I got Combiner Wars Firefly, Skydive, and Drag Strip in the mail today and have FINALLY got Ultra Prime together (just Ultra Prime, Firefly was enough of a pain the get, I'm gonna need a bit before I can get the other two torsos, Blackjack, or Powerglide) and I'm fairly hapy with it. Does anyone else's Firefly have loose joints at the landing gear and/or tail fin, though?

Skydive and Silverbolt joined Firefly yesterday. Surprisingly enough, Superion can balance pretty well with only one arm and one leg. Now I just have to wait for the other two Aerialbots to get released and I'll have a full set. Also, Powerglide looks and fits with Superion very well in gun mode.

Today I bought CW Dragstrip and Thrilling 30 Windblade. That has been the flimsiest, hardest to transform to I am surprisingly satisfied with... but I need to figure out how to fix some pieces that like to routinely pop off.... Was Windblade known for having QC issues?

Yes. Everything you mentioned goes with the majority of cases. What I dislike is that I cant get her tail fins to stick together nicely, they always seem a bit split.

Mine actually has a tiny piece of the gate still attached to it that prevented me from properly lining up the fins, I managed to force it once, before I understood what the problem was, but next time I pick her up I have to go GunPla on her ass and pull out my clippers and files. And one of the wings is far too stiff in comparison to the other. But, unfortunately, once everything actually clicks into place properly she looks great as a vehicle, and the rotating VTOL fans are a really nice touch. Great headsculpt, poopy hands, awesome weapon accessories. Has a great Transformers interpretation of a more Super Robot lady idea.

I grabbed her because I wanted to support the creation of well designed new characters... I can't understand how for everything I like about the toy it has something i dislike...

I feel like she is the John Cena of recent TF toys.

Don't know what line this is from, but it was too cool to pass up. Shipment of 2 of these and a fire truck from the same line came in today.

It's Ratchet's 3 yr old daughter, Ratchita.
Adorable lil rascal.

Lunch anyone?

I was going through some stuff at my Mom's house over the weekend and came across these silly little fellows. I remembered them from when I was a kid, so scooped 'em up. Upon further inspection, I don't think they were mine. The three on the left I definitely remember, and the dates on the bottom are 1987 and 88. The other three are dated 1990. That's right in the middle of puberty for me and a happy meal would have never been enough food. :lol:

Mom is a retired school teacher, so these could have been confiscated goods from unruly students, or came from a kids consignment sale my Mom frequents for my kids. So that means, somewhere in Mom's attic there are more of these tasty little snackers.

I know these: they're from the Korean show Robocar Poli, this one is called Amber I think.

Jus got cloud shockwave in the mail from Lena!! The figure is absolutely amazing, the whirl mold is awesome in those colors. I highly reccomend him, if you can find him for a good price.

Unfortunately the bit at the top of his machine gun looking weapon that allows c clips to be attached to it is not there, but it's not a huge loss since I never used that configuration. Plus shockwave came with an extra copy of the gun that you can attach to the ends of the arms when you fold back the claws. Curiously, it's in whirl's colors! This is actually really awesome since I've always wanted to have whirl dual wield those guns :grin:

by **Moosey** » Tue Mar 03, 2015 7:22 pm

Hey also, would anyone by chance have a scan of shockwave's instructions? I don't know how to do cannon mode, even if someone could simply type out the steps, I could likely figure it out, all help would be appreciated.

Glad you are happy with your purchase. And yeah, as I warned, there are always little bits off with toys from Lena. It's to be expected and I a glad it didnt turn you off too much (think about it, people bought EVERY copy of this toy available on BBTS at 90$?!?!?!). I love him too.

Ratchita?

Awesome McTF's Cobs. One of those burgers belongs in Metroplexes hands

Moosey! Every time someone gets a Cloud Shockwave, I smile :grin:

Now for my haul! Legends Gelshark/Skybyte and Takara Generations Waspinator! Waspy is great, I don't know why I waited so long to get one.

Skybyte.... he might be the greatest example of Takara's superiority. I don't mean to come down on Hasbro, but TakByte is LEAGUES above HasByte in paint quality. Lookit!

H...E... double hockey sticks!
That Waspinator looks tremendous too.

I really think he is the best example. Its the only version of the mold I own and due to the deco and how well it works with the robot mode chest, I feel its a travesty that others cant enjoy him as I do. If ever he shows up on my lists (which he will), I will make sure to precise the deco. So far, I have not had to do that for any other figure. So glad you got him.

I thought so too...also picked up Fixit one step from target. Not really feeling the rest of the line but I'm pretty sure my wife is going to add to her bee hive from it. Big Thanks to JelZe too. I saw them thought they were cute, grabbed one for the boy and girl and one for us, which our favorite was Amber.

It seems a lot of people turn him away since he's not like other shockwave figs, glad that you appreciate such a great and overlooked figure. I also must thank you for bestowing such an honorable name upon me. If I could change my username, I would probably change it to just "Moosey" because of your comment ! :lol:

Ha! You're very welcome Moosey

Maybe try PM'ing the admin for a name change? I doubt it's set in stone :-?
