I’m just glad to see MPM-04 at a more reasonable price. I know he’s not exactly universally liked, but is still like to have him.

As long as you don't attempt the transformation, you can enjoy him

Very true. Leave it in robot mode, and you won't feel like you tossed money in the garbage.

That is truly how I feel about that figure.

Oof. Okay. I trust the judgement of you three. Combining that with all the other negative things I’ve heard about this figure, I’ll continue to pass on it. If it’s really that poor a figure, I’ll instead wait to see if HasTak comes out with a tweaked and hopefully superior figure based on one of the sequels. I have other OPs that I can use to fill in for an MP Optimus for now. I picked up MPM Ironhide for about half the price of Prime, and I’m upset that I can’t get him completely into his alt mode. I’d probably be more upset by prime.

I’ll stop derailing this thread, and let it get back to talk of steals and deals now

New Items:

Street Fighter II X Transformers Ken Vs. Chun-Li Exclusive set $70

Insanely expensive nemesis Prime Statue $950

speaking of that last one, I've seen a few of these $1K + statues and wondered...who exactly are these for? I mean *if* I had thousands of dollars to spend on Transformers, I'd definitely be going for original series mostly Takara releases from 87-89, just my preference.

I mean I guess there are a few rich fans out there, (clearly not enough to help with the current Unicron Project) but even if I were a millionaire, I'm pretty sure I'd have ZERO interest in things like this.

Pretty sure you have this thread confused with this one pre-order-instock-online-sightings-for-transformers-toys-and-products-p2032927.php#p2032927

EDIT: Dear lord, my mistake, that nemesis prime figure is actually on sale. ****

you made my day

I've been meaning to pick up MP Prowl and Smokescreen to go with my MP Bluestreak. BBTS has both for $64. With tax and shipping, it'll be $144 for both. Is that a good price?

It's the standard price. Your not paying more than others did when they initially came out.

Scrapmetal for 13? Done. I'm not even concerned about Devvy, it just looks like a fun figure.

Also picked up Cogman who is currently 16. There is a story there. Not sure yet if I will pull the trigger on Platinum edition Nitro. He was only 3 off but I never saw Nitro before

It's a shame Scrapmetal isn't selling better. He's a very fun deluxe with an interesting transformation.

Thanks for the heads up. Picked up heli Dropkick too while I was at it. Working through that backlog.

Just to clarify, the figure was not "sold by Amazon." It was sold by a retailer "Kickin Toys" and they have had quite a run the past couple days of Siege and Studio deluxe figures for $12 w/ free shipping (and no sales tax, also no Prime necessary). You can check my Instagram at Dan14thPrime for more info as I made a couple posts on good finds from this seller.

Edit: Sorry, re-clarify , it's now $12 sold by Amazon, but the sale I reference above was even prior to this deal and included even more figures. Again, I made an IG post. Seems Amazon likely matched that prior price w/ their algorithm.

I want Scrapmetal! Where's the discount in the UK? Grr

It's also now sold out.

Studio Series Grimlock for $35. One Day Sale

Right now running through to the end of this week is a serious deal at Big Bad Toy Store. This time they have Transformers Power of the Primes Hun Gurrr and Elita-1 two pack for practically half off at $34.99!

If you passed on these during the Power of the Primes series this is your chance to catch up. You can't have Abominus or the new star of the Combiner pantheon Orthia without these awesome pieces. Elita-1 is a true original and in her first official Hasbro rendition of the character. Kibble heavy or not this G1 icon is an excellent reuse of the Power of the Primes Starscream mold and your female Autobot team is leaderless without her. Hun Gurrr is the pinnacle of the torso design originated all the way back to the Scramble City G1 design. Taking cues from Combiner Wars Silverbolt, further refined through multiple reuses of the mold which stood out from the other torsos, Hun Gurrr solidly holds his team in place when combined into the animalistic Terrorcon monster of the Decepticon army. Some have claimed Hun Gurrr to be the best of the Combiner Wars torsos and this writer would be hard pressed to argue.


Click HERE or on any of the images to go to the sale page and happy combining out there Seibertronians! As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Got mine!

Forgive my arm-chair modding for once. I just wanted to point out that this is an excellent example of why not to have our feelings hurt with regard to news.... I did post this in this thread back on Monday at 11:20am...HOWEVER...

1. I did not use the submit news feature on this site
2. Additional reminders are seemingly never a bad thing and
3. You my friend did it with way more style than me...

To be honest, my first couple news credits were quite accidental (I didn't know it was a thing back then)

But since then, if I felt something was truly news worthy I've gone the submit news route. If I just think something is simply *neat* then I post in the forums. Sometimes....it gets newsed, but I leave that up to the staff to decide, as I'm not the judge. I guess just since that first day on BBTS with the Grand Max sale I started making a habit of posting the sales they've had daily during their 20th anniversary celebration, and let others decide if its good or not.

Was it just so you can inspect Hun Gurrr to confirm to Scott that its a remold?

Thanks for understanding. Also, just so you know, someone did send it in to our e-mail a few days ago. Just took some time to get to the front page.

Of course, but that certainly is another factor. I know you all are busy, have lives, cant be here 24/7 etc... I feel sometimes I just don't want to bother you all with something I perceive as *minor* so I'll just put it in the forum. If it was something really significant however, I know where to submit .

I mean I feel fortunate to have a job where I can monitor TF news pretty constantly while at my desk from 7am-3pm PST M-F, other than that though, I'm pretty much offline That leaves a lot of time for news to drop, which is usually when the god stuff happens
