Welcome to the NM boards Gurney!!! Man I need to find windcharger soon, the hunt is killing me... I swear that Ross is going to put me on payroll soon!!!
Hey guys, any opinions? Blazemaster pegs together TIGHTLY if arranged well, and doesn't feel (quite as frustratingly) incomplete in this layout. Nothing that needs to move, isn't pegged in, but I don't have a big enough "image void area" to show his arrangements off very well. Those are the raw images from today, no tripod, forgot to set the date.
Good to see ROTF Blazemaster is getting some love! I love that figure! He is seriously under-appreciated over something that, I believe, is mostly due to the majority of people who own are not able to put him together as he should. If I ever come across Evac, I might pick up him as well! ALSO: still no new DOTM HA Basics on Lohman Target & Walmart. They still carry all the somewhat older stuff.
no, it's "Video Matic" I honestly got very frustrated with "stock transformation" the first time enough I regretted getting him, but I liked the alt mode enough to go "okay, How do I make him worthwhile?!" and figured that final configuration out by the end of RTS, I tried a chicken leg setup at first, but wasn't satisfied with the cockpit halves. now, he's actually quite nice, definitely up to par with the rest of my fliers.
Evac has been popping up, Orio posted about finding a few tuesday. IIRC, you're down south, so maybe you don't have a Fallows, but i'll keep an eye up out here for an extra one. he's fetching a good bit on ebay, suprisingly. and Ell, your pics are getting better, i like the first one with Blazemaster... and i agree, that mold is a bit wonky, but can be fun. and his helicopter mode is sweet!!! has anyone picked up Skyhammer yet? I'm going to tomorrow when i get paid! also, I forgot how much fun Lugnut is! i played with ORIO's months ago (side note: we need to do dinner again) and haven't had the chance until now... he's fun! glad i got him for the price i did, just need to email BBTS now to cancel my case... and find a Grapple somewhere...
That's OK Lumpy. I will just convince my girlfriend that she needs new shoes. She always goes to either Ross or Marshalls (which are next door to each other) to look for them, and, because she has a little addiction towards getting shoes, I am anticipating this might actually work! Skyhammer is awesome! I can definitely recommend him! People have been commenting on his awkward knee-configuration, but it isn't really that bothersome. You just have to work around it so to speak. Also, if you want to go for a more realistic look: another board-member ( I can't remember who anymore) commented that, if you replace his mech-tech weapon (which is already pretty bad-ass) with Thunderhead's rifle, it looks a lot more realistic. Last, he can feel a bit "light". This does not appear to be solely the result of somewhat cheaper-feeling plastic, but also due to a number of hollow spaces in the figure (such as behind the shins). Oh, and if you are a sucker for how big this guy is: he is about as tall as Battle Blades Optimus Prime and I think a little taller than Shockwave.
I agree a 100%! He has great posability, character and a pretty nifty transformation. He is not as tall as I'd like him to be, but still has a presence.
if anyone see's a RTS G2 Prime anywhere, hit me up and let me know... i missed him and am now regretting it... want him to fight my G2 Megatron from classics...
Hey guys, has anyone seen warpath, thundercracker, or wheeljack? My preorder is available, but I kinda want them cneaper then $45..
I had picked up a badly beaten TC from Target when I saw him (looked like he had been smooshed under a cart), but I have yet to see a Warpath in the city. I'm thrilled that Wheeljack finally came in at BBTS!
Kre-O TFs at Westside Toys R Us! They're on the end cap of the Customer Service bay in front of the entrance. Plenty there but they could go fast. Looks like most of the first wave, too. I grabbed myself a couple of Mirages (don't worry, still plenty of those left too) so my hubby and I aren't fighting over him.

Sorry Squallte, I wish I could say that I have seen them out in the wild, but I can't. I got my TC from HTS a while back. Just not feeling the love for Wheeljack ( I am shocked to say that too). But I wants me a Warpath somthin fierce. Maybe eventually. Geewun1, when you were at Target, did you happen to see any wave 3 cyberverse stuff? I also read about a sale going too, on the sales and coupon thread. I am planning making the rounds this weekend, we'll see whats out there. And a late welcome to the boards to Gurney!
Opps, my bad. Late welcome to the boards gurney! As a initiation you have to buy us senoir members a windcharger ! I guess i'll just pay for the bbts price. It comes out to about $15 per figure and saves me gas and time searching for them. Plus I get all 3 instead of finding 2 and can't find the 3rd. Oh, and on the non-transformers side of things. Lobo got in more green lantern power rings. They're $3 each, plastic, and made to expand for bigger ring sizes. I grabed 1 for me and 1 for my son. Now I can rock a yellow and green power ring. I also saw a lio convoy for $6. It's missing the missiles and the launchers, but still looks nice for the price.
