Ah, KO MP Ratbat. Easier to find than a G1 Ratbat, legit or KO.

Yeah. I kinda feel bad buying it. But, it's either that, or grab a Soundblaster for money I don't really have. My thinking is that TakaraTomy should just re-release Ratbat with some new cassettrons in a boxset. Idk.

There's no reason to feel bad about buying a KO, especially when the figures are hard to come by. You get to experience a mold and fill in a slot in your collection.

Has anyone received their MP Lio Convoy from BBTS?

[GeekyGamer Gal]

Hubby just won my B-Day.

Yeesss . . .

He may be a KO, but when the legit is over half of the price of my kitchen cabinets I will not complain.

Bonus pic: Doggo photobomb!

My elderly dog is clearly not impressed, and wishes it was a toy for her.

Also, sorry for sideways pics, but they show as the correct orientation everywhere but here...
EDIT!! Got it fixed!

He has not shipped from there as far as I've heard

Thank you! I'm getting impatient as usual. Been looking forward to this one.

TFsource just got him, I would expect BBTS to be pretty close behind

Thanks, carrytheone. Yr right. Btw, (slightly off-topic...) "Satellite of Love" and "Rocket Number 9"? Hey, you've gotta be talking about the Velvet Underground and the MC5, mang! Excellent taste in music, my friend.

Congrats on the great gift and happt bday! Hope I can find this KO at some point as I really want the MP scale version of him but can't quite afford the mainline pricing.

Just be prepared to wait ~2 months or more due to customs and COVID-19.

Currently on a band trip, found this freaky fellow hiding out at Walmart in Meridian, ID:

Then, in addition, my girlfriend (who's studying abroad in Germany rn) found and bought me a Soundbarrier somewhere, so I technically now own my first ER figure, even though I won't have it until over a month from now.

Also, sorry for sideways pics, but they show as the correct orientation everywhere but here...

Used to have the same issue, here's how I fix it:
-Open the photo in Paint or an equivalent program, once photo is on computer
-Rotate the photo a few times in any direction, then return it to it's original orientation
-Save photo
-Use it in post as normal
Now it should show up fine!

That is a great figure right there, not spectacular, but still really solid!

[thedistinctroom]

Grabbed some super nice custom boxes for the black chase Fun4All minibot keychains.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Those boxes could be almost half that size and still fit the Minibots O.O

Lol! Yeah, that's very true.

Close,...

What's the story on those cool boxes? Any way to get a peek at the other sides?

[LinaNui]

Got a Fortress Maximus in today! He is a great figure and a lot of fun to play with. My younger brother and I set up a whole battle ground with autobot city vs decepticon base (pics will follow tomorrow)! He is much bigger than I thought he would be, he towers over Omega Supreme! He also came with his box, which the ebay listing did not even mention! Overall, I am very happy with him.

If you don't already own Generations Metroplex nor the G1 original, TR Fortmax is indeed a great figure.
Better get his nemesis, Scorponok next year!

The main reason I picked up this guy was so that I could have him square off against Scorponok this fall! I do not have a generations Metroplex, I would love to get one but I am not paying the going rates of him now. Also, I can see them doing a more G1 Metroplex in a year or two since they are basically out of titans. So I will just wait for that day to get one.

Idk.. I think a reissue of Metroplex is more likely than a remake.. Also, if we head into a recession then we might be at the end of Titans for a while.
