Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

DHL is even less reliable than the USPS. It's insane. Normally if Hasbro ships from their warehouse in Romeoville IL to my place it takes two days via USPS and UPS. DHL takes 7-10 days, if I'm lucky.

Well, seeing as how Star Raider Lockdown is just a straight redeco of the Junkion Axlegrease with no new tooling besides a new head based more on ROTF Lockdown than Animated Lockdown, I'd say it'd be like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and result in a figure that's as visually faithful to the design of Animated Wildrider as all the Legacy figures that were based on TF: Prime characters (as in, not very accurate at all).Ig89ninja wrote:So, with Animated Motormaster all but on shelves, a thought occurred to me when thinking about the rest of the Animated Stunticon Team.
Since Animated Wildrider was a retool of Lockdown, and we just got Star Raider Lockdown, how's Star Raider Lockdown, and how well do you think the mold can be retooled into Animated Wildrider?

I was last night. I should rephrase though: the hurricane effects weren't as bad as projected where I live. North Florida and Southeast Georgia got hammered. I live closer to the Alabama line so I just got a lot of rain and some wind.First-Aid wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote: fortunately the hurricane was nowhere near as bad as projected.
Are you in the hurricane area, bro?

I'm on the fence about getting the new one, and Amazon just sent me the warning that it will ship on Monday or Tuesday. But if the quality isn't fixed...
Well my Siege Megatron that came in the exclusive pack with the purple bone guy I sold you that was all shiny and chrome also has yellowing on the thighs and arms.-Kanrabat- wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:On an unrelated subject, what are the chances that the new Leader Soundwave will have the same yellowing issues as the Netflix Soundwave?
I think I heard that the yellowing thing was a one-off that happened due to some manufacturing shenanigans. It is been a while since I heard of any new figure yellowing. This "leader" Soundwave is from a new batch so the kinks must have been fixed.

Yeah I really would like that Rumble and Buzzsaw so I'll pick up the set now for sure. I was mainly worried about the yellowing.

I still think there's a chance we'll get a Lockdown in the future that's a retooled Legacy Chase figure. I've even seen pictures of people showing his legs can be extended like Lockdown.
Just found this photoshop when looking for the picture:
Definitely needs additional tooling, but it's a possibility.
