Shadow Panther is not unexpected, but a bit tad disappointing. I was hoping that they'd tweak his beast mode a bit, but it looks like he's a straight repaint of Cheetor.

If Pipes is coming, I should get a Huffer at some point. -Ralph What, after I got you a CW one? Have you played with Huffer yet? I presume not in these Covid times. Phil will have new toys for Burns to play with then.... Yes I have played with CW Huffer. Why would Covid stop me?? Kingdom Huffer will be acquired at some point now I know Pipes is coming. -Ralph |

No they're not!
The Six are a set, The Five are a set.
Pipes has his own set. The re-paint set.

Well, yeah good point. But there are sets within sets. And Huffer and Pipes belong in different sets.

The UK's record on Walgreens exclusives is patchy.
Brainstorm, Ratchet not so great.
Clone 2 pack, Wreck-Gar OK
You'll *probably* seer them cheaper later at IDToys but I'm not willing to stake my reputation on it and am happy to py a bit extra for this, and Road Rage, for the peace of mind.

Hah ha ha, no. I'll wait for one half that price over here. -Ralph |

Post by Philip Ayres on Jul 2, 2021 9:32:49 GMT
I don't think you'll see half the price. £25 maybe.
IIRC this is a post price rise toy. Then whack on an exclusive mark up.
As I said, happy to know it's on the way because the record on Walgreens exclusives is variable. Hopefully I've taken a bullet for the chums which pushes this into "freely available everywhere".

When I saw Red Alert come up on RK's newsletter my thinking was immediately like Phil's. This one is a little worrying and may warrant the expense for security. £41 plus the poker though... And it could well show up on Pulse here.

Playing with Phil's Kingdom toys.
T-Wrecks is not a fun toy. Galvatron is a fab robot toy: looks better in person and the dodgy shoulders look fine to my eyes. I wouldn't know there was a problem if I hadn't been told.
It's a shite Transformer though!
Huffer and Warpath are FAB. I must have them.

Finally getting around to opening up my Kingdom toys. Kind of blown away by them. Gotta be honest and admit that pictures left me feeling underwhelmed by most of them.
Especially the beasts.
Megatron is mildly meh, but has a fantastically posable trex mode that more than makes up for the rest.
Dinobot is one of the few original BW toys that could do with a more show accurate version and this is it. Even Primal which between the original and MP seemed completely pointless, but nope, its good too.

G1 Kingdon have all been top notch so far.
I now see why Seige Magnus and remoulds have been so popular. Cyclonus is much better in hand, the proportions look right unlike in photos. Warpath and Huffer both fun.
Paleotrex or Ractonite whichever I have, is just weird.

Air Razor also good.
