Way, WAY too expensive for me. 110$+tx just for two junkions is ridiculous. So, I'll wait for the innevitable clearance.

Good find!

I have too many of each mold, so this will be a pass for me. However this is a good opportunity for those newer to collecting to get a few really nice figures.

I'm afraid though, at $110 + tax they won't be flying off the shelves.

EDIT:

Duh, forgot to mention. Spotted the RID 2-packs and the mini-con 4 pack at the Trafalgar Walmart this morning. A few people on Cybertron.ca found them a few days ago, but this is the first time I've seen them. Really diggin' the new molds. Legends and Scouts are my crack, so I'm happy to pick these up.

Where on the box?

On the back you can see it on the top left. That's not a bad price in the end. Be probably around 89.99 in US. I see it I'm getting it.

Haha, in the bio. sweet! Love that little touch

If they show up at TRU and I can use my rewards? I'll bite. I want that box art and sticker! And yeah, I guess Hot Rod and the Junkions too.

I ended up watching TF:TM last night just because of that box. Yeah. I'm the guy who Hasbro markets this crap to

I don't understand why they don't use other molds for megatron, and why the red repaint?

Totally agree on the exclusives part! Although I really did like that Optimus Evolution 2 pack.

That's just excellent! Very cool, would love to see the whole blurb.

It's a shame really. I'm one of the few fans who's been universally happy with the Platinum releases thus far, but this set is a huge waste. People love troop building, and I'd have bought this set if those Junkions were different at all. After seeing the price in the currency of my homeland, $110 didn't even seem that bad. They just look too damn much like the originals.

It's not all bad, here is my reply:



Both of these are cheaper now than they were in the 80s considering inflation.

I'd like more Junkions but I really don't need Hot Rod. I wonder what the thinking was, HR wasn't even part of that battle.

Yeah, if it had come with springer (in a new/different/accurate deco), arcee (in tt's deco), a junkion (in a new deco + fixed parts), and wreck-gar, that would've been amazing

It even says it on the flap in the box that "Autobot Hot Rod ends the battle not with a bang, but with a bah-weep-granah weep ni ni bong."

He was there, maaaaaaaaan!!!

When they end a battle (that is completely fictional and didn't actually happen), we will give you (or them, whichever is preferred) the same acknowledgement that this Hot Rod gets

As far as I can tell, all he did was make everyone do a silly dance. I await my acknowledgement!

You remember Transformers: the Movie very differently than I do...

[Edit] Thanks to the magic of You Tube (Hot Rod comes in at about 2:30)


Seems to me that Hot Rod ended the fighting, just as the packaging says. In fact, Kup was ready to join in the fighting...

HR: Guns aren't exactly friendly. Kup: Neither are they if you hadn't noticed. HR: What was that universal greeting again..oh wait I remember. "Bah-weep-granah weep ni ni bong." Wreck-Gar: Bah-weep-granah weep ni ni bong? HR says it again, Wreck-Gar shouts it, the Junkions shout it repeatedly, Dare to be Stupid swells, Wheelie breakdances, Grimlock gets kissed and complains "Me Grimlock no kisser, me Grimlock king!".

Good times.

Back on topic..any other good ideas on TF:TM 30th Platinum Packs?!

itscramtastic wrote:Back on topic..any other good ideas on TF:TM 30th Platinum Packs?!

The ideas have all been good, just not the implementation.

Optimus Prime Vs Megatron? No brainer. Or you'd have thought. One Prime mold everyone has already seen too much of and a Megatron mold that really isn't Megs at his best.

Thought - if they wanted to do something a little more interesting, I'd rather the set cost more, but was G2 Laser-Rod Prime Vs Combiner Wars Leader Megatron. Prime could be very G1 themed, with a new rifle and Megs could have a few paint apps to more resemble G1 Megatron.


Battle for Junk three pack? Cool. Remold unreleased in the USA before? also cool. God awful colour choices on Hot Rod and both junkions having a veeery similar deco? No.

Thought - Battle for Junk (imo) should've been Scrap-Heap, another motorcycle figure repainted as a Junkion and Arcee and Blurr if they were going to use 'new' molds. If they were going for reissues - Wreck-Gar and another Wreck-Gar in crazy colours with an anime Hot Rod or even Springer would've blown my mind.


Rodimus Vs Galvatron. So. SO... SOOO. They choose one of the worst Rodimus toys and then dump it with one of the worst Galvatron toys and try to pass it as 'premium'? Just... no.

This is the one set where I'd have wanted G1 all the way. Hot Rod (anime colours) and Galvatron (anime colours, not light purple) would've had me possibly in tears. T.E.A.R.S. Instead - I'm crying for all the wrong reasons.

and you wanna know what ELSE would've been sweet?

Masterpiece Ultra-Magnus.

All amazing thoughts and points!!

I'm still surprised the US hasn't seen a animation accurate G1 Galvatron reissue. I also can't believe how many times I missed out on D62S

Me too, Hasbro needs to make a purple vintage G1 Galvatron repaint
