No pictures, sorry.

Today I found Siege Springer on the shelf at Target. Only when I took it to the checkout it errored out with a Do Not Sell until 7/28/19.

Needless to say they wouldn't sell me the figure.

 

That is really dumbass. Not really something uncool but strange. Found Springer this morning. I noticed the box had some damage which is fine since I was going to open him anyway. When I took it up the the register I realized it was open. When I got it home I took him out of the box. All the accessories where still there. Nothing missing. I am guess someone got pissed off with it and returned it. I have transformed him a few time already. I love him. This one will replace the thrilling 30th .

 

Well this day just got dandy. This is how Ectotron was delivered to me. The Battlemasters from Amazon also arrived dinged up. The battlemasters I'm fine with but Ectotron irritates me.

 

That’s awful. Mine was dented on one end, but fortunately it was on the air bag side and the boxes were spared.

 

Wow. Poor Rumble.   

 

Randomly got Chromia down to transform her when....

Not even sure how it happened. It seemed like it was already broke when I pulled it out.

 

That sucks, man. I really hope designers get over this, "painted clear plastic" phase soon.

 

I tried to transform my MP Road Rage a few minutes ago, and this happens:



For some reason, the panel just straight out snaps off once I rotated it for transformation. Even though I got this figure for quite a cheap price, I'm not happy with this at all.

 

Wow, when I worked at Target, if something was actually on shelves by the release date and wasn't a major movie release, it was a cold day in hell.

 

That's pretty much been my experience at Target, both shopping and working there.

 

Optimus has had some better days.

As a side note, I've got some more metal kits I'm willing to sell.

 

Both aren't all that great tbh.

 

Toy vehicle replicas were a mistake.

 

How do they scale transformed?

 

two of the three should be fairly close

 

I dont understand how/why Grapple Is such an obscenely tiny vehicle.

 

Well he does fold up a bit but his robot mode is voyager sized. Though I think what's really happening here is that the Seacons are just big.

 

Today is the day: after 17 years, Armada Side Swipe is finally redeemed.
For all its limitations, ASS was a transformer and also had to deal with an intrusive gimmick.
17 years later, without any line-wide gimmick, we got this:
