Hellscream9999 wrote:Fellow Seibertronians, robotkingdom now has live pre-orders for the Combiner Wars wave 2 Legends and Voyager class figures. While many of the image's are just placeholders, the pre-order does include the wave breakdown for the Legends figures, and dates for the figures' arrival.
The legends class wave will include the much sought after Shockwave, Wreckgar - a remold of legends class Groove, as well as a re-release of Warpath, and Bombshell. Both waves are listed as arriving in March.
You can check out the pre-orders for the Legends and Voyagers by clicking the appropriate picture below:
And don't forget to let us know what you think of them. Will you be going in on either of these cases?

I'll probably get the Skylynx/Onslaught combo since Onslaught has eluded me in brick and mortar stores so far. Actually I've only seen Blast Off and Vortex from the current wave so far.

Yeah, I imagine that they had a lot of leftover warpaths that nobody really wanted, but considering how spotty bombshell was (both online and in stores) it's nice that people can get the insecticon again - that was a frequent complaint about skrap-shrap-nel;
But I haven't seen any of Wave 1 yet, so you're lucky

I must be in a pretty decent spot because I saw a lot of Bombshells around for awhile. I suppose having three Targets and three or more Walmarts within 15 minutes in any direction helps.
Is this the Onslaught with the different colored Bruticus chest, btw? I haven't paid enough attention to really tell the differences between the two.

Nobodies sure. Hasbro had said that there would be a running change, but the images are just placeholders - pics from botcon - so until they get the figures in, we may not know; but honestly, unless you're picky, or gunning for a certain color, Sky Lynx + Onslaught seems like a nice and tidy package to me

Yeah, either version will be fine with me. Never had the G1 combaticons anyway so I'm not tied to a specific look. I definitely like this case better than the Onslaught/Scattershot combo.

Yeah, it's not so much a crack as a tear, it's small and only evident when trying to rotate the arm - which I won't do; and as of right now, there is no give in the arm, it was stuck in place before I removed the arms.carytheone wrote:Oops, I forgot about this question.

wow, bet that's never been said about tf joints before
Any oil will degrade the plastic something fierce. Maybe a dab of graphite powder? It works wonders on locks and my pocket knife (nylon washers).
If you could pop out the joint you could stand down the ball joint with some super fine sandpaper.
Got the arms off, might try that; not really sure what happened -I've never had this happen to this degree before, it's like the ball or joint swelled up or something

Nice! I gotta say that even leaving Dragstrip in a pose for a couple days makes him a bit stiff at the joints. Hey you know what! I’m gonna experiment and keep him in a pose for a few days and see how tight his joints are. I wanna see if he really is THAT sticky jointed.

Dude, seriously, trust me, not a great idea.
If you do, be extremely careful applying pressure to move his shoulders, all you need to do though, is take his arms off at the shoulders and let them sit over night and dust off the ball and socket, but I'm finding that this is happening over a period of 15 mins now - at a much smaller scale, but still
So the plastic is rubbing off and causing the joint to freeze? Huh? I haven't noticed that with mine but I don't handle Dragstrip very often. I'll check when I get home.Hellscream9999 wrote:SillySpringer wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:Wooooo re-assembled my dragstrip, and he seems to be fine just gonna need to give his joints a lot more exercise

Don't worry, I'll be careful. I am thinking of leaving him there for about a day, move ONE of the joints, see how sticky it is, leave him there for another day, move a different joint, and after a while if the last joint I move is too sticky I'll exercise the joints a bit so they don't stick. I've been fiddling with this guy for months now so I'll know when to stop the experiment.
Edit: it usually takes approximately 2 hours before it sticks just enough to have to move and loosen, but not NEARLY enough to break. I am thinking it'd be better to maybe NOT wait a day but however about 5 hours before moving a joint.
Btw I have him set up now for the experiment, now all I have to do is wait.

This whole situation confuses me. Out of curiosity, I removed Dragstrip (whose shoulder joints haven't moved in months) from Menasor, and moved his shoulder joints. They worked perfectly, which has led me to a well-thought out and logical conclusion to this whole issue.
QC hates Hellscream.

Taken from the Transmissions Podcast leak:
2. Deluxe Afterburner, a recolor/remold from Unite Warriors Deluxe Groove.
3. Deluxe Lightspeed, a recolor/remold from a Combiner Wars Stunticon car limb.
4. Deluxe Nosecone, a recolor/remold of Combiner Wars Brawl (yes, with the drill from BotCon Ramhorn).
5. Deluxe Strafe, a recolor/remold of a Combiner Wars Aerialbot limb jet mold. Probably not remolded much from being a conventional Earth jet though.
