So here are my Magnuses side by side. If I had one word for this repaint, it would be weird. I get that it’s from the Netflix show, it just feels odd and redundant. They could have done something much more interesting.

As it stands, it’s basically a toss up as to which you prefer. You definitely don’t need both. What it has done is remind me how much I love the toy though - which is largely responsible for getting me into WFC in the first place.



edit:

here he is alone for those who care

 

If I manage to find magnus, I'll probably reverse weather his shoulders with some white and his missiles with some red.

 

I like the sharper white paint on this Magnus better than the creamy molded-in white that Siege Magnus has but i just can't justify buying him with all the battle damage he has, it just makes most of him look too bland imo.

 

My thoughts exactly. Even clearanced out at $35, I still can bring myself to buy another UM.

 

Man lucky, I been to six Walmart’s now and no scrapface. Bout to cave to eBay scalpers, but I’d assume more will be coming down the pipe.

 

Picked him up this morning. Thought he would look good with the spy guys and I was right. He breaks up the color pallet a little.

here he is in camera mode with his buds.

 

I suspect there will be more at about June. I cancelled the three I had ordered so hopefully they'll have extras online when that comes in.

 

I had Scrapface in my hands today. I was thinking about buying him but he transforms into a shitty camera. So I picked up a second Hotlink instead.



Pffft.........stupid camera! 

 

Yea, its easy to get all flustered and cave into scalpers but in all reality there will be more in the pipe. Every store I went to had dozens of astrotrains warming shelves, I expect him to be on deep discount soon. Just gotta be patient.

 

But but... Hotlink transformers into a triangle pyramid

 

Triangle FLYING pyramid! Flying is the selling point, my boi!

 

I just made a custom totally by accident. I've been working on a Sharkticon project so I made some duplicate tails & heads. Then I made a duplicate chest piece for my Siege G2 Ramjet cast in clear purple. I mixed too much resin & didn't know what to do with it so I cast a clear Sharkticon tail just so the resin wouldn't go to waste. And then it hit me!

Yeah but I already have Reflector. 1 stupid camera is enough.

Plus you can never have too much Heartburn! 

 

Your post reminded me that I still don’t have refraktor. And I do have scrapface in pre-order. So I just bought the three pack on pulse.

 

The Computers probably decided this. I remember last year Jetfire's spot had Clearance Tags, even though they were sold out for weeks.

 

I got all Netflix figures except for Scrapface. Guess those are being hoarded up for cameras. Keep finding tons of Sideswipes and Hounds shelfwarming.

 

Yeah it's definitely the camera thing. I was going to look for more Scrapfaces for people but LA county has some issues right now and I'm just going to stay home for a while. I hope you can find some soon though.

 

Yeah I got 4 total, 3 for camera mode and 1 in robot mode

 

Dang dude! I finally found 1 "hiding" on a top shelf and snagged him. Not interested in any other wave 1 guys or multiples of scrapface... I can swap him into the 3pack easy enough for a different color scheme just fine

 

The neck post on my Netflix Mirage broke clean off during first transformation. The head seemed to be on that ball really tight; fused is a good description.

Luckily I was able to exchange it for another one at my local Walmart.

 

Dang! That sucks, I'm sorry. So, the rumors and complaints are true. I'm not sure why they sent them out like that, when clearly there's a problem. It's not the first time, though, so I shouldn't be as shocked as I am about this. QC is not their strong suit.
