I see that Hasbro has revealed a "fit in my display cabinet" mode for Unicron...

So are the intake covers on the Legioss articulated, or is that a parts swap?

Looks like the GX-71 is back up for preorder on BBTS.

Vehicle Voltron just went live on bbts 8 minutes ago.  Took me 8 minutes to check out.  Limit 1 per customer and only limited number available.

Yeah, same for me. The BBTS site is really chugging right now.

If only DX valks were this easy. 

No kidding. Thanks for the heads up!

Wow...

Doing some resin 3d printing, opened a new bottle of 91% IPA and got a small splash for about 30 seconds onto one of my Sentinel figures, and the coating immediately discolored and peeled/bubbled...

 

That sucks. The Vallejo Mecha paint line may have a color that's a good match for the Mospeada.

GX-71 preorders are open again at BBTS

man this needs a targeting system

I think the idea of the funky helmet visor is that the targeting system is a HUD.

I was thinking the same thing...I wonder if this means they're getting it sooner than usual compared to Japanese sites?

I doubt they're getting it sooner. I imagine they're making an educated guess as to what their stock will be and are trying to get PO business locked down ahead of the other sites.

Preordered on BBTS. NOW WAS THAT SO HARD, BANDAI?

Struck out here. Maybe it's a sign I don't need to get into the DX line.

What's the HLJ link?

On BBTS

Sold out already? What the heck?

Jeez, that was fast. I been looking out for preorders all week and it's all over while I sleep. Hopefully limited Japan stock means more for US retailers.

I still have my old Matchbox vehicle Voltron back in my workout/model room, for some reason I liked that version more as a kid, I mean the lions are epic and legendary, but I always had a soft spot for the vehicle one, so I'm looking forward to the SOC version!  I wonder if Bandai will come up with an ingenious way of dealing with the wheels as robot feet issue???....

Voltes V has wheels on its feet as well, right? How did Bandai handle that chogokin? (I don't have it)

While we're on the subject of SD valks, for those of you who do have interest, the KitzConcept SD Valks are huge in comparison to jokemachines and some flavors can be had pretty cheap directly from KC.

Thanks for the tip, Jenius! The KC site currently has a sale on Max & Milia that is good enough for me to give in to my M&M completionist compulsion.

My problem is that between the five I haven't actually seen much of the G1 reissues besides Hot Rod.  I got lucky and grabbed the only Devastator I ever saw.  No Starscreams, no minibots.

Try looking over in the electronics/movie section. There were no minibots in the toy aisle at my local Walmart but they had a big display in the movie area for Bumblebee, with bins full of minibots.

I wonder if the inclusion of the Starscream head accessory with OP 3.0 is a hint at another upcoming update...

So have we talked yet about the possible timing for a US/Hasbro release of MP OP 3.0? MP-10 got a couple releases here, stands to reason 3.0 will as well, the departure of Toys R Us notwithstanding. I can see a more budget-priced version (perhaps with fewer extras, maybe even without trailer) showing up over here before too long.

Great news on Yellow and Broughsuperior types. Looks like maybe the front end of Yellow's bike can open up to reveal the missile launchers.

Got my Ray from BBTS today. The shoulder guards stay on better but the ankle guards fall off if you breathe on them. All in all on-par with Stick, QA-wise.

Wow you got Rand? Did you order Scott? I'm guessing my email is coming. They got two of my Scott's in. Now I need my two Rands

I did not order Scott from BBTS, only Rand. (I'd already bought Scott from HLJ) So it looks like maybe they got both batches in at the same time.

Just got pre-order arrival notice from BBTS for my Ray! The long-awaited day has arrived!

I'm disassembling my Beagle to try to clean up some of its yellowed parts. Anybody have advice on how to remove this screw cover in the rear? (It's a screw cover, right?)

As for BBTS No one yet has theirs (yet i believe) as BBTS still don't have them in stock. Timeframe of a Month or 2 have been thrown around. That is of course if the Ever presence of the Legal Dept of Harmony Gold don't slap a C&D on selling them to BBTS.
 

BBTS got the Evolution Toys Legioss, so I think it's fair to expect the Sentinels will come through as well. But who knows, I'm eagerly awaiting for word on my order.
