    Anyone bought these xipoo lego tf knock offs from Amazon? I'd have pulled the trigger if they weren't like $50 far too much for tiny fake lego.

    I love the names used here "Hornet" I see what you did there. "Drifting" very clever and "Inspector"? Haha what about "Poison Dart" and "Guardian"

    I can tell these were all made to cash in on tf4 so I can almost recognise all of them but who the hell is "Forbid"? Did they really not feel like having a go at Lockdown?

    The Rollbar is sort of my favourite of the bunch. Nice firm joints, thick chunky plastic, a slightly simpler design than any of the others in the line, pretty smooth transformation, nothing rage-inducing. He's solid and fun. The only complaint I have about it at all is that he doesn't have ankle-tilts like most of the others in the line do.

    He's also the only one of the TFC Throttlebot designs that really stays true to the G1 style, so I like that too.

    Has anyone heard news about WeiJiang OS Throttlebot Freeway (the blue one)? The last I saw was that it was delayed until early June, but nothing since then. Is this still happening for sure?

    $10 deposit and an expected $40 pricetag? How big is this thing supposed to be?

    Jeez. They are normally around $12 for 1:1. That's why I never buy from Tfdirect.

    Would anyone know if KBB is planning to release more MP-10Vs?

    They released normal Prime and Magnus. I was hoping they'd release an EVA, Nemesis and SG Prime too.

    Bunch of reviews up lately.





    these are the two kos out now, with more from other companies on the way. Personally I'd wait for the other releases as the upcoming one is supposed to have improvements, and not just be a replica.

    Unless you want a cheap statue, i'd avoid the straight up vanilla KO (top video) as its a bit crap. The other one (THF / toyhouse) is much better and comes with more tapes.

    So...I was about to take Civic Prime out for a spin when this guy showed up. He just got back from McDonald's and found out they discontinued the Grand Mac...Let's just say he was not happy.

    Thanks for the info. Would you happen to know the names of the company that plan to release the improved version as well as the others you've heard are coming?

    Yeah I'm waiting on the new ko Soundwave before I decide. I want the tapes, but I already have the Buzzsaw/ Rumble ko's and they are kinda crappy.
