Yup, I've bought numerous items from them that were less than $30.

 

Hmm, when I asked one of them about the ko combiners, they said they wouldn't be selling any individual ones, as they don't sell items under a certain price (around 30 dollars, I believe).

 

Or just buy them from Smartlulup or GiftLove on AliExpress for like $14 shipped each?   Unless you collect boxes, I guess.
(They don't have the new ones yet, but that's what they sell the others for.)

TF-Direct has Mindwipe listed, but at $75. I think they duplicated their four-pack of the guys that are already out and forgot to change the price:

I'm glad these guys showed up - I wonder what their focus will be next. I'm guessing it will be MP Knock Offs & their own take on the Technobots.

But for the lower end of the market they have a lot of potential places to go - more upscaled combiners. finishing their AOE Dinobot repaints.
even remoulding & repaint the moulds they have into new Characters like Quake, Krok, Blurr, Arcee and so on.

 

It looks like they replaced the rubbery plastic on Mindwipe with hard plastic.

 

It's hard to tell, but maybe universal hip joints on chromedome. The wave 1 figures added those instead of ball joints.

 

Definitely universal joints. Note the pins in the upper thighs where the ball joints would normally be.

 

Judging by those photos, I think Chromedome has an extra gun? He's shown holding two small guns in bot mode and combined big and small guns in car mode.

Wolfwire's gun is missing from the photos for some reason.

If they replaced rubbery plastic with hard one for Mindwipe, like with Skullcruncher, that'll make positing the faux wings awkward.

Yes. Chromedome has an extra gun.

Yes. Wolfwire is missing his gun.

No. The pliability/flexibility of Hasbro Mindwipe's wings has no bearing on the positioning whatsoever. Hard plastic = much better in every way possible.

 

I hope Wolfewire will still have his cannon and it's just not in the picture.
But it's cool Chromedome has two guns.

 

They just got back to me with that link. If you check, you can select any of the oversized Headmasters, including the new ones. The "pass pack of 3" is, by default, for the original three Headmasters, but you can specify figures for that set in the "comments" section of the order!

I'gonna wait a minute and get em for $10.

 

Sirtoys has Mindwipe for 12 dollars, but the shipping is separate, and costs around 25 dollars, in total, to ship from China to Japan. At TFdirect, the increased price and "free" shipping us essentially the combined price. I think TFdirect is still cheaper, including shipping?

 

All three of the new ones are on TF-Direct now, along with this note:

Chromedome & Weirdwolf is preorder item, not release yet.
ETA: Oct 2018

 

 

GiftLove on AE has Mindwipe for $14.50 shipped. Ordered!

Aliexpress.com - Online Shopping for Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Toys & Sports, Automobiles and more

They also have CD & WW on that page, but grayed out. I messaged them to get an ETA (even thought TF-D says October, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask).

 

Sucks.

 

I wonder what they were making that made them so late on soliciting them for sale before now.

 

I'd buy these for that reason if no other. I loathe rubbery plastic in TFs.

 

Hamfists broke Weirdwolf.

 

i don't think the cockpit hinge breakage is a result of hamfist.
