Transformers Transformers: Toy Thread

Any retail store that sells toys, in Japan. So either an online store (pre-order for sure though), ebay, or a comic/hobby shop. But remember the retail price of these MP's is around $75-$80.

Does that mean any retail store that sells toys and in Japan or do you mean any retail store in japan. I hear people say that they found them in walmart here in the states and I have checked walmart.com, you can buy the MP Skywarp on their online store and have it shipped to a walmart near you for no shipping fee. Sorry if that seems like a dumb question but I just don't want to miss out again.
 
I still have my original Megs and Galvatron both unopened....do you know how hard it is to be 10 and not able to open such awesome toys....but keep in mind, I had no problems opening Blaster and Perceptor

Why have you not sold them on ebay yet? What are you waiting for?

-Retail stores in Japan (many people forget that in Japan you can walk into TRu and buy these MP and Encore toys)
-Specialty shops here in north america
-Online stores (including those guys who sell through Wal-Mart.com)
 
Bought these. Bumblebee kinda sucks. Love ratchet and startscream.




 
i don't hate bumblebee...but he's not the worse. I shaved off parts of his stinger so they fold all the way into his arms. Starscream's my favorite so far.

How's Blackarachnia?

I really dig her. Looks great and her alt mode is damn sweet.

in the Deluxe Class, an Arcee "Sleek Car", and in the Voyager Class Shockwave! There was also a further listing for something called "Electro Static S" which might be a part of a name of a repaint

Ratchet looks awesome. :woot:
I'd be excited about Unicron, too, if I didn't already have that one from Armada. The deco doesn't even look any different. Still a great figure, though.
 
i have the original 'ARMADA' issue of Unicron he is a complete bad ass of a figure. he is easily the tallest TF I known, only 20th Anniversary Prime comes close :wow:.

Oh we are. Just that Takara is releasing Ratchet first. Hasbro Ratchet will be in 2009.
 
Hey guys, just got back from base and picked up some Animated figs: Leader Megs, Lockdown, Grimlock and Voyager Optimus. Megs is a solid piece of work, best Animated TF I own followed second by Grimlock which is surprisingly easy to transform. I love the cartoony look and the flaming sword.

So far I really hate my Prime though, I was hoping for a few pointers. My Voyager Prime has a pretty obvious line going down its faceplate and I'm really not digging it. COuld anyone tell me the right colour scheme so I could pick up a jar and do my own retouching? Also, Prime's Torso Swivel is WAY too loose. I'm really not fancying that. Anyway I can tighten it? I've never done any custom jobs or retouching on any of my figs but I think I'd rather do it for Prime that buy another one. Any pointers? My biggest complaint on my Prime is the really obvious absence of the Autobot symbol. I mean, what the Hell???
 
Alternity Convoy and Henkei Stuntron Wildrider.

It's unfortunate Hasbro's been so reluctant to give us combiners lately, otherwise:
Mirage = Drag Strip
Sideswipe = Breakdown
Silverstreak = Dead End
Optimus = Motormaster (Yeah, I know they've already made two "evil" repaints of Optimus [Botcon '08 "Evil" Optimus and SDCC '08 Nemesis Prime), but throw enough gray on there and it'll get bought :woot:).
Heck, FansProject could just repaint their City Commander trailer set Menasor-style - it may be pricey, but it'll look a helluva lot better than that goofy Titanium Rodimus repaint from last year's SDCC.
 
The best part is that Wildrider there is a convention exclusive.
 
I was going to get supreme Optimus, but I dunno, he looks like a play school toy.
 
I finally managed to get a TFA Bulkhead at CC today for 5$ less than what Hasbro was selling them for. And in some small city in California I stopped of at a Target and managed to find 2 Oilslicks and a Soundwave. I bought Soundwave, of course
