    Snagged Boost for $74.00 shipped (via 2-day delivery as well).

    And official-only people say we pay so much more than them every time ... Ahh yeah, no. :)

    Only 9 out of 10 times compared to them. Reality is you're both way overpaying for these products in general.

    They said they are doing Huff/Pipes. I could definitely see them doing Trailbreaker because Hoist is a repaint/mold mod. That would make the most sense because that character is obscure enough that TT would not want to target it. Also they could work around to Seaspray and Gears/Swerve since they confirmed they are not doing Cliffjumper/Hubcap. I think X-Transbots will do Cosmos and I think they will have to do Cliffjumper if we are ever going to see an accurate version since BC has passed.

    So far I've ended up with every Badcube figure released, but I guess the streak (ha!) ends here! Only collecting toon characters so easy pass. Cool for the diaclone collectors though!

    But yeah I agree with you also. But major oops. Was supposed to be in the Boost/Hatch section!

    If I had endless money I would buy every Masterpiece vehicle including repaints and remolds. But realistically I can't. So I have to follow a rule. Masterpiece only, no CHUG, no repaints or remolds, and until recently no third party. But I caved on third party. But the prior rules apply to third party. This keeps me within sane boundaries of money and collecting. I think it's cool that some of us collect only Diaclone, and some collect only Toon. Those are rules. I read in one post on another thread that someone in his biggest year spent 12 grand on figures. I can't do that. I want to, but can't. And don't get me wrong, I love chug, but there are so many great ones, I can't afford to get them all. So I don't get any. Wreck-gar is my favorite at this point. Kuddos to BC.

    So this is Badcube's big CNY announcement for February? An obscure diaclone repaint? I'll stick to Sunsurge.

    I'll have both thanks. :) 
    Like everyone else with rules, I mostly just buy cars.

    I'm hoping that their big announcement before CNY is still to come, and this is just a tease.

    C'mon Bad Cube, make with the Cliffjumper...

    Just pre-ordered from TCP. Not usually a fan of the non G1 toon re-colors, but the figure is really good enough to justify this one time...

    The discounted pre-order price also helped a lot. Wish all 3p's would do that going forward.

    Eh, pass. Love the mold, just not fond of the red variant.

    If they read our posts, I want to let them know that I am passing on the blaze and strongly considering Sunsurge. Its a shame because they did so many shots of Sunsurge with MP Sideswipe and they paired incredibly well. MP Sideswipe is a beautiful figure and can be had with some sales and discounts at 50-60 bucks

    So for them to pull this Blaze thing? Makes zero sense to me

    What discounted price? It's $83.99 everywhere I've seen, which is cheaper than Sunsurge because of two fewer accessories. I have no idea why TCP shows $104.99 with a 20% discount if you preorder.

    I don't think it's any different than what TT does. Some people will like it. Especially if they do the police version. But it will need to have a detachable light section for the false canopy.

    I think that's the price after release, maybe?

    This guy nails Sideswipe's likeness and persona.

    I love it!

    Takara has nothing on this take on Lambo.

    Wait, are those yellow ears?

    Who the heck is this guy?

    This isn't sideswipe!

    No don't tell me, it can't be.

    NOOOO it's a red sunstreaker.

    OK you've had your fun BC, you want to get two out of one?

    Trailbreaker and Hoist. :tongue:
