Oh god him. I kinda want to buy multiples of him and have them as the worst Decepticon drones ever/one of Shockwave's...less successful experiments, but that would mean spending money on that heap of junk.

Though I will say the tank mode looks kinda cool. Sigh, the Titanium line was such a waste of potential...

Barricade! So awesome! Go buy one!
Great detail, good transformation (not easy not hard), awesome accessories, and even good paint apps.


Lookit the knuckles! So cool, but shouldn't they say punish and enslave?


As I said, accessories rule. Although I seriously lost the wrist gun thingy. I searched the house top to bottom and my only conclusion is that my puppy walked away with it








Car mode is car mode. S'nice. and weapon storage!







In closing:

Barricade! So awesome! Go buy one!

Now THAT, is a brick, shaj!

But that might be a good idea, Black Hat. However it might just be better to buy a bunch of Decepticon Quake and use them as generic transtectors.

Damn it Jak!
Last night I grabbed EMOP and Galvy to to play with in an effort to stave off any dang Movie wants. IT WORKED! I was at Target today and they had some deluxes. And I looked at them. And I said...... mmmmmNOPE!
I picked up Barricade a second time. Said.... maybe? Then...... nnnnnnnnNOPE! Put him back. Walked away.

Then you gotta go all, "he's cool. Look at my pictures. See how sweet he is? He's cool. Go buy one."





You guys, ya know Prime seems to be having a change of heart in this story. Maybe Barricade is too. Maybe he's good cop now.

I don't get the love for Barricade. Sure, its light years ahead of the original '07 toy, but that's not saying much. I'm looking at mine now, and just kind of meh on him.

Perhaps Ironhidensh gots no love for police?

Basically, I think Barricade has one of the best movie designs, and the figure looks very little like the movie design. Old wound with me, I'll just be patiently waiting for the MP to be shown.

do you have pics of downbeat spotter and sphinx

I passed on Barricade yesterday. He's cool, but I don't like the off white cream color on him. I also wish he was larger, so it's either KO Human Alliance or redeco of this deluxe, OR the KO OS deluxe that will happen

5 words: Should have bought him anyway

If Barricade looked just a little bit like his picture on the box, I'd have been happy with him.

Barricade (deluxe) looked pretty cool, imho, so I bought him at Target today ($20). I also saw Op and Grimlock (Voyagers, $30!) at TRU, but passed on them. As far as I'm concerned though, all bots from TLK are optional since I'm not a real fan of the Bayverse.

Nothing from wave4 of TR, still..... ;_;

I've seen no wave 4 either other than Broadside. Still no Chaos boxset

Exactly - only Broadside, and even he is getting scarce. The Chaos on Velocitron set went VERY quickly -- if you hadn't basically been on top of your TRU every day, checking for inventory for that month it was sneaking onto shelves, you were too late. My TRU only ever got 4 in at a time, so that also hurt.

I got really lucky, honestly.

Yeah, I'm really jealous Bod. I had no money for figures when that set started hitting, and now it's basically gone. I hope more come, because I really want Nautica and Fastlane.

I'd suggest getting on TRU's notification list, D-Max:
https://m.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp ... d=24898973

I basically checked that link daily then looked for inventory at the two TRUs in my area, before getting lucky.

I have no qualms about the OG Barricade, especially the premium one. Though I wish I had that HA version

All in good time Mister B

We're swimming in Broads over here. No sightings of the box set though *wimper*

Love? Hate?

So. What else is new?
