@grymg, that Devastator looks great. Those G1 reissues really bring back memories. I had the separate Constructicons, but I remember getting the gift set for the Aerialbots.

Is it a WalMart exclusive? And is there something on the packaging that clarifies it’s a reissue? I’ve seen those reissues for a while but never was sure what made them different from the originals.

Am waiting for my super O and GM too from cdj...still stuck in jp..

Same here, I'm all in for all the 0080 releases.  I'm hoping 0083 will come next!

I haven't really paid too much in regards to Walmart's TF G1 Re-issue, as a link from the TFW2005 forums might help you out and note that its quite lengthy.

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/walmart-exclusive-g1-devastator-gift-set-reissue-g1-starscream-g1-legion-pack.1155632/

It's the re-release of the G1 TFs that has graced the shelves in the NA market with the re-print of the G1 packaging (in tri-lingual this time) for us that grew in the 80's era of the animated series and has collected the toys ever since.

Am also hoping for something from that series, but waiting for a MB....

I would also bite on a robot spirits on 0083, if they included lots of accessories which so far in the 0080, except the GM, they seem to have...

Nice, but I'm sure it wasn't as "supercheap" as it claims to be...  :unsure:

I finally found the perfect skateboard for Revoltech Mikey!  :D

Great shot! How do you like these guys? Do you have all four? I really enjoyed this cartoon (2012), but grew up with the 90s cartoon. I prefer this aesthetic. 

Id appreciate your thoughts on these guys if you have some time. I'm thinking about picking all four up. They didnt make a Shredder?

Yup Walmart exclusives in addition to reissue Hot Rod, Starscream, and some minibots.  

The last Devy was the Japanese Encore release, it had a different deco close to the cartoon colors, but I've heard it didn't tab together quite well in combined mode.  This reissue though tabs together well.  It doesn't have quite the heft of the original due to the cheaper plastic used but is pretty solid.  I did stress the hip connector piece but I don't think you can avoid it because the tabs are so thin.  The box also looks great but it's in matte cardboard, not gloss like the Encore or OG.

yeah I thought the Devy reissue seemed lighter than I remember from 30+ years ago, but wasn't sure if that was just my imagination.

Anyway, my daughter spotted my purchase, and long story short, devy is now standing in combined mode next to her massive cutie cars collection...:rofl:

The Infinite Justice just came in yesterday.

Also loving the GM Cold Type from the A.N.I.M.E line. The elbows and calf have hidden panels that get sucked in for crazy poses. It remains me of the Sentinel releases but something you can handle easily. I want to pick another two.

Can't wait for the Kamfper and Z-Gok E, both would be awesome to see in this line. Looking forward to the Hy-Gogg and GM Sniper II. And totally agree that there should 0083 suits in this line. I highly recommend the Cold Type to anyone that like 0080 or GMs.

Got a spare 1/50 BTAS Batmobile to go with the rest of the Bat vehicles.

Sweet Batmobile collection!

Okay, but like... not 7600.00 USD, right?

 

 

......right?

:o

Yeah, I would not spend that money on any two comic books but I can’t knock someone who does. I’ve spent way more than that on my comic collection but that amount would last me about a year’s worth including all the variants.

I don't mean to sound judge-y either (apologies if I come across as such). I've just never had anywhere near that amount of disposable income to... dispose, so the thought of doing so is literally incomprehensible to me.

Well those are some pretty special books in amazing condition and people have all kinds of different incomes and desires so it's all good. I also personally don't believe in supporting CGC or any other grading services but again, they have their place.

Thanks!

With that kind of money I’d get somebody to build me a 1/100 scale Daedalus and fill it up with HMR Destroids.

My HMR VT-1s arrived but I’ll bring them home on Monday.

I agree, the gm cold is really sweet, I hope they bring all the mechs!   I was tempted to get more but I gotta be patient for the other releases.

Damn, I can't believe you spent that much on comic books, but - vintage at 9.2 grade is super rare and hard to come by.  Will they ever see the light of day or straight to the safety deposit box?

I can't really complain about the money either, I dropped $17K last August on just watches.  But hey, I use them!!

Nice. Is that NY's blue bubble wrap?

Yeah.  They wrap the items with it well and always ship the package with extra.  It comes in handy.  After 2 months on a boat, the VT-1s arrived safely without damage.
