Wooop another chance for skywarp (and two needed target masters), not liking that price in Yen though, irs still going to be pricey for what it is

Considering the original set was $50, it seems like the usual TT markup. Plus it's a lot better than current sales prices

Yeagh but still kinda sucks for a voyager and three battlemasters when the other exckusive set sideswipe/grandslam was easilly available for £30.

[Blitzwing[TSØK]]

Can someone PM me for a deal that can be made regarding this set? I don't want to come back to the sites too soon and miss out on this elusive Skywarp.

Pm me man I've got an extra one

IF you live in Japan.
Anyone else will still have to pay a reseller mark-up, making the set easily double the price of the American Amazon release.
Despite that, it will still be better than eBay.

Is Siege Skywarp the most expensive "normal" non-MP non-Botcon
Seeker ever?

[Starseeker]

Well heck, it looks like people have extras. Anyone willing to sell me one? I'm willing to pay a decent price as long as it's not ebay levels of ridiculous.

There's always China. For whatever reason they still get TTM even though they're technically a Hasbro market and brand unity. And they tend to be the cheapest place to get some figures. I got my Siege Nemesis Prime from a Chinese seller on eBay for $80 and free shipping (technically $70 with a coupon) and seen them listed as low as $65 since as they all try to undercut each other. There's a good chance the same will be true with the Phantomstrike Squadron, and it sure wont be $200-$400 like from domestic sellers on eBay and Amazon.

Let's hope there will be TONS flooding eBay. Those insane prices must be tone down.

Speaking of Seekers, I FINALLY managed to get a Siege figure- Starscream!

He's a really, really good toy. The robot mode is one of the most well articulated TFs HasTak has put out in ages. Full range knees and elbows, wrists and ankles, a waist, butterfly joints...he's astoundingly poseable. The transformation is a little confusing the first time around, but not too bad, and honestly I LOVE the Tetrajet mode. The legs work well as boosters, thus mitigating the "robot under a jet" syndrome, and the particular stylings just feel right.

My only complaints are the null rays are a bit loose in the arm sockets, and the forearms are easy to untransform by mistake. But still, overall a stellar figure.

Glad that you're finally experiencing the greatness of the Siege seeker mold. Way superior than the Earthrise IMO.

Too bad you're late to the party to get more Siege seekers because oof, those second market prices...

[Starseeker]

I agree, I love the tetrajet seekers. The whole thing is great in my opinion, even the chest part ending up in the back works as it looks like extra boosters. I really like the battle damage too.
I made sure to switch Starscream and Thundercracker's faces though, because Screamer is definitely the one that should have the smirk.

Yeah, I wanted to get the Rainmakers but was in no position to be buying them at the time, and now...yikes! I'm actually pretty happy just having Starscream in all honesty, never been one for doubling up on molds. But oh well.

And yeah, ER Starscream honestly looks a touch "meh" to me. The torso being a big hollow block just doesn't do it for me.

I'll do that too.
I'll also switch ER Starscream and Skywarp's heads. Starscream should be the one to scream.




EDIT:

>I remove the screw at the back of the head, then just pull the head from the ball joints instead of carefully separating the halves, thus breaking off the eyes from the clear plastic parts.

[sol magnus]

I tried to get my Prowl's head to come off and I couldn't without feeling like I might break it. Any tips?

Anyone looking for Siege at a discount might want to try looking at Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxx. I saw Siege Starscream at Ross yesterday for $13.

[Quantum Surge]

I tagged Seibertron when I found some Deluxes at my Ross.

Remind me to take pictures when I visit mine. On a slightly off-topic but relevant note: Cyberverse One-Steps at Five Below! Need to get pictures of that too...

For those who have both Cog and Six-Gun, which one is the better figure? I'm planning on buying Brunt and one Autobot Weaponizer, I was thinking Six-Gun in case the Kingdom Titan figure does turn out to be another Metroplex like many have been speculating, but is Cog better or worse than Six-Gun?

You should just get both. both are pretty great in their own ways, I couldn't really put one over the other, but if I had to, I would prefer Cog because of the colors and quality of the guns he forms. Sixgun makes a bangin' jetpack through

I like Six-Gun better as a weaponizer. There are just more builds available: jetpack, glider, fist, shoulder cannons. Cog can be a shield or cannons, but that's about it. Both have detachable blasters, so either or both can function as very basic weapon packs.

I have both, but I have Fort Max and intend to get Metroplex, especially if they release a new mold.

I'd say six gun, cogs legs to the thigh pegs can can be a bit loose. Forbidden Planets website still has Drill Dasher and Jet Dasher (£24 each plus postage tho ) if you are wanting more options.

[TF-fan kev777]

I would second getting them both, but would favor Six-Gun over Cog if forced to choose. For me Six-Gun seems to have the most involved transformation steps of all 3 weaponizer molds, and that is a big plus for me.

Not too long ago, I decided to get Siege Omega Supreme when it appeared on sale at 200$CAN at Walmart. Smart move because that figure is fantastic.

And now he's on Ebay. 2 days to go and the bids are now at over 320$CAN!
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Transformers-Ge ... _Auction=1

I'm so glad I got my OS just in time!

.....

Wait. That seller must have bought that OS (or maybe the two) that was at my local Toys R Us. The price was 250$CAN plus canada/Quebec taxes. That's 287.44$CAN total. Ebay and paypal take roughly a 20% cut. If the bids don't go higher, the scalper will LOSE money. Not counting the troubles shipping the damn thing.

At best, the guy will make what? 20$? The trouble is not worth it at all.

Well, now he's screwed. Hasbro just re-released OS at the original price. Jetfire too for those who missed out.

For real? Good news then.
