Anybody walked down to the Repro Stoe to see if dey gots any new 'fits fo him?

And remember Cary, did you look into his eyes. Deeeeeeeply into his eyes?




Why when I clicked on the notification link did I think to myself, I bet Bee21 literally typed the Battle Beasts thing 5 times? Then he DID! Am I pyschic?!

Checked for new duds, nada. And I've gotten lost in his eyes several times

Typed, pfft ctrl-c ctrl-v x 5 boom!

The dark side Bee, I think you know what I'm talking about.

all too well

I'd go darksider to save $100, depending on the Bot!

Well, I think the MP Seekers are the only ones that are around $100 off just due to Takara's obnoxious price point on them. For the others it seems to be around $30-$50 off, which equals two bots for the price of one!!

the sad thing is wei jiangs plastic is better than takaras and hasbros.

AliExpress

Just a heads up searching that site takes a bit of a trick. I recommend the following search queries: transformation, deformation, Wei Jiang - maybe pepper in the term KO or robot and see where that gets you. Searching for transformers works but not as well as you'd think and being super specific will get you no where. Be prepared to dig through hunters of results to find stuff.

Happy hunting

I'll back that up. My Wei Jiang OS Shinebug is very nice. Plastic feels great and the joints are nice and smooth. The paint apps are sparse just because so we're the originals, but the are sharp and clean. And that light piping

Of course. I check the reviews, the sellers rating, how many orders have been made. I use my CC so I can easily dispute it if I need to and they allegedly have buyer protection. Both my transactions went through very smoothly with extremely fast shipping from China. Kinda makes me wonder why the other importers don't offer fast free shipping

I'm still waiting on something from amiami's slow ass shipping that wasn't as low as I thought it should've been

I'm trying something a little different here as I thought it might be cool to use bots as a backdrop. I think I need my surface level with the shelf and to be a little closer. Let me know what you think?



Hey bro, what's up?











Weapon X?

Not to be out done!

Medic fist bump

Whoa, holy mass shifting Batman!







It's been a minute since I've transformed PRiD Ratchet and damn they don't make em like they used to. So many twisty turny foldy bits and pieces

Ratchet sure likes his under carriage weapon storage

Remember that time when Ratchet got into the Synthetic Energon?

Just for Cobo, some wicked light piping Ratchet and I got into...

Dem details

Remember when toys with backpacks were cool? Yeah, me too! The Joes with backpacks especially the usable ones were the best. Give me a backpack and I'll shove something in it.


Hey, me too!

Eyes are up here, pal.

Let's address that white, white, mostly white with some red sprinkled in for flavor elephant in the room. Which Ratchet is better. You know I went in thinking the PRiD version would take it but I don't know now. PRiD is a fancier and more complex figure for sure but something about the RID figure in bot mode just works better. RID is a big boxy bot that just screams Ratchet and depending on your tastes has a big boxy alt mode. YMMV and I'm happy to have both

Bonus eye spy game, enjoy!




So I've ditched photobucket because it just crapped out and won't let me upload. I will continue to host my old photos there, but from here out I'll be using flickr. Let me know how or if that changes the viewing experience.

As someone who loves his Beast Hunters Ratchet, you got some nice pictures there Cary. I enjoyed the medic show!

Pics look just as good. Took a little longer to load though. Could be my compbox.

I like the bots as back ground. Also like both bots in the foreground.

Well damn, I really want a Ratchet to join my crew now! I haven't had one since the G1 original....

And I love seeing a Bot background! It's like they're watching the festivities, but could join in on the fun at any time.

BATTLEBEAST UP FRONT INFRONT OF SKYLYNX!!!

Also, I like the bots and bots and bots!!!

Maybe someday I'll take pictures again, and you may have just sold me on RiD Ratchet!! Also, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT PRIME RATCHET LOOKS LIKE!!! IN THE FUTURE!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Thanks. I'm waiting on a good price for the Tak BH Ratchet so I can add him to Starscream's Bandits.

I think they load slower because they are being displayed at their native resolution. Photobucket reduced the res.

Yay, someone played my game I'm surprised D missed Bob though

It's a rock solid figure and fits in great in the Chug collection. Readily available at retail, baby bear transformation, posable bot mode and comes with some baller pistols.

Hey Cary, I found Black Lion at Walmart, and they even had a second one there other than the one I bought

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Hey Cary, I found Black Lion at Walmart, and they even had a second one there other than the one I bought

Haha, I just saw that. Congrats and congrats!

I'm excited to hear your final thoughts on Voltron. I'm on the slow road to forming Voltron but as of late the limbs have been hanging on pegs pretty regularly and the black lion has been in stock since the stores started carrying them.

Edit: howdy Bod, how's that kaluha and alt mode cocktail treatment ya

I guinessed myself to an early bedtime, but then got up at 130am to fire up the smoker. Brisket and ribs, brisket and ribs, I'm the boy with the brisket and ribs.

Ah, I was having the issue of not finding Black, so I didn't know if you had similar issues.

I will tell you I opened the black lion just to get him out of the box, and he feels really sturdy and weighty

*puff puff puff*

Catching up on all these threads is hard work
I love what you're doing, so keep doing it.

And I dunno why, but I was all "daaaaawwwwwww kitty!"
