I'm hoping for a better 2024, at least in regard to what I'm after. Who knows it might have been somebody's best year!
If we get a new Soundawve, Awesome! If we get a new Powrglide, great! Asterotrain would also be most welcome and I think I could very well be convinced to by a Commander version if it fixes all of issues of the last figure! But hopefully they can manage it fine with a Leader class release. Of course this feels like the very last thing that would ever happen.
Reruns of both VW Bee, Sunstreaker and Thrust(Target) would be really nice.

Then, SS86 Snarl, my favorite Dinobot, was finally added to my collection.
Between him, Menasor, the Insecticons, and getting Cosmos through a friend, it was an outstanding year for me. SS86 Ratchet and CC Ultra Magnus were a nice bit of icing to cap-off '23.

Definitely want to get this just for Hound, Sunstreaker, & Trailbreaker.
It will be interesting to see if these are free of transparent plastic.
Till-all-R1 wrote:I really liked Blitzwing too, especially the Bot mode. I didn't list him because he was a 2022 purchase for me. But if they can deliver that good on a new Astrotrain I'm all for it!
I'm not into the Dinobots enough to get them at almost $60 each, they look great though! Since I already went through the trouble and of getting the Amazon Ratchet, and slightly over paying, I decided to pass on SS86 release.
Till-all-R1 wrote:Honestly that sounds like a very nice set if true, two most wanted and a decent reissue? I missed Trailbreaker due to having other more important things on my mind so I wouldn't say no to a second chance at him, though I suspect the deco will be different somehow being it's "Selects"? I can't see them doing a straight reissue of him so soon.
I hope they can fix the color match issue with Sunstreaker. And for Hound, IDK, with them reusing the Siege mold I'm not quite convinced yet. Maybe it's the color on Detritus but it didn't win me over in the sculpt department. The legs just don't look right to me for G1 Hound. Nor does the front bumper. Guess I'll have to wait and see final product.
Devcon never showed up in my neck of the woods either. He was part of Legacy Evolution Deluxe class Wave 3, along with Axlegrease, Beachcomber, and a rerelease of Tarantulas.Nemesis Destron wrote:Happy New Year fans!!!
Devcon was one of the few I missed finding in stores. He was released in stores or did I miss something?
What wave was he apart of? My thanks in advance!

That might be for the Magmasaurus configuration instead.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Looking closely at his tail, it kinda looks like the tail just hangs down sagging behind his waist where the original figure's tail rotated upside-down and plugged into his backside to keep it in place and prevent any and all sag.
Mistransformation?
Because I spy a clip on that tail that is not used.

The underside of the tail is sagging below the crotch space. In these two pics:-Kanrabat- wrote:As for that tail, after comparing the vintage and the modern, I don't see what's "sagging" about it. The vintage can just point down like a 3rd leg while the Legacy one flows naturally like a real tail.
