    It may be worth it to try translating as many symbols as we can to see if it's not jumbled across all 6 figures.

    Sorry to quote you pal, but I wanted to ask once again: Is there a way to store the combiner kibble in vehicle and single robot mode? Thanks in advance! :)

    Unfortunately, there is no real way of storing/hiding/incorporating the combiner kibble while in vehicle or robot mode. Unlike the previous combiner figures, the combiner kibble for Victorion have no secondary feature -- they don't transform into guns or cannons. Like Victorion's hands, always look like hands. And her feet are probably twice the size of regular combiner feet -- so trying to find a place to store or hide it might be difficult -- I believe Pyra Magna has a few exposed 5mm ports on the crane portion of her vehicle mode -- so it might be possible to plug them into there.

    Besides the stumpy looking legs I like it!
    Who's making a leg extension kit eh? Eh??
    I'll be getting it but ever so anxious to get a PE kit to fix things.

    Probably a different Cybertronian. Aren't there several? I'm sure not all of them are the same.
    Now that's an idea I can get behind.
    Doesn't matter to me; I'm going PE.

    Lame. Then Computron's will probably be like that as well. I would've thought they could incorporate SOME secondary mode since they don't have to be hands AND feet.

    Good enough Hasbro. The green could have been brighter, but I'm not mad anymore. You toned down the red, and I'll take it.

    Come on retailers. Give us those pre orders. The set is obviously done. No point in waiting anymore.

    Retailer's don't determine it. Hastak does. Until they confirm that they're shipping it over, sites can't do anything.

    I wonder why Hastak is delaying this then. I see no reason to. Other then possible QC check last minute or something added last minute.

    It's clearly QC or trying to get an all-around release date for all stores.

    Are there any big upcoming toy-shows this or next month? They may be wanting to sell her there first.

    Hmmmmm so much Meh on this one for me. Was hoping it would maybe entice me to see finished shots, but I need my Autobot women to be more caricature-ishly feminine...

    The sword is the only redeeming part of this set for me.

    Not a fan of chest pieces like blackjack and groove to be honest. Hasbro did great with powerglide as a sort of target master weapon gimmick.

    The colors could have been better. Hopefully she gets a better iteration in 5-10 years and not being just repaints.

    I suppose you're not the fan of Strongarm then?

    If so, YOU ARE UNDER ARSET!

    Hasbro has been very stingy with their solicits lately. Not just Transformers, in some cases Marvel Legends are hitting big box stores before online retailers are even allowed to list pre-orders.

    Not sure, my point is just that they have pre-order embargos that run up very close to actual release.
