I was surprised to see Walmart was running a featured sale on Yolopark's Transformers One cog-less figures dropping the price from $60 to $22... only to find out $22 is actually the MSRP. They say "sold and shipped by Yolopark" so it sounds like they've pulled some shady price inflation to get these to sell better. Seems to work, Elita is sold out.

I got all 8 of the TF:One kits released so far by Yolopark, from their site. Cogless were $17, cogged were $32 each I believe.



And they are positively wonderful experiences each. The cogless are cute little cheaper guys who can pose nicely but are really fun to play with. the cogless version of D-16 is my favorite of his forms actually, making that one even more fun.



Cogged versions are also super nice. Standout for me here is B-127, he's so nice and shiny, he has wonderful weapons, and his arm armor moves for the weapons. Also, love the face mask.

Cogged Elita is wonderful, and her blaster is great with her with her wrist mobility

Since I got the SS Apelinq, I broke out my Yolopark Apelinq again. I know it's based on a custom of Primal, but dang do I love this robot mode more than the official. A bit limited in articulation, but just so dang cool looking

Got my first Yoloparks, the TF1 cogless D-16, Orion Pax, and B-127. The only ones that make sense owning because they couldn't transform.

The extra hands, cogs, jetpacks, and that Bee helmet shall remain in storage.

They were super easy to build and they do look awesome.

Purchased 2 cases (2 x 6 figures) of the blind box AMK Mini G1 model kits. Got at least each of:
Optimus Prime ×2
Bumblebee
Grimlock
Megatron ×2
Soundwave x3
Starscream
Nemesis Prime (chase figure 1/60 chance) [urgh, missing right forearm!!!]

Gave one blind box away.

Missed out on Skywarp (chase figure 1/30 chance)

New wave for AMK G1 charaacters is out now in my country.
Looks like there is no longer any need to look for chase figures. Also other than the two the rest are the same figures from wave 1 in new boxes.

What?! AMK Mini wave 2 characters are same as wave 1, but not blind boxes now?
I bought 2 cases of blind box wave 1.

The box still says wave 1, so I guess this is just basically a rebrand/package refresh, with the expansion of the chase figures being directly purchaseable now.

Why didn't they release this first?!

Did a google search for AMK Mini wave 2... and came up with:

Yolopark have put up AMK Miini wave 2 for pre-order.

https://yolopark.com/collections/amk-mi ... box-wave-2

There is a bonus Surprise Edition Hound (transparent version) when purchasing all 6 wave 2 characters.

Also, Secret Edition: Rodimus Unicronus (1/60 chance) & Silverstreak (1/30 chance).

[megatran]

Did the US market get the Wave 1 chase characters Skywarp and Nemesis Prime?

[Ebonsaber]

Why didn't they release this first?!
*waves fist*

I dunno if this is also worth waving a fist at too, but I was browsing and discovered a variant box art. Only found Starscream like that, so I am not sure if the rest of wave 1 are like that too....???

Nice find!

Yolopark also did a box art change to the generic AMK Mini boxes (wave 1) sold in Australia. The 40th Anniversary logo is removed and Yolopark branding is more prominent.

I might be tempted to get that Cliffjumper to go along with Lady Cliffjumper.

[-Kanrabat-]

I'd get Arcee simply because her design is extremely hard to do in transformable form, without her looking like she's going for a week long camping trip.

It was funny how Yolopark had to change the name while promoting her.

So I haven't gotten any of the Yolopark stuff, but I thought wave 2 of the mini one looked really good and with Rodimus and Arcee being my favorite G1 characters it's really only a matter of time before I get those. This third wave to me at least doesn't really look good at all.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I have Bee and Prime on preorder, for $10 I'll give those 2 a try
