Either Blitzwing or Windblade. Both fall under the "lol QC issues". Roadbuster also is kind of boring outside of his weapons.

Christ
for those things that you can't help but wonder why the fuck they're so expensive.
this isn't for shit like Chogokins that STARTED Expensive and are obviously ALWAYS going to be expensive. this is for stuff that might have been at tops $50-ish at retail, but are suddenly way the fuck too expensive for their own good.
Anything from the 80s
The new anniversary digivices.
I really want one, but there's no way they are worth what people are paying.
>>5786158
There's no way they're worth what Bandai was charging. $100 for a toy that's slightly modified from the original version. Really?

hey guys
does anyone know where can I find instructions/fanforums for those awesome minibuild loading screens for each planet?
>>5785825
If you're going to find it anywhere, check a LEGO forum. No one on here is creative enough to do it.
>>5785833
was hoping for a link, but thanks anyway, I'll keep digging

it still burns me that this is the only hotline figure that will ever exist

...Mate were you asleep under a rock when they released the Biker figure?
>>5785761
I mean its not THAT bad, the fact that its over priced is the real tragedy. even the additional masks you can buy for it are 3x the price of the original game
>>5785958
It actually IS that bad, at least in my book. I had more than enough money to afford this, but couldn't justify it due to the fact that it looks like absolute shit.
- Clothes fit very poorly, it looks more like a college kid's shitty Jacket cosplay assembled at Goodwill
- Poor selection of fabric, leading to hyper-oversized grain on jeans. Companies like ThreeA learned to circumvent this look with better materials.
- Shitty weapons. The sword was bending even in the promo images, the shotgun...

I know that a lot of 1/6 scale toys often get bought and parted out on ebay, but is the same common of ThreeA's stuff?
I want the Imago Loop (pistol) that's going to be coming out with two of their three Destiny Hunters but also do not want to spend $190+ on them.
Any options available would be appreciated. If I buy the Warlock, I'm considering offering the Thorn that it comes with to someone for an Imago Loop, but I also don't know where I'd go for that. Kind of out of touch with social toy spaces of late.
When are the actaul release dates for those figures? It just says that
They are taking preorders.
>>5786068
ThreeA's actual release dates are nebulous. It's just how they work. Even the times when they do announce a concrete date, it often gets delayed because they have a bad habit of taking on too many projects at once and biting off more than they can chew. So basically, you lay down your money, and the toy will arrive at some point in the future. It's kinda annoying, but they are at least a legit operation, you don't have to worry they'll take your money and run or something.

Yes, ThreeA constantly gets parted out. Dunno if it'll happen with the Destiny stuff as I think it'll be worth more as a single unit. But ThreeA's community has a decent amount of customizers that buy parts or sell parts. I used to buy full figures for a couple pieces I wanted and parted out the rest. Usually made my money back. :)
We hit bump limit.
Which Titanwars figure are you excited about most?
>>5785129
i want the new megatron.
>>5785129
Wave one set.
Wave two isn't as exciting for me baring the Titan Masters
The theoretical Legends Gnaw and Kickback.

that's because you didn't realize that buzzclaw's alt mode could be repurposed into a top tier big blue eyed kawaii qt pie.

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.

>inb4 10 cents off downy paper towels
I was able to get G2 CW Bruticus for 30% off during their lightning deal preview sale thing.
I have a few questions for people who are probably more knowledgeable than myself. I already know all the stuff about avoiding heat, humidity and sun exposure but how about storing toys? Is there any rules I need to take into consideration?
I have too many toys in my collection and my place is super small so I have to rotate stuff out but some stuff i've left in boxes for years. Is that a problem? Should I just open them up every now and then or do they need to be removed entirely for prolonged periods of time?
Also, when storing toys in their original boxes...

You may want to take them out once in a while to avoid possible paint transfer on the clamshells if necessary (which is why some figures have plastic wrapping, like SAS).
And in some areas, move the joint avoid paint getting stuck inside the joints. This also applies to out-of-box figures, but it's something that's only an issue if it hasn't been touched in a long time.
A lot of people say that plasticizers may leak/may leak after after they've been stored in their boxes for a long time, but I have no experience with that personally so I can't...

>may leak faster*
Also, if you have anything stored in plastic ziplocs or whatever, get them acid-free.
>>5779745
Cardboard boxes tend to be a magnet for dust. Its a good idea to wash them with a damp sponge every few weeks to clean them off.
