2010 - the best year for TF toys yet? (Image heavy)

And who's this ****?

Judging from the chestplate that's going to be Rumble/Frenzy/whatever your taste is.

I'm not sure if it's any better or worse than what FansProject did. :ambiguous:

I went to a Toys R' us near me, they've got a good many Straxus in there, plus Darkwings aplenty.

Made me feel a bit of a **** for buying them from BBTS

Just curious. What's the price difference?

[snarl]

Don't even know - but adding shipping, possible customs duty, it's bound to be more.

Darkmount probably costs about a tenner in TRU. I reckon it probably cost about £15 or a bit more getting him from BBTS

It's £9.99 from TRU but when you add postage on top it comes to £14.95.

I went back to FP today and they'd restocked on Straxus, so finally picked one up (at £15). I dare say it's a very nice figure.

Must confess I'm a little disappointed how most the 'revised' decepticons are turning into tanks of some sort - can't hasbro have a little more imagination?

When are they going to do a new version of Shockwave??

I like 'em, but I'm pretty disinterested in buying. Not completely, but mostly. Mostly, I'm more choosy as to how I spend my money, I suppose.

Why couldn't this have all come about five-ten years ago, when I was more inclined to buy toys and had less bills?

That said- I bought an Arcee and a Bludgeon and probably will buy WFC Megs and probably Soundwave if I come across them at a time I have money.

I think it was Bludgeon that pissed me off by having stressed plastic right out of the box, though.

[bumblemusprime]

God ******* damn it all to ******* hell.

I am seriously going to spend over three hundred bucks so I can have Megs, Starscream and Grimlock MPs. And that's if the eBay bids don't go up.

I really like some of the USB ones, like the PC mouse that turns into a dinosaur!

Saw a bunch of them in Tokyo and really wanted them along with an isobot, a really tiny laptop I found and Cloud Strife + motorcycle.

[Best First]

Got Grimmers a few weeks ago - opted for the TRU version as i don't really need an apron on my dinobot.

He is super, altho he is probably less impressive than some of the other MPs in that he is essentially just a larger, better articulated version of the original toy - i guess with the fact he doesn't have a 'realistic' alt mode it changes the game a bit, altho they could maybe have got more ambitous and given us a more techno organic T-Rex.

Anyway, still love him. Red eyes for me!

Is Megs any good? he looks abot spindley.

[Hot Shot]

Is Megs any good? he looks abot spindley.

The design is fine, but the joints are weak and floppy, the metal tarnishes/rusts, and the plastic is brittle. He's the worst Masterpiece figure so far IMO. Not worth the price at all.

[Kaylee]

I'd disagree. Really love my megs, he's not perfect but not much takara could have done differently given the requirements.

I think I had a review of him up here ages ago?

[saysadie]

Also opted for the TRU Grimlock, just as good, much cheaper. It's been the only new toy in a couple of years or so to get any sort of real joy out of me upon opening.
