Via Magic Square Toys Weibo we have our first images of the gray prototypes of their upcoming Legends Scale Brawl & Blast Off.
These are the first entries of Magic Square Toys Combaticons which also means Bruticus for the Legends scale market. We have a look at Brawl and Blast Off in robot and alt mode showing a detailed and solid sculpt. We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.

I don't let my wife know what I bought myself and she does the same. We wrap our own gifts and have each other open them so at least one of us is surprised. Yeah, it's not the same as being surprised with what *we* want, but it's something and a different kind of fun.

My idw blast off is out for delivery today! Too bad I work and won't get to mess with him until 7p-ish lol
Primetimez
That's encouraging that it did start to move. I don't think I'm convinced ordering from them is better than ShowZ. They were starting to take a bit longer than normal and I was hearing MST was pretty fast but I think I'll go back to my old standby next time. Thanks
Nightwing
Mine was stuck for a long time, but it's estimated to be delivered today. I bought Onslaught from MS a week or two after Blastoff and I already received that.

Far from the worst i’ve seen on these boards lol, you’re good.
Snaku
Heh. Yeah, I do that all the time. Just kind of have a grumpy day for no reason and I turn into a dick online. My real issue is road rage, though – nothing crazy but I'm always kind of competitive and I try to block people who I think are driving like dicks. Always have to remind myself that being a dick in response to others' dickishness just makes me a dick too.
QuinJester
Same story here. I've been spoiled by most Chinese stores having way faster shipping than they used to. Five years ago it was normal to wait like four to five weeks for stuff to arrive.
Primetimez
I'm curious if anyone who ordered Blastoff from the Magic Square Toys site has received theirs yet. I know mine is stuck somewhere in transit and I've seen others saying the same thing.
Spiffy
Ah yes! Thanks guys, much better.

Indeed, look at this image and you can clearly see what Ginrai is talking about.

It’s because you’re using Blastoff’s hips as elbow joint. He has a dedicated combiner elbow joint built in his waist. Vortex too.
Destron1
You missed a step with Vortex, the window panels go up again in arm mode.

admittedly, i hadn’t meditated yesterday and was a bit edgy. apologies to all. @Mechman42 i’m a work in progress.
Spiffy
Ah. Turns out you can pop open the wrist panels and get a 95 degree bend in the elbow that way. Things start to get untabbed when you’re posing him that way though.
Spiffy
Got around to some combined mode shots… one thing I notice is that in hand he feels better proportioned than in photos, since the lense distortion tends to string him out a lot. It’s better when you shoot in close.
too bad Blastoff can only get a shallow elbow angle.. unless I’m missing a step in arm mode or something..
Snaku
My wife suggested that but I dunno, I just can't convince myself to do it. Like, it's from me and I know it's from me so the magic of opening it on Christmas just isn't there. It would be fun, though. I do kinda miss the days when there'd be something fun to open on Christmas.
I took it as her just sassing you, not being a jerk. I do agree that multi quote should be used and I think there's even a role about consecutive posting but the mods are always so good about combining them that I never stress about it. I've even had them combine posts that I made months apart (like the thread had gone dormant after my previous post) and that were making completely different points, which was honestly a little obnoxious.

Won’t be able to do some booth shots till Saturday but this thing is so play friendly once it’s all tabbed in. Having him next to Devastator and Menasor, he’s such an upgrade. I cannot wait for whatever combiner MS does next!

that’s great to hear. Was thinking of buying a few more figures anyways. I’ll just see if they can add them to an order. Thanks for the advice!

They’re good and will get you the parts but you have to pay shipping for the part. Or have them ship with a future order. They have a repair parts product on their characters page, pay for shipping and then email them. Or vice versa, their instructions are pretty good.
I got a replacement windshield for ghe A version of Hound through them even though I didn’t order from them.
After dealing with BBBs after sales and their replacement parts form I’d rather go through MS and pay the shipping.
