    exclusive to retailers that cater to oversea/North America. chinese retailers that are selling locally in the asian markets did not get sets with energon cubes. i confirmed this when looking to buy set A for around $60, while the overseas set all were around $75-80+ (ShowZ/TerryTFSclub/etc), which basically meant you were paying $15-20 for the set of 6 energon cubes.

    Just placed my order for the Hook/Longhaul set and the combiner parts from Showzstore and have the Scrapper/MM set on the way from Terry!

    I really didn’t think we’d be finishing this set as early as September.

    To my mind, this set won’t be finished until we get the replacement leg parts for sets B & C.

    My Mixmaster/Scrapper sets came in this week (for once ShowZ shipped a pair of something I ordered together instead of splitting sets) and I still really like these. Transformation's still fun without being annoyingly complex or too simple. I've already paid for my pair of the third set and the torso, so it'll be nice to have this complete (albeit much sooner than I was expecting, unfortunately for my wallet lol).

    Can't wait for a G2 and hopefully Diaclone set.

    if anyone fucked up their scrapper chest like I did with my dumb ham hands I figured out an easy fix.
    Stole the screw from here.

    Popped the crap pin out and popped it in here.

    Or just BE CAREFUL with that slider.

    Do we happen to know if the combiner part is shipping at the same time as the last set or will it follow a few weeks later?

    Given some time with Set B. I think people have freaked out a bit to much on them. Mixmasters legs are a hollow mess and looks like junk from the back but that’s it. That’s the only flaws to this duo pack. Scrapper is great I don’t think his legs are bad. There will be no hollow gaps in Devastator mode and that’s what matters most.

    But we know the fixes are coming so they can only go up from this point and they are far from rock bottom.

    I see I'm not the only one with a defective Scrapper. I think newage used a low quality pin that can't handle the stress of being pushed up. They should have used a thicker pin or a screw.

    Hey so I haven't transformed my set A or B yet, what is the problem here? And are there things to watch out for with the others?

    Scrapper may have QC issues on the chest when you push it up during transformation. I think the pin on my copy's chest was defective from the start as it's way too short to stay in and it just comes off.

    The pin that holds the chest in that's used to slide up for transformation is really thin. Could be damaged while sliding it. Mine was really tight on the first transformation and popped off first time.

    I'm a little surprised we still haven't seen any more details about repaints. There was the toy-deco tease, and a photo of some sort of a yellow repaint (I think it was based on a European release, yellow with some grey parts?), but not really any more official photos, or any more news on some of the other decos that were hinted at (which I think were Shattered Glass and clear plastic, right?)

    They just crammed out a whole Devastator in a couple months. We’re used to seeing all the decos right away with NA, but this is six bots instead of the usual one. They’re coming man, patience.

    Edit: plus they had to rework the legs on multiple bots to cover the gaps.

    I don’t know if anyone posted this yet, but you can get the whole set from Terry for $240, including the exoskeleton.

    [IN STOCK SOON] NewAge Toys NA H29/H30/H31/H32/H33/H34/H34P Hephaestus full set of 6

    that’s a good deal for the whole set, $60 cheaper than buying each set individually from him.

    *sigh* still patiently holding out for the yellow or EX, or other deco with nicer/better paint apps. :(
