    there are the studs with holes in them that you can use to attach the bits I don't know the size of the posts on the guns but you should be able to check with a normal lego stud

    Even though Seige has quite a different aesthetic from PotP, these two look really good together, with their matching sky blue cockpits and all.

    The Takara versions are confirmed to be identical to their Hasbro counterparts, as was the case with Power of the Primes. It’s part of a Hasbro-initiated “Brand Unity” push that will likely also see fewer Japanese exclusives released.

    That has never been verified, conspiracy theories should be presented as such

    We've already seen the effects with TT not repainting the Dreadwing bros into their actual Japanese counterparts: Buster and Hydra.

    That doesn’t really mean anything. Maybe Takara decided to stop spending extra money on retooling and extra production runs. Maybe they have lg-ex releases planned for buster and hydra. My point still stands, there is no solid proof that hasbro initiated it and there is no proof Takara initiated it either. Both companies would have their reasons for doing it

    Personally, I figured it may be a take where Takara was tired of having to re-engineer things that were designed by Hasbro, added guns or added paint, that stuff had to have run up factory costs. I'm by no means an expert on how Takara works, but I honestly figured both parties decided it would be less taxing if they unified their mainlines. I mean, Takara still has that reign on some releases, like that Dai Atlas coming out next year. I figured they left most of the mainline to Hasbro so they could focus on Masterpiece and other "collector type" pieces since the eastern and western markets are so different. Just what I had thought though, I'm excited to hear more information one way or the other.

    I can't get my tank bro's to stay together to save my life. They look cool together but they don't stick together good. But I agree on the Jet sword, friggin Sweet!

    I can sorta wedge them around until Topshot's shoulders soooorta line up where they're supposed to on Flak? It's guesswork every time though.

    I won't hold it against you. He's also high up on my want list as well. Him and Magnus look really good and the power-up gimmick seems to suit them quite well. The more pics of the Leaders will make me happy anyways. Also, I just noticed Magnus looks to not have thigh swivels... fuck.
