Personally, I think the Seige Magnus looks better overall. DangerousJ, scorp, DN3 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment

I'd love an HD remaster of the original show. The story of the show is great, but looking at it now certainly isn't easy on the eyes. Quote Link to comment
iStu X Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have a release calendar for the kingdom figures? I just got a release notice for Paleotrex. I have Vertebreak and Rattrap on preorder too but with holidays being soon and being on a much stricter income I don’t want to get them right now. side bar: does anyone know exactly how big bad toy stores pile of loot system works? Cause I have the three figures in question preordered with them. Among other things as well. Edited December 16, 2020 by iStu X Quote Link to comment
DangerousJ Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 BBTS has Paleotrex listed as availalble now, even though most shops seem to put it at February? Vertebreak and Rattrap seem to be coming out in March (According to Hasbropulse and BBTS) https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-deluxe-wfc-k7-paleotrex Paleotrex - February 2021 https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-core-class-wfc-k3-vertebreak Vertebreak - March 2021 https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-war-for-cybertron-kingdom-core-class-wfc-k2-rattrap Rattrap- March 2021 I have not used Pile of Loot, but according to users on TFW2005.com, it groups all those items you pre-ordered together, waits until ALL are in stock, then ships it to you in one big package so as to save money on shipping costs. In your case, Im assuming you will only have to pay once in March since you put those 3 figures in your loot pile and the releases are staggered. iStu X and OPTIMUS124 2 Quote Link to comment

Before they set limits I had some items sitting on there for over a year needless to say when I finally had them sent the boxes were freaking huge but they took care of placing the figures and non were damaged. iStu X and DangerousJ 1 1 Quote Link to comment

For whatever reason, the Japanese retailers offer 30% off once they open. This continues usually up through release day (although the discount may slide to 20%). MP-44 (Optimus Prime) has an MSRP of 450. I paid $320 shipped via Amazon Japan. Got here in 3 days. I have zero reason to buy from a domestic retailer on MPs at this point. iStu X 1 Quote Link to comment

Also the voice acting direction for Optimus and megatron. They sound so uninspired it was weird Quote Link to comment

They sound so uninspired it was weird Most of the things you mentioned along with telling instead of showing. They had so much backstory in the first part that was expository, it could have been it's own chapter. You also have the constant reuse of models and moments where running just doesn't make sense. The thing about Prime and Megs voice actors are that they are both better in other things. Hell, Jason Marnocha (Megatron) was the only good thing to come out of the Machinima web series. The one thing that I'd have to push back on is the use of vehicle modes. Even in the G1 cartoon, they had alt modes prior to coming to Earth.

OPTIMUS124 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Gamestop is running a promo for collectibles. If you spend $100+ you get 25% off (applied at checkout). MP Thundercracker is on there sooooooo https://www.gamestop.com/toys-collectibles/collectibles/figures/products/transformers-thundercraker-masterpiece-action-figure/11114202.html I'll admit, it's likely that the pre-orders will be cancelled since the delivery is "next week".
