I'm a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however, I would have to say that there are those who may certainly disagree. Transformers just about fly off of the shelves of my Walmart. Just as soon as a new wave hits, I try to pick up everything I"m interested in because within a few days there's not much left. I don't know if it's the collectors or the parents, but somebody's buying.

 

... Lot of butt shots in this gallery.

Wonder what the articulation of the Minicon combiner would be like.

 

The best part about this latest news post is that reviewers are getting their pre-release figures shipped to them which means cool reviews are just around the corner!!!

 

Soo can't wait to get the takara version of armada starcsream

 

Everyone has different anecdotal experiences. Whatever data Hasbro or Walmart collects on Transformers sales, they aren't sharing.

Therefore we should all acknowledge that the certainly level of any statement we write or read on this board about the global sales of Transformers is very very low.

 

"Windshear is a fembot" - Yeah

"Runway is her gay male friend?" - Not gay, at worst a Robisexual if anything at all =P

 

Can't decide which road to take: get the old armada toy with better size and colors, and hope I can improve the articulation? Or get the much better articulated generations, paint it up, and deal with the size? Hmmm…

 

Every time I see the Minicons I want them more and more.

 

Not to mention we have to consider long term how these figures will hold up over time now. Hasbro not only is hollowing out figures to the point of nonsense but now they are trying any way they can to not use pins where needed. They are depending on friction joints and clip on joints to hold things together. The latest victim are the hand swivels. No more pins. Just friction. Pop goes the fist and do you find it? Ugh.

 

The Starscream mold looks really well done, but he's a sea of red. Perhaps the Armada toy is still the best choice, but this one here is mine as I don't own the Armada figure. Centuritron is cool, but I'm just not interested in him.

 

as a figure, starscream is starting to grow on me, I'll probably end up repurposing him as someone else, as I'm not really a fan of the character, but I am starting to like the figure.

 

is it just me or does anyone else think that his shade of red is "off"? Based on his appearance in the comics and the original promotional images, it should be a darker shade of red. This looks more orange than red to me...

 

An orange, McDonald's size/quality Armada Starscream is a huge pass for me. Please don't let the Masterpiece line end anytime soon.

 

Just can't wait to see how is the paint apps will be for the takara version of armada starcsream....

 

Just purchased the Minicons and Starscream from my local comic book store. Wanted to save one for christmas but may open them both now as I can't decide which one i'd save!

 

remold

Please Has/tak, for the remolds etc, use this starscream mold, remove the shoulder guns, make a new head and use it for the G2, Robot Masters & Machine Wars jets. Here you can make like 20 figures in the classics/generations for the next 3 years... Please Please.

 

Takara is definitely going to bring out a proper red colour scheme for Gen. Armada Starscream for sure. Passing on him till their's is announced. Also, loving the Decepticon 3 bot combiner. Possibly the only kind of gestalt I'm considering buying.
