    Maybe they'll put CW joints on the KO that we can cannibalize

    Had a couple questions regarding what the wheel connectors can do in combined mode so I made a follow-up video. This is only if you want your Liokaiser to exchange any knee bend for maximum stability. My 3D printer's busy printing out parts for orders if you're wondering what that whirring in the background is. Lol.

    Hello to all. Yesterday I received sealed new from China, the central body of Liokaiser, Cerberus, but it is devoid of the two shoot red missiles that are on the legs, there are not even in the box. How can I do?
    I attach the photo of what has arrived to me.

    There are supposed to be red missile pods on the side of his legs.

    I'd email your seller and ask him about the missing parts.

    sorry, it arrived on Tuesday, new sealed by a Shanghai seller.
    I opened it and noticed the small missing guns.
    I have highlighted them now.
    I wrote to the seller, but Cerberus was sealed on the box,
    I do not know what fault can have the seller

    The seller's probably going to tell you to contact TFC Toys directly. Goodluck getting them to reply though. They never have with me.

    A shame.

    I still haven't decided if I want to get it, or continue with Project Lion's Den.

    again hello to everybody.
    finally I have my Liokaiser Hades complete, apart from the small problem already mentioned.
    at the moment he stands perfectly upright, handsome straight even with the big cannon in his hand.
    I put my hands clawed that I think are nicer.
    I saw in the previous posts of a boy, ShadowOfSilver, who put thicknesses behind the joints of the knees: I also put some thicknesses from half a centimeter and actually it is still much more stable.
    for the rest I have no other problem.
    I am very happy, I can put the spear on him and it would be nice to have the stickers.

    Anyone notice this set's price on BBTS goes up by $50 now? (Before was $250 now it's $300), and in pre-order status.
    It seems more people are buying this now, probably because no other 3rd parties commit to do another Liokaiser and the Hasbro one sucks.

    Odd. Yeah I got my set a couple months ago and then it went up in price shortly after. I think it's odd that the individual figures went pre-order. Another run maybe?

    I'm Italian and I feel lucky, 4 Breastforce I bought them used here in Italy at 49€ each, then the last 2 from a Chinese seller on ebay at 70$ including shipping! all at 315€ for me.
    I have not looked in other sites, because already get something in Italy is expensive

    I honestly think the Hasbro one is extremely good. Especially since unlike this one, It can actually take a knee and pose more than standing straight up.

    I understand each to his own, but the Hasbro one is nothing but a cut cost repaint. I have CW other sets like superion, Menasor, bruticus, but I won't consider Liokaiser, simply because Liokaiser should be 6 members, not 5.
    Just image, no matter how good the articulation is, can you call a Devastator with only 5 members, repainted from Defensor or Computron an excellent toy?

    but there are several factors to consider, hasbro liokaiser isnt a repaint, its a retool, each figure got a new head. also the limbs are spot on for the available molds. also there was an exclusive arms micron that hadnt been released in america. also it wasnt a hasbro character, so really we were lucky to get a liokaiser at all. also there have been a few devastators that were only 4 members (a repaint with no retooling) or 5 members (energon) so yes a 5 member devastator repainted from appropriate molds could still be a good toy

    That's why those Devastator with 4 or 5 members are not properly.

    you didnt ask about being a proper update, you asked if they could be considered a good toy, the cw liokaiser is good for what it is, a 5 bot combiner that is the first hasbro release of liokaiser.

    Yes. I can. I had no problem calling everyone devastation devastation or the Car Robots construction combiner in Devvy colors Devastator. And I certainly can call a combiner who can kneel, take a knee, has great articulation and great individual bots a great Liokaiser especially when I compare it to one that is more or less a brick from The waist down. It's called objectivity.

    I just feel there are so many repaints of CW molds (the base mold is probably just 7 or 8 different ones), so I don't want to add another "repaint/remold" into my collection...
