They're already sold out of Jetfire.  They were sold out yesterday, so I gave links to BBTS and Entertainment Earth instead.

But you know what Pulse isn't sold out of?

MP-60 Ginrai

MPG-09 Super Ginrai

Prices are $159.99 and $279.99, respectively, and they're available at BBTS, Entertainment Earth, and other US-based toy stores.  TFSource is probably bummed that they had to drop their $300 price to compete with all the other US stores that waited for the official price.

Anyway, I caved and preordered MPG-09.  I have issues with some of Takara's design choices, but Powermaster Optimus is the only Optimus I had as a kid, and MPG-09 is hitting my nostalgia button.

Jetfire is still available in the UK (where I am) 😁 but they don't list the MP's on UK Pulse - so I got those from Anime-Export.

couple re-issues of some figures have gone uo on Hasbro Pulse - notable is the Seige Jetfire

Ginrai is up on AE if anyone looking.

I'm big mixed on this release - on one hand Power Optimus Prime - as I knew him - was my 1st Prime. Not much a fan those arms in trailer mode sticking up - I mean the posts above of the animation and old toy don't stick up that much - and this is meant to be "master piece"

I'm kinda 50/50 on the Turtles. On one hand, I dig it, but on the oher hand I rather have an actual robot that scanned the van and transformered, rather than the van being a Turtle. For me, it's why I was never a fan of those Star Wars x Transformers crossovers, where a TIE Advanced became Darth Vader or looked like him. I prefer the Ectotron or Giggatron style where it's a unique bot that scanned the vehicle and has some nostalgic bits thrown in. MP60 - tempting as most the MPs are, but again dissapointing there is no trailer, etc. Knowing tt, they probably do some MP60+ version with a trailer or anime colours or whatever, but ngl it was my first prime back in the day, so hits a spot for me

MP-58 Hoist Official Video

PSA preorders up for MP Hoist and MPG Kaen 

Masterpiece Trailbreaker official video. 

So managed to get around to checking my Haslab Victory Saber, especially given all the issues I've been reading about lately. Thankfully aside some paint spray here and there I think I lucked out and nothing wrong so am happy with him. Hope they improve things with deathsaurus. 

crazy theory:

so this is like an unlicensed repo right? Kenner was bought by Hasbro right so won't they just stop on this or they don't care. Heck why Hasbro doesn't do a run even limited or a haslab is bizarre. 

10 to 1 they slap normal cobra logo, tweak the paint apps and stick it into retro classified line 😉

So Velocitron Scourge is available for preorder on Pulse but already sold out on the UK site and not available on the German one. Meh… 

he sold out pretty quick on the UK site after he went up - I was on fence then missed out. You based UK? I was in a Smyths Toys and they are carrying the Velocitron line too. I saw like a dozen Cosmos (out of stock on Pulse UK) but sadly no Scourge yet - but worth checking.

A bigger bomb

Holy Trailers! Batman!

I saw the 1st in 3D in the cinema and was blown away since it was filmed to be in 3D. I still enjoy it overall in 2D too. This sequel, just feels like the same of the 1st, just moved the plot away into the ocean now. i.e. Navi happy, humans come back, want unatainium or whataver , big fight, Navii win, queue Avater 3. Will probably still watch it but hope it brings something new.

Congrats! Definitely a great set of Seekers to own.

How did you get your Skywarp so quickly? I'm still waiting for my pre-order to be fulfilled.

I managed to snag one from Mandarake after release. I'm based in UK and shipping is pretty quick from there for me. I missed out on pre-orders so paid a bit more for it. I wanted to how Starscream turned out before jumping. Hope yours come soon.

Hikaru decided he had enough of VFs and took Thundercracker for a spin.

quick question for folks who have the VF 1D. Does the cockpit instrument panel come off easy? I was checking mine, put Hikaru inside cockpit and notified the black block of the instruments moved. Pulled and whole thing came off. It's not broken or anything maybe a case of missing glue or something. It slides in time and is ok. Just curious if this is a common thing?

Loving the MP seekers managed to get a full squad and my first time having all 3 

so for the curious....

based on reddit post below - probably on purpose?

very strange though.
