Takara DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime! (one of my grails)

That's a great figure. I'm glad you picked one up

[Cobotron]

HEY-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Takara DOTM Jetwing Optimus Prime! (one of my grails)

I had one for sale for like, ever. I finally sold it for 160$ shipped on Ebay some weeks ago. It was loose, with paperworks, plus it included a pair of Takara blades and a DrWu sword and shield.

Did you had a nice deal for yours?

I think so. He was £110 (about $166 US) including shipping and import charges. not bad for a MIB figure. I'm just over the moon to finally get him.

WOW, MIB! That is a great deal!

Not bad. Not bad at all!

I found combiner wars bombshell for $14.99 at Walmart. Is that too much? I thought he would be going for $9.99 the most.

Definitely too much... then again, $9.99, while better, is still kinda high for these guys, considering they don't come with transforming mini-mates.

And yet I would be willing to pay TRU 12,99 pricetag for a Bombshell.
Think we'll get a new Kickback soon?

*shrug*

If we do get Kickback, it'll either be part of 2"16's lineup or done by a third party. Prefferably the former, since a third party one would look weird with the other two Insecticons, either aesthetically or by its complexity.

10$CAN was the good old price for scout figures and commanders until Beast Hunters. So, it would have been the normal regular price.

Unfortunately, this is the here and now. Where Scouts are 15$ and Legions are 9$ and deluxes at 20$.
That's one hell of a price hike!

[shajaki]

HEY-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I've been hunting for these already. But if y'all 'MERicans are just getting them... I guess I'll be waiting a bit

I can wait until 2016 for a Kickback in scale to the Bombshell and Shrapnel that have come out.

God damn, the 20$ tag in Canada for Deluxe/Warrior class toys is killing me just a little bit. It means I need to be more discerning in my purchases coming forth.

Going from 16-17$ to 17-20$ is a nasty price increase, but making Legions go from 6$ to 9$ is very aggravating. That's 50% MORE! I used to buy a lot of the little guys. Not anymore. :/

[NuclearConvoy]

I have very rarely found the scaled-down versions of characters designed to be deluxe or greater to be very good, but the toys designed from the ground up to be that scale can often be excellent.

You guys can do what I did. With those prices, I decided to go for Japan's releases. They come out to the same price (including combined shipping and taxes) but you get premium deco. You have to get the preorders though (it gets more expensive after that).

CW Powerglide. Winner! This mold is simply great!

That is a fair point that I am willing to consider henceforth. My Henkei Skyfire is an amazing toy and any of the other Japanese imports I have gotten have all been of higher QC and paint decos than their North American counterparts (assuming it is a toy that gets an NA release at all)

Finally got my Legends Arcee. somewhat mixed feelings on her. Her paintjob is gorgeous and G1 accurate but some of her joints feel off. The left hip joint felt soft and like it may tear, feels better after loosening a screw but its still a worry. Also the neck joint wont turn left or right without popping the neck panel off its connection, like its connection to the chest is spring loaded or something. Anyone else notice any joint concerns?

Must be an isolated incident. My Arcee Legends has tight joints.

Yea, mine just seems a little too tight, like the joint would rather break than move. Might be some mold flash on the inner part of the joint. I'd be able to check if the part holding the hips on wasnt pinned in. I did remove the screw that was in that assembly and it seems to help. Moves a little smoother without loosening the other leg

[LegendaryAntiHero]

Well, at least you got Arcee. I haven't picked her up yet

[Mindmaster]

Both Perceptor and Dirge arrived yesterday evening, a day earlier than their expected arrival!

I like Dirge, definitely makes me want to get the remaining five standard Seekers. He's also my first Conehead, so it's a new experience of sorts!

I like Perceptor's robot and vehicle modes, but his transformation is kinda frustrating, especially his Sideswipe/Sunstreaker/Trailbreaker/Hoist-like arms. I'm scared of breaking the damn thing!

[MightyMagnus78]

He is, along with Bombshell.

Finally Picked up Generations Rhinox today.
