we got stinger pretty much kibble free (except the weird ninja star backpack) so bumblebees not too far

 

That feeling when your TF direct order FINALLY shows up on usps tracking after a month of waiting. Gonna finally get my next two KO OS devastator pieces.

 

I love SS Stinger he's one of my favorite SS deluxe but he still has a few issues and I'd honestly want to see how Hasbro handles the same robot mode but different car. Unpopular opinion here I actually don't like the look of Pagani Huayra, I much prefer the 2014 Camaro design. Also, I like the subtle differences between Stinger to Bumblebee's robot modes and I think the design looks better in Bumblebee colors too.

 

So should I just completely say screw it to the TLK Voyager Optimus?

 

I'd hold on to it just in case Knight Prime isn't coming in 2021. Definitely one of the best TLK voyager figures and the only thing holding it back from being a good SS stand-in is that he's too tall next to other characters.

 

Hhh

Hhmmmm interesting. Last thing I'd like to ask if The Fallen and more Dinobots still coming. Idk how we haven't gotten none yet...

 

I definitely think they are coming. It would be weird if Hasbro made a line for the live-action movies and just kinda quit on it halfway through. I know SS doesn't sell as well as Earthrise or Siege but we're 12 waves in and combined with the fact that a lot of SS figures don't really shelf warm in my area, the line is definitely making a profit. The good thing is due to all the rotf and dotm figures Hasbro has been putting out lately AoE and TLK designs are the majority of what's left. Like I've said before it really surprises me that there isn't and SS Fallen yet and I predict he will come out in 2022 and if not then definatly in 2023. There was a recent leak saying that SS86 Swoop may be a thing and I will be really disappointed if G1 dinobots happen before the Bayverse dinobots in the line made mainly for the Bayverse designs. I don't have any insider knowledge so this is all speculation.

 

Pixelmaster says Fallen is in the works. If the details they shared pan out then I'm very excited for the final product.

 

yea the camaro definitely looks better, imo the pagani looks too slim

we’re getting all the g1 dinos in ss86 besides snarl   so yea ss86 gets dinos before us which is bullshit imo

 

I'm really curious how the 2022 movie will be handled in the SS line in that yeah obviously the characters in that movie will be released in the SS line but when will they be released? During 2018 we didn't get too many Bumblebee movie characters while the movie was relevant so will Hasbro try to align the 2022 movie with the toyline? If so then that would mean Hasbro would have to begin work designing the new figures now but that's kinda a bad thing because there's a chance the figures will look like their concept art and not the final version like how SS car Shatter's head was based on her concept design. So I hope they wait a little after the movie comes out to begin pumping out the figures from that movie so they'll be accurate and in the mean time we can get some more sweet Bayverse designs.

I really hope all the SS Bayversre dinos end up being leaders. They were all massive in the movie and I think voyagers would be too small for Slug and Strafe and I want a Strafe with and impressive wingspan and room to put Bumblebee and Stinger on his back.

 

When Studio Series was originally revealed, I planned on only collecting the designs from the Witwicky Trilogy. Then Bumblebee proved itself to be better than AOE and TLK and I decided to collect those designs as well. I kept to my plan of skipping the designs from the Yeager movies as I only picked up SS Cogman and SS 2017 Camaro Bumblebee since they don't count as brand new molds as they were just more widely available repaints of late wave TLK figures and I skipped the SS-15 Bumblebee, SS-19, SS-20, and helicopter Dropkick.

 

What a big claw!

 

I'm an SS completionist. I used to give the Bumblebee designs a little flak for being a little too G1 for me but after seeing SS86 perhaps I've been too harsh to Bumblebee. Since then SS has just been putting out too much good stuff to ignore and I want to see the line succeed so I get everything now.

 

Y you don’t like him?

 

Is SS18 Bumblebee getting a re-release? I was randomly checking the Walmart app, to see what they had in stock, and saw SS18. I checked Brickseek, and to my surprise, it was showing in stock at several locations. I'm leaning towards thinking it's a glitch, since it's showed in stock for a couple of weeks, but I haven't found it on store shelves yet. Asked a couple of associates, but they didn't know anything. But, I can't help wondering if they're planning a secret Christmas release. Check for yourselves:

I did hear a rumor a while ago that some SS figures were getting restocks. Oddly enough the source said WW2 Bumblebee. I'm surprised SS doesn't do more restocks considering how there are a lot of 3 figure waves and it would be easy to make that 4th slot an old restock.

 

Ok, is this discoloration on OS Blackout something I have to be concerned about?

 

I think that he does a poor job at truly reviewing his figures.

I get the sense that all he really wants to do is show off the toy, but then he gets into trying to explain the transformation sequence, but then cuts the videos, and jumps steps. He also doesn't do all that well showing the articulation points of the figures.

I'd be more inclined to respect him as a "reviewer" if he either stuck to either just showing off his figures, or actually reviewing them.

It's a known issue, but the best way to fix that issue is to spray those parts with a sealant... which I have yet to do with my son's copy.  

 

Considering how popular the design is I'm surprised BB Optimus hasn't been repacked yet.

 

How big are those Dinobots? Do they reach up the knee? Very interesting.
