VF-19 Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 An Ultra Magnus repaint. Well, I was expecting one sooner or later. It does look kinda nice to me. However, December is Predaking month! But what's killing me is WHEN in December is Predaking going to be released. I'm crossing my fingers for next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I can't say I'm too excited about the mpc magnus... if it is legit, seems to me like a pretty half-assed attempt... they could have at least given him his own gun and maybe something else other than the energy axe and a megatron repaint... when did he ever use either?

RichterX Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 When exactly did Prime use the Megatron gun either? That has always confused me... There is one episode of G1 where the Autobots and Decepticons cooperate I don't remember well but I think it was against Starscream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justvinnie Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 When exactly did Prime use the Megatron gun either? That has always confused me... several times. Against Bruticus on Cybertron and when there was this super exploding thingy that threaten to destroy all of them and Megatron transormed so Prime could fire it off and save their asses. Sorry it's been almost two decades since I've seen TF. But I do know there were several times when that happened. vinnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblueeyes Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 (edited) FYI; Alternators Grimlock now in stock at BBTS. So it shouldn't be that much longer before they start showing up in stores. ...or not! Just noticed they were already sold out. That was quick, the extra stock didn't even last a day! Sorry folks. But it still holds true that they should hit retailers before Christmas. Edited December 8, 2004 by trueblueeyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I hope Grims makes it out for the holidays. It's kind of funny how a glut of Streaks and Hounds has replaced the glut of Smokys and Swipes. And even though I already have Tracks and Meister, it would still be nice to see them out in larger numbers. My guess is that these toys move in such a way that it keeps store shelves behind by a couple months from what is actually available. Optimistically I'd like to see Grims by Xmas, but realistically I think we'll see him in late January/February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy438 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Well, I've been out of the states for 3 months, so I hope there are still some deadends, hounds, etc still in stock that I missed. So far I've only got Smokey and Swipes ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Check out this new book coming out: http://www.jive-ltd.co.jp/trans/index.html "Jive Entertainment has put up a page dedicated to a new encyclopedia dedicated to the first few series of G1 Transformers. The book, called Transformers First Series Complete, encompasses not only the Japanese figures, but also the U.S. release figures like Sky Lynx. The book contains pictures of the toys in all of their forms as well as history on their animation counterparts. One neat thing is that the figures will be compared to their pre-Transformer versions (Diaclone, Microchange, Microman, etc.) where applicable. The book is scheduled for an December 17th release, contains 144 pages, and a price of 2800 Yen (about $26.69 USD)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-19 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 While it saddens me that HLJ might not have Predaking by the end of December, it's probably a good thing, as it'll put it on my next credit card bill... But I'm still crossing my fingers for a December 15th release on HLJ.com. It's when the MPC Optimus Prime came out last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myriad Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Big Bad Toy Store.......... PREDAKING - ARRIVES 12/14! I overnighted a sample from Japan that justcame in this morning, our main shipments will arrive Tuesday 12/14 and pre-orders will ship out from the 14th to 16th. After inspecting the sample piece I'm happy to say its an awesome figure - die cast parts on all five figures just like the original G1 figures, tight joints, perfect stickers, complete - all things hard to achieve with a vintage Predaking! It comes in the 'briefcase' style fold open box with a handle on top and includes 5 sticker sheets, 6 tech-spec cards, instructions, and a cool larger card that shows all the re-issues and Binaltechs Takara has released in the past few years. Any orders placed now will ship along with all the pre-orders on the 14th to 16th. Don't miss out on this one!

agass4u Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Yeah, I would love to get a replacement head and hands for my Prime. Also does anyone know where I can get replacment smokestacks?
