I DON'T LIKE IT, BIG PHOL! I DON'T LIKE THE USE OF THE WORD CAPSULE!!! I am with you, Shockprowl. These toys don't come in capsules so the use of that word in this context deeply irritates me. -Ralph

I'm taking some time this morning to try and get my head round the state of play so I can update the all important lists.
I've probably missed this somewhere - but in United Wave 5, has the PR for Origin BB replaced what we thought was going to be G1 Sureshot based on the pipeline reveals? Has Sureshot dropped off the radar for now?

We think so

Post by Pinwig on Jul 29, 2024 13:09:59 GMT
Right. So I've finally updated my lists. The general list of everything, and my lists of 'out, not bought' and 'coming, not pre-ordered'.
I think a couple of grand should cover all that.
Aahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh dear no. I tell you what, MotU has absolutely battered my TF spending.

I am in mourning for Sureshot. I've dug out the G1 toy to compensate.

We don't know for sure he's dead yet. And even if he is he'll be back somewhere.
For example I counted the leaked next line deluxes yesterday: 11 toys. Room for an addition in one wave there.

Post by Pinwig on Jul 29, 2024 21:18:48 GMT
It's interesting that he got as far as having a product number, but then got dropped from wave 2 and now it seems again from wave 5. I bet there's an interesting reason why.

Thinking about it, wave five is all reissues or straight repaints. There's no new moulds or even remoulding in that lot, Sureshot wouldn't fit that pattern. It's definitely a low cost filler wave. You wouldn't want to lose a G1 update like Sureshot in that.

Very appealing figure! Love the look of that. No idea why given Missing Link, but, uh, yeah.

Different market. Takara Tomy don't have the same price points as Hasbro so ML may not fit their business model.

Sorry, I mean I don't know why it appeals to me when I already have Missing Link.

Because at $100+, ML is something that you largely place on the shelf and look at. Meanwhile, this is a veeeeery similar standard deluxe, at the standard deluxe price, which makes it a much better fiddle toy.

Post by Llama God on Aug 11, 2024 9:15:07 GMT
Exactly. And it also has the C.O.M.B.A.T. C.O.L.I.N. connector ports, which means it'll go well with fiugres in the rest of the Generations line. Whereas ML Prime, as good as he is, who does he go with..? (Well, other ML figures. But you know what I mean.)
