Surprised hoist on ajp isn't cheaper by a lot, with shipping it's only 9 less then pulse.

Anyone got the link for Crasher? Cant get the buyee popup cart to show up on the takara site.

Okay, this fan mode is kinda clever. It doesn't actually use the three grouped 5mm posts to attach it to the rockets on his back (like you'd use in train mode), it uses one of the other lone pegs. Allows the "wings" to end up in a totally different location. The combined gun is nice too but I feel like that's kinda the standard way to combine them all, might have even been in the instructions.

So is there a way to order (Crasher) if you don't live in Japan? from the site and registration, it gives you a page to enter address and all it wants is a Japan location.

But will they fix Tigatron's yellowing? 'Cause I really wanted that figure.

Hoist just looks bad. The WFC version looks better than that!
Scornstream
I know. But I prefer the realistic pink nose.
ssjgoku22
The nose is black in the the show and also on the MP. I agree about the coat though, the Takara version looks way better.
Scornstream
I don't like how Tigatron's tiger face is less detailed and has a black nose instead of a pink one, BUT, I feel like the pure white coat is a MAJOR improvement over the Kingdom's piss coat.

If you have to ask, the answer is most likely "No".

I'm on the fence on the BA vs. Tigatron set. On one hand they're pretty much exactly how they should look. On the other hand, they don't look all that different from the ones I already have (I swapped BA's spider legs with the Target exclusive version). Are they really worth the dough? I'm not sure.

I think my boy Rhinox looks dope. He needs a bit more paint apps (some rust and dirt smears) but otherwise he’s a fantastic figure imo.
Scornstream
I like how Cybertron Metroplex is leagues larger than the Nemesis, despite the fact she is supposed to be a giant space warship.
Max Tower
Hopefully they will use different plastic source and Tigertron won't discolour.
I kinda wish the Airazor repaint we got was one accented in Yellow though rather than another orange one with maybe nicer feathers.
Vintage Toy colour Kingdom Airazor with the yellow accent would have been nice to have.
Antz
So does this mean US customers may get another shot at Velocitron Wave 2 or do the TTMall Exclusives not usually make it here? Anyone know where they may be resold?
Tetratron
Scarr wakes up everyday regretting joining the Dinobots.

Good grief that Hoist is terrible. It looks like a cheap ko

The best thing about the comics having months between them is that the race looked like it started with less participants than it ended with.
Also, you got to love Sakamoto having so few pages and yet manages to cram in another one of his glorious "official fan modes" for GS.

Looks like you're meant to repurpose copy convoy as dark amber this time around according to the manga. Kinda sad means won't get the reverse colored version, but I get why lol

Why are kaen and raiden so damn chubby.
