"Why didn't they just allow it to be sold online retail and not an exclusive...?"
Seriously now I've manned up enough and not being a princess to have made arrangements so as to acquire this piece o' plastic crack but he's still due this October......TFYuki should give Menasor more P.R. time
Hopefully "Guardcity" would be mass released

Except both of those seemed to have been in Hasbro's plans from the get-go, whereas more evidence leans towards Deluxe Groove having been all Takara's doing without Hasbro's input.Shockwave7 wrote:They did 'quicksling' and the other guy - I imagine they may well do a Hasbro version of Deluxe Groove...

I would buy deluxe Groove if he was available, but I'm happy enough to at least have A Groove.

This much has been concluded. But that doesn't rule out the possibility of Hasbro releasing it next year or something, in a similar arrangement. Especially if they cough up one more bonus character so the cases aren't 8 Grooves and nothing else. Or maybe Takara will release Groove individually in a year or two. Mostly, I think all of us want to avoid having to buy the entire UW Defensor just to get this deluxe Groove, and we're not thinking with as much clarity as we might otherwise. >_>

Just look how much bigger he is than Blades! At first i really wanted a Groove but the more i think about it the more i'm content with the Hasbro set up.
I can pass on this set and be totally o.k with it.
His guns do look pretty rad with the crystal plastic lights on them i gotta admit. Nice touch!

I'll let you know if/when the cancellation goes through. It's over six months away from arrival, so shouldn't be a problem. Plenty more pre-orders for it will occur in the ensuing six months, so the unit can be easily re-allocated.
edit: PM'd answer.

I hear what you're saying, but for a combiner with only two new molds its RIDICULOUS how much I ended up loving Defensor. Rook and Hotspot are simply amazing, and the other ones made me feel like I was handling the molds for the first time! I can't recommend him enough, I think you'll be missing out if you pass on him. And if its about the uber dollars it ll cost for TT's, then skip that and just go for Hasbro'sjay5 wrote:I think I'm cancelling my UW-03 pre-order. The vehicles just aren't very appealing and there are other figures I'd much rather spend that money on. I have Rook, which is likely the one with the most posable, interesting robot mode. The rest are kind of meh.

I am totally there. Its pretty crazy too but even though I had both dead end AND brake-neck (which didnt feel new to me at all), Streetwise felt new. I am so impressed at how different he is. It's just like in G1 where they had a similar transformation but looked totally different. And First aid was completely different. Also, that mold makes a way better arm since the pegs actually work and fit tightly with the holes for his robot arms in arm mode. And I never had alpha bravo (waiting for UW Superion which should come in monday (see, its relevant to this thread)), so Blades was a completely new mold for me.

Of course not fair to compare with the 3rd Party not Superion but how Silverbolt is essentially upside down when in Superion torso mode really knocked me off! And he ain't all wobbly like the original G1 (see this for a hillarious take on Superion at http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Superion_(G1), those dingdongs never fails to get me to laugh )
An issue that might bother you would be some paint chipping. Air Raid and Skydive's black painted over tabs/pegs will scratch off when you unflod their legs.
The other jets are great too. TT did what they can to placate the OCDs among the fandom (me included) so no biggie if they didn't make an exact F4 Phantom or Harrier Jumpjet.
prepare for a few long hours of oggling and gameplay.

It takes a pretty good yank! I think it loosens up a bit over time. The first time I tried to pull them apart, I thought there must be a twist or movement I was missing. Nope, just pull straight apart.

気を紛らわせるためにサンプル箱から旧スクランブル合体を取り出していじってみますが、ギシギシ音を立てて合体させていると、ユナイトウォリアーズ版の進化を実感します。
Google Translation:
You from the sample box in order to divert herself try to play around and take out the old scramble coalescence , but when you make a sorrel sound has coalesced , and then realize the evolution of Unite Warriors version .
Let the rumours and speculation begin, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for further developments!

Yes, the entire NASA Space Shuttle fleet has been retired. They are now museum pieces, and one spectacular commercial for Toyota.
But, these are still flying. Note the USAF (United States Air Force) badge.

What is that?
Maybe taker a could do a modern take on blastoff by doing the mold based on one of the designs for the shuttle replacement. ..before funding was cut.

Nailed it! Too bad we won't get a Hin-D for Vortex. Might be breaking the bank too much. Hopefully TT won't make this another Online Tomy/Takara Mall exclusive again.........

No, we're expecting TakaraTomy to make a new Blast Off mold. like they did with Groove. However, what we lack is direct confirmation, hence this only being a rumor. For all we know, TakaraTomy will release Hasbro's Blast Off just to spite us.
It's called "being careful".

Yes, but what does that have to do with the matter of G1 accuracy that Takara seems to be striving for with their Combiners?

And TT(especially TFYuki ) is such a closet sadomasochistTease and punish tease and punish......just look what he did withTAV Powerglide and UW-01.
And please, if this ever comes to fruition, make Vortex a Hin-D or some other military copter like the Apache.

Which implies that you think a G1 accurate Blast Off is a bad thing...

Ah thanks for the info still my comment stands...A space shuttle with instantly recognisable military vehicles is a bit of a stretch...before we even get into the debate of size differences!
Now what I would love is a whole space themed combiner...
