@kinggrim02 Now add two redecos of existing sculpts and two straight reissues into each of those waves, and you'll have something that should be a winner for both us and the "squeeze a penny till Abe craps quarters" Hasbro beancounters. Bonus, the four you replace from each wave add all the new sculpts needed for a fifth, which then just needs again two redecos and two reissues.

 

And spotted at retail today:

 

@prime roller If you snagged any, you gotta share the letter codes from your pulls...   What's the typical delay between sightings where you are and first contact in the States?

*GASP!* Are these for real? Any pics? I love this!

 

it isnt real, its just what i want for the toyline

 

Aw, now I'm sad.

They might go nicely with the Ark playset from DOTM, though. I should dig mine out.

 

i already have mine in the ark toy, i can only fit about 6 in there if you remove the cannon and the teleport bay

 

I did the same thing, and it's great. They work way better than the legends/legion classes. Which is sad, because we are probably not getting any other playsets that work as well. Or any at all.  

 

thats why im currently buidling a lockdown ship that can fit all my figures inside

 

does anyone know what paint i can use to paint the tiny turbo changer figures? im planning on making daytrader, galvatron and stinger.

 

Probably any plastic model paint would be fine. I like Vallejo acrylics because they're easy to clean up.

 

so i can use acrylic paint?

 

Don't hold me to this, but I'd bet any acrylic or enamel should be fine. You'll probably want to apply a clearcoat when you're done either way.

 

what do you mean by clear coat? gloss varnish?

 

Any kind of clear lacquer topcoat, whether gloss, semi-gloss or flat. I suggest flat for Starscream and Blackout, gloss or semi for everyone else.

 

is he not called Grindor

 

No.


Did you seriously sign up just so you could bump a thread from last year with this question?

 

And even worse, bump a painful reminder of The One That Got Away... I despair at ever finding that little green guy. Old wound, re-opened...
