Can I just ask: how is everyone's legends UM? I've been trying to decide if I should get him, but after two faulty cw magnus' (the mechanism for pivoting the shell with the wheels on the leg cracked internally) I am severely questioning jumping through hoops for the TT one.

How is the quality of yours? Especaily for those that double-dipped on the mold.

For some reason, I'm awake at this hour. So, allow me.

TAKARA ULTRA MAGNUS IS THE TITS!
Not only is that TF one of the BEST of 2015, he's really solid and amazingly engeneered. I have no complains whatsoever about him. He even hold his guns very solidly and his colors are vibrant and aplenty.

The only bad thing is mini-Trion. Just look at him wrong and his limbs will pop off like a leper in terminal phase.

Still, paying 15$CAN more than the full Canadian price with taxes have REALLY be worth it.

How's the plastic? Mine seemed ready to crack at normal handling (and then it actually did ) $70 seems a bit much, but I can't escape the feeling that I'll regret not getting him; guess since I won't be getting much from tw, it's justifiable

Honestly, it's been a while since I handled a figure with SOLID plastics. Nothing feel soft at all and I never once felt nervous in any steps when transforming him without instructions. Still, I can't compare because I never handled the Hasbro version.

Interesting, it felt brittle, like I could snap it when it broke, especially the panels on the rear of the legs. Think I might go for this then, assuming no one else says the trion is crap, he needs to be able to pilot magnus!

Kanrabat, care to help us ut with something?

I know hellscream is hesitant on this expense so I wanted to reassure him.

Takara UM is 47$ on amiami, how much did the shipping cost you?

I was hoping to tell him that it would be cheaper than the 70$ he is assuming.

Good thing I save my receips!

So do you have a rough estimate to have it shipped to Illinois? I thought, a while back we came to the general consensus that it costs roughly the same to buy thru bbts (or others) as it would to import it?


On a completely unrelated note, met a fellow fan at the deli today, one James M. who also loves tf's, hey Will, there something you're not telling me

Haha, I dont lead a double life. Not enough time. And what Knrabat wrote means that it would only cost you 15 bucks to ship from Japan, which is amazing. So 47$ +15$ makes 62$ shipped instead of $69.99 + shipping. You save about 15$ at least. Your call.

You should be able to know RIGHT NOW how it will cost total from Amiami. The thing is in stock. Just put in your cart and check-out. You'll see the total before you confirm your purchase.

Alright, thanks, I will take all of this under advisement, but considering how much I'm liking the new characters from tw, I might have to re-evaluate what I'm getting.

So you didn't secretly emigrate to the US and buy a house near me? bummer, would've made my day if you had

"Starscream, come and eat pizza with me."

"Huh? All right, but right after, I'm off to troll Thundercracker."

Yo Dawg, I herd you like Slipstream! So I gave a Slipstream to yo' Slipstream so she can Slipstream wit 'er Slipstream!

That's weird, I coulda sworn there were more posts here. Did something get modded?

On topic, I realized something pretty funny. Blackarachnia is suffering from "Beast Mode Gender Dysphoria" AKA "Waspinatoritis". Those bulbous pedipalps she has in spider mode? They look cool for sure, and they're necessary for forming her iconic chest design...but only male spiders have enlarged pedipalps like that.

So either Takara made a monstrous cock-up or Blacky-chan is now a ladyboy.

Stuff happened that may or may not have involved aliens or Sasquatch or you can just check here. Either way it's far above my pay grade.

While Legends Ultra Magnus has been out for a while (we have a gallery already posted for your viewing pleasure), there have been few videos of this toy. But we have some now. Fellow Seibertronian Madeus Prime sent our way a fun stop motion video from youheidx and Chuckdawg has reviewed him. Enjoy!

Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath has sent our way two fun pictures found on TF Yuki's twitter featuring the upcoming Legends figures Slipstream and Starscream Super Mode. The second picture below features Slipstream holding the Transformer of the same name from the Robots in Disguise series. As fellow Seibertronian Sabrdlabe puts it: "Yo Dawg, I herd you like Slipstream! So I gave a Slipstream to yo' Slipstream so she can Slipstream wit 'er Slipstream!"

Jokes aside, the comment from TF Yuki concerning this picture was quite a headscratcher for Google Translate and any fan is welcome to share, in the discussion, what they believe he means by the following:

この二人が同じ名前になってしまうって、本当にＴＦの世界は凄いと思います。少し大きなクッションでも持っている感じになるかと思っていたのだが、これだと人質を取っている様にしか見えない、これも善悪の対立するキャラが存在するＴＦならではかな。

English: I think it's same name becomes two people really great world of TF. Taking a hostage and was thought to have a larger cushion going, this is TF exists but that is invisible, this conflict between good and evil characters only?

If you have a Transformer that has loose ball joints or ones that tend to pop off just put a little varnish in the cup if it's the pop-off issue then put the varnish on the upper edge of the cup - that works really well to prevent any popping off issues I find.

(Might be useful for CW Groove's hips too for example)

Both Magni look very cool and are both good purchases IMO. Also, that stopmotion yo!

I'll just assume all the posts that were lost, were about how awesome Legends Ultra Magnus is, and that I should be commended for helping sell the figure. Your welcome.
