Fuck May Mayhem. Did you get Groovy?
Last thread >>5689352
>Groove drops this week
>Money tied up in pre-order payment requests & Kickstarters ending this week
Some really bad timing, this last week of May.
Reposting from the last thread. August pre-order for Groove on Entertainment Earth.
http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HSB8826#.V0ROyUYZ5q_
What will be the next scramble? Computeon?
You need to link the old thread to the new thread, retard.
>>5690862
Thanks, got a few to sell on when they're worth more.
>>5690868
What? speak-a da english, Hablo no espanol.
>>5690868
Hasbro's BlastOff.
God damn. After this and Exhaust, I want every MP Autobot to get a Decepticon doppleganger.
>>5690890
I wish they would confirm this. Mostly because I have Alpha Bravo, Rook, and Off Road now extra. If Blast off is never going to happen I need to pick up a fourth while they are available.
>>5690899
I didn't think I would double-dip on this mold, but... yowza.
>>5690928
Why did people hate it?
>>5690930
Those arms are inexcusable on a figure of this price for one thing. They don't even get to 90 degrees.
>>5690930
The best actual reason to hate it are the joints. His elbows and knees are ratcheted for almost no reason, and greatly reduce posability. Also the area behind his head and shoulders is a big gap, but it doesn't really look bad in person.
I've seen some people complain about the backpack's size and that it doesn't stay tabbed in, but I feel like they're just not doing it right. I can pick mine up by the backpack and it doesn't budge. Also, the size is accurate, so I'm not sure what they were expecting.
I've seen some other review videos that bitch about some of the most autistic shit, which is par for the course.
>>5690930
Some don't like the ankles, the high backpack and "floating" head.
>>5690928
I'm triple dipping, Gonna drown in some stingrays
>go to sleep

>apparently like 20 stores decided to drop Groove at random at midnight

Well, fuck.
>>5690937
Fun fact: The KO tracks actually has better joints, better backpack tabs, and real rubber tires.
>>5690963
>The KO tracks actually has better joints
Cool
>better backpack tabs
Awesome
>and real rubber tires
And then they fucked up.
>>5690958
Just do a partswap.
>>5690960
Mostly the big gap left because of it being that high.
>>5690967
Man, I don't have the money to shill out to get this new one AND Roadrage, to be left with a Roadrage with the wrong hips n' shit meaning I'd have to buy her again to have a proper one.
I mean, I WISH I had that money to burn, and some minor customizing skill to do her hips into a good colour, but I lack both of these
>>5690956
All I read is "I am not a dedicated hardcore true fan."
>>5690963
>The KO tracks actually has better joints
How so? I'm researching it but nobody seems to mention it.
>>5690978
Out off luck.
>>5690996
I'm out of time.
>>5690839
>Did you get Groovy?
Yes. Months ago. From Takara. While all the Hasbrocuck poorfags were going on and on making excuses about how Groove is inferior because he's out of scale and that the fugly clusterfuck chest Groove is better. Now those same poorfags are scrambling over a pre-order. Can't wait for the same thing to happen with Blast Off, if Hasbrocucks even DO get it.
>>5691006
Such obvious bait it hurts
>>5690999
How would you tell it is a girl robot without a face anyway?
>>5691010
It's not bait if it's true.
>>5691006
Honestly I got Groovy with Takara and bought Rook anyway. I was originally intending to give Blades to Superion so I could have an all-white-limbed Defensor and have a complete Superion without having to buy Air Raid (Britbong you sees).
And then Blades, Groove and Alpha Bravo broke. So much for that plan.
>>5691010
>Several baits last threat that anons gobbled up and fought over even when told they been had.
>someones posts a fairly true assessment of the stupidity that is CW Groove
>"it's bait"
what is wrong with this general's populous?
>>5691020
Problematic phrasing that doesn't account for the feelings of others was used.
>>5691006
I never understood how that issue happen: UW Groove was teased months before the CW Protectabots hit shelves. There was ample warning and it was a gift set meaning the hardcores that wanted the whole team should have gone that route.
Yet somehow everyone was ready to shit on Groove. But now that her became buyable everyone i scrambling to get him.
and it's online orders so Im really confused why they are fine blowing money on a single grove when they could have just spent 130ish back at release and gotten the whole team 7 months ago.
>>5691024
You can't be serious
Im getting baited now right?
>>5691019
I've heard of the helicopter molds breaking, but how did groove break?
>>5691024
>Problematic
>Feelings
Please tell me this is bait.
>>5691030
Same way as the helicopters- I inserted the HFG and it cracked the port.
>>5691037
Sounds like it was your fault.
>>5691024
Is that a fancy way of saying most here are thin skin faggots that make the community worse?
Because I already knew that, it's why I post here, I can make a single insult and it can derail the whole thread. Hell look at >>5691006
he points out a rather obvious truth about the community and boom that's all we are wasting time on now.
>>5691039
The HFG peg is too big for my hole, Onii-san!
>>5691037
So the plastic is really thin on that port too, do you have any pics of it?
For the person in the last thread:
The future Earth of "present" time Beast Wars is not in the same timeframe of the future Earth of BWII. "Present" BW takes place 300 years after Rebirth, while BWII takes place long enough ahead that nature has reclaimed the Earth.
>>5691057
I actually returned the set, and unfortunately I can't find the picture I took when I returned it to TFS Express.
It wasn't hugely thin (not like the helicopter mold anyway) but it was very cheap and wanky plastic. I also wonder if the f act the port is hexagonal had something to do with it (corners being natural locations for stress fractures- hence why aircraft windows have rounded corners).
>>5691091
>>5691098
I'm surprised a counter gif to images like this doesn't exist, with somebody removing the (you) in paint.
>>5691108
because you can test for authenticity
no edit is flawless and you can always find the flaws if it's fake.
>>5691108
because it's pretty obvious when it's removed
>>5691121
I mean, is it really though?
>>5691006
With the surge of shitters like this faggot, I had to take it upon myself to make some OC.
>>5691126
What? a drill?
>>5691108
Izitru, FotoForensics and JPEGsnoop can usually detect edits and something as simple as a paint/Photoshop edit, it would. The biggest telltale is if the image has archiving data showing it was saved over before.
So Fortress, is he the biggest disappointment everyone is saying, or can it be saved by 3p add ons?
>>5691126
your OC is bad and you should feel bad
>>5691129
You don't recognize that drill?
>>5691133
Do it better then.
>>5691135
I don't get the connection with a fishing hook, if it was his harpoon weapon, then, yeah, that'd work.
>>5691131
that's very detectable as well.
That said one could use a phone and a PC to "hide" it however then you just need to use on of the thousand plugs that tell you the general location of the posts and once again it becomes very obvious.
>>5691108
> Holding onto the delusion this hard...
>>5691135
do what better?
there have always been better bait images already
>>5691137
Couldn't find a good pic of the hookhand at the right angle for it. Just threw the pic together in less than a minute.

I feel you are not that well informed on how this all works.
I'd strongly encourage you to google up on the subject and understand that while yes you can make it harder to prove you are a samefaging it's never impossible to show otherwise.
This thread isn't even a 100 post in and already people are getting sore about Groove and fighting over stupid shit like proving samefaging
I'm trying to understand if this is due to the lack of new product to buy or if the user base just goes really dumb when online exclusives happen.

I don't think Titans Return is going to help anything, judging by the shitposting that's come out of the reveals thus far.
>>5691174

>>5691006

I honestly wouldn't even get Blastoff unless they fixed the color. Give me Takara's Blastoff in Hasbro's colors and I'd be all over that.

>>5691187
Not anon but don't you think you are going a bit to far to prove that two posts are the same person? Looking over the thread I don't see how it dramatically proves anything different. Hell neither post responds to itself so what are you really getting at? It's one guy that thinks people are pathetic for clamoring over CW Groove than two?
I usually have a high threshold for people's passion of arguing here but I feel this has gone way past losing control of one's self.
>>5691189
CW Shuttle in a color that actually looks like a shuttle when?
>>5691204
Protip: I'm a different person than the ones that started this whole discussion. I'm just throwing in my way of doing it because I think it's neat.
>>5691006
here we go again...
and to think the last few threads had some civil discussion
>>5691190
Was it? I'm pretty sure buying the 6 CS guys was about 110 msrb, UW was about 130 at launch. That said it's rather retarded to claim it's poverty that caused it where in both cases a 100+ is spent.
I always assume it's chicken shits that don't know how to import or impatient fags that buy up the CW that are available now vs waiting that extra 4 months
>>5691206
It could happen.
Had the g2 set used the shuttle mold, we would have a white shuttle, albeit with purple bits on it.
>>5691141
i like this one better
>>5691212
what last few?
I've been trending them since Thursday and All I've notice is:
The posters/user count is lower
Shitposting is out of control
>>5691215
Man, I really want Battle Gaia and Guard City.
>>5691206
If we got a Galaxy Shuttle out of that mold I'd be willing to buy that piece of shit mold once.
>>5691207
>I'm a different person than the ones that started this whole discussion.
that just makes this all the more sadder
>>5691215
I wish they waited on Titan Returns and milk CW just a bit longer, we could have seen some fun sets. At least we are getting gift packages of the remaining teams they thought up
>>5691224
I think lingering on the molds any longer would have been pushing it, but I think it's worth keeping in mind that once TR starts, we can still get gift sets of CW. G2 Bruticus, Liokaiser and Computron (and maybe a G2 Defensor, I hope) will all, at least partially, overlap with TR.
>>5691223
>>5691215
>>5691206
Don't forget this
>>5691214
The total for the CW 6 man team was closer to 95. Of course that's before taxes, but the UW set is $130 before shipping and it's only 5 members.
>>5691226
yeah but I fear low productions will happen after Vicky
I don't see them pushing CW much once TR gets rolling.
I fear Liokaiser and Computron will be hell to get.
>>5691226
Is right
>>5691224
there's always the conventions, they could do the more obscure ones through that, like Ruination.
>>5691228
I passed on CW/UW Bruticus on both fronts since I already have the FansProject set and I like those aesthetics better than Buff Swindle and Take-Off, but if we got Ruiniation colors I would be all over that shit
>>5691238

That Titans Return should basically have just been 1987 redone with no non-headmaster characters.

It's very concerning now.
This is a sign it's not appealing to the kids anymore,
>>5691298
this is great.
>>5691319
To be fair it's having the same issues as it did back in 87 where the market is just getting tired of the gimmick. Mix with the fact that Turtles and Super heroes are the hot thing with tweens and up it's no wonder the market is hurting.
I do find it funny 30 years later Hasbro is releasing Headmasters again when it was it's last strong line before the fallout of the brand that happen in the 1990s. Looks like 2020 will be the next radical take on the brand for awhile.

>>5691287
If they can solve the issue of distribution being fucked up by scalpers and retailers it could be a good thing. RIP in Pogroms wave 7 and 8 of DOTM
People like me are still getting fucked because I like the movie lines and they will most likely focus on G1 collectors and sideline the movie lines.
>>5691327
Not a single one of those things works. And why are you talking about ultra magnus? UM isn't in there.
>>5691330
Yes. Ninja Turtles was seen as the 80's giant killer but it was also Bat-man and DC. Marvel's X-men and Power rangers in 1992 paved the next major trend in toys and was seen as the TMNT killer, Batman stayed steady and was retired out for Superman TAS and Batman Beyond. This was also around the time Beast Wars showed up and brought life to the Transformer market.
>>5691332
>If they can solve the issue of distribution being fucked up by scalpers
Will never happen
As long as there are retards that will pay them they will always find a way to capitalize the fandom.

If scalpers can profit because the figures got discontinued and are in high demand, fine; but it should never happen that figures that are scheduled to be still on retail get scalped.

I think Playmation is Hasbro's way of testing the waters for integrating children back into their brands. A console independent digitally interactive system that requires figures would be a game changer if it ever catches on.
RiD has the app and its needlessly large stickers, but the game is not engaging beyond the branding attached to it. Hasbro can't go the Skylander/Amiibo/Dimensions route since Disney's recent cancellation of Infinity reveals the instability of the Console based NFC integrated figure market. Those were only inarticulate statues. Engineering transforming figures would need a larger budget and a far greater risk.
That, or a Hassy Collector market for dying brands struggling to maintain relevancy for an aging and shrinking market.
Don't worry if you missed Groove Anons, I should have about 50 of them in a few days up in my ebay store for a small markup at $45 each.
>>5690989
Watch reviews. His legs are stiffer
>>5691356
I feel the exact same way. I'm not big into MP figures (I have the ones I want), and I'm only lukewarm to what Hasbro has been putting out these days. If the mainstream TF line dies out, I don't really give a fuck.
>>5691379

But thanks for Scoop, Skybite, and that half-baked Minicon Combiner. Those were totally worth it.
>>5691417
Just wait until people from our generation start working at Hasbro. If literally who-tier action masters and micromasters can get homages, BW can too.
I already know if I ever manage to work for Hasbro, one of the first things I'd try to do is a Voyager Polar claw update. With an Automorph bat drone gimmick that turns it into a gun, better polar bear proportions,and the mutant mask gimmick made so that it comes down like a visor(or, works like Leader Jetfire's facemask).

>>5691298
Alpha trion has a great looking botcon figure, Galvatron has multiple options in terms of figures, Astrotrain has a decent classics deluxe, Scourge has a good deluxe already and Blurr has a fantastic deluxe.
The same cannot be said for basically all of the og headmasters.

Why is Perfect Effect's only competition their knock-offs? Why has no one else hopped on the upgrade train? Is making your own combiners so much more profitable?

Korea was still producing licensed takara mold brave toys and still making gangbusters when MP Exkaiser came out
>>5691551
>>5691550
>Brave couldn't even support its own Masterpiece Line.
that's because of the takara tomy merger. After the merger, all Brave lines where stopped, including Brave Revivals and the Masterpieces.
Doesn't help that the MP toys werent that accurate to the source... Exkaiser should have looked like pic relatedfrom the get go
>>5691556
By that logic TF masterpieces should have never work.

Both in terms of shows and toys it was very Brave-like, yeah. Hot shot uses a pretty typical Brave car transformation. And of course Optimus' design is very Brave-esque.

Ever since that "Braveformers" image from takara(2010 molds repainted Brave style. Can't find the image), I've tossed around the idea of doing more like that.Not necessarily existing Brave characters, but repaints done in that style, maybe as new characters for a new Brave-style story.
The centerpiece would be a CW/UW combiner cobbled from the most brave-esque molds. Prowl, for the classic style face. Hot Spot for the torso, with a remolded Defensor head. Airraid for another limb. And Takara's nosecone as a leg for the GGG reference. Not sure what to use for the last limb.

Hasbro naturally attracts terrible people into their fandoms.
Walky also engaged in Kickstarter fraud and Jin uses bogus Paypal claims to get free toys, but they're not talented.

Why has the entire population of /tfg/ dropped by like 20 iq points since the last thread?

Never mind.

Still not as rabbi as the people charging $40+. Not saying either are right for doing it, but it could be much worse.

My Hasbro Groove does not have a hexagonal port. Are you referring to the copter mold?
This thread's even worse than that one where people argued about the ethics of lolicon of a "tfg kiss players edition"

Are there any really, exaggeratedly-Cyberpunk looking Transformers? I guess a couple of the WFC/FOC guys, but any other suggestions?
>>5691593
>Optimus' design is very Brave-esque
While I really wish it was, that is obviously a homage to God Ginrai but hey he's still one of the most coolest TFs Optimus I own.
>>5691723
i've been waiting for this picture for months.
I'm a poorfag so i can't buy him.
But someday this baby will be in my shelf in that same glorious pose.
>>5691733
I don't have him either, but thats still one of my favourite images. I was going to buy him, but I recently decided I should probably jsut save up for the drop of TR, since I'll get more personal value out of a buncha neat deluxes than a single [though very very cool] masterpiece. I hope to god he gets reissued later so I can pick him up, even better if he comes in darker purple.
>classics/universe mirage, prowl, ironhide, and inferno have dropped a bit in price due to new cw and/or mp counterparts
What a time to be alive.
>>5691744
Don't know why you mentioned Ironhide. Anybody who wants that piece of junk needs their head checked.
>>5691738
>this triggers the /pol/
Good
>>5691165
Oh you finally got it? So it's not a KO? Grats senpai
>>5691683
Shit, he's on Seibertron too. He's either a troll or a literal retard.
>>5691760
I'm worried though.
Seems he's really susceptible to getting stress marks, and one of the shoulder ramps doesn't sit in right (some youtubber had the same issue though) and certain joints are S U P E R T I G H T. There's also a few bits that feel like they'd snap without much effort
For a toy this big, I feel really terrified when handling him :s
>>5691644
Thankfully they can't use any molds now.
>>5691738
God I think i remember that being posted....
>>5691671
>Frenzyrumble
>talented
Good one.
>>5691762
Seen him on Allspark too.
>>5691770
Yeah I know that feel, I got a bunch of stress marks on some flaps that I just took out and used a hair dryer to take out as much stress mark as I could and my only problem with the tight joints were Fortress so what I did I just adjusted some of their screws and just transformed them carefully. Still this G1 Fort Max still looks better than the TR version but I might get the Japanese one if they remold Fortress' head to the Japanese version.
>>5691006
Meh, i like Rook better. FYI i got Slingshot but not Brake-Neck

BBTS has Groove up again. Just nabbed mine since fuck it, not playing games anymore with this shit. I'd rather pay the $7 shitters fee and get it for certain than try to screw around hunting for cheaper.
>>5691887
with what I've seen of people selling loose complete Menasor and Superion with the exclusive members for cheap prices, I get the feeling if I wait a few months I can snag a Defensor with Groove for $80 or less. Or wait for the G2 box set which will have it.
>>5691723
>>5691897
on second thought, looking up pics of the old unreleased G2 Defensor set.... that thing is hideous. G2 Superion at least looks good and Menasor, while ugly, is not super terrible, but Defensor is clearly the result of someone who could not see color.

It was these guys.
>>5691916
To be fair, those colors are somewhat more realistic than the original scheme.
>>5691931
>red fire truck, black police car
Yes.
>orange police motorcycle, blue & orange copter
No
First Aid was barely changed, though.
Has anyone noticed Walmart is selling perfect effect pc-07? It looks like its through a separate vendor, but still it is on Walmart's site.

>>5691934
Blue and orange helicopters are a thing though.
>>5691770
Yeah, some of those ratchets are breakably tight.
>>5690862
Thank fuck. Cancelled my BBTS preorder for EE's. Saves me 5 bucks, and I need all the money I can save.
>>5691934
My statement was kinda half-hearted but it's weird how close I got.

Wow

I liked the ones about buying online, buying from Canadians, and removing blood from toys.
Based herculesbeetle.
>>5691726
Seconding this. I recently bought WFC Bumblebee for his little Tron car mode but it left me largely unsatisfied. Especially with how complex the Transformation is for a deluxe.
>>5691955
Is that Blazemaster?
>>5691298
>FTW
You have to be 18 to post here friendo
>>5691967
He's so doofy, I love him. Chicken legs and hand-less arms and all.
For anyone whose bought Victorion does Pyra Magna feels as cheap and shitty as a lot of reviews make her out to be?
>>5691967
If I had the money, and the time, I'd buy one to reshell into a generic apache thing and get a Whirl out of it.
Of course I'd get doubles since I've been pushing him to the back of my backlog since I started collecting.
>>5691952
Then don't buy it.
>>5692050
She feels fine to me, but it's my first time with the mold (waiting on G2 versions).
She's solid, her knees don't lock in due to a misassembly but there's still enough friction to hold everything fine.
>>5692057
Seriously. If 5 bucks is gonna break you get out of the toy collecting game and reassess your priorities.
>>5692050
Just wait and see what Takara does for her. Then if you like the Hasbro one more she'll probably be on clearance by then like all the other combiner box sets.
Is groove not going up on any other websites?
Target, walmart, HTS?
>>5692076
Putting Groove up after the May Madness code expires seems like a Hasbro kind of move.
Posted in bst but figured id post here too, selling air raid silverbolt skywarp firefly and g2 powerglide for pretty cheap (not selling skydive, nicked some parts off him to add some black to the g2)
You guys need to calm down about groove, he'll be easily available in a few weeks!
>>5692093
Ain't even mad. Got one off of Amazon and it arrived Sunday.
>>5692085
How much for G2 Powerglide?
