Toys

Was it just mine or did/do other people have this problem? Straight out of the box, the head was on backwards and the arm shield were on the wrong arms. I had to unscrew to head to reposition correctly, I was too afraid of trying to turn it facing foward and twisting the peg off at the same time. Then for the arm shields, it wasn't until I got the small Armada Prime that I realized they were on wrong. I ended up popping out the pins in the elbows and switching them to the correct arms. All is good now but I never have seen a TF this bad before out of the box.

Heya, though most Aus users probably know about casefresh.com, here is some news. As the topic says, Casefresh are first with the alternators again, like they were with Decepticharger. they will cost the normal price of $45 each, or if you pre order all 3 then they are $39 each, which is a nice saving of $18. http://www.casefresh.com/transformers/alternators.htm They are also going to have Cyberton up soon. And in other news, TransfigureToys.com, is supposedly closing down, there was a news release on the site, but it dissapeared, so that is why I say 'Supposedly' ;). Which is sad since they were a decent group to deal with.

I recently got a full set of the UK Rescue Force team and was wondering if there are any repro partners or weapons out there to finish these guys off with what came with their japanese counterparts (their chests really have some caves that need more). I don't have the Liokaiser team, but I think that it would be great to eventually get bootlegs of the other 2 members to customize so that I could make an Autobot version of Liokaiser out of the Rescue Force set. It is a shame that they did not include the whole thing. I find it very odd that the car's guns have the pegs as if they would have combined with the tank/crane's accessory in the same way that Liokaiser's equ…

is he going to be a JTRU exclusive? that certainly would explain why the online toy stores are having such a hard time stocking him.

Can someone either post a list or direct me to one that has all versions of Optimus Primes that is available? Im collecting them all, and need to know what is out there. Im talking everything from Univers, RID, Armada, Energon, Cybertron, Exclusives...etc: Im not into G1 or G2 so please dont include them. All of them...thanks

KB Toys(at least, the one I visited today) is having a sale on all Cybertron toys. They are marked at 25% off, and this brings them down to the price of Target's figures. Not a REMARKABLE sale by any means, but a nice one if KBs is the only store you can get too.

I've already decided that I'm not going to get Overhaul, but his upgraded version looks interesting. So I'd like to know what his posability, and otherwise quality is like. So does anyone here own him and have some insight? No need to talk about the 'arm-mode', it sucks :P

So, I recently got Windcharger, and I'm playing around with it, and I see a joint in the lower leg (the black portion) that looks like it might be an articulation that would allow him to bend forward and back at the knee. I tried to bend it a bit but it wouldn't give. I don't want to break him, but it would be nice if I could but his legs in more than just the "riding a really big horse" pose. Any thoughts?

The seeds of the future lie buried in the past. Danged typos.

I noticed this new listing at Entertainment Earth. It just struck me as odd...the only Alternator listings I've seen there are for cases and this one is for purchasing Alt. Hound individually. Does this have anything to do with news/rumor that Hasbro is hanging their distribution of Alternators to cases of one figure instead of assortments?
