Thanks! Does anyone know what the lowest price Omega Supreme went for? I remember Amazon had it at 20% off for a little bit, which would've been about $140 after tax. Did it ever go lower than that? Can't believe this thing is sold out at most places now, and more than retail where it is available.

IIRC, Amazon's lowest price was around $110.

I kick myself because my "buy it now" price was $100 or less shipped. We're in strange times, so I'm going continue to play the waiting game. Disclaimer; I'm OK with missing out.

Dang $110?! I definitely have FOMO on this. So upset it's sold out at so many places. Might have to pay full retail on this ugh

Yeah with tru gone from the US no other store will carry it, so I’m guessing Hasbro massively scaled back production to not take such a loss on unmoving merch

I don't remember $110, I only remember that one time Amazon had him for 20% off, I think shortly before or after black Friday. That's why, when BBTS got him back in stock in late February at normal retail I jumped on it. Now a few sites still have him but goes from $170 and up.

I'm definitely preordering Scorponok. Though typically Decepticins don't sell as well, I think Hasbro is learning, and producing less, then if demand is still high ( as in the case of PotP deluxe wave 2) they can actually produce more.

But seeing the glut of Leader Shockwaves unsold, I'm sure Hasbro knows retailers will be ordering less because they don't want to lose money either.

I was off by $2

Too little too late now though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like I rolled the dice and lost

[Vic Zanzibar]

You know who is awesome? Crosshairs. The phenomenal Ironhide mold suits him perfectly and his head sculpt makes it scream “beefy badass” even more than it already does. He looks so good alongside other chunky slobberknockers like Roadbuster, Twin Twist, and Topspin that I have head canoned him into being a Wrecker.

Finally got around to building something for Skyfire that I've been meaning to for weeks.

[ZeroWolf]

Fantastic that's a neat idea.

I got mine the first weekend of December $111 shipped. that was the cheapest he got, he's hardly had many deals because he was so popular as well, he was well received.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Thanks! After I make some tweaks the model will be available as a free download for everyone.

And that'll probably be the last thing I post here aside from buying/selling stuff...

I managed to find him yesterday and aside from a minor white paint blotch on the front, I like him a lot, especially combined with Cog. The weapon... eh, Pinpointer and/or Trenchfoot for me. He is a bit tall compared to his Headmaster buddies (I only have Hardhead and Brainstorm), but that adds to his toughness I suppose.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Well, unless you import LG62 Windblade you're going to be waiting a while on Pinpointer, since Hasbro only gave us Blowpipe, Firebolt, and Blowpipe retooled into Aimless based on the Legends Aimless rather than Aimless' original toy or character model.

And whether you go Takara or Hasbro, they all need kitbashing... But what do I know..

IMO that's not Pinpointer anymore than the animation fail-based black-and-purple redeco of Blowpipe is Caliburst.

It literally is Pinpointer. The figure name is "Captive PINPOINTER

But I am using the Legends onw since I habe that Windblade. You know who else made a nice Pinpointer? The Arms Micron dude. He could fly in addition to being a wierd gun thing

No it isn't, not really. It's called Pinpointer, but it's just Firebolt in Pinpointer's colors. Because Hasbro has made all of two gun Battlemaster molds so far, only one of which (Blowpipe) seems to have alternate tooling (Aimless' limbs and barrels).

The Takara "Pointech" Pinpointer really is Pinpointer, although it still needs kitbashing to be fully right (all the Legends Targetmasters do).

Literally doesn't matter. That is the name on it, so it works. It's ok

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Putting Pinpointer's name on the packaging doesn't magically give it any of Pinpointer's detailing, so in my book it in point of fact does not work. It's just a placeholder AFAIC.

My hopes were so high for the Battlemasters at first.. The original ones are cool, as is Lionizer, but the gun ones have just been phoned in after the first three and it's rather disappointing...

You are absolutely right dude! I have Crosshairs along side POTP Grimlock. Their head designs are really cool together.

I have small problem with my new SIEGE Prowl figure. He seems to be very finicky about how posing him works because there are no pegs that lock his robot shins into place and he seems to be top heavy.

Does anyone have this problem with him or any recolors of this mold?
Is it known for hip problems or balance issues (center of gravity)

I've never noticed it as a problem, but I would say a little extra attention to his legs is necessary. Typically I end up hyper extending his knees.

yes and there are no pegs to lock into position. Buyers are expected to "get a feel for it" as a result which is ridiculous.

[sol magnus]

My Prowl is fine. My Barricade, though, while standing in pose took some fidgeting to get him there.

[no-one]

I couldn't quite remember how Prowl's legs worked so I pulled him off the shelf to take a look. I don't see how his shins would peg into anything. If they did, he'd lose some ankle articulation. Mine has nice and tight joints and holds well. Loose joints would be a nightmare.

He does have a tendency to look like he is on his tip toes and leaning forward.



I've never seen it as a problem, just awkward at its worst. I do think I remember reading complaints about his legs and feet though. I dig his high heel shoes. I like the bots with the pumps and a hood bump
