    So I was only planning on snagging tridigger and a waruder suit this paycheck......but I found a battle buffalo at a good price. I technically had a battle buffalo before, but I never got the chance to open it (As I needed to pay rent).
    Also my dumb ass accidentally sent my waruder solider 75 miles out of my way to my parents house (I forgot to update my address, because I am stupid), so I'm stuck waiting until Sunday to get it.
    This week is gonna be fucking awesome.

    If it's a little cheaper than the soldier, then I might be tempted to double dip. A bit of an in between from the suits to the soldiers.

    he appears to me to be soldier sized to a bit taller, definitely more parts at a glance, so probably the same or a bit more than soldier cost.

    Imma buy 2 or 3 for sure. It looks like an excellent counterpart to the triverse mechs

    Same, though I may stick to two and wait for the inevitable repaint.

    I saw a sauce comparison someone did where they matched the center chest pod to a soldier and the new guy is taller. So it more than likely won’t be cheaper than a soldier

    Ya, I definitely feel it’s gonna be bigger than the soldier.

    it’s really too bad the main release seems to be the tan plastic version. Its gonna be expensive to buy multiples of the likely exclusive, darker colored version

    Not sure how I feel about that head. Getting a strange bug version of IDW Blurr from it at this resolution. Everything else is looking pretty stellar. Hoping those are some big missile pods hanging off the back, those could get some uses.

    I absolutely LOVE this new design for the Waruder Legion figures. It’s like one of the original suits got a fantastical upgrade! LOVE IT!!!

    Speaking of waruders, I’ve been fidgeting with my soldiers a bit today and on one of them, the chest has stopped connecting properly.

    One locks in tight and doesn’t move without using the unlock button. But this other one can slide up and down the neck block without restriction - the button doesn’t unlock anything.

    anyone else have this issue before? How’d you fix it?

    That backpack has some tomfuckery going on I know it! It’s a hodgepodge of connectors and adaptors for all the old suits that’s completely hidden to be a jet pack. This might be one of the collect ideas from a the Diaclone designers I’ve seen so far.

    Looks like parts from his legs were taken and connected to his boosters. Theyre missing in the picture of the back view and you can see the gold kneecaps on the backpack.

    really curious
