    1.) That'll work fine. If you want to save some money, dish soap also works.

    2.) Robot Mode

    3.) Yes, move them while applying so the grease/soap can seep into all the teeth. Just apply it with a toothpick or something as equally as small so you don't make a mess.

    Toydojo also has stock but it won’t surprise me if this guy ends up in Cheetors current state going for over double retail on eBay.

    Here people complained that it was too pricey prior to release, then the prices jack up and people are scrambling to get him for the higher prices. Talk about irony.

    Given where the pieces for the faux chest end up in beast-mode, a 3P could do a Code Of Hero set with those pieces remolded to be battle damaged. It wouldn't affect the beast-mode in any major way.

    Agreed- I don’t get it. The figure is going to get a re-release in the next 1-2 years anyway at sale prices. Don’t understand the fear driving people to pay scalper prices

    I can only assume that people were expecting this to sell like shit and then be able to pick it up in the near future at bargain prices because "LUL, nobody cares about Beast Wars!".

    Because they don't want to wait that long to get it. They want it NOW! NOW! NOW!

    I thought it was because Takara's price gouging would lead people not to buy it, as people would put their foot done and he would shelf- warm. I think that's what I temember, it's a long thread.

    Once it was obvious it sold well all that talk went out the window. Now people are afraid thet won't get one or dont want to wait another 2 years for another one.

    And this is why Takara will continue to raise prices. People are so afraid they are willing to pay above the already incredibly high msrp. It’s our fault prices are so high

    For Megatron and Prime, they'll mortgage their houses.

    Slammed my P.O. down for his weapons set immediately at show Z!
    Now I just need to take a pic using the bandoliers and gun I already have when Dinobot finally comes and then it can all go on eBay.

    Probably gonna need to find an American to help me describe the weapon more accurately than just saying ‘1/6 diecast rifle’ though.

    The Rifle and pair of Bandoliers I’ve had for well over a year in preparation for receiving Dinobot.
    Dinobot will not be going on eBay.
    Not ever. No sir.
