I decided to go back to when Optimus and Rampage were first seen in package. Those were when some had early access or when Entertainment Earth had them in stock. That was on February 2nd. Give you any ideas on Long Haul?

 

Well how soon did we start seeing BB Prime and Rampage before April? A few months believe so fingers crossed we can start seeing sightings on target etc soon I hope.

 

I looked at the first in hand pictures from when people bought them from early stores like Entertainment Earth and that was like the first week of February. Then it started showing at US retail around early March.

 

That's more or less what I was trying to look for. So if we saw them early March in stores, that means Long Haul and his wave will likely be expected to come either mid April or early May at best. Currently with BB Prime and Rampage in the wild since early March, I think they feel a little too recent and there are people, myself included, who haven't found them yet.

 

I'm considering TLK WWII Bumblebee. Is it more fiddle than SS Camaro Bumblebee.

 

In my opinion, not really. His arms don't peg into the chest well though, which is a bummer. He's super loose at the hips so watch out for that. His backpack and kibble also gets in the way of doing some amazing poses. Still a fine figure.

 

Thanks for your feedback, I'll definitely keep it in mind when I see it again.

 

Damn it, I got really excited because I thought you found him at a discount store, like Snarl was recently.

The scale between the two is definitely off (Grimlock was huge in the movie), but he still looks great.

Also, if you get the first run of the DNA kit, it comes with a bonus tongue for his dino mode, which you wouldn't think would make much of a difference, but it really adds that extra, je ne sais quoi.

"I hate you too, son."

 

I've got to say, the Weijiang oversized Blackout is one of my best purchases. The silver and copper accents bring out how amazing and detailed the original design was. Wish Hasbro/Takara would release stuff like this in the first place.

The under carriage filler piece that turns into a Scorponok diorama is a stroke of genius!

 

"I hate you more dad"
"I hate you the most, son"

So cute

Been able to spend time with Cogman, he's surprising me with his posing range. Definitely those wrist hinges help to his sword stances so well. Got a copy with some lose shoulder and hip joints, fixed with some future polish.

 

Now this is the kind of parenting I'm super jealous of.

 

This is the Studio Series one right? I have mine coming soon so it's not great to hear that, but at least I'll be able to fix it.

 

Mhmm, the Studio Series 39 Cogman.
