It's a bit like saying "Well, I know some of you are on the fence on which version of Starscream to get; Hasbro or Takara... so to compare to Takara's Starscream, here's Hasbro's Thundercracker".
I get where you're coming from, but the two figures are trying to accomplish two very different things.
But I'm talking about the swords, and that if Hasbro wanted to they could've done something really nice for RID Windblade. Also, who says that Windblade isn't going to show up in season whateverthey'recallingitnow of RID in those colors?
Probably the fact this is a Generations boxset rather than an RiD one. And also that it's an SDCC exclusive which is most certainly not marketed towards children hence would make no sense to put on the show.
But on the small chance she does, that's when it'd be relevant; not now. And even then the comparison still wouldn't be apt, because if you wanted a representation of those colours, you certainly wouldn't go Takara.

Well... no. Because the Takara version is about as different a colour scheme as you can get from the SDCC Windblade.![]()
All I'm saying is that if you're doing a direct comparison like this, then you should compare two figures who are trying to achieve the same thing. You'd get Adventure Windblade for a representation of her in the show, or for some people, as a representation of her in the comics as it works for that purpose as well. The RiD 2015 version of the mold tries to achieve the same thing, hence why the comparison is apt. This isn't the reason you'd get the SDCC version - you'd get the SDCC version because it came with that Brainstorm you really wanted because you want a radically different version of the mold in different colours that might appeal to you better than her actual colours. Not because it's an accurate representation of Windblade in media.

Because "season whateverthey'recallingitnow" just ended (in Canada) with a mere six episodes and she wasn't in any of them, let alone in the SDCC Windblade's Fortress Maximus-based deco (yes, that's who the SDCC figure's colors are based on).chuckdawg1999 wrote:Also, who says that Windblade isn't going to show up in season whateverthey'recallingitnow of RID in those colors?

That makes no damn sense Chuck, and you know it. That SDCC windblade can only be officialy purchased in a box set and you only have it because you wanted the Brainstorm, showing how unlikely it is that someone seeks out that version of Windblade when contemplating whether to get it insead of the Takara version.
If you want your videos to be as useful as possible, compare the Takara version to the actual Hasbro version of that deco. That's what people are actually curious about. This is like comparing UW Bruticus to a combiner from FunPub, no one is thinking of either gettign one or the other.

Makes perfect sense to me, besides the big difference between the Takara and Hasbro version of Windblade is the amount of black detailing. Funny thing, Hasbro Windblade is roughly going for the same amount as the SDCC version, no way I'm paying that much

Definitely don't pay that much. When you have the Takara version there's literally no reason; the RiD version of the mold is the worst.

Oh dear God in heaven no I wouldn't do that. I'm not even THAT big of a fan of the mold.

Relax guys and just do a google search, the hasbro version is by far cheaper than the others.

I do monitor the prices on figures, but only in the US, and I assure you unless it's sold by Amazon, TRU, Target, or Walmart; Windblade is going for roughly the same amount as the Adventure version.

for ****'s sake chuck, just do some research before you post nonsense, the listing was american. here's another one for 20$ shipping included

So now its your turn please show me a listing of Adventure Windblade for 20$ shipping included

Calm down now William, there's no need to loose it. First, you didn't post a listing, you posted a picture to a listing, and clearly in the pic, it says Canadian shipping. So since I know how much Windblade is going for on Amazon US, I just assumed it was an Amazon Canada listing. I'm sorry if I'm upsetting you but I've been around a lot longer than you and know what's up.

#BreakingTensionOnTwoOfMyFavoritePeopleHere
As far as the RiD version of Windblade, I got her as an add-on to my expensive SDCC Brainwave figure (yeah, me too). And while I was initially happy, I am finding less and less to enjoy about her. Sure, the Generations was a tabbing mess in alt mode, and would tip over in bot mode if my cat sneezed (and I don't even have a cat, so what's up with that?) but overall, I like the look of Generations version more than RiD. For one thing, in alt mode I have one wing that has a tendency to pop up and not sit well against the shoulder pad. I blame that shoulder pad, really...

You'll understand when you're older, son![]()
Hmm, really? I was recently considering the SDCC set due to price drops and was being eased on the idea due to Windblade being a decent figure and the colour scheme looking nice even if it's not representative of anything... but that's a bit of a bummer.

In the meantime, I have yet to see a TAV Windblade for cheaper than $35, which for me is too much for a deluxe. I did it once, and that will be the last for a long time. But it was worth it since that Supreme Bee is awesome.
Speaking of surpreme: it would be pretty cool to get a Steeljaw Supreme and a Starscream supreme

Thanks D-Max, glad to know I can count on our news staff to bring sense (and evidence) to the table![]()
Speaking of those 3, I forget D-Max but did you get any of those Power Surge Primes? And you Kurona, are the Clash figures available at toysrus in scotland? I know they are online http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/browse/br ... 04309?Dy=1 but its really too bad how the normal power surge prime is £14.99 while the Clash redeco is £19.99.
