That's surprising as alot of it registers as just plain junk (or overpriced statue) to me.

 

Oh, trust me. I feel the exact same way about at least... 85-90% of the stuff on that clearance sale. It's more than a bit surprising to me, too.

 

I noticed BBTS got in the MDLX Threezero nemesis prime recently. I haven’t gotten around to buying any Threezero figures yet but I’ve been meaning to for a while. Might have to finally try them out with this one cause it looks pretty sweet

 

Among their one-day sale today is this one:


Transformers War for Cybertron WFC-01 Voyager Optimus Prime (Premium Finish)

36.99 for any interested. I'm not as I already own the mold and green windows doesn't do it for me.  

 

PF Optimus is very tempting. I am not a fan of the mold… this is the best seige Optimus for the money. Voyager price and better paint.

 

Are you surprised? I'm not.

I'm still waiting on legacy wildrider. I pre-ordered him on 4/12/22 and still nothing.

 

The dk 38 seems nice

I would love one but too expensive

 

Yeah, I was waiting for this one to go on sale.  

A reminder link on a new page, in case anybody needs it.  

Transformers War for Cybertron WFC-01 Voyager Optimus Prime (Premium Finish)

 

I wish they'd put more stuff on smaller sales more frequently if they're going to go with this no POL nonsense. I have the MMC First Aid in my cart and all I need is one other decent discount to pull the trigger. But that's so much easier said than done. It's all stuff that I wasn't interested in at full price or wowed enough to pay full price again. The domestic lines are so slow or their lineups so poor that I feel like there's perpetually nothing new to buy even though I'm looking at a dozen lines at this point. With the insane markup they've been putting on 3P legends lately, I can't go that route either. Beyond that, I'm back up to five pages of preorders because everything is just being silently cancelled or delayed indefinitely.

FT Blitzwing is never coming out.
MFT never delivered Sideswipe or Red Alert after four years.
MFT is dragging their feet on Magnificus.
XTB is dragging their feet on Overdrive.
Playmates is dragging their feet on the "new" Star Trek line.
KitzConcept is dragging their feet on "Jetfire" and Dana Sterling.
Hasbro's retro black Spiderman reissue was a phantom.
Super7 is dragging their feet on GIJoe Ultimates.
MAFEX is surely going to delay Magneto and Huntress because they never release anything on time despite the longest lead times in the industry.
EagleForce is taking forever for a simple accessory pack.

Actually after typing all that out I'm just about mad enough to cancel half of it.

 

I just cancelled some Gundam stuff I preordered a YEAR AGO.   It's not that I'm impatient: it's BBTS constantly running up the months, every month, listing each item as coming THIS MONTH... except when it doesn't, and they just change it to coming this next month! For realz this time!!  
Just put a damn "???" next to release date!

 

I think they should make a special rule for Super7, Mezco, and others that don't have their act together. Every solicitation date should be accompanied by a rotating set of snide remarks.

Super7 Ultimates Thundertank - oh, wait, you're serious? let me laugh even harder
Mezco One:12 1989 Batman - when pigs fly, lol, spent the funds on Rumble Society
Playmates 1701 Enterprise - on clearance at your local Target
Hasbro anything past wave 1 - Ollies Exclusive!

 

Brah... with a list like that, just cancel it all. And with feelings about (you said a dozen?) Lines out that you're not interested... just quit?

I jest, but slightly.  

If 3rd part legends is your only goal, that's pretty niche'... maybe if your inner collecting demon demands substance, look towards a g1 collection to stave off the desert months per release? You can still scowl the threads, the sale sites, the release dates, the discounts... all the while having a side hustle? (side chick?   )

Oh, and by no means am I implying an original G1 quest from 84-86... fuck that overhyped noise of abused toys with rusted screws and cracked tires... buy a ko as your plastic crack desires demand...

feels good... trust me.    

 

So I'm guessing I'm never getting those Unrustable Bastards.  

 

That alleycon from earthrise is never gonna show.

 

Yea, i PO'd twoish years ago and canceled when gamestop was clearanceing them out for $15 a piece.

 

So for the one-day sale... is it weird I'm kinda tempted by that Soul of Chogokin Pac-Man?

 

Its a neat figure, has some heft to it. I got mine on release.

 

Just watched a YouTube video to dull my inhibitions, lol, and saw 415 grams for mech robot and small Pac-Man figure, 493 grams with the Ghost Gang and the stand added.  

I wanted it before in passing so I might nudge. If my impulsivity does not go away at the end of the day and it is still in stock, and if I can find something else to add, I will place an order. If it sells out, then it wasn’t meant to be.

Mental gymnastics complete.   

 

Luke Skywalker is about to drop.

 

He must be on Bespin.
