SS-74 ROTF Bee's paint is a little lacking out of the box, but it cleans up really nicely! Once again, the shade of yellow on it is perfect. The tinted windows are also nice.

You do some really nice paintwork, Bee looks great!

Thank you very much, I really had fun painting it up!

Very nice! I was at Target last night, but people already bought the 2 Bees you got/I wanted, so still debating ordering from Target app at $3 more per figure or waiting to find them in person

That looks great! Amazing how much better it looks with a good deco.

Thanks! I didn't find mine until the second target I went to, but if you don't find them I would say $3 extra is offset a little bit since it includes the extra figure of Sam.

Thank you!

Skipjack is pretty cool! Lack of elbows is a bummer, but it’s a fun figure. Now that I have ROTF Bee I wish I had picked up Rampage, but Skipjack stands in nicely and I prefer the yellow color for combined mode. Just 1 Constructicon to go!

despite the elbows, I am a staunch Rampage fan, I love that mold A LOT! And the Rampage colors as a standalone are fantastic.

Which Constructicon do you still need?

[aronjlove]

The first pic is from a friend this morning, and the second is mine from just a few minutes ago. Walmart is now stocking SS86 Grimlock; both places had two on the shelf.

If you can go out, please be safe. I got word my friend's aunt passed in the night from Covid. If Sudafed weren't used by meth addicts and could be shipped, I probably wouldn't be going out myself, but the good Sudafed has to be purchased in person, and you get put on a Federal list with a limit to how much can be purchased.

Hopefully this means BBTS and Amazon will get them in soon. Still waiting for BBTS to actually get the rest of Kingdom in which is already showing up in retail stores.

Just need Overload now. I figured it'd still be on shelves for a while (was hoping to get it less than $50 after I missed the $35 preorder), but I haven't seen it in forever. Granted, I'm not out in stores all that often though.

I still need to get Topspin too, I think Pulse may be my best option.

At least for Topspin, Pulse is the way to go.

As for Overload, yeah, he flew off the shelves. I never saw one personally, but I did get 2 from separate preorders.

If you have issues locating Overload, let me know, I might be able to help

Oh shoot, I didn't realize Overload was gone from Pulse too.

I appreciate the offer, thank you! I'll let you know how the search goes.

Holy crap, Grimlock is huge! If we are getting more Dinobots in the SS86 line, I might just cancel my Takara Volcanicus pre-order. This is as definitive a Grimlock as it gets. The lil Wheelie figure is a cherry on top, not even a good cherry. It's just there. But man this Grimlock is freaking awesome!

Overload being the final constructicon always meant he would fly off the shelves.

Would you mind to take a picture of him besides potp optimal optimus? Or any leader from prime wars trilogy is okay, if you do not have him.

Yeah, I'll do so in the morning. All three of my PotP leaders are at work and I'll be on campus tomorrow. I'm want to see how he looks next to PotP Rodimus.

Speaking of Constructicons, I just finished paint work on Scavenger!

"Pull over!"

I keep going back and forth for my favorite Constructicon - I like all of them, but I think it's Scavenger and Scrapper who are competing for first.

I put Scavenger ahead of Scrapper in my top 10 of 2020, but I think I'm leaning more toward Scrapper now.

Really nice paint work! Love what you do to the SS bots.

Favorite Constructicon for me is Rampage, but Overload and Scavenger are both very strong too. Long Haul is my least favorite, but he's still pretty good. There was not a bad constructicon.

Here is SS86 Grimlock with a couple of PotP Leaders. I noticed when I took the pic of Grim and Rodimus I had his knees bent so I straightened him out for the pic with Optimal Op. I appreciate the ratchet joints and I hope they hold up well as Rodimus has already gotten a little floppy in the legs.

The articulation on Long Haul is really what brings the figure down, but the sculpting and proportions are well done. I’d agree it’s not my favorite, though.

I wonder what the individual figures would’ve looked like if they went with the plan of having Scavenger be commander class and Overload as a voyager.

I'm also curious, I would loved to have seen a SS Commander figure. They deserve one, they have several bots that could work for the size class

I was going to say the exact same thing, lol. Hopefully all the other dinobots get the same size treatment.
