The Random Transformers Thoughts Thread

What bugs me is Target has Menasor for $199 but Superion is $119. I pointed out to them on Facebook that they are exactly the same, and it's like charging a different amount for 2 different deluxes.

No avail.

Cost prices per unit are higher.
Probably not.
Why do you still shop there?

They probably bought less units of G2 Bruticus as G2 Superion and G2 Menasor didn't sell well. And if they didn't buy as much stock then Hasbro AU may have been overstocked and reduced bulk prices for Kmart.

I'm thinking of throwing all my Masterpiece's clam shells and flattening the boxes. With all the releases over the last couple of years I'm running low on room. There goes the resale value.

Even flattened boxes can take up a lot of space after a while. I just chuck most of my packaging out now.

I had to do a bit of box tetris today in my cupboard after picking up MP Thrust. Once Inferno and Skywarp arrive, I'm going to have to make some tough decisions on boxes.

Heh, just had all my TR Dlx Vehicles lined up in a row, canopies open.

Reminds me of games like Wing Commander where you choose a vehicle based on your play style - Low Armour, High Speed etc...

Blurr
Type: Land
Speed: High
Armour: Low
Weapons: Low

Chromedome
Type: Land
Speed: Medium
Armour: Medium
Weapons: Medium

Hardhead
Type: Land
Speed: Low
Armour: High
Weapons: High

Brainstorm
Type: Air/Space
Speed: High
Armour: Low
Weapons: Low

Highbrow
Type: Air
Speed: Medium
Armour: Medium
Weapons: Medium

and so on....

Well I learnt a valuable lesson just now about the MP12/14 mould. Be very careful when inserting the gun into the cannon as it can become stuck.

Annnnnnd now I've met Steve Blum as well. I got him to sign a Starscream print I got whilst at Adelaide Supanova (even though it was a G1 Starscream). I apologized for it being the wrong Starscream but he was still happy to sign it and he was a cool guy. I also got a Galvatron print while I was there.

With Titans Return figs showing up locally in fairly quick succession, I'm debating cancelling my preorders from BBTS.

I mean surely we will see W3 voyagers and Sixshot sooner rather than later, now that the deluxe have been spotted?

It's always a gamble not preordering, but if you're in an area with a bunch of choices you should be fine. Those of us with fewer options if one place sells out, that's a bigger gamble.
