The more I think about FT Reflector, the more I REALLY want him... them... it... Need to see an alt mode first, but kudos to FT for actually doing something different.... aside from PE... and that other one.....

Still, whenever Reflector comes out, he will probably be about 2 months ahead of Scoria toy deco.

Sounds about right. Two days from Hong Kong to the UK... where it sits for a week doing nothing.

 

I have the same three, I'm sticking at three personally, though I do now have MP Soundwave, Soundblaster (*2) and YOTG Soundwave so that's taken over here...

 

Feck all of you. My Magnus is STILL in a fridge by himself at AE wondering where all his mates went. C U lot Next Tuesday's, probably.

G2 Tinsel Bee. Ordered. Broke my duck for the year in a "where da Fuk?!" Way.

FT dicking around with the running order means a) they need to cash in on a design sharpish because they've had the nod on tectonic plates at TT shifting and Relector or Percy are nigh or b) Scoria ran them out of readies and they need to rack up some preorder dosh or else.

I mean no WAY would they piss their Dino-customers about for anything less. Right? 

Im actually hoping no heavy pres go up until next month anyway.

24 hours from Robits.........

 

Or they are just stepping it up and releasing alongside the dinos. April/May is Sever released date too isn't it?

They hinted at Reflector ages ago so it's not unexpected. I must admit I'm already thinking about flipping Star Saber, he's gonna be like a sore thumb.

 

OK, so I just found out I passed my Christmas exams so FUCK yea!!!

I treated myself by going to the nearest TRU at lunch, and scanned the aisles only to find everything I wanted..I found..

TF RID Deluxes, and the one step shite. Lots and lots of Strongarm, defo gna be a shelf warmer, I don't get why we don't have more numbers of the more appealing figures (i,e, Grimlock). There were only 2 of Grimmy, a few Bumblebees, and a few of that wolf guy too.

Combiner wars voyagers were in, 2 of Optimus, and I picked up the only Silverbolt I could see. They had 2 of each of the wave 1 combiner wars limbs.
Prices were as normal = £14.99 -15.99 for deluxes, and £22.99 for voyagers, nothing on offer except for the AOE stuff.

(Sadly the MP stuff has all disappeared..)

Happy hunting!

 

Yeah the impression I got was that it isn't interfering with Sever at least.

Famous last words.

Very exciting releases, come oooon Powered Convoy coloured MP-22...

All the best

Or c) they are not worried about competition from Bullsfire, and at the rate Giga are currently moving and the backlash on their two lineart pictures, FT think that they can get four figures before Giga get a second and they dont feel any pressure from the competition any more. And that they have the MP Dinos sewn up.

Kind of ironic that the day that we get a rumoured release of MP10 and a repaint of Bee from TT, FT give up two brand new characters.

 

They would be mistaken then. And it won't interfere with their release schedule? As that currently stands at 1 Bot a year maybe not.......but I'll bet a nut it does. And I need them nuts as a full set............. 

G2 Bee gets half a dustbin on his back in place of the exo-suit? Not cool for value.

 

That's what I'm holding out for too - I went all in on Stack and the SXS head, so he's my IDW-style MP Magnus. I'll experience the official Tubby Magnus through his recolour.

 

Good point.

That's a dangerous bet if they decide to use a second factory for other releases.......

 

Try collecting.

Plus considering how half-shit Scoria turned out I'd be VERY worried about them ramping up production across two facilities.

But we'll see. They've told their friends everything is funky-dory. So it must be.

 

  well at least you can't be disappointed with this stance.

It certainly looks - at this very early stage - that Soar is a QC improvement over Scoria, although not exactly free of issues.

Oh dude, had you come to Pube yesterday, you would have seen a very special item indeed. I think Steve-o took a pic?

All the best

Scoria isn't their latest release. Their latest release suggests they are listening. Besides, if it was a second factory it would have nothing to do with the other release so there would be no speeding up as they'd be running in tandem.

We'll see in due course. Your balls might be safe yet.

 

getting the lube ready

Whatevs.

Warbo Afterburner has turned up at home. 22 hours and I will be able to bask in his magnificence. If he has any.

 

Same for me buddy. Lubed up to my ribcage, reckon they'll be going deep.

 

I agree about Perceptor's face. Looks a bit too Andy Wildman for my liking.

Won't stop me buying him though  

 

If they are all marked at 2800yen this is odd as it's pennies over the threshold. It's gonna be one of those really annoying £13.50 fees and 69p VAT jobs I bet.

 

this is for skywarp from robot kingdom got my magnus last week from hlj no charges  

 

Ah ok. There is still hope!
