Also, to be clear if you do have a significant amount of ice damming you should look into the insulation and air flow in your attic. It should not be happening.
So hasbro pulse is up. You can preorder Wave 2 Siege deluxes, micromasters, and voyagers, with a release date of 4/1. Deluxes are only $10. They also have Wave 5 SS figures, and the leaders are only $40. O_O Also, looks like there's free shipping after a point (thought right now it's free shipping on anything), though still also taxes. Looks like you can also preoder MP's (Cartoon Bee and Bluestreak)
EP Target doesn't really have anything interesting as of last night. They do have the power (or whatever) class Ironhide and Soundwave igniters for Bee Movie. I picked up Soundwave because I'm a sucker for that character and because there's a lot of little aesthetic touches on him that just give him a little more charm, such as his little igniter box being molded into a boombox and the 80's vaporwave-esque are on the side of 'Ravage' and 'Laserbeak'. Also his back doors pop open to reveal a bunch of speakers when you put the igniter box in, and that's kinda neat. TOTALLY not worth $13 tho. ><
I went ahead and ordered Jetfire and Prime from Pulse this morning, effectively ending my retail hunting for the foreseeable future. I went down to Burnsville Target last night and the shelves were still void of SS leaders...a nice lady scanned the tag for me and confirmed that they didn't have any in stock, and didn't know when they'd get more. She suggested Edina Target as they were showing 5 in stock. I dipped over to Edina...there were 3 leaders on the shelf (2 Grimlocks and a Blackout). I found a willing employee to check the case in the back...he came up with another Grimlock and Blackout...
Yeah man, with how full the shelves looked at Edina, the few times I've popped over there in the last week I just assumed they didn't have jack from the new stuff. It all uses the same DPCI number anyway, right? The other thing I wonder right now is how long it'll take Pulse to start shipping out orders. To their credit, the site didn't just die during all the traffic it got this morning like HTS used to. XD
Be happy if all you collect is Transformers stuff... Those Marvel Legends and Power Rangers reveals from Hasbro... Oh, and if anyone was looking, Hot Comics in New Hope had one set of the second wave of the Micromasters figures in stock. I bought one of each set. I really like Siege Laserbeak...he feels like a simplified Masterpiece. Ravage...still looks bad at most angles. Like a Pomeranian dog more than a Panther.
I like chunky ravage's look. We'll see how I feel about him in hand. XD And yeah, I hear ya. A friend of mine was freakin' about the other stuff shown. I'd be more interested in the Ranger stuff if it was zords, since I'm almost exclusively a mecha collector. Well, except for tamagotchis. I suppose they're not mecha. But that's not to say that those Lightning series figures didn't tempt me!
Yeah, the fact that they're starting off strong with not only Lord Zedd, but Goldar in the line, actual major/classic villains from the original MMPR, shows how invested Hasbro really is in the line. Plus the unhelmeted actual actors' likenesses.
Giving Doggie a civillian head along with everyone else is awesome. Also, as I told einhazard, 2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Optimus Prime wearing backpacks. Genuinely considering restructuring my collection around both combiners *and* Primes who wear other robots hesh dismembered.
I wonder what they'll do for the Rangers that were a couple of different people. MMRP Red - Jason/Rocky MMPR Black - Zack/Adam MMPR Yellow - Trini/Aisha MMPR Pink - Kimberly/Kat Zeo Gold - Trey/Jason Turbo Red - Tommy/T.J. Turbo Pink - Kat/Cassie Turbo Yellow - Tanya/Ashley Turbo Green - Adam/Carlos I'd hope maybe they'd include both characters' heads in the box...or I guess go with the more popular? I mean with the MMPR gang, it's always gonna be Jason, Trini, Zack, Billy, Kimberly, and Tommy, but...options, right?
So I saw Alita on Friday. Honestly that was all I could have hoped for and more after waiting 20 years to see it made into a film. I would love to see it continued (the movie only covered Volume 1), but I would be surprised since these kinds of things never make enough money to do so. But I'm glad just to have this!
If the heads are interchangeable all you'd have to do is buy the Ranger figures you wanted and swap civilian heads around. One example: MMPR/Kim, Zeo/Kat, Turbo/Cassie. Three figures, but has all of your combinations covered. The only tough ones would be people like Trini, Aisha, Kendrix, and Karone who only had one suit and swapped them out midseason.
AV Walmart has at least one full set of the WW2 Bee SS wave. The Cedar AV Target has a Barricade and Sideswipe.
