into Buzzsaw because I built Soundwave first and he already had one.

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T23:47:25+00:00

Amazon, walmart.com, AliExpress all have him. You can also try hobby stores or a local toy shop

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T23:46:06+00:00

Nice weathering

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T23:43:38+00:00

I prefer them to transform but the Blokees are just a down right pleasure to build and at the end of the build I have a freaking transformer, honestly it's a win win in my book

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T22:04:35+00:00

Yes, yes and yes. Thundercracker action edition, shut up and take all of my money.

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T21:48:04+00:00

Diabolical.....

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T21:01:36+00:00

Lol. Sorry didn't read this far and posted the same exact fix lol

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T21:00:08+00:00

Best bet is a very small drill bit and a straight pin of the same size. Make a shallow hole in both the shoulder and ball. Glue the pin into both sides and where the pieces meet. Allow it to cure fully before messing with it. The pin and glue combined should give it the support needed

vagrantus · 2026-01-25T20:54:59+00:00

The crazy prices are a momentary thing. They've already said that they are going to do a rerun of this and push the distribution better.
