Is...is there anywhere which sells *all* of the Core Dinbots currently released (or on pre-order)? Asking for a friend. -Ralph I have at least one of all five still in stock. I haven't had solicitations for Snarl yet. |

Does the PCON on the Dinoking listing imply he'll be a Pulsecon thing? |

I finally cracked and got a Core Dino: Swoop. He is nice.
Then my brain said: you must now get the other five. However, Scaar and Snarl are made of Unobtainium so I didn't bother.
Having 1/6 is somehow less annoying than 4/6.
I had assumed there would have been a box set of the Dinos after they all came out. Seems like money left on the table. I imagine many fans would have cracked with that option.

I've seen Phil's Core Swoop and he is a rather nice little 'bot.
Still a little bit tempted to grab one of them instead of waiting on the Studio Series one. It would be amusing to have a Dinobot Team composed on one MP, Three Studio Series, a deluxe and a Core... Also a lot cheaper and easier on the amount of space it would take up...

A little while back, I broke down and got the full set in one fell swoop ... 😏
An eBay auction cropped up and the price was livable, and the seller very pleasant, so I caved.
I love small transformers, I am mostly a legends scale guy these days, and I love combiners, and I have very few dinobots.
I had been resisting because... Well, they are lackluster at best. Swoop is the best of them a charming little fellow, and a couple of the others are allright.
But there are a couple that really should have been better.
I have picked up an upgrade set, it definitely greatly improves the combined mode, enough that I'm thinking of picking up another more comprehensive upgrade that gives all the chaps individual weapons and the gestalt a nice sword.
Am I sorry I got them? No.
Should they have been significantly better? Yes.
The sporadic addition of the odd weapon is befuddling, not as rage inducing as core skywarp without nullrays so he can have his cosmic salad spinner... But still annoying.
If you can piece together the team, and more importantly get an upgrade kit or two, than I would say it's worth it, mini volcanicus is a charming little fellow to have stomping about the work bench.
I do want to pick up another swoop, scar, snarl, and grimlock for combining shenanigans. It's a pity snarl is so hard to come by, he is rather good.

That looks like a fun set! I prefer it to the Dinobot versions.

It looks...as good as a Dinoking made out of those toys was ever going to look. Two or three years ago this would probably have tempted me. Now it kind of just feels like another nostalgia piece amongst so many and it doesn't capture my interest anywhere near the way something like Filch or Jawbreaker does.

I'd be interested... but guessing impossible to get without being at the convention?

It's for Pulsecon, coming later in the year though Pulse. So, probably impossible to get unless you use Phil's membership to bag one before non-members are allowed at it.

This is what I'd been waiting for! (The Dinoking, that is.) Once again my patience pays off. Now I just have to be a little bit more patient. But I will be having that, because it looks great. Disappointing that there are no shells, of course, but there was never going to be - and that would have at least doubled the price.
Now, odds on this being repurposed again as Monstructor..?

For the Legacy Evolution Combining Dinobots these are made from see tmukhub.proboards.com/thread/11820/legacy-evolution-core-combining-dinobotsRairyi (Sludge) has new back legs, presumably to take the pegs of the foot weapons: you can see the slots on the knees of Dinoking's combined mode Yokuryu (Swoop) & Gairyu (Scarr) have new weapons that form the hands Most of the individual robot heads are changed, is Yokuryu (Swoop) the same? Others all have new weapons and Dinoking has a new head |

I've seen a picture elsewhere that confirms that Yokuryu does indeed have a different head - although they are very similar.
