Not sure if I've seen this posted elsewhere but I just received my Red Baron and Blue Baron from a seller on AliExpress and much to my surprise my Red Baron came with an extra baggie of accessories that contained an extra big machine gun, a red Starscream head, blue Starscream head, silver Starscream head, and 4x pilot figures!

 

Nice!! What a great surprise. Also, if you ever feel like selling a pilot figure I’ve got a red baron that has nobody to fly it.  

 

Nice!! Did you see any sellers selling the extra red head and the pilot?

 

I did not, sorry. Honestly I haven't even seen any mention of anyone else having them so I'm not sure if this was normal or not. Surely others here have bought Red Baron so I'm curious if they had the extra bag of goodies in with their figures or not.

 

I just bought a Beige Hornet from eBay (Thanks @Fuze9) and I'm waiting on my second Blue Hornet to see if I get the right accessories this time. Meanwhile, finally cracked open this unicorn...




He looks fairly yellow in the pics but in person he is very much lime green.... so much so that it surprised me hell out of me when I opened it up.

 

Just got notice from TCP that Hotrod and Jetfire will be coming in stock in 3 days. Hype building!

 

Wait at the same time? That's odd

 

It was a TCP glitch.

 

Nice if true. Looking forward to my battleship.
But we haven't seen any new pics in a while, so it's probably a glitch.

 

It's not impossible that it's true since Barricade and the Barons basically dropped at the same time... besides TW is weird about releases.

That said, I'm skeptical because I woke up to about 7 different 3 day warnings from TCP and they are notorious for sending these emails out accidentally.

 

TCP just posted on Facebook and confirmed that it was a system error. Sad trombone.

 

As expected.
No biggie. I can wait some more for such a glorious figure.

 

Yeah honestly my wallet is breathing a sigh of relief after just paying for the FT bugs and the Beige Hornet.

 

I have to admit I panicked when I heard they were both in stock. Just spent a ton more on my daughter’s birthday than I was expecting to (we don’t know how to stop when it comes to birthdays, hehe) so I’m not ready for these fellas yet.

 

Happy that Skyfire isn't coming to harbor yet too.
I'd like to see what EU VAT collection has in store for me before I order this guy.

 

So wait, is Hot Rod still coming or were both an error?

 

I think they were both in error. Both were slated to release in June according to TCP and a few others but I haven't seen either one in stock on ShowZ or AliExpress yet so I'd wager if they aren't available in China yet then they aren't showing up in the states any time soon.

 

I just got my wwII barricade i added some lights for detail. Its glow in the dark paint   i also got the skywarp version. I never liked the movie transformers but these are awesome!
I fixed a couple of loose pins and joints using glue and then constantly moving the parts to avoid gluing anything permanently in place.

 

Awesome thanks for the tip on the figures i went and got several waiting for a soldier to drive Barricade. View attachment 29130760

 

Nice! They’re technically a bit big I suppose but better than nothing. Mega Construx really does a nice job on their figures.
