We saw a dood with a poop emoji hat at the fair, I had the wants

Glad to hear the Cobro is feeling better!

Also, I will get that Prime eventually. But I'm waiting to see that rumored boxset with the repaint that also includes Godbomber. Also gonna wait to see how this TR voyager Soundwave plays out before I get the leader.

Yeah, N and Steals da Goats have been mentioning it for a bit now. That set is supposed to include something along the lines of a blue repaint of Prime, godbomber, the decepticon clones, and someone else. Or something like that. Nautica, Tidal Wave, and the Autobot clones are also all rumored to be parts of box sets

Cobotron wrote:Why oh why you gotta git all up in my wallet's bid-ness?!

I have something you'd like to hear that could help: what I greatly dislike about these repro sets is how they dont just add detail but replace detail. And that pisses me off hard. While I don't condone Hasbro's lack of paint apps, I do appreciate whatever I get. But with these sets, those paint apps become useless. Like Soundwave, the idea is that those are speakers from a certain era and they are totally changing it. ls they are totally pasting stickers over molded detail, that really blows. You are no longer improving a toy, but changing it, and I am not cool with that. Its also the case with powermaster prime's stripes on his trailer. the whole point Hasbro is driving across here is that we no longer need to put stickers on them. Instead now we have gorgeous tampographs, so its permantly painted stickers. Its a really cool upgrade to the way toys were made and it gives a nice sense of the tehnological changes between 1986 and now. And just placing g1 style stickers again over the painted detail takes that away. It no longer becomes an update but instead we are making this the G1 toy again. Which we dont need to do since the G1 toy already exists.

I love reprolabels, but I would much preffer they help improve a look the figure is made to have instead of turning it into something its not (unless you are turning it into a different character but then again I have my reservations).

I hear ya, but you don't have to use all of them

In all seriousness, I do hear ya. I'd like them to work with the design and not against it. But I also like how you can choose to change a figure completely. Those sets for that turd CW WJ are amazebawls.

I also dislike putting stickers on molded bits. I usually go one of two ways: I skip or if it works with the design I use a toothpick to push the sticker down into it. OPTIONS

Stickers on tampos is the cool thing to do. Just ask all of my sticker over tampo figures.

In all seriousness, I hear ya too WJ. I think when I get in the sticker zone I just keep going and then I'm like "oh, I put those on, didn't think I would, meh not changing it now"

I totally agree with you Billy, but I also agree with Cary.
the first thing I thought when I saw the Soundwave set was, "I'd probably skip the speakers. Even though they are 3-D." But those club interior stickers the bomb-digity!
I'm also not sold on PMOP's trailer stripes, but the set has a lot of other great stuff.

Repros are great. My first experience with them was awesome ( CW Datsuns), but at the end of the day, it's always money I could spend on more toys. Which usually ends up being the case.

this is what im debating on
for chromedome highbrow and hardhead

My problem with the idea that you dont have to put all the stickers is that the money you paid did factor those in. So you paid money for something you wont be using and that just makes my skin crawl

like we all know the reason that sticker sheet for Soundwave aint cheap is because of those 3d texture stickers.

I didnt check but does wave 2 have more stickers than wave 1 per figure? Also I am a bit perplexed at the idea of adding more to wolfwire, there isnt any extra detail from the toy or show that wither version would need. But Highbrow I am definitely considering. that back part looks very bare and I love how they added tech stats for the flip out panel on the chest.

Wait til your baby girl gets just a little bit older and you realize how much food children waste. You can actually see the dollars flying out the window when you dump their plate in the trash.

Yup!

Edit: You know, Billy, I'm thinking about it, and I seem to recall you hating on SW's alt mode because it didn't look like a proper 80's boom box. So.......?

Yeah some of those sets are overkill and a lot contain alternate stickers, so no matter what you will have left overs.

I'm totally about to get the TR Laserbeak and maybe a few other tabletbot sets. Them RID sets are all the tempts, but damn if they aren't as much as the figs themselves

That Soundwave set looks.....PROPER!

Cobotron wrote:That Soundwave set looks.....PROPER!

Yes it does, yes it does. Those base mode disco stickers are worth the price of admission. Didn't they do a similar theme for Blasto?

I'm all over that penny set though

Just free shipping at $25 and $50 on HTS, last time I checked.

A friend of mine owns the TR Soundwave minions, but can't read the text on them since he's dyslexic. I don't own them, so any help?

There is some noise about saving 20% on your next order if you sign up for email alerts or something. Just sit tight there BB, HTS is always giving out small discounts.

Most of you probably missed the BoGo 50% that TRU was doing last week. I didn't
