Transformers MPG-17 Optimus Prime (Style Gen.) In robot mode

I feel reasonably confident in speculating that this was conceived for a different line that isn't happening and was later shoehorned into MPG to get that $Optimus, because it doesn't feel like a MP. Feels like a third party MP-10 derivative. Not bad, but you have been here before.

More reasonable, but imo, for it to actually be a "Grail" it has to be nearly or actually impossible to find. Probably should carry consequences too. G1 Unicron comes to mind. One could break into Takara's offices or archives to get it, but they probably won't let you take it along to jail

TF fandom throws that term around way, way, way too loosely. Kinda at the point where I just let people sound stupid with it, but it is a pet peeve

Free shipping is at $200 and the item is $199.99 🫠

Blokees Transformers Defender Version Optimus Primal (Gorilla)

Oh sweet, I got Harambe

I thought at one point they mentioned them combining, but I haven't tried to mess with them to see if that holds water. My gut says there's no way unless they release some frame-like structure to hold the plethora of artifacts that are just baubles with a 5mm peg

No judgment here. 1) I own one too and 2) it's a pretty deco for Optimal Optimus

Hopefully something cooler than another wheel of fortune

Yep. Dumb things #8,000,001 and 8,000,002 in Skybound Transformers right there.

I'd buy a David Ayres and only David Ayres

Nice, looks like a Gattai version too. Those are nice

Fate / Strange Fake getting wild

Denpa must be absolutely last in line for the printers. The only other series I follow that they publish has the same shit happen with constant, not insignificant delays

Love/hate that mold

I'm still waiting on these cowards to produce an isekai spinoff starring Thrust. Step 1 (getting hit by Truck-kun) is right there

Transformers Age of the Primes Prima with Achai upgrade parts, Toyhax labels, and very minor custom paint applications applied

I think I'm done adding things to this now

Not when you're on camera and half the set is teeny tiny to the point of requiring a knife and toothpick 🫠

I'm on day 8 of working on Prima's stickers here and there. Chore-tastic, this one. Was a quick reminder of why I quit buying these things. Happy for you guys though.

Only if model kits count. Toys though, nope. They get opened right away.

And Highbrow still won't be out

That's the Maketoys version (take the over)

Hmm, ok. I'm waffling between 10.5 or 12.5

@kurthy.bsky.social Can you set the line for over/under on '86 Seekers? Or do you just want us to guess numbers?

Guilty as charged

That happens with all of them. The variables there are 1) whether or not you can get an order in before they sell out, and 2) how long their site will crash for right after they list it.

Outside of the Constructicons I buy a good deal of their stuff because no one else is making most of these characters. It's not like I can go buy MMC Omnibots or something. MMC would never take a risk (unless it's on a Batman-themed repaint)

Yep!

I am now done with the upper body. Typical XTB. It was borderline "good XTB" up until the part where you clip the top half of his torso to his ab area, then it immediately dropped to the "same old XTB shit" tier

I've only gotten this far. Stuck in meetings for awhile. My only initial impression is that the colors are completely wrong
