California Transformers Sightings

Still nothing TF related in West Dublin.

Next week we'll have a bunch of new Figuarts, Monsterarts and Robot Spirits figures though

Not to mention the 3 IDW books next week...

In sightings news: YAWN can someone wake me up when Beast Hunters is over? In 6+ years of collecting I've never been so bored by what's coming out; even the movie lines at least have something interesting mixed in. Only 3 BH figures are on my list, and they aren't really part of the "BH" sub-plot and/or design aesthetic: both Smokescreens (Legion, Deluxe - but that armor is going in the trash or somewhere out of sight) and Legion Airachnid.

With the unexplainable exception of Dinobots and Insecticons, I do not understand Beastformers at all. Why they transform into beasts, why other transformers need to hunt them, all of it is beyond me.

I'll make Beast Hunters more clear for you. You get to save money and spend it on MP Soundwave and Acid Storm when they times comes

I've no interested in BH either besides Smokescreen. Even the FOC stuff is meh to me. Just need Grimlock and maybe if Astrotrain looks nice, I might get him. Otherwise, I'd rather have more Classics style figures.

Right there with you bud, on both counts! I really don't mind the "break" that BH is presenting, and as you said most FOC stuf is meh. But I did get Ultra Magnus and he's pretty fun to mess around with, the sword alone is pretty awesome.

Also gotta save up for some 3rd party stuff like Fansproject Menasor... Anyone preordering the FX-02 and 03 figures that BBTS put up today? I'm waiting for now.

I just wanted Not-Chromedome, but that's gonna wait. I at least have Hardhead with custom head at least.

Bah, did you read how excited I was when Kickback came? Well he had an assembly error on his leg AND he was missing his instructions. Now I have to return him to Amazon.

Shark Jumper · 01-30-2013, 06:14 PM

gah, that sucks. I hope you can get replacements.

Thanks. I shipped him back and they gave me credit, and thankfully he was instock at that time so I bought him. I'm praying that the other one doesn't have this issue.
