and man is that not the funnest transformation ever!

iLegends73 · 06-08-2012, 01:56 AM

ok i know this might be a long shot but i'll try here anyway. im trying to find 3 more vehicons and a 1st edition optimus. sounds crazy but i got the whole prime line up but im a sucker for scale and that 1st edition prime seems like the best fit. work with me ppl lol

Crazy Jetty · 06-08-2012, 02:24 AM

Give it time on the vehicons. Patience will be your friend. Because while still underproduced, it's slated to be in a fair few more waves. So it will eventually become much more easy to find. There's a big panic now to get it, but it *just* came out. Soundwave's now getting pretty easy to find, and Vehicon will too.

As for FE Prime, everything I've heard from all my friends who've gotten both the mainrun and first editions... FE Prime comes up extremely lacking to his mainline voyager counterpart. Bulkhead too.
The only reason the FEs are held in such high reguard is they're so hard to get, and this fandom tends to almost deify things they don't have.
The first editions are not more screen accurate, and most of them are extremely clunky first passes. (There's a reason Hasbro cancelled them to make newer, better molds after all)
So I'd suggest going for the regular version (BBTS has it on sale for $15, even), and avoiding placing yourself for disappointment.

shows how big a noob I am I thought everyone was going on about the legion class vehicon so I bought a couple to sell to arkers for cost and all this time it was the deluxe everyone wants

Then you just had to go and post a pic of Wave 3 deluxe Vehicon that I can't find.

And just to trump us both, ersico goes and posts a pic of FE Terrorcon Cliffjumper.

Well, I do know that there are some collectors who are army-building the legion version as well as the deluxe (I've got two and plan on getting one more), but the rub is that the legion version is far and away easier to find right now. I agree with Crazy Jetty point that the deluxe will get there eventually.

iLegends73 · 06-08-2012, 08:29 AM

@crazy jetty I just managed to snatch up another vehicon and had soundwave about a month ago put took him back cause I wasn't into the line like I am now. As for FE prime I only want him cause of the size. I'm a huge stickler for scale so I can't have OP being the same size as bulkhead. My ocd wont allow it lol. I will start checking out reviews on him but I just mostly need that one cause he's bigger
But thanx for the heads up on him

ersico · 06-08-2012, 09:10 AM

:P i do what i can

i got him cause of the clear plastic, i got a shot of vehicon riding vehicon last night

Actually, PRiD Prime is about a head or so taller than PRiD Bulkhead (but Bulkhead is definitely wider). I would post a pic, but I'm headed out of town for a week and won't have access to them.

Yup all from Hong Kong too.

DHeezy81 · 06-14-2012, 08:16 AM

I'm curious about that weaponizer OP. Never saw it, never heard bout it. I wonder if there are more voyagers coming?

MGTAJ · 06-14-2012, 09:25 AM

I don't collect Transformers, but a couple years ago I was gifted a Reveal The Shield Lugnut as a Birthday gift. Is it worth opening to display or selling it?

Yes, there should be Dreadwing as voyager size, that's the only one that I know of currently, and we're hoping for an Insecticon as well. Ironhide should have been but he's getting the deluxe treatment which kind of sucks, since his cyberverse is the commander class. Maybe DW is OP's case partner, I would hope

Open it...but since it was a gift you could make a couple of bucks, not one of those high end figures though I don't believe.

DHeezy81 · 06-14-2012, 02:11 PM

Nice, hopefully you got a good deal on these, cause I think HTS still has these up as well.

DHeezy81 · 06-14-2012, 02:47 PM

All 3 were less than $10 each.

Optimus Vader · 07-24-2012, 07:39 AM

The Transformers don't deserve to be buried, so I'm bumping this.

I bought Generations Shockwave last week (I'm a Classics collector) and wow is he tiny. I guess he mixes in well with the other Generations Cybertonian figs, but I like my TF leaders to be a little larger than their followers. Still a cool figure.

Just for the hell of it I decided to check Amazon/eBay prices on some MOC figures I have.. Classics/Generations Soundwave and Megatron are going for $40ish?? Wow. Seriously, I think all toys are a waste of money, but TF's seem to hold value way more than other toylines.

ersico · 07-24-2012, 08:03 AM

Optimus Vader · 07-24-2012, 08:52 AM

Who's that guy, ersico?

DHeezy, your Kup needs a stogie.

Stay off of his lawn!
