Exactly.

 

No, its a fun time to be wealthy.

The prices have jacked up 15-20%, and like I say with every increase, my boss doesnt provide pay raises every time Hasbro says its time to pay more.  

More product, higher prices, less purchases from me.

And if ur immune to $23 deluxes (and mind u, thats not a locked MSRP, as in golden days past!), prepare to pay more: Covid shipping is a mess and is costing companies billions. By Xmas, FedEx is raising prices, and so will USPS (most likely). Hasbro can either eat the costs orrrrrrrr.... yeah, raise prices again.

No, the best time to be a collector was years ago, when the toys were affordable and Hasbro wasted time on Aaron Archer's Unicron Trilogy, rather than do what Takara suggested (G1 continued). Im still salty.

 

The only things they’ve codenamed are movie figures and collaborative figures.

Are Shine figures more collabs? Would be odd to have Starscream since they’ve all been new characters so far… (except for the MP GB Optimus one)

 

Please let Knockout be a good representation of my favorite Prime narcissist.

 

They’re not collabs.

 

I believe it was stated that Shine was the codename for the figures that are based on the upcoming Transformers: Rise game that's coming.

 

That’s been mentioned several times in this thread. I can’t even Google it because it brings up rise of the beasts and rise of the dark spark. If it was guessed already, he’d have no reason to keep people guessing with more hints… I would hope.

 

For what it's worth I kinda like the games even if I don't have the brain power to play em

 

Love these characters and I love the designs in the second pic. I'm surprised by how much a straightened out G1 version might resemble IDW Stormbringer OP.

 

Strap in you party poopers. You’re going to get what you wanted. Fingers crossed the hasbro feds don’t show up.

 

Can confirm, someone from here their little bro cleaned me out 2-0 in chess. GGs

The most fantastic and bad-ass Transfomers name is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL HAIL BLACK CONVOY!

 

Using the name “Black Convoy”! That’s awesome! Sooooo much better than Scourge!

 

So Minerva is the first to be released huh

 

Which Cybershark is getting released? The original or the TM?

 

This is relevant to my interests

 

BLACKOUT

 

Thank you! I’ve been watching eBay for these two. Now I can just wait for them at retail.  

 

Walmart's line sounds awesome and it's fortunately usually easy to import (Black Convoy is such a great choice and makes me happy for the current crew at charge).

What's Shine by the way?
