Ah that explains the huge size difference.. but warbo is still about 2 heads taller i estimate?

Yeah the arms are a little bit of a turn off, but i have to see more pics and reviews first then.. maybe there are ways to fix them

QUOTE(tnsai @ Jul 3 2014, 08:42 AM)
Bro, that is not TFC.. It belongs to MakeToys
No doubt the size is nice, but those arms... that said, it's on my KIV list hehe..
*
Yup.. i stated i got the wrong devastator laugh.gif but i'm too lazy to find the proper.. but i think the size is about the same iinm?

i would go for warbotron's (WB) non bruticus since no one doing bruticus. Computron Maketoys is doing it too... so i skip computron by WB... gonna boikot WB after their non-bruticus. tongue.gif
*
Why boikot tongue.gif they're quite alright.. just that they failed to predict the popularitu of their bruticus.. i don't really blame them that much.. because what are the alternatives? Overestimating the popularity, overproducing and fail to sell? Then they'd burn after 1 release and i don't think any company would want that.. just hope for the newer ones they properly gauge popularitu and market demand whistling.gif

Also where is WB02 images? mad.gif

u watched only 1 time after so long? u not collecting any movie line figures? If these 2 answer are yes, then.. its ok that u duno them blush.gif

* my fren din collect figures, only watched them few times, and till now he still thought sideswipe is a decepticons cos his face looks evil.. so it is actually normal cos the truth Bay movies really all jump and boom too fast.. tongue.gif
*
Typical rule of thumb is autobots more colorful, more humanlike.. decepticons are like monsters, grey and metallic, spikes or sharp edges all over whistling.gif typical mbay style

Lockdown is different because he has no allegiance whistling.gif so felt like he's a mash of both elements

Well i'm sure everybody now thinks Devastator is supposed to be a big dog with testicles wink.gif

Ah, one of the reasons why alot of TF fans are hating on mbay now laugh.gif

Trying to get some of the wreckers. Namely Perceptor. Anybody know where I can get it at a good price? Ebay seems OP'd (cheapest was rm 120 for loose but complete)
*
You're out of luck.. perceptor is one of the most scalped figures whistling.gif

Or if some people are concerned with the word scalped.. then lets say that's the market price now whistling.gif mainly because any lower and scalpers will gobble it up and put it back out and ensure market price remains market price whistling.gif

hmm.. not easy to see 3rd party ori in less than 150? is it each or whole  combiner? blush.gif

btw, they hire hasbro colorist? why must make it looks so KO?? sweat.gif
*
it's the whole combiner.. according to benscollectables on youtube, they hired TFC to do the design, then manufactured by a china company
i'm not sure why it's so cheap though, if it was the material used or just because they don't want to charge as high as other 3rd party companies.. but some people seem to say it's quite alright in terms of quality

I saw this YouTube review of Warbotron not Brawl and noticed that the connector piece to the combined mode foot is a separate piece. Can anyone here take a snapshot of the area where the separate piece pegs to? Would like to know how secure is the connection...

Very surprised about this design que... Can it withstand the weight?

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

i'm not sure how it will work, but i noticed those pegs and they're basically 2 roughly 5mm-ish peg holes on both sides.. as for how secure it will be, right now the legs peg together quite well and i think it would hold the separate piece fairly well

the circled portion there seems to be the location it will peg in.. but of course, we didnt get the part to peg there so i can't comment much on stability, but in terms of pegging and holding, the legs do fine

Third party companies make big money from using Transformer's popularity for free. Without the name of TF, they sell at RM110. So now who says third party products are rather more worthy to buy compared to Hastak, and the bullshit like they need much more setup fee to design and make the mold and marketing and distribution as a small player.  rclxub.gif
*
you might call it bullshit.. but fact is, we still pay because their designs are FAR SUPERIOR to hastak.. if hastak would step up their game, then maybe 3rd parties have to lower their prices to remain competitive

as it is now, people are willing to pay Leader class prices for Deluxe size figures simply because 3rd parties are giving them what they want rclxub.gif so, sadly, right now they can run the market however they see fit as long as they keep producing what collectors want

I mean it's bullshit because they are selling at very high prices with no license paid and low production costs, no matter how good the designs are, and in fact not all of them justify the price with the quality and design too.
not all Hastak stuffs are bad, and not all third party stuffs are good neither. Sad thing is that ppl are calculative when making decision on buying nice MP cars such as prowl, lambor, as it's exactly what you said "Leader class price for deluxe class size", but on the other hand, made PO for third party stuffs with a finger-snap.  rclxub.gif I dun understand what is the mindset in some of these collectors nowadays.
I have third parties stuffs, but I don't blindly buy third party stuffs because it is premium. Again I have to re-iterate, if one day third party stuffs set their price lower, ppl don't buy anymore, you get what I mean.
*
i'm not against what you said, i was just reminding that the fact of the matter is, people are still paying because their products are undoubtedly superior (or at least, most are) and people are willing to pay right now
yes, even the quality and design may not be justified in some sense, i completely agree, but unless people stop buying 3rd party things, they'll happily just take our money and unless hastak step up their game, most of us will still happily give 3rd party companies our money

i'm not biased, i love some 3rd party stuff but some have been quite disappointing, and hastak have visibly been improving their figures (i'm pretending TF4 figures don't exist), i'm looking forward to figures like skybyte and roadbuster..

perhaps it's because 3rd parties are filling the combiner shaped holes in our hearts that hastak failed to deliver, and they're capitalizing on that.. it's only business and they'll go as high as people will still pay for em.. like when you said, when people stop buying, that'll be the day.. peace

i don't blame the toy engineers, but seeing Crosshairs in the movie makes me dislike the toy even more.. it was supposed to flow behind him like a coat, but i really don't see how they can translate it into the figure, so i blame Michael Bay whistling.gif

they could, but you'd either have a half soft rubber car, or a really kibbly figure with all the plastic car parts all over the place anyway whistling.gif

Nice grab HxiiiK. I wish I could find that Optimus. The no-faceplate on the regular one ruins the whole figure for me.

I'm thinking of testing out some 3rd party TFs, Masterpiece line is moving too slow for me.

Apart from all the combiners, what are some of the more recent 3p must haves?

Thank you folks...

If you're into masterpieces, i hear the fanstoys (FT) dinobots are good, Scoria (not slag) has just been released if i'm not mistaken

And as everyone suggests, Mastermind creations (MMC) Terminus Hexatron is impressive as well

My seekers arrived. Unboxed and played with the 1st one I chose randomly hehe

Alt Mode:

Bot mode:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Honestly, when I read some reviews that said it will have some issues I was a bit worried, but after getting them, the worries are gone. In jet mode, all the panels tab properly makling for a pretty nice looking plane mode. In bot mode, the chest do have some trouble tabbingin one side.. but with a bit of pushing in, it actually holds on from the friction.

Overall, I gotta say I'm pretty pleased with them.. so far my Generations collection have been pretty one sided towards the autobots.. now I have 6 voyager sized seekers to add to the decepticon army biggrin.gif

i quite like the design of the chest and facesculpt drool.gif how much did u get them all for? and how do they scale with the classics seekers? tongue.gif if u have them
