Will the Evangelion Prime be a reissue of the 2014 one?

The YF-19 will be a boon; the Bandai one is a partsformer and the 90s one is hard to track down. I'd prefer a Plus version but the 7 one is cool as well and I'm glad they included the truck. Hopefully they make a VF-25 and a VF-31 too; those are the coolest ones and I'm not spending $300 on the diecasts.

I have a bootleg of the Bandai 90s one, the blue one.
It's pretty nice, Was my cope for nothing of Plus at the time.

According to Blokees, the Devastator parts kit won't be available in the West. Showzstore has it for preorder.

What in the actual fuck? WHY REGION LOCK THE SPECIFIC PARTS TO BUILD A THING THAT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BUY MERCH WISE HASBRO YOU FUCKING HACKS

Could someone please explain the admiration for Blokees? To me they look like inferior Transformers without the crucial gimmick of full transformation.

Cheap-ish modular kits with good articulation and a united slightly stylized aesthetic. you get them for the characters or possible custom projects. Been trying to figure out how I'd make a remake of the old action masters using them for a little while.

They did something similar with the AMK Mini blind-boxes, meaning that Skywarp & Nemesis Prime were much harder to get.

I forgot those figures even fucking existed, thought they just never came out! Sot hey did? YEESH! Not aiming to pay overseas scalper listings just to get those, even though they did interest me. Same feeling about the cartoon colored yolopark kits when I found out those were a convention exclusive with the electronics and then without the electronics a china-only thing. Region/con locking RNG and constantly rising prices are what's killing people's interest the last few years, and they just keep getting worse with it.
 
Have to double-poost because edit window ran out, sorry! Anyways I figured I should bring this up, but I've been recently buying some of those blokees blind box kits, specifically the transformers one tie in ones. The reason I'm getting them is a combo of liking the aesthetic, the earlier mentioned thing of trying to make custom action master remakes, and the fact they're much fucking cheaper to buy from retail stores than online for some reason. 7 dollars online and 4.50 or some shit like that in physical stores. Yeah, no shit I'm gonna get those.

No, I haven't seen the fucking movie yet, shit never lines up and I got other things going on. I really wanted to see it when it was in theatres, if only due to how I heard good things from both people I know that were either complete "normies" or "transformers fans", which is something I haven't seen since the first Michael bay transformers movie. From the clips I've seen it does look pretty fucking fun in terms of "space ayy road trip buddy movie that ends in tragedy". Sucks the thing's release was intentionally sabotaged to try rebooting to another live action movie series or some dumb shit like that

i bit the bullet for buying a dragstrip and a (g2) breakdown. it will be 70 bucks total but dammit, i can't look at menesaur in his spindly form anymore. now i just have to find a wildrider before i cave and get another breakdown just to get it over with.

in other news, a tab on my jhiaxus broke, and it's one of the translucent onces. one more to go before he can't transform anymore.

Based on this image from one of the designers a G2 Wildrider is coming out at some point (maybe in this year's Target 4-pack.)

Ok, maybe I should hold off on those action master customs.

Only doubles i got that'd be good for it right now are an extra orion pax, and I like how the ones I got look. I'm fucking shocked how I got the fully painted variant of optimus this time around, though.

I didn't know that was possible, jesus fuck.

i hope not in a 4 pack, i don't want to buy 4 figures just for one.

Every time the 4 pack target shit exists it stops being in stock at the time of actual discount save for that one time with the one I passed up where they had like 3 shitty dinky sales that somehow overlapped in a way that would have actually given a decent fucking discount for the 4 pack. I've missed every 4 pack (save for the one with the autorooper thanks to a family member) and I really don't like how you got the situation where the remaining unreleased titans return guys from years ago are getting locked behind 4 packs and then scalped on ebay. TFW no deluxe fangry to wield the weird little TR targetmaster pretender thing fangry.

Blokees raised their price to 80 per box which is apperently a "tariffs" thing but that's a near 20 dollar jump from the previous price, something I haven't seen any other price hike do and it seems to be more price matching to resellers' mark ups. So there goes my chance of getting the wave 1 and 3 of the shining waves or really any other wave I aimed to get.Transformers one wave is the only one stocked anywhere by me and they're still cheaper than online. wave 2 shining is on discount for 40 from 54 on amazon, may get that if it doesn't update to 80 or vanish like the other waves did. My plans for getting certain figures is now dashed, but I can definitely still work within these small confines for SOME of the customs I plan on eventually making. I'll just have to try my hand at sculpting.

Someone got their hands on Long Haul and Hook early. Looks like Long Haul does indeed come with all the necessary combiner bits so you can make a gimp Devastator if you feel so inclined. Also did the needful and included shots of the instructions which finally explain the flap on the inside of Bonecrusher's leg. It's for added stability in arm mode. Scrapper does the same thing.
