Let's hope it comes the route Kapow have had the other platinums then.
Unite Victorion better be good too. I've just realised Hasbro Victorion is now past tense when it comes to UK sellers. I missed the Amazon.com cheap price and now it's on the way up everywhere.

Sorry but those colours are just beastly.
I though G2 Brawl was blue-ish? I had the G1 Brawl mold in blue one time. Looooong time ago. I think I got it from TRU.

I don't think someone who likes G2 can EVER complain about 'odd colouring choices', Big Phil....

Actually someone who likes G2 is the most qualified to judge and complain about poor decoes, because they have the most refined sensabilities.
It's like a wine lover contemplating and assessing vintage fine wines that the common Walmart customer would never appreciate, with their box wines.

Well that's one way of explaining it, he says, watching Colin Baker prancing about in his frock coat. There are others...

Sod's law as soon as I post I try brute force and they move!
On a separate note has anyone noticed any problems with onslaughts slot for his foot, I don't thi mine is cut right, there's a slanted bit which means swindle won't clip in properly.

Sod's law as soon as I post I try brute force and they move! Yeah Brawl's legs are a little annoying. You need the hole on the waist facing down if that's any help. On a separate note has anyone noticed any problems with onslaughts slot for his foot, I don't thi mine is cut right, there's a slanted bit which means swindle won't clip in properly. Can you get a photo of the offending piece? Not sure where you mean. |

ant get a decent picture because of the light; so ill try to explain a bit better lol! the slots where the other limbs clip into onslaught are really tight on him, that fine cause ive wiggled them to allow the limbs to clip in but with the left leg slot, only half of the slot is cut out, the back of the slot isn't grooved(theres some plastic still in it) and looks like its not been cut out properly. this causes a problem because Swindle wont clip it to the foot socket, just wondered if anyone else had this same problem?

RFC say Lio Kaiser was announced as $110 at SDCC, which seems pretty cheap for a Platinum paint job and new heads. They were wondering if that means Hasbro are piggybacking off moulds Takara have had done and that we might have another Computron situation.
I'd love to know the rest of Takara's plans for Unite Warriors. I'm desperate to see what they intend for Mrs Destruction because TFNation might be my last shot at getting a reasonably priced Hasbro Victorion.

It'll come in time I expect. I would think Kapow would be a good bet. They usually get the Platinum stuff.

I'm going to say it, and I don't care who scoffs. I like Victorion's colours. You see, I've always been intrigued by the idea this is a team from the Sea of Rust. These colours say Sea of Rust to me. It's a kind of rusty red, and the blue is like the bluey-grey of a battleship to me, the kind you always see streaked with rusty marks.
I'm not trying to justify it, because I know everyone hates it, but I don't mind the colours. They're alright by me.

And I shall not argue with that at all. If you like those colours... then brilliant. They don't do the same thing for me, but that's mostly because even after twenty years I've still not been able to escape from my moody goth period. But if you like Victorion, then that's brilliant, and you should not be ashamed. :-)

Ooh, I reckon Takara Victorion is going to be totally moody goth. Space for both in my world.
