Golden Arms Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I ordered BB for HLJ. I got my notice about 2 days ago. Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Just realized that with simple limp swaps, T30 Jetfire has a pretty decent Gerwalk mode Not sure if this has already been done, but I'm stoked. Can even hold his gun like a proper gerwalk'r Edited November 30, 2014 by skullmilitia Quote
Gakken85 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Paid for my BeeX2. Gonna have to sit there until UM comes out though. 85 bucks for two MP's is smooth sailing. Edited December 1, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote

Dangard Ace Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Now that's a price I'd pay for a Hasbro MP Autobot car. .... if I didn't already buy the Takara one and lived in the USA. Quote
mikeszekely Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Weird. The link is to the mobile site. If I go there, it shows up discounted but doesn't show any stores. If I go to the regular site, it tells me one of the two TRUs near me has it, but shows full price. Quote

It rang up for $70 but I showed them the website on my phone and they price matched it.So if you have some free time check your TRU, you never know! there you go. Quote
mikeszekely Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 from tfw: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/345546-official-new-sales-deals-coupons-thread-964.html#post11879285 there you go. Hmm. I'm a bit busy today, so maybe I'll check and see if the deal is still good tomorrow. The problem is deciding which TRU. My house is equidistant from two of them, but they're in opposite directions. So, it's a half hour drive to one, but if they don't have one and I want to check the other, it'll be an hour from one to the other. Oddly, I checked the link again to see if the price was still good, and the "ship to home" option looked active now. I tried it, but the price goes back up to $70 at the checkout. Not cool, TRU.

VFTF1 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 My TF collection is back and I'm really happy about the Stunticons and Arialbots... any word on Brainstorm? Got my Jetfire on the way. Quote
Scyla Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I had an epiphany on the commute back home (I'm sure someone else came up with this long time ago). The Autobots choose cars for disguise because they want to blend in very well and to drive a car around is way less suspicious than flying a jet through a monitored air space. The Desepticons don't give a sh** about stealth and if they are discovered by people or not. They just like to demonstrate they power and might. Quote
RD Blade Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 The comics have addressed that in a way. The idea is that each bot is born (or forged) as they are with whatever their alt mode is, be it truck, speedster, jet, microscope, etc. They can change their alt modes, but only to one within the same category. This explanation is from a couple years back (and I haven't read any recent books), so it may be different now. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 MP Prowl is back to $70 on ToysRUs.com. I was hoping to snag a second copy and dec it out w/ Reprolabels. Hopefully, it'll go on sale again. Quote
Roy Focker Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I ordered one then got a notice that it is out of stock and my order is on hold till they find more. I believe they are still going to honor that lower price. Quote

Megatron could've been a truck. lol Quote
RD Blade Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 The "Explore, explore!" bot should have been fired. He's part of an Autobot ship, but repairs the Decepticons first. Quote
JB0 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Ship's computer was damaged in the crash and millenia offline(and the beast wars breaking out inside it). It had lost IFF capability. Pretty sure that's both Marvel and cartoon canon. Quote
Scyla Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 GIGANTIC ACTION SCORPONOK? GIGANTIC ACTION SCORPONOK!!! This is a strange toy. I don't get the appeal. It is probably the intersection of Jumbo Machinder and Transformers collectors. Sadly no firing fist. Quote
Renato Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) What?? I had no idea there was a Japanese Reprolabels site! Just a couple of days before, I just ordered a set of MP Wheeljack rally car markings for 1 cent, and have to pay for shipping from wherever.... when I could have gotten it straight from here and paid everything for under a dollar!! EDIT -- I know it's not a big deal at all, it's just the timing as usual is perfect Edited December 3, 2014 by Renato Quote
Gunbuster Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I'm not sure if this was answered or not, but does anyone know why MP Bumblebee comes with 2 faces? Quote
technoblue Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure if this was answered or not, but does anyone know why MP Bumblebee comes with 2 faces? The face gimmick changes Bee's appearance. Out of the box, you get a happy face and a serious face. If you ordered from amazon.co.jp, then you also received the battle mask. I think there are also rumors about third party faces. Edited December 5, 2014 by technoblue Quote
Gunbuster Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Thanks Technoblue! .... I would have rather the battle mask... Quote
JB0 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Sega Genesis Megatron ! This is probably the first time I'm NOT going to advocate american supremacy on video game names. Megadrive Megatron is just so much fun to say! Genesis Megatron, by comparison... it rolls off the tongue like a thing that doesn't roll and sticks to tongues would. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) everytime i hear genesis i keep thinking this: genesis megatron version should have a built in voice be saying "Genesis Does." Edited December 6, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
JB0 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 Man, if they put electronics in him, they need to go all out. Pretty sure that they could fit an ACTUAL GENESIS in him with the modern chip. Sure the connectors would all have to be tiny and nonstandard, but... Quote

Gakken85 Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 They should make a megatron out of the nintendo light gun or something haha Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted December 6, 2014 Posted December 6, 2014 They should make a megatron out of the nintendo light gun or something haha true:) Quote
RD Blade Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) They should make a megatron out of the nintendo light gun or something haha That's a great idea. I don't think Nintendo wanted in on this. Too bad, because a light gun Megatron would've rocked. Or the Sega Master System Zillion gun. Edit: With Soundwave as the Master System!!

skullmilitia Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I just noticed Exhaust has been removed from HLJ's site... I hope that's not a bad sign. The Logo Morris is talking about, isn't really even that close of a resemblance. Quote
GU-11 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Just picked up my MP BB last night. The forearms were switched around (left forearm on the right arm, right forearm on the left), but it was no big deal--it was secured by screws, so it was a simple matter of switching them back. The holes where the side mirrors are supposed to fit into were a little problematic, though. Apparently, each hole also houses metal pins that act as a hinge to a panel on the hood. When properly installed, the pins are inserted deep into the hinge, leaving a 3mm space where the side mirrors are supposed to peg into. On mine, the one on the right didn't leave any space at all for the peg. I had to push the pin further in using thumb tacks and tiny screwdrivers. That pasty white-painted face looks much better in person, though. Overall, it's a nice representation of G1 Bumblebee. Quote
abbadon Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Isn't MP Bumblebee supposed to have only one side mirror (Left Side)? Quote
