Huh, hadn't noticed this before, only saw it when searching for something entirely unrelated, doesn't even show up in the list of upcoming Transformers.

BBTS pre-orders for Korean boxed Ligerjack and Noisemaze. Due this month and priced at $50 each. Ordered a Ligerjack since he's in the better (IMO) Japanese colors, the quality should be good, and the price is definitely right. Looking forward to finally having a Leobreaker to go with Prime after all these years. Still need a Nemesis Breaker.

Well that's interesting. Some long lost stock?

Anniversary re-issues?

Why those 2 specifically?

Also $50? Weren't they $20 when they came out?

Probably old stock. They're different size classes so I don't know what the significance of the $50 is. Looking around to see if anyone else is selling them I found old listings for Ligerjack at $40 or less so this isn't a significant price increase.

Interesting that Korean versions of these guys surfaced.

Also interesting that Noisemaze / Sideways is the same price as Leobreaker, as you say they were different size classes.

Not sure either of them are worth $50 at this point. If NoiseMaze was $30, I might have taken the plunge.

I already own Leo Breaker so don't need another of him.

Maybe they can find old stock of Wing Saber. I'd pay $50 for him in a heartbeat.

I have the Galaxy force Leobreaker, he is really nice.

I think Nemesis Breaker is 1 of only 2 versions of that mold I don't have, the other being the white Leo Prime. I enjoy it despite its limitations.

speaking of Galaxy force, look who I got this weekend

Great find! I've been considering buying the Year of the Horse version of it. I used to own that figure and loved it.

I thought I was looking at the Supreme one. I'm tired. Still a very good mold and figure, regardless of size.

It would be awesome if there was a way to combine the small one with the big one, kind of like Star Saber. That would mean the Supreme one couldn't be on its own though.

All of the Hot Shots came today: 2 Galaxy force ones, a legends of Cybertron, and the Selects.

Do you know what you call a group of Hot Shots?

An Armada.

I wrapped up a good week of Galaxy Force toys (Crosswise is the Cybertron toy, but I wanted him with his partner). There really are some awesome toys in this lineup

I love the Galaxy Force colors of that Prime, the Black and Red really work well together

Red is my favorite color, and red and black my favorite color scheme. It is fantastic

I've been packing, and I shined some light on my favorites from this series. Thought I'd share them with you.

This mold rocks as Ratbat. I love the lightpiping.






Ice Dragon!


everything about Towline is dorky and neat


weewoo


My favorite Energon toy


another figure that isn't very good but I adore


Probably my favorite UT toy


The leaders



My grail


Brute mode!





My coworker did this and I love it


Planets


And tank jet


A pair of beautiful pair of homages

Oh, forgot this massive brute too. He's fun

Wow, D-Max, you geeked out on UT this week!

I love that Ratbat figure, it's 1 of my non-G1-representing-G1 favorites.

Also, do you have all the other versions of the Unicron and Primus molds?

Rodimus Prime wrote:Also, do you have all the other versions of the Unicron and Primus molds?

Nope, those are the only 2 I have of those molds

Seeing that green Unicron made me think of something. These questions are for everyone.

Out of all the decos that figure got, which is your favorite and why?

Which is most accurate to G1 Unicron, 2010 or the 25th anniversary version?

The 2 planet decos I own are my favorites of each. I love them a lot. The green is so sweet and rich

The Unicron Trilogy had a lot of good figures in it. Congrats on snagging so many, D-Max!

Considering what even Hasbro Leobreaker goes for complete on eBay, definitely a good snag.

I can brag about doing better re: Noisemaze/Sideways tho; I managed to snag a Korean Galaxy Force one (same as this) on eBay for I think $20? back around 2010.

Overcracker, you're forgetting that these are the Takara version (specifically the Korean release, but still). That means they're imports, which as it always has means BBTS had to pay the freight themselves, which would have made them pricier than the Hasbro shelf rates ($20 for Leobreaker - damn were we spoiled - and $10 for Sideways) to start with; the rest of the increase is "appreciation".

Understandable that Rodimus would mix them up; there's a reason I refer to the Supreme-class version as "The official OS KO".





Really satisfied that I finally have Cybertron Galvatron. The deco looks even more awesome in person. Expect more pics later, need to give my computer a rest.

Finally those further pics, comparing him with Megs:




Comparisons with G1 Megatron coming when I've the time to dig him out, and I'll try to take some action shots then too.

I used to have both of them as well, they look great. I wonder if either of them will get an update in Legacy like Prime did in Siege?

Also, in jet mode, aren't the rear spoilers supposed to be folded down to simulate rear wings?

To my knowledge they're meant to be like that in both modes. Well, technically they should be more vertical but also angled inward towards the engines in both modes (going by the show), but the clearance with tucking the lower leg/rear lower thruster panels is a bit awkward and the ankle ratchets don't want to cooperate with that.

Seeing your Megatron reminds me that mine is only a small rear fin away from actually being complete. I got the key, it came with the missiles, and I found 1 fin. I just need that 1 last part
