Toys

Just found Energon Bulkhead at local Target in Lodi, California. It was priced 24.99. I do not know if any1 else has spotted this figure in the U.S.

I refer to Takara's site: http://www.takaratoys.co.jp/TF/ Click on the face of Sharkticon on the main frame and you'd see a page that introduces Sharkticon under the heading of Transformers US Edition. What caught my attention was this line in Japanese which I quote: "海外�TFスーパーリンク商���他商��様３段変形��能。" If I do not interpret wrongly, it should mean, "Among the overseas Transformers Superlink product, (Sharkticon) like other products has the ability to triple-change". :eek I hope I'm not creating false hopes or whatever. I'm equally excited to know the truth. :clap

Exactly how many were made? The front page article says 50, but the one on sale on eBay says 100. I guess it doesn't make much difference as it will be impossible for me to get either way. Does anyone think there is a chance of more showing up? With them not being made by Takara, I would think that if the tooling is out there, they will just keep trickling into the market. I can also imagine someone casting one....or at least I can hope. How do you think it would fit the larger US Megatron? It would be nice if someone who casts it could enlarge it for use with the US version.

POST THEM HAULS!!!! :tflaugh1

If your out looking around in your local stores like Walmart and Target... have you noticed the diecast cars like the yellow 2005 dodge viper... what would have been Alt Sunstreaker... or maybe the Large Remote Control Subaru WRC (smokescreen)... there is a new yellow Z06 power wheels Corvette (Tracks) so it seems that when a car is licensed for the toy industry it becomes available to other toy markets.... Well I have NOT seen any BMW, Porche, and very little in the way of mini coppers... so what I was thinking.. there are tons of Hummers and Escalades.. so is it safe to think that our next alternators will be.. whats already out in the toy industry??? What do you thin…

Post any TF Toy review here :)

This is probably an odd topic, and I'm not sure if it's ever come up in this forum before or not, but here goes... Back in the 80s, remember how Hasbro used to release a toy, and then keep it readily available for a year or two after? An example would be that Optimus Prime, who was originally released in 1984, was available clear through 1986 and was in both the '84 and '85 toy catalog. Pretty much any toy you wanted to hound your parents for could be found with relative ease, and would be available for quite awhile, so you stood a pretty good chance of getting it for your brithday or Chriistmas. Now we've got "waves." Basically, if you don't pick up that TF figur…

my favourite is Brave Max even though he comes with no weapons

Okay, last saturday, to my supreme joy, my RM starscream and Prime showed up. Now since BG already did a starscream review and since i have yet to see an RM Prime review, here is my two cents. Packaging: IMHO nobody beats the Japanese on packaging whether it be Transformers, Robotech, or gumball machine chibi toys, the Japanese know presentation. Bright and bold the carded/boxed package overwhelms you with art and information (all of which would be usefull i am sure if you can read Japanese :redface) I generaly find Takara's packaging much more pleasing than Hasbro's, but since i don't keep the packaging (except for MP convoy's) i guess it doesn't really matter…

Omega looks great but I have always had a soft spot for Beachcomber. I can't wait for this guy!
