It was a quickly delivered Pulse order.

I love it here

There's a video review up for needlenose by primevsprime
And I still think the figure is great. I know there are some that aren't a fan of how simple he is but I love both modes and the transformation looks fun. I like the targetmasters too, I prefer the bot mode to be sacrificed for a better gun mode in their case. Chonky guns weren't my cup of tea. Anyways here's the link

Ya'll have issues. I love it.

Can we throw JKeffrey Dahmer in the mix or is it too soon? Did we already jump the shark?

I finally opened Skullgrin
I like him.
His alt mode is cool
His bot mode is menacing
And the fan modes Hell yeah
As a (poor)sentry mode that speeding Autobots can sneak up on


Then BAM!!! He transforms and blasts them!


Or a possible tower on a city bot
I don't have the Black Zarak, but I bet he looks great with it.



That tail piece is key
It's a versatile part for this figure.
Pleasantly surprised by this terrifying monstrous robot

Me too, hard not to love one of Korn's best albums.

Another one for you guys -

Was Minerva back in stock this afternoon? I spent five minutes trying to check out before it was updated to sold out again. I'll try again at 1 PM ET, I guess.

They are having a problem processing payments. It might go back up at 1.

Yeah hard to find items like Minerva, Crasher and Shadowstrip we're back in stock on Pulse for a few minutes stuck behind a premium membership paywall. At least Walgreens has the listing up for Minerva now, so hopefully soon it will be available on their site.

It's not just the premium membership thing. During Hascon the same thing happened, but I wasb't affected that time.

There was an issue with payment processing. I called. They said that 'no one' could buy Minerva or anything but she went out of stock WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE.

I don't know whether to be offended at Pulse, or pity them right now. I got a jokey " is your WiFi ok" email to come back to my cart and finish my purchase.

Well if they can figure s*#t our and fix their site so I can purchase what I want, then maybe I will...

It's still showing out of stock for me. Or it's sold out again?

Maybe those items really weren't back in stock and weren't supposed to be on the list, but someone messed up and now they have to do damage control

Nope. It was just out of stock the first time.

They don't 'put up more' for non-Premium members...even if there was an issue affecting untold numbers of customers. But take heart - She's listed on Walgreens, and she was not as of Tuesday. Keep checking there, as she's 18.74 on their website.

Yeah, I haven't had any problems getting Walgreens exclusives for TF or Marvel, so I'm sure it'll be fine. Though Twitter is my primary source for drops and, well, *points at dumpster fire*.

Preternia said he's 'going to post here until they shut it down' so keep using him. He's the man.

Allegedly

I really want to like the new "Pretenders". But Skullgrin and Bomb-Burst not being the same size bothers me. Well, also them not being actual Pretenders too, but I could live with that, they look really sweet though. Just gonna stick with my PotP set. Though I'm still hoping the Diver mould will be realeased somehow. Not holding my breath lol.

PrimevsPrime uploaded a video review for Legacy Evolution deluxe Needlenose. You can see form the images that this is a tall deluxe, almost reaching the height of voyagers, as you can see with the comparisons in the video. He also comes with 2 Targetmasters, Sunbeam and Zigzag, that interact with Needlenose in multiple ways. Those wondering how simple the transformation would be will get their question answered here.

I scored almost all of Wave 3 on the pulse restock today. Inferno was the only one sold out, but the deluxes, Starscream, and megatron were all secured.

I was able to get to checkout with Minerva, almost bought a 2nd, backed out last minute.

As does mine

Am I the only one who thinks that Needlenose mold would make a good Cybertron Thundercracker?

Somebody pointed out that Needlenose has extra plastic on its nosecone and tailfin that match the Triggercon Windsweeper.

Pvp mentioned being curious about needlenose being a potential combiner or something down the line. Maybe if retooled into dreadwind?
It also makes pretty much no sense but it looks like he could make up part of the Armada starsaber. I guess with another deluxe jet bot down the line
But it makes no sense for this character to be part of that, and it'd be a ridiculously huge weapon. So.... just me with a dumb idea lol
