Amazon finally put a picture up to go with their listing of the Micromaster Off Road Patrol and they really, REALLY screwed it up!

I bet they get a lot of negative reviews from people thinking they're somehow getting the Target exclusive 10 pack at this price even though it's obviously the wrong photos.

I love the design of SIEGE Megas, but i really hate Prime's truckmode, it just looks odd with the bulging headlights and that weird roof.

Agreed. I much prefer Galaxy Upgrade’s alt mode. Especially for “Cybertronian” vehicles.

[Skritz]

Tried to find a Ratchet. Could not find any.

[Manterax Prime]

M'eh. I still like the regularly painted Siege Optimus/Megatron better....

I agree with Death.

Yes, since like February. The news Flashwave actually dropped was that it is actually in stock at BBTS, not on pre-order.

I don't think the cell shading looks as good on Megatron as it does on Optimus. On Megatron, it looks more like camo or dirt than anything. Overall, I like the cell-shaded Megatron scheme more than the regular battle-worn scheme.

[BATTLEMASTER IIC]

Gotta save up my money for this. I've been waiting for an Omega Supreme figure like this for a very long time!

EDIT: Didn't occur to me I was replying to the same topic twice

I already know of 2 people who are planning on trying to get a free 10-pack from Amazon or a refund without product return

[First-Aid]

Dangitall! Flashwave must've beat me to it barely. I got the email this morning about 1015AM CST and ordered it before 1030 CST, sending the news notice moments later...


FLLLLAAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHWWAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[Ironhidensh]

I have paid full price for two titans, and I've bitterly regretted it. So unless I can find Omega for less than 80 bucks, he is, sadly, a pass from me.

I'm going to be waiting too, for some other reasons considering when Omega is coming out compared to some things happening elsewhere. Hopefully he's still available in the new year considering his late release

[Lore Keeper]

So, I jumped on the news as soon as I read this last night. I ordered Omega, then my excitement quickly turned to dread as I realized a big issue. In my rush, I forgot that the stored address is my old address! Their customer support isn't open until Monday, so now I'm praying I can get this fixed before a $160 toy gets sent to the wrong state!

This makes me oddly warm and fulfilled in my cold, lightless spark.

Mwahahaha

But I actually dropped the News Notice late Friday Night, after cancelling my Amazon PreOrder. Although given the rate at how quickly BBTS rolls things out the door, Amazon's October release date might still have been faster.

I was actually half afraid by the time the News went live BBTS would have sold out.

Can't you just cancel it, change your address and re-order it, I'm pretty sure they don't work until early monday morning? Also, I think you can still edit the order details until it ships, give it a try

Lore Keeper, I wouldn't sweat it. The have pretty ridiculous work hours. Something like 11 AM to 3 PM, and they usually don't ship anything until at least 3 days after you hit the ship button. I bet you have ample time to get a message through to them.

Bot and ape modes are magnificent, but that jet mode. Dafok dey did?
A big square with wings and a nosecone. Like those TR "cassettes".



This sucker will buy Siege Apeface anyway, but this make the G1 original even more precious. Plus my desire for a MP Apeface is stronger than before.


BTW, the ape feet at the back, I tilt them back one click for them to act as proper extra tailfins.

[Cyberpath]

Nice.

The jet deco could use some tweaking, the cockpit area, but otherwise they got everything else mostly right, it seems.

Re-posting my Apeface chart --

There's a thread here titled "The TF you want but you know HasTak will NEVER make" and I must say that it doesn't apply to me. They're making everything that I've wanted, it's almost as though they're reading and working off my wishlist, maybe even in the order of the requests. I'm sure Snapdragon and the remaining Autobot Targetmasters will follow.

I loved looking at the battle scenes on the back of the packages.



Getting all the characters/toys I didn't have as a kid.

[-Kanrabat-]

G1 have the jet mode.
Siege have the bot mode.
And both have an acceptable ape mode.

[Sentinel_Primal]

Apeface is looking great. Pre-ordered him off Amazon because there's no way I'm risking scalpers and never seeing him in stores

FYI the Chosen Prime has Siege Sound Blaster in stock
