Bludgeon wears the mould better than tarn … having the sword and then being able to put his cannons on his back , plus the colours… he looks really good!

 

Forgot the stream, so a lil behind, but holy beezwax Mirage and Primal look amazing!

 

“There might be a hidden little pre planned combined mode piece” on the voyager junkion. Exciting.

 

I wish that core Bee from the Prime Playset would be available individually.

 

Its already available with a mini Spike

 

Yeah, but I've never seen it anywhere. I'm meaning in a reissue.   (Plus I don't want Spike. I hate superfluous stuff - see also that four pack with Goldbug, which I want, and three random pieces of crap I don't  )

 

Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee War for Cybertron Core Class BUMBLEBEE & SPIKE WITWICKY - Bubble-n-Squeak Toys might be worth keeping an eye on in case they reduce it and you can jettison Spike guilt free

 

Thanks, I'll bear this one in mind!  

 

Loving that Antagony with the alt head.

 

Livestream thoughts.

Bombshell: Pre-order
Shadow Striker: Maybe
Strongarm: Maybe
Detritus: Meh
Bludgeon: Pre-order
Trashmaster: Meh
Dreadwing: Pre-order
Snuff film 2-pack: Meh
4 pack: Got an Autotrooper lined up. Meh on rest.
Volvo Prime: Meh
Antagony: Meh

 

I'd be happy to sell you mine dude. drop me a PM

 

Wow, they weren't kidding, they had loads on today buuuuuut, I only want Bombshell and Rubbishguvnor, sorry Hasbro.  

 

Yeah! That alt head has sold me on getting her!

To steal @Lothar Hex's format....

ROTB stuff: Definitely keen on Mirage & Primal - but might wait to see if I can get them on the cheap.
Core stuff: Meh - I'll wait for the Dinoking repaints.
Bombshell: Pre-order! Twice if they decide to do a Actionmaster Selects version.
Shadow Striker: Looks better to be today than it did when we saw the leaks. Yes for the Pre-order.
Strongarm: Little concerned Legacy Elita is becoming the new POTP Moonracer. You don't have to squeeze all the girls out of the same mold last. But... yeah want.
Detritus: Pre-order like a mofo.
Bludgeon: Little disappointed they didn't give him a new chest, but good golly that head sculpt is fierce. Couldn't quite tell, but is that mouth painted or is that light-piped? Because light pipes would rule.
Trashmaster: That claw hand thingy strikes me as a combine head helmet. Tis a bin lorry! I need him.
Dreadwing: Wait for a big-mike discount. Sad they didn't hint to a G1 .5 deco
Snuff film 2-pack: Hmmmm. They look better on the vid, but still a pass from me. Watch them do a Ratchet and Brawn 2-pack next year and I'll be scrambling to find this at crazy prices next year.
4 pack: Already ordered.
Volvo Prime: Where's me G2 combat hero deco?
Antagony: Loving that alt head.

 

ROTB Stuff : YEESSSS
Everything else : No thanks.

Only thing that could possibly interest me is the combiner Mark posts with Trashmaster

 

Just saw someone mentioning using Primals chain for Battletrap! What an amazing idea

 

Some cool reveals, here's my list of pre-orders:

SS ROTB Primal: hell to the fucking yeah.
Bombshell: have to complete the set and he looks the part.
Shadowstriker: love how sleek she is, great figure, excited for it.
Core snarl: looks the best out of the bunch, no idea why they couldn't articulate everyone's elbows except 2 of them

 

S***! I might have to look at that Core playset, I'm a sucker for trailers BUT it'll be my OG Core Prime that totes it if I make the punt!
Surprised my guess was right that we might get a Strongarm from the Elita-1/Minerva bod!

 

As promised, haul pic!

Haul 1-ID Toys
Blue Beholder- Nice enough repaint.
Black Displacer- Looks cool, but is an absolute PITA to turn back into a dice.
86 Rumble- Damn it, I like him. Guess I'll be in for the red one.
Haul 2- Smyths
SS Airazor- Damn it, I like her. I might be in for some more RotB stuff. A shame her alt-mode isn't more accurate, seeing as she spends most of the movie like that.
Ninjago Imperium Hound- It looks really cool, figures are cool, disappointed the hind legs aren't more articulated.
Bakugan G3 Dragonoid and Ventri- Didn't even know they were out before I spotted them. I like the half-and-half gimmick, I like the special attack, though Ventri doesn't close up properly.
Haul 3- Pulse
Blue Displacer- Same as previosuly, but the clear plastic is cool.
Brown Owlbear- Still like the mold, the paint and new head are nice.
Brown Mimic- I like the wood textured dice, and the monster mode is appropriately vile looking.
Haul ? - B&M
Earthspark Soundwave- despite being a brick, the way the parts shift between modes is ingenious.

 

Trashmaster has the Junkion combo facility, might be back on with the Leggy Junkions!

 

Nice haul! I'm going to be in for all the Dragons Rising Ninjago stuff   I'm loving watching the series though I still need to watch the last two episodes of the new series/season.
Wow, the dicelings are smaller than I realised!

Of the new reveals I'm definitely getting Strongarm, Shadow Striker, Bludgeon, and Dreadwing. I'm rather impressed by how well Strongarm works and as a fairly substantial reshell of Elita! At first I thought she looked a bit stretched, then I think that might be the old Warrior toy colouring my perceptions as I think these proportions are actually closer to the show model from what I can remember?
