I really hope they get the leaders in before the free shipping over $14.99 and the 15% off ends.
Lore Keeper wrote:From TFW2005:Some bonus trivia. The new name for the combination, Orthia (replacing the earlier Elita Infinite), is thought to derive from a Greek goddess Orthia / Artemis Orthia. Artemis is closely associated with the hunt, and the Sanctuary of Artemis Orthia was located in Sparta and represented the coming together of the four villages that made up the citystate. Sparta was a citystate known for its warriors, with its best known pop culture Spartans including Kratos of the God of War series and Leonidas from 300. The fact the name references a sanctuary associated with four villages coming together to form a state known for its warriors is a great way to reference four robots coming together to make a super robot combiner. Thanks to Purple Heart on the TFW2005 boards for sleuthing that one.
That is a really cool reference and very appropriate given the theme of the combiner!

Interesting remolding on Greenlight and Chromia, seems neither's head folds away

Me too. Before the Listings disappeared, when you would search Siege, you would get the 12 Listings for the items currently out. When the Siege listings disappeared for a little bit, searching Siege got you to a weird 1/2 loaded page with 14 results before moving to the "Oops, something went wrong" page with Mr. Potato Head.
I suspect the leaders will be up soon, but I also suspect they will be on Jan 7th, after the current discounts run out.
HA, wouldn't be the first time official pics were mistransformed. They did remove the wrist swivels though, which seems like an odd omission. It doesn't really seem to affect the look of the alt-mode and I wonder if it was to clear up room for things to peg into the back of the car?Lore Keeper wrote:I think it's just mistransformed. The chest plate is still attached to the waist by a hinge. The only purpose that hinge served previously was to allow the chest to open so the head could be tucked away.carytheone wrote:Those really are some lovely shades of green and I like the matching paint on Sparklefox there.

Half a dozen of one, six of the other ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Lore Keeper wrote:Yeah, I'm not sure why the changed the wrists either. They looked weird folded against the back of her vehicle mode, but do they really look any better now?carytheone wrote:HA, wouldn't be the first time official pics were mistransformed.

What I find suepr cool is that while it probably wont remain that when we get to the end of th year, that means there will be even better stuff to come out, which gets me very excited. Because with no exageration, that Siege Prime is one of the best Transformers figures I have handled in years, especially when we look at mainline figures made for mass appeal.
Got mine today from HTS but have been too busy adulting to open him. You've got me very excited and I hope I can agree with youwilliam-james88 wrote:I know its early, but that Siege Prime so far is my toy of 2019.

They're very impressive in hand and kinda heavy for their size. Unless I'm wrong Megatron is noticeably heavier than Prime.Rodimus Prime wrote:The truck mode is hideous, but the robot mode is pretty good. Same with Megatron. If they look good in hand, I'll I'll get them.
Yeah Megatron does have a sort of War Within Titanium vibe.carytheone wrote:They're very impressive in hand and kinda heavy for their size.

I don't even mind the splatter paint battle damage.
