well, just some shots of Blurr and his not-quite-so-straight rifle doing his best to imitate either a classic RX-79[G] pose or a Hikky-1S pose. damn rifle ain't straight most likely due to the way it was strung tightly in packaging. i'll straighten it out one of these days and prolly give it to my Cliffy-wfc.

fyi. as i'd mentioned in the tf-thread, there seems to be some N-Strike sale going on at Target. There were some at TRU, too. Most prominent is the Vulcan going for $29.99 at Target as a "temporary sale" thingy whatever. Dunno how long it's gonna last, tho.
-
Yeah, so as of tonite's retail-trip... Both nearest Target and Wally's have stocked up and filled up their TF-pegs with ROTFail figs. So if you're really dying to get your hands on Terradive/Tomahawk/Skids/Ravage/Elita-1/Jolt , well, there you go. TRU's even worst. Combino-crap and Ravages. They do have that huge Ultimate Bumblebee ($100). About the only thing good was that both Target and TRU has some decent sale on Nerf N-Strikes.

Great wonfest-pics, guys! Yammie's Fire Valk's actually pretty nice. Doubt I'll import it, tho, since I vastly prefer the Blazer version. and of course, the Nightmare 17. make it so, yamato!
-
oh, wow! almost missed this. lol! Rodimus Fail. again.
-
geezus, Hasbro. the Trailer's nice enough to be just as a frickin' trailer. it does not need to be a GIGANTIC FAIL like that damn stupid gimmick.
-
found and bought Blurr tonite at the local Target. even at $12 coz he's the only one on the peg. he was going for $15 at fry's last year. anyway, bunch of Bumblebee-RTS shelfwarming alongside Fallback. wait, Fall-who? Didn't he used to be an ROTF-fig? nothing much else. gonna be visiting the other nearest Target tomorrow for Kup.

...with skinny chicken-fingers!

tfw2005 has posted better pics of the dotm-Shocky: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/more-clear-images-of-dark-of-the-moon-shockwave-171347/

Yeah. Really gotta combed thoroughly thru all those Ravage and Elita-1 rotf-crap. Didn't find any at the local walgreens here, either. The local Target's been like Wally's: all ROTF crap and all priced at $12! The local TRU's even worse. They filled up their whole TF-aisle with the combino-crap stuff. Geezus...
-
Unless they've recently repackaged him, Blurr's a Generations. He's got the red-packaging ala WFC. The RTS packaging is drab-yellow/orange almost exactly like the ROTF packaging. That's how you can easily missed out on RTS figs like Jazz coz they're damn hidden among the ROTF-shelfwarmer crap.
-
hmmm. The bot-mode is not that bad. Doesn't have goat/grasshopper feet, at least. The alt-mode is...so meh.
-
Hikaru-1S, of course. Always. Really cannot have a "naked" Hikaru-1S. It'll be quite very wrong. The Roy-1S can do without the Strike-FPs, tho it does look better with 'em on. The 1A and the 1J really should not be paired with Strike-FPs, but if that floats your boat...
-
most of us here prolly already have the Minmay-collection was http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65081 while some have this ( http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65236 ) both have been long oop, however. this one ( http://www.hlj.com/product/CMS65031 ) is still available, tho it only has one Minmay DYRL-version figure.
-
As I'd posted earlier, the only thing I don't like with the Stampede was it's surprising lack of non-battery mode. Really don't know why Hasbro decided to gimped it that way since the Vulcan it is supposed to be supplanting has a non-battery mode. The Vulcan for me just have that immediate cool/fun-factor, whether tripod-mounted or sling-mounted. It just have a quirky presence. I reckon the jamming-issues people get with it just adds a more weird realistic charm to it.
-
It's also a damn heavy gun, so I'm not sure how much shipping will cost or any possible shipping-damage can be avoided. I'm not really that aware of any "specific method" or instruction-procedure with the vulcan. Maybe they'd added in some new instructional stuff to alleviate a bunch of early user-induced feed-errors that most likely will produce a jam. I reckon it'll be easy to figure out how to un-jam coz the vulcan itself is pretty simple. The only thing I can possibly suggest to you is to prolly disregard the ammo-box coz it was really quite obtrusive and adds alot of unnecessary reload-time if you have multiple belts, as it can only fit the default 1-belt.
-
I haven't had any jamming-issues or breakage with my old vulcan. I bought it when it first came out and it's still being used extensively by my nephews to this day. However, my 5yo nephew was not successful when he tried to use a different type of dart with the mag-belt, i.e. seemed like glow-darts just don't quite fire-out of the vulcan or even from the belt itself. fwiw, I bought it locally from wally's. i'm not so sure about the quality/reliability if you buy it online from amazon or hasbro-direct. it'll be quite a pita if you get a broken one via online.
-
pretty much. at least for the kids. get them in the yard or go to a park for it. along with the dogs, if you have 'em. the vulcan is still freakin' nice even just on display. 14yo and older, i rather suggest to go for the more-expensive airsoft route or, well, paintball route.
-
I gifted my youngest nephews with the Recon cs-6, the Longstrike, and the Stampede ecs last x'mas. They already had my old Vulcan-25 from a few years ago. The Recon was nice. I like the Longstrike better, but I wished it came with a bipod like the older Longshot. We just used the Stampede's bipod for it. The Stampede has nice extras and stuff, but quite a letdown coz there's no manual-mode at all. Prepare to stock up on six-D batts to use it.

might as well use the Grimlock apron and tie with it and take pix!

you guys are LOL-awesome! WANT MOAR SDF-1 ARM-FUNNEH PLS!

well, heads up, guys. Just got back from the local wally's and the deluxe-TF pricing (ROTF, WFC/Generations) are back up at $11.88 again over there. There were one of each of these: Megs, Dirge, and Soundwave, while bunches of Skullgrin and Thunderwing are shelfwarming with the usual ROTF-crap. The local Target has Cliffy (wfc) for $9.99 and Skullgrin still shelfwarming at $9.04 alongside ROTF-crap at $9. I also have not seen any of the RTS line at the local Target since getting Jazz a few weeks ago. fwiw, i just saw a new walgreens down here, but am too tired to visit to check on inventory and pricing there. maybe tomorrow.
-
got lucky at wally's today with these guys... Cliffy's not even showing up on their inventory, yet, but the sales-clerk just double-swiped Soundwave for it.
-
I really liked playing the demo when it first came out. I'm still just waiting for a disc-version since I just don't like downloading the full-version. I just don't like downloading any non-free full-version games at all.
-
I'm gonna try to find Tracks tonite since I'm hitting Wally's for the A-Team BD/DVD combo (if it exists there). I might just buy another Jazz if I find him again tonite. edit: well, that Wally's indeed did a huge restock tonite and the TF-aisle was since overflowing. overflowing with crap rotf-shelfwarmers, that is. all the pegs have are Ravage, Skids, Sideswipe, Arcee, Hailstorm... WTF!!!????!!!! what a *@#$()%*# wasted trip. even the A-Team bd/dvd combo didn't exist, so i had to settle with the bd-only version. dammit!
