Btw anyone a bit weirded out that Crosshairs has the cartoon/comics head and not his toy-accurate head when usually Hasbro tend more toward the toy designs. Maybe its because his regular head design was too much like Ironhide?

[no-one]

My Greenlight was packaged nicely as well. To be fair, that other pic was from Louisiana. Not sure if it was a one-off, or if others arrived in similar fashion....

To be fair, Plain Dealings is in North LA, I'm in southern LA. There's bit of an inside joke dig somewhere in that

Well hey, they turned into a ghost town after the idiotic closure of the marketplace in favor of an awkward proprietary eBay Lite thing. They've got to try and retain what little traffic they still get somehow.

Who do you mean now?

I think they've gone more cartoon lately, especially with the SIEGE line. Both molds and decos. (But not without some "misses" like Soundwave's visor.)

That's why the brand unification thing doesn't really bother me as much anymore and why SIEGE is so tempting.

On the official Transformers Amazon store, Reflector is $30 while Brunt and the rest of the Deluxes are $20, what am I missing here?

Isn't it enough that we have to get three exact copies of the same action-figure in order to get the full character?

BTW, anyone got him yet? Any good?

True but I figured that was mainly for the '84 and '85 guys.

Actually Brunt is $30 also. The jacked up prices are 3P sellers, not Amazon directly. It can be a bit tricky and confusing sometimes. You'll know it's Amazon directly when they are the normal price, or even on sale at a lower than MSRP price.

He's not $30
He's $20

Yes. It used to be bustling, but after the closure of the marketplace traffic dropped off dramatically.

Brunt is definitely $20 -- https://www.amazon.com/Tra-Gen-Wfc-Delu ... 07JW4CCJ8/

The seller is "Transformers" I think that's the official account. I have Skyfire on pre-order from them.

Reflector costing as much as Springer, must be a mistake, right?

Yes, should be $20. Also click other sellers well for brunt anyway.

Just used the Report incorrect product information link. Lets see what happens.

When you bring up the listing it shows $30. It’s showing a 3rd party price first. If you click on other sellers, you’ll see the amazon price of 19.99. That choice isn’t available with reflector. That means Amazon has none to sell at the moment.

OK, I've only been there for the news but since they changed their picture gallerys to not having an overview of all the thumbnails anymore I rarely visit the site. I mean sometimes there are 100 pictures in a gallery and you are supposed to look through all of them to see what's there. That's total BS. And don't say it's to make it more mobile friendly. Even then it's just stupid.

[o.supreme]

See below examples of listings WITH and WITHOut actual Amazon as the primary seller....

[Cyberpath]

Still bummed that the Decepticon Targetmasters are also Headmasters whenever I pick them up. I wish Hasbro hadn't forced that gimmick on eveyone. At least their Autobot counterparts won't suffer from that.

I used to frequent the place, but after the marketplace was closed in favor of the proprietary sale/auction service (which hasn't seen much use from what I can tell) it turned into a sad ghost town of a site and I eventually gave up. I drop in on occasion, but it always makes me sad. Seeing years-old threads lingering high on the first page of a forum from a lack of fresh activity...

That gallery change is in the same clunky idiotic vein as the proprietary sale/auction service replacing the marketplace. If someone with sense doesn't somehow take over from the current owner soon, the place will probably go under completely...


More on topic, what do people think of SIEGE Megs vs. Combiner Wars Optimus?

But one thing they are good at is being first on having news a lot of times. At least in my experience. That's the only reason why I still check the site every ones in a while.

Keep checking periodically, they did have some to sell earlier today, I was able to get 2, but they are on back-order until July 10th.

Thanks to Seibertron.com's own commander on deck Seibertron, we have some images showing an up close view of War for Cybertron Siege Springer's box revealing Wheeljack and an outline of what appears to be Sunstreaker! Given Wheeljack's previous losing spot in the fan vote which he shared with Spinister who is now confirmed to be on his way, can this old favorite be that far behind? One might assume he will be in the same deluxe size class as his vote-mate but with fans wondering how his G1 hover-van mode will be pulled off maybe they'll take the opportunity to pull off a few tricks in a Voyager scale. That's just one guess but tell us what you're thinking. This news was also shared with us by fellow Seibertronian Randomhero. Take a peruse and share your views with the Seibertron crew in the forums.

Apeface!

Wonder how big Astrotrain will be? Shockwave (Voyager) or Magnus Big?

[Skritz]

Is it wrong I'd totally want Siege Wheeljack to wield some bigass cyber-wrentch as a melee weapon to clobber Decepticons with?

[Stormshot_Prime]

Here’s to hoping Wheeljack’s altmode will look like how he appeared in the first episode of the G1 cartoon.
