This is terrible! Guys we gotta help Tomwe!
Nowhere has any pre-orders left?
Amazon got Snarl suddenly out of the blue late on. I waited for their pre-order 'cos I had an Amazon voucher, but it kept saying 'unavailable'. Then, after I'd secured one from elsewhere, after Snarl had already come out, boom they he was in stock.

I don't have a preorder either but this is a retail toy, there are bound to be some around at some point.

Yeah I appreciate Shockprowl's enthusiasm, but I'm over the panic stage.

They will shelfwarm in Smyths. £55 TF's at general retail for general punters don't shift fast.

Snarl's 3p gun has arrived and he is very happy with it I meanwhile have been labelled a traitor for not getting the very busy and overworked blueshift to upscale one for me. But seeing them all here with guns and swords got me thinking..... Snarl needs a gun, launcher, and his sword redone in red
Swoop needs a red chest
Slag needs his launcher and a black face
Sludge needs his rifle
Grimlock needs his launcher and a clear neck Constructicons are coming and could well get a Devastator boxset tmukhub.proboards.com/post/525907/threadMenasor got a toy colours boxset Toy Coloured Dinobots Boxset? |

Studio Series 69 Devastator (Revenge of the Fallen) contains: Leader Constructicon Scavenger
Deluxe Constructicon Hightower
Deluxe Constructicon Scrapmetal
Voyager Constructicon Skipjack
Voyager Constructicon Long Haul
Voyager Constructicon Scrapper
Leader Constructicon Overload
Voyager Constructicon Mixmaster So yeah, I think 5 leaders is doable. |

For my own sake, if they’re toys I would want, I hope not. That’s going to be a very expensive box set. Spreading the cost over a year or so of individual releases would be fine, but not all in one go.
That said I used to want toy decos on these, but I had the first four all out together the other day and thought they look pretty great and fit in well with WFC/SS86 etc. From a toy deco perspective, just give me Missing Link Dinobots!

The POTP Dinobots remain the best modern Dinobots. -Ralph Having owned over-sized KOs of all six of them, I'd second this. They are genuinely fun toys for fiddle with, and the Swoop is quite frankly a candidate for the best Swoop that Tomy, Takara or Hasbro have ever designed. Karl |

The limbs are, though Grimlock is possibly one of the worst modern voyagers.

On the bright side that puts it on the other side of a payday from TFN expenditure for those who have that calculation to make as well...

But will this delay Skarr Shockprowl for life? Even though it has, as the Kaptain points out, Slashed the budget for Auugust
