Got my order in for TT and WB. Passed on Misfire.

Showing OOS for me now.

Twin Twist sold out in under an hour. The other 2 sold out a few hours later. Pretty amazing demand.

They do seem hard to come by. I saw two cases at my local TRU. Only picked up Misfire and Twintwist at the time. Finally went on Amazon and got Windblade the other day. I got tired of not finding her anywhere.

As for Amazon, Hot Rod is only $9.99 with Prime shipping right now.

Observation on why Getaway AKA Breakaway was picked to flesh out Wave 3 that's been rattling around in my head for a while:
With Powermaster Optimus Prime having been made, Hasbro decided they wanted another Autobot Powermaster character to go with him. And of all the remaining Autobot Powermasters, Getaway was the only one they could really shoehorn an existing Titans Return mold into being.

The ideal base figure for Getaway would be Universe Sunstreaker, but of course that would have been more work to turn into a TR toy if it was even possible.

I totally get why wave 5&6 figures sell out online -- they're hard to find in the States. I have yet to see them at all in Oregon, despite having so may brick & mortar options.

So I may not get these figures, due to poor purchasing decisions by my local buyers.

Just to make sure.
Will that HASCON Arcee be a regular release or remain exclusive? Because 100$ for a single TR deluxe is a hard pill to swallow.

Oh and for anyone who gets that Magnus head: put it on Magnus Prime! The helmet will cover it up, but at least you can say your Magnus Prime does have a Magnus head somewhere!

THE PAIN!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!


Seriously, that does not look good.

That is...not a good facesculpt. Ech.

It seems like many of these stand alone Titan Master heads like Ultra Magnus & Thunderwing don't have many good options for bodies to display them on. I wonder if Thunderwing would work on Galvatron's body though.

Magnus might look good on Top Spin/Twin Twist?

I actually does work pretty well. I have the Hasbro version, but I think it would work even better on the Takara one as there is some light purple on Thunderwing.

It does really work well with the lighter purple.

& just for a comparison, here he is next to the Generations Thunderwing:

Anyone get a chance to put Magnus on Laser Prime?

I really believe Nitro ZEUSSSSSS is the body for TR Thunderwing.

Agreed.

Already got Thunderwing loose on eBay.

Now just waiting for a good price or store availability on Nitro.

As cool as I find that TR Arcee, she won't be replacing the multiple Generations figures I have of her...And imho, Nautica wore it better.

TR Cosmos & Seaspray finally made it to Oregon! Now where's Misfire....

Me too, damn Grimlocks everywhere.

Kind of a shame they didn't give Grimlock a removable head too. Although that's just a small letdown, it's not something stupid like repacking AoE Bumblebee instead of DotM Bumblebee... But this isn't the thread for that rant.

EDIT: Fixed the stupid "smell" typo..

Seaspray was worth the wait!

EDIT: I am now A. on my computer and B. recovered from irritation at the tab crashing twice in my phone browser when I was trying to write a reply to another thread before coming to this one. So I can now be more articulate.

Given that Super Modes like the one TR PMOP is permanently in are there to give Optimus extra Decepticon-thrashing power, I wanted to see if I could do something like this with him and Galvatron. And quite happily, I could - so enjoy this pic of him about to smash Galvatron into the ground. This was done without external support, by the way. I am enjoying these toys very much.

What do people think of the paint detail I added to Optimus' legs, by the way?

No they don't, that's the letdown

Over a week later and I still havent finished applying TR Trypticon's stickers. There's so many and they are so tiny! Plus, they tend to fold in two or even tear in half from the sheet. And finally, the paper taking off with the sticker is annoying as hell.

Still, when the sticker manage to finally get on the figure, they are worth it.

I'll order the Reprolabels for the purple guy as well, once I get my next pay.
