"Special" maybe but not like TFCC. Those figures had way better paintjobs (as far as I remember).

Not sure if it's just me, or does HP not really seem to be functioning well at all? For the past 2 days I can get the main page, but once I click any links, or try to search anything, it just sits and spins...

I don't think a male Transformer has ever raped anyone, so I guess our species is generally behind Cybertronians on the evolutionary curve, at least where prom night is concerned.

Transformers Generations Selects WFC-GS05 Deluxe Lancer. Available NOW!

The shipping is nearly double the cost of the figure.

I realize I may have entered a "Grumpy Old Man" stage in life, but I really miss being able to find stuff at an actual store. Having to order everything online sucks a lot of the fun out of collecting.

Yeah if you’re a crackhead. I used the $13 shipping which is the same as say bbts or tfsource

As did I, but that doesn't make flushing $13 away any more appealing.

So you mean "nearly HALF the cost", not double

@Randomhero No need to get offensive

I’m using TFCC in the sense that those were online only. You couldn’t go to a chain and pick one up

Actually, with Hasbro's piss-poor distribution, it's slowly getting to the point where we're going to have to start ordering the regular releases just like the exclusives. Wave 3 Seige figures are supposedly out, but the only things on the pegs around here are the same handful of Wave 1 figures that rolled out in the beginning.

Um, what? BBTS has $4 flat rate shipping on anything, it is one of their main sales points and shown prominently on their main page.

Yeah, but then they add the sales tax of the items on top of the shipping cost, upping it way above a mere $4.

Was that official? I thought Fanstoys said someone had taken the photo without permission. Regardless there should probably be the word officially in there somewhere, else we are counting fan fiction, in which case...well it's not pleasent.

It's a Photoshopped effect.

No no, her deco is a little off.

The dark purple of her torso ought to be more like the lighter purple of her thighs, fists, and face, while her thighs, fists, and face themselves ought to be white/silver/pale lilac/whatever.

That's the wiser thing to do if getting it asap is not a priority. I forget, were you around during the CW Groove debacle. While we never knew what happened, that toy was released in decent numbers waaayyyyyyyyyyyy later than anticipated. Robot Kingdom was the first place to have preorders and enough people jumped on it for it to be sold out at that retailer. Many waited for a stateside release, and waited and waited. It being a combiner limb (as this one) gets lots of people antsy since you have an imcomplete combiner staring at you begging you to finish it. Months later, Amazon got a very sporadic release of some and it was like winning the lottery if you were able to get one. prices rose on e-bay and those who had already ordered from Robot Kingdom and had him were spared of any dread of not getting him at a decent price and had him months ago.
Eventually, Groove did become available in wide enough numbers to even be discounted, but that was a year later, when many had moved onto other things. Still everyone who wanted groove at a decent price did get one, but they had to wait a long time and go through the worries of never getting him.

I don't know if people remember feeling that agony. But maybe thats why people don't mind spending 10$ more in total cost to get this figure. It's not a high price to pay to be spared of any worries of when it will be available for cheaper cost for people outside china. Also, this being an exclusive means people outside the states are likely not to get it or cheaper elsewhere since that shipping is what it would cost from any stateside retailer, but I know that doesnt concern you. Just saying how that 10$ extra may not be as significant to others.

That's kind of what I was thinking. She sort of has a surcoat, or long jerkin design thing going on in the Sunbow grabs. I think this person was trying to recreate that. Maybe?

Edit: Or they were just being weird.

I like to put the roof / tail behind them sometimes to mix it up a bit, but it limits leg articulation a lot. For example:


Jeez, I'm a one pose kinda guy

If you angle the armature for the canopy/"coattails" back a bit you get full articulation whilst still enjoying the reduced backpack/more elegant kibble. Also, Greenlight looks nice in that pic- I was worried she'd look overly simple to Moonracer but she's actually quite distinct.

Oh, and do I spy a BeastBox (the toyline, not the cassetticon) down there?

Black Hat wrote:And yeah, Greenlight actually looks wonderful. I really hope I can track her down (along with the other members of the team), they look like they'll make a wonderful set- I'm envisioning them as kinda Sailor Senshi robots, what with being very similar in design/"costume" with different colours and minor details.

I don't know much about Sailor Senshi (Sailor Moon I'm guessing? (also clueless)). Do they have elemental powers? Elita's team are colored as such. We already have fire, water, earth and now with Lancer - the power of skittles!

Add some Battle Beast rubsigns and we'd be good to go

If you know your planets (plus Pluto, but excluding Earth) you know your Sailor Senshi.

They do have that mahou shoujo (magical girl) mojo going, or an all-female Sentai or Power Rangers team. Megatronia did have the "4 Guard" (based on the 4 of a Kind hand, or "4 Card").

If Novastar, Moonracer and Greenlight are fire, water and eaeth respectively, Lancer defualts to wind/air unless you decide to align her with the supreme being

Good call on Megatronia. I'm not sure about Takara, but Hasbro doesn't ever seem to go for that elemental alignment kinda stuff with their Transformers releases, which is a real shame.

I do not know my planets, but I know Captain Planet and I always call Ma-Ti because love conquers all
