Had Legacy Wildrider delivered yesterday and he seems nice.

Managed to pick up a Jhiaxus as well, he's currently wrapped in plastic thanks to the policy of the store from which I bought it. I was only gonna buiy if after I saw it in person, and then getting to the shop, I could only see parts of the chest as the box was
"Wrapped in plastic"

Anyhoo, I still bought it, but, yeesh, you can barely see the toy as it it is. Tough decisions were made
Anyone get the reference?

Wait, the box isn't wrapped in plastic - just the window seems to be wrapped up, is that right?

That's right yes, but that is just this chain as far as I know. I've not seen many other Legacy toys on shelves recently.

Also, TT have covered up the QR code and area for cross sell of figures with Japanese text stickers. <bummer>

Legacy Bombburst - fun, but the pictures I saw online made me think it was more fun than I think it actually is...

SS86 Ironhide price matched to Kmart at $45 from JB Hi-Fi Forrest Chase, and Legacy A Hero is Born set from the same at $99 (cheapest around but still expensive).

Also an SS86 Ironhide from JB for me. The staff member restocking the shelves said that was a popular figure today.

For real. Ironhide has been showing up steadily at different stores in Perth according to the website stock checker and then disappearing after a day from those stores. I missed him at one store by a day. Then I was too early at another by some hours (the girl checked her device and they had not received any), which then sold out the next day. For me, I like to check the cosmetic quality and also price match in person, but others might want to buy click-collect as soon as it shows on the website for your local store.

That’s what I bought from them a month ago but they refused to send it out because I’m banned apparently.😂

Picked up Wheelie and he’s been in person that in the photos. The front of the car is bad but in hand or on the shelf his alt mode feels right regardless. $20+ for Core class figures is not fun, so good to see some discounts this week.

Did you try and email them asking why? You end up getting it from somewhere else?

War for Cybertron Biosfera Autobot Clones from the Amazon AU Black Friday sale for $44. I have a feeling this was on sale for less than $40 on Amazon AU a long time ago, but I've been waiting and this is probably the best deal I'll get, and Wingspan and Pounce are getting impatient...

Transformers T-shirt on clearance for $8 from $15 at Kmart - the beige one with G1 Prime and Bee on a round space background.

Bought the Autobot Clones at $30 from Amazon US (via Amazon AU) back in June 2021.

Cybertron Defence Scattershot from ebay.
Probably paid too much, but its complete (with box back & instructions), in awesome condition, and I've been coveting this mold for a while now. So I don't care.
My Autobots now have GMLRS artillery rocket support.

So far

Legacy Iguanus - Really fun for a small figure. Characterful, neat transformation, great colour choice. Weapon is a bit garbage though.
Legacy Blitzwing - I dunno. Looks great in robot mode. Acceptable tank mode, shit jet mode. Fun to transform but I just don't like it.
Velocitron Shadowstrip - Colours really pop. I hope that the rest of the set has the accent colours picked out in a metallic paint.
LS-02 Agitant (oversized Studio Series Starscream) - Absolutely gorgeous and I love the mold improvements (more articulated hands, ankle tilts, and more involved chest transformation). The plastic doesn't feel... great? It feels a bit rough, and not super dense.

I picked up and then put back down Velictron Scourge last night.

First Hong Kong haul, from RK:
Reissue Siege Jetfire.
MP Crosscut.
Plus some other things.

One day early for naming rights...but nice to have some TFs to make things feel a bit more like Home.

Are the Con clones floating around anywhere, or is it secondary market time?

Inflated price time I think. Some months ago they were on Amazon AU for a reasonable price then they skyrocketed and disappeared. TLTC (https://thelittletoycompany.com.au/collections/earthrise-war-for-cybertron/products/transformers-earthrise-war-for-cybertron-exclusive-clones-wingspn-pounce-2-pack-action-figure) has it for $70!
