Am I being silly thinking that with a few little tweaks (or even just a different head) that Blur mould would work well for Arcee etc? Would clear up he backpack/surfboard and minus the shell mode...

 

Thrust is the new Bluestreak.

 

Notice the translucent neck on grimmy on the back of the box, but solid yellow on the separate render. There's definitely room for toy deco shenanigans.

 

I got a Runabout preorder (paid in full) through ID Toys and left it at that. Looks like SAF is a better site with cheaper prices but I can't be arsed going back and cancelling now  

 

Maaan, that took a while. Went with ID for Grimlock, Blurr, Hot Rod, Scourge, Kup and Jazz, another expensive round for February..

 

So... no UK thrust?

 

It's funny that they mentioned not having the actual toy on hand in the livestream because they were still finalising the deco.

 

Ground out a Runabout on ID, I dunno if it helps making sure you're logged into your account before 5pm but that's wot I dun, and it worked...eventually.

 
I think if we're getting the shaft on Thrust then I'll roll the dice on a later Takara release, maybe via HLJ because...

 

are we thinkin most of these ss86 figures are gonna turn up in local retailers?

Fuck it. Closed the page on ID - still no checkout stage - and mercifully found it all on SAF and did MuckAbout, Grim, Roddy and Jazz there. No fuss, no hassle.

The others can wait to next payday.

Fucking Thrust wanting to be the next Dirge I see..........

 

Yes they will be in Smyths like normal Studio Series

 

They didn't answer the question, they altered it entirely!

WHERE'S THRUST?!

 

Agreed, was tempted to put an order with SAF with them being cheaper and cancel IDT one, but it's too much of a faf. I will be keeping an eye on them for Thrust however.

 

Just preordered all the SS figures on Star Action Figures - thanks for the pointer. I'm now poor as well!

 

"Exclusives are an hoax ! Those fake news antifa retailers I say lock them up ! People around me keep telling how good I am at pre-ordering stuff. The greatest they've seen they say !
POTP Jazz is the only Jazz !"

 

February is going to be expensive what with all of SS86 and Diaclone battle convoy to pay for  

oh and perfect time to peddle an old photo, me thinks...

 

Cheers Chris.

That’s Runabout sorted via C&C. They were quick getting ER Bluey to me.

None of that faffing on the IDT site which I still cannot access.

 

Oh boy, I'm so happy with those reveals. Pre-orders placed at Star Action Figures. Now come on Thrust, where are you ?

 

Runabout ordered painlessly from SAF. Waiting to see what hoops need jumping through to secure a Thrust...

So we'd all kind of guessed Thrust would be an exclusive already but really? Of the 6 seekers, only Starscream has seen a regular release in Earthrise. That is poor.

I'm holding off on ordering any of the SS stuff as I'm assuming they will turn up at retail in Smyths at some point. I'd also like to see some of the other Dino's before committing to Grimmy.
