A lot of peeps seemed turned off by the stock configuration.


It can be done, and looks pretty decent too.





You would have to swap them back of course to transform him, but ... there's that.

Ain't nobody got time for dat! Well, I'm too lazy anyway. :p

The thing I dig most about Legends Bee is undoubtedly DAT FACE.

They did nail it on the expression, looks just like the G1 cartoon.

RAR wrote:Megs is OK - he's better in hand than in images.

But he's not the most playable of toys - he's kinda not fun if i'm honest.
he's very loose jointed and doesn't stand or pose especially well.

Not horrible and he does stand better than Optimus who also has balance issues - no matter which position his hips are in.

Both are well worth buying on sale - but might be worth not paying full price for - if you don't buy repaints - i'd say forget them and get Octane and Blitzwing instead.

I'd have a higher opinions if they stood better, didn't have obnoxious thin foil stickers with bad glue and didn't feel a bit light in the hand.

Other people might like them more than me though.

My megs stands fine, joints are all good and he's a goid figure imo. Maybe not full price, but good.


It's sawback i have issue with. His head just doesn't lock in.

Hehehe. I see this and all I can think is "Where's Stingray and Troy Tempest when you need them?"

Your eyes ad how they twinkle

I was referring to having Sharkticon be a submarine, and especially that fun shot of "Megatron" peering from the eye.

I also like how yo changed bumblebee up.

And about his face, it is super cute. I wasnt gonna get him but when I saw him in the store, with that headsculpt, I just couldnt leave him there, he had to come to a nice home and be with his friends. I dont know if it beats Universe Hound for cuteness but its damn close.

Nice one Sabr.

Since it is becoming some sort of tradition here I thought I'd post these two new Chefatron videos :



Other Reviews for Voyager Optimus Prime & Voyager Megatron for those that are interested :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5f6hiFJ7Tc

We only post the chefatron stuff when he gets figures before everyone else (living in the philipines). But for those figures you posted, he is late in the game (over 2 months late) since we have had reviews for a while. Especially those voyagers, they are old news at this point internationally, many fellow board memebrs here already own them and we have already newsed pictorial reviews from our own community. If its not about new figures, please leave those reviews for the actuall review forum. transformers-toy-review-forum-f227.php

Oh well at least "One of them" was useful.

I've edited the post and changed the other two to URL links instead.

@Sabr

I'm glad for those who found a Bargain - but Boy am I not happy with the Supermarkets right now.

What is really mystifying is why reduce them now - is it to get Combiner Force in or are they going to clear the shelves of Action toys and get in Beach Balls while there is snow on the ground.

Maybe clearing shelves for movie toys?

RAR wrote:What is really mystifying is why reduce them now

This is pure speculation, but it it's anything like in the states there was a second coming of TR deluxes that flooded the shelves. The Walmarts in our area have that repacked wave just pouring off the pegs and the overstock shelves overhead. I'm guessing they will end up on clearance, shame considering I already own them all.

It was a scramble to find them while there was drought before xmas, now the pegs will be full for sometime. Feast or famine I suppose

Most of the TF pegs (TR and RID) are bare, but at least the wave 3 legends are finally starting to show up in my area.

Guys look! I need him!

It turns out that today is the street date for the 2017 Wave 2 Titans Return toys, which includes Sky Shadow, Kup, Topspin, Perceptor and many others. Today, all stores importing from China simultaneously put this wave up for sale, which includes UK importer Orbital Comics and IDToys and Japan importers Red Mercury and Monster Japan (this is where people in Japan can get Hasbro items), to name a few. So, if any Japanese fan wants their hands on Sky Shadow (which is a Hasbro exclusive so far), they can do so today for $100. I will let you all bask in the irony that these Hasbro toys are currently out in Japan before the US.
Since these imports are from China, it only makes sense that they are out in Hong Kong, as is shown by the Titan Masters being out at Robot Kingdom right now (the rest are currently sold out but they are taking more preorders for when they restock).

Since BBTS, TFSource and other US collector stores order from Hasbro directly rather than import, they will not be available for a while. However, Comic Shops may have these so let us know if you find em!
