You do know this is a collector's hobby, right? Plenty of folks will buy things sight unseen just because that's the collection.

How can a toy WITH NO PICTURE OR PRODUCT INFO sell out in hours??? -Ralph Well..... the character completes an existing set - Doublecross and Grotusque. We know there's a Titanmaster in it clled Dastard and, as per the linking theme for these special editions, a Solus Prime Master which probably has clear coloured bits like Megatronus in the Blast Off set. I paid up and I'll pay up for Punch as well sight unseen, especially now this one has sold out this quick. Blast Off at least took a few days. I think the "need all the Monsterbots" urge is high. No sign of it on Kapow yet |

I genuinely don't understand that though. I just don't get why folk would buy something when they don't know what it looks like. How can folk want to collect something unknown?
Not a criticism. I just...don't get it.

I'm getting fed up with IDToys being sold out by time I get wind of something. Comparing with Kapow they must order a fraction of what Kapow do. |

I too crave a third Monsterbot. But not sight unseen.

But 'Sight Unseen' was a good Star Trek novel! It had Admiral Riker in it, possessed by the alien tech thing that made Barclay super smart in that one episode of TNG.

It is indeed, very frustrating to come home from work to read a thread where a toy has gone up for pre-order and sold out straight away. Hopefully Kapow will be able to provide at some point. |

If I remember correctly from when I read TFW threads mroe regularly Kapow used to import stock (I think 3P mostly) on behalf of a couple of UK stores because non of them could justify the minimum order, well maybe Kapow could, but didn't want to take all the risk. No idea if thats still the case or if it applies here (or to real Transformers at all). |

Bollocks. After being smug about Blast-Off I am now un-smug having totally missed out on Repugnus. I think it sold out whilst I was cycling to work. Sods. Kapow is now my only hope!

All in one place: snakas.blog95.fc2.com/blog-entry-6586.htmlRepugnus is far better than I imagined, much more retooling. Punch looks like new tooling. If that's a combiner limb, then they've done a good job of hiding it! That's Drift's chest isn't it? |

Gotta be a WfC mold.

That is remarkably simple. Knee bends both ways pair of fists on rotating wrist joint, head spins around and shoulders turn 90 degrees.
For all the complaints about the toys getting cheaper, which are sometimes valid, it does sometimes lead to beautifully refined results.

You know what, that could be a combiner still.
I was assuming it had 2 heads, but it looks like its just one so if the head can stay in place in car mode, the cars wider than the robot so it probably can, there is room for a combiner port in the chest with the car roof opening at the waist.
It probably isn't but it could be.

Repugnus' head is a toy head.
If you want a cartoon one, use the previous Titanmaster!
