I'm kind of glad that I don't travel South as much as I used to these days, mostly because the M6 goes over Shap, and naturally, every time I went past that bloody rhyme would be stuck in my head. "Shap two! Move along home!"

You know, I was convinced that Thundertron was to be a repaint or reshell of Lioconvoy. But now with the revelation that Shadowstriker is an unpredicted Sideburn pretool, and the core dinobots being dinoforce pretools, that opens up an entirely new avenue for Thundertron.
Thundertron is a nobody even in his own original toyline. I still don't believe he would earn a new mold before so many other TFP characters, like Soundwave. But if he was a pretool for say, Leobreaker, or a new go at G1 Razorclaw...? ...I could see that.

Still interested to know how today's largely hollow toys will manage to make rocks. Hope they're not cheapo shellformers.

More likely it's for whatever is going to replace the Junkions this time around. They've been quite popular (I think?) so I'd be surprised if these toys weren't the next swap-and-build figures.

Going to try not to buy everything next year.
W1 could be slim pickings for me: All the Core + Tigerhawk. Maybe the Op, if new, maybe Windblade: I already have a few Windblades and have Fu'd at least one. Thundertron I'll need to see.
Of the rest.... all the Core, Gears, Sureshot, BW Silverbolt, Cyber Hotshot & Starscream, Vector Prime. Galvatron. Soundwave, if it's not a Netflix Voyager & Tapes repack. Dlx Op if it's good.
Can't get excited about the Rocks and Animated.

Wave one I think might just be the rocks for me but I'm still annoyed one is core and the other a deluxe.
I have ignored animated Prowl, but being a total sucker for mini-sets, the bumblebee and Optimus are giving me the urge to pick up an £18 prowl in Smyths incase the three look good together.
But then come on, idiot, why not just get the original three back out because they'll look better.

I haven't bought a much this year so far, but all that means is that the wants list is longer than ever.
Perhaps buying as much but only through sales is the answer. I'm missing not buying older stuff because trying to keep up with the current is harder. Also, MotU.

Post by Benn on Aug 17, 2023 17:42:57 GMT
Yeah, I've bought less current stuff, but that just means I've been spending the money on Micromasters and TR/LG. I suppose that's a balance of a sort...

We've heard that before, too... As for me, I've been able to stick to my buying less, mostly aided by the fact that the figures just don't spark joy anymore. They're competent and well executed, for the most part, but that's it. Just filling in missing character holes now, really.

That's increasingly true. I think I've gone back to TR because of the play pattern. Little robots that interact with the bigger robots in like, three different ways (head, driver, and small vehicle/gun operative), and you can mix and match, the bigger bots can form base modes (something that might also explain my Micromaster collecting)...
Legacy has Evo-Fusion, where you can sometimes put two guns together to make a bigger gun.
I do like Legacy's Sunbow accuracy, but that only holds me for G1. The Beasts, Energon... I'm not interested enough in the small gains to just enjoy them without the gimmicks, I guess.

I wonder what sales are like of the non-G1 generations figures compared to the G1 ones; if this feeling is a general trend.

Post by Benn on Aug 18, 2023 10:15:10 GMT
I really hope they aren't bad, I'm glad these newer figures are out there, even if not for me.

Because they've gone through most of 84-86 enough times that some of them are on their third or fourth takes, while avoiding the late G1 stuff that are awaiting their first proper toys (nightbeat) that actually interests me, currently it's exclusively the non-G1 stuff that excites me. Another deluxe insecticon that's just a repaint of a "regular" insecticon that doesn't even look like him is just a checkmark for me. And it's nothing compared to the thrill of a brand new comic accurate G2 Jhiaxus, a brand new Armada Starscream, or even airazor repainted into BWII Skywarp.

It's funny, just this week I realised even though this year is just 2/3 done it's already got the most new purchases I've ever made (aided by some successfully selling off of older stuff), but only a tiny proportion of them are on current releases. The older stuff with gimmicks or just straight up charm (I've filled out my Fuzors ranks a bit in recent months...) definitely spark more joy for me as Llama God wisely put it, and I've also found some joy at the other extreme with the MPG Trainbots. That's increasingly true. I think I've gone back to TR because of the play pattern. Little robots that interact with the bigger robots in like, three different ways (head, driver, and small vehicle/gun operative), and you can mix and match, the bigger bots can form base modes (something that might also explain my Micromaster collecting)... This also really resonates with me this year! I've filled in some TR/Legends gaps, but also dipped my toes in Diaclone Reboot. Not something I can afford to get really deeply into, but the Tactical Mover subline is a nice compromise. They're an interesting mix of high-end and poseable but with play features, and a surprisingly high fiddle factor. The new stuff which most appeals is the mad repaints, I jumped at getting Toxitron Grimlock and Sideswipe but even so will probably wait for sales on any of the others.

Few things that are really interesting to me...
Tra Gen Legacy UNI Deluxe Slipstream Retool of the rumored Windblade?
Tra Gen Studio Series Deluxe Next Gen Bumblebee I'm sorry, what?
Tra Gen Studio Series Deluxe HM Megatron Again, what?
Tra Gen A Level AST MV8 OP Product Number: G0221
Tra Gen A Level AST 86 Bumblebee Product Number: G0220[/b] What is AST? Shorthand for Assortment? What is "A Level?"
MV8, I'm assuming is the upcoming animated movie originally slated for next year that I doubt will happen due to the strikes. Is that what "Next Gen Bumblebee" means, as well?
What is "HM" Megatron?

It’s what prepares us for Transformers Uni. Surely a Transformers GCSE must be in the works, too

They do - look Pinwig, Gs!!!!!! - but I'm looking at all this info together and thinking what a nightmare this will be to move to threads when the time comes. So excuse a few posts while I split this all up.... ... done. If you're able to direct replies to the individual posts for each series and confine the replies to that series that will be useful down the line. Yeah, I know, herding cats....

This looks like mostly repaints & remoulds. Slipstream maybe not (Windblade?) and I don't have an obvious source for Quake. His TR toy was good but not quite Quake. Galvatron - Megatron Core Rock 2 - Core Rock 1 Sideburn - Shadowstriker Motormaster - Animated Optimus, as before. Another Botcon exclusive ticked
