Hooray SNES AND NES Classics!!

*reads*

BOOOOOOOOOO KO SNES AND NES CLASSIC!!

Fear not Shaj, patience you must have. Nintendo has already allocated more units of the SNES Classic and is re-releasing the NES Classic in the summer of 2018. Fairly certain you have 3 people in the U.S. that may be able to find you one or both. ;)^

This thing... it looks so much better than I thought it would! Toxitron makes a great torso, and the colors of the limbs work!

I still want that SG Starscream

Speaking of Starscream, I've determined the best Titanmaster for Nitro Zeus is Ghost Starscream from the Takara Octane set.

Make it happen Shaj!

He's the obvious choice, or at least it seems errybody wants him to be the TR figure for him. I think Starscream is the more subtle and awesome choice though. With Megatron picking up his Bayverse head in the scrapyard and all, why NOT have G1 Starscream somehow come through time and space to occupy the body that Bumblebee decapitated?! :lol:

Hopefully they don't allow him back.

Thanks for the support fellas. I've actually suffered some back backlash believe it or not, supporters of the vendor saying he's always upfront about his stuff and saying he couldn't have known. >:oP

Hold on to your hat Cram, there's been a recent development.... NINTENDO CALLED ME BACK...

I never answer my phone unless it's a stored number and I know who it is, and usually don't check my messaged right away (usually half a day later). They said they made a mistake about the SNES, the serial number was legit, and it was real. The NES was still a KO, but not the SNES. So punch in the balls, I coulda kept that. Silver lining! I've since researched it, there's no reports of SNES KO's, so I can safely buy one off of Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) or whatever aftermarket I choose. So I'ma prolly do that :lol:

Why do you just assume I'll have Takara Octane and Zeus? S'not like I buy everything.

Oh no, I'm not assuming, I just have a good feeling about the comment!! Which is also why I suggested to "make it happen" :lol:

You can add up to 20 of an item to your cart - I would add those guys to your cart and play with the quantities. It tells you when there isn't stock (again, up to 20 units) and based on what's left, you can make an educated decision on whether to make the plunge or wait for the next 10% markdown.

That's what I've been doing

Addendum: both the boxed and loose versions of the CMW sets have 20+ available. They massively overshot production that year, from what I understand, so you should be fine on that (and the Joe sets, which I am def waiting to come down 90%).

I'm gonna wait out the CMW then! I really want Oilmaster, and Megs, Battletrap, and Stepper to a lesser extent. I could care less for Packrat.

Now I gotta check to see how many Starscreams are left

Looks like 20+ of all 3 subscription sets as well.

Time to >:oP

I'm kind of miffed I missed out on Galva Convoy, tho. Not sure I can deal with the unassembled set that's missing hardware (screws and pins) If anyone has any leads on that one... let me know.

Cool, well I will just chill with you on this and keep an eye on the price decrease. Still debating on should I, but the wait will tell.

I would probably be more adamant to get that 3 set if Impactor and/or Bluestreak were still Available, or if i had 2 spare limbs lying around here (which i don't), and they are expensive on eBay now

If I were in your shoes, I'd keep on eye on the Fractyl & Paradron subscription set, and/or the Botcon 2016 Terrorsaur attendee figure. Those two items are also 20+ quantity-wise right now, and pretty soon it will be worth it to pick them up.

Besides giving the Toxitron combiner some symmetry, I love the Scorponok that comes with Fractyl. The Medic is a nice bonus, especially if you want to keep that mold on your shelf if you decide replace IDW Generations Arcee with the TR version.

I saw both of those were there (bummed Predacus is gone), but I'm not about Terrorsaur missing the HFG (though I do have a spare thanks to Hound's port being filled by Nightbeat...), and while Fractyl would be cool, I have no interest in Paradon medic, and I'm not getting the TR Arcee cause I love my Thrilling 30 Arcee.

I agree with you on Symmetry though, I like it too, which may be one of the reason i like computron having Afterburners wheel so high in the air to mirror Scrounge and why Liokaiser is so cool to me. And Terrorsaur's colors would look killer with Tox, Scream, and Punch.

Funny all this should come up, there's a good chance I'll be dropping a decent sized order on payday at the Club. I need that Joe set for that damn MP Ratbat, and I want the Pretender Leaders, GalvaLio, Blastcharge, Spraxus, and maybe some others :-?

Also I'm pretty bummed about missing Tripredicus, and TH dudes. I wanted a second set of both

Well... honestly I'm not head over heels for this guy like everyone else seems to be. He has some telltale signs of a KO, albeit a really good KO.
-The mold change in the feet was completely unnecessary as he already had a great ankle tilt.
-His chest WILL NOT hold together. They have nothing to actually lock them into place (that I can see) and flop open if you're moving him around.
-I damn near broke the pieces that his shoulders peg into. All you need to do is gently depress then pull, but all it says is to pull. And I pulled.... they're pretty stressed now.
-The new additional pieces that form the back of the cab just kinda sit there, not really firmly staying together even though there are clear pegging points.

But, his paint apps are stunning, altered leg transformation (for the wheels) is done really well, weapon cache, is all really awesome. I think I'll probably still get the red/blue version.

I'm at home with a sick dog, trying to keep myself occupied.

I decided to buy a set of Repro's for my new KO G1 Sunstreaker. I heard the supplied stickers were total garbage, and I waiting until he was in hand to see if he would even be worth the supplement purchase. And damn, he was. And double damn, he looks fantastic all Repro'd up 8-)

Also, I got a set of Diaclone Repro's for Redstreaker on the way. Some company I never heard of, but a google search led me to them. Can't wait to have them both prettied up next to one another 8-}

Cancelled my pre-order for MP Sunstreaker BTW.

Also, in amiibo news, did you end up pre-ordering the four Champion amiibo from Breath of the Wild? I locked in one of each on Monday at Amazon and spaced on letting you know. They are currently out of stock again
