    Has MS even announced any other figures? They must be up next, after CNY, unless they trickle out more repaints first.

    Aside from this, Gears and Windcharger were the last two and they came out of nowhere and were in people's hand just as quickly. I don't think they're going to make the Skyfire mistake again. Reveal and release I suspect will be very close from now on.

    I don't own any but personally I value equally individual bots and combined form.
    So I wouldn't go for Zeta. MMC and Unique Toys seem better for my tastes. And from those two I'd pick MMC for the more saturated colors.

    After all these years I would still say Warbotron is my favorite Combaticon set overall. I've liked some individuals from other sets better, but not the set as a whole, and I've had all of them except the UT arm bots (decided that was money best not spent).

    Brawl is Q3 according to Showz but imo that's speculation and since we already saw a colored prototype of brawl I expect the first batch in Q2.

    I have the original release of menasor and it's a very floppy set. Definitely needed ratchets for the knees and arms imo. Also, my dead end is just missing a wheel out of box...

    Despite that, it's still a great release.

    Just add future.
    I don’t know if it’s amazing, sad, or amazingly sad that people are collecting this long and don’t know how to fix loose/tight joints.
    No figure is perfect, just Kiki/future or shock oil to your liking.

    It’s just a liquid that turns a bit waxy, and washes off with water. Just dab a Qtip in the bottle and dab or drip a drip into said joint and rotate it around to spread. Let set for 8-24, it’ll be tighter.

    Plus in my experience, joint tighteners don't tend to work on pin joints. There's just no room for the goo to seep into the pin hole to tighten it up.

    --Please don't take that last sentence out of context.

    In those cases, I try to apply it not to the pin itself but to the problematic surfaces the pins are on. Like, on Cosmos' loose foot here, I applied it to the circled area where the surfaces make contact, and that's worked quite well for me!
