Sucks about Quickswitch, that means hes literally just a repaint(other then the new Titan master obviously) right? pretty lame.
Found this set Friday-- My store had three. I'm thankful that the guy who got there before me left two for his fellow collectors, and I did the same. I love this set, despite it's flaws. Sloppy paint apps (especially on faces). And those sticker! I'm actually usually okay with stickers but Hasbro needs to to fix this problem. The stickers on Prime seriously look like my son put them on. Nautica is cool-- though I know nothing about her and already own two copies of the mold. The color scheme on Quickswitch just oozes nostalgia for me, which is wierd because I never owned the toy or even knew about him until I was an adult. I never knew I loved Lazer Prime until recently when I saw Fans Hobby's upcoming release, and this guy is a great version of the character. Rodimus is cool-- I with they'd paint all of the Titan Masters. Even one paint app brings these little guys to life. Fastclash is a nice little bonus, but a tad boring. Of the 4 clones I would have preferred any of the other 3 over him. I'm really looking forward to more of these sets. I'm not sure if I'll try to get the bbts set or not-- I really only want Tidal Wave and Cloudraker. If anyone wants to work out a trade for Nautica and possibly Fastclash, let me know...
Nautica and Fastclash are the only two I want out of this set. I'd be interested in those two if you feel like parting with them.
So we have molding errors, packaging errors, sticker errors, and now assembly errors. Hey Takara, are you fuckers paying attention? You should be, because all this is your fault.
I found a set this morning, last one at the TRU I go to occasionally. The set is cool, basically Hasbro doing BotCon toys. I wanted to sell Quickswitch and G2 Prime, but now I'm hesitating since they look good together. We'll see. Happy hunting everyone.
seriously. is there a way to search stock online? my tru sucks at answering phones.... painrace! deathrace with pain instead of death! burn all the roads!
If only Botcon had made the quantity of sets that Hasbro does the price points would've been much easier to swallow. I'm hoping Hascon has plentiful exclusives that are at this price point per item and available on ITS. I guy can dream, right?
Not at the moment but you can call TRU or ask their service desk folks in person to look it up via the item number, which I think is "758111". I think the site will get it eventually.
I'm out of the loop but can anyone tell me if Quickswitch 'exclusive' to this set...as in he won't be available on his own?
At the moment Quickswitch is exclusive to this set. However, while unlikely, an individual release could happen later down the road.
This is reminding me. I got the "Stickerfixer" from Reprolabels/Toyhax a month or so back, but am finding it almost impossible to use. Does anyone have any advice for how to get the liquid flowing properly?
You know, this with some conversion stickers from Reprolabels and a clip-on spoiler from Shapeways wouldn't be half bad IMO.
I guess from the recent posts that I'm the weirdo that loves all the figures in the box set. I had Walgreens Brainstorm and Takara Blurr in my office and thought I'd do a mold-mate picture. I think its interesting that the same mold has given us a Cybertronian space-plane, submarine and race car. I can't think of something like that happening before.
They all look pretty darn good too! It's amazing how Blurr manages to pull off Nautica's alt mode simply through a few extra parts. I would've liked Brainstorm's tail fin on her just to differentiate her a little more, but I'm really happy with how she turned out! Who would've thought Nautica would get an official figure released by Hasbro? It really is an exciting time to be a Transformers fan. Titans Return and Masterpiece G1, BW and Movie all at the same time?
