Does anyone know if the Unicron Wars DVD's which are split into collections such as 'Aramada - Collection 1', 'Cybertron - Collection 2' etc between them contain all the episodes from those seasons?
Too expensive for me to buy at the moment anyway (to get all 6 collections it would come to around $300:eek:) but would be good to know for future reference.
Also, does anyone know if this Rescue Bots 4 DVD pack contains all of season 1 on it? Many thanks.
You mean the Madman Collections?
I have them, but haven't watched through all of them. Madman are generally pretty comprehensive though and would have included everything that they had access to, so I imagine they are as complete as you could get.
While I agree that it is annoying to have them split into separate "collections", it somewhat makes sense when you remember that Armada, Energon, and Cybertron were each 52 episodes long (twice most regular US TV series) with a crescendo towards the middle.
Good timing if you're after the Unicron Trilogy from Madman. They have a sale online now! The whole set of 6 fatpacks (2 per series) will now set you back $65 (or $64.94 to be exact) shipped.

There were five volumes for Season 1, so that pack needs volume 5 to complete the set.Quote:

You can pm one of the global or section mods to change it for you. gamblor916 is the section mod for Reflector's Collections and Comparisons.Quote:

Is there a good/reliable source for Japanese release dates?
Tempted to ship some loot from HLJ but don't want to do it the day before Astrotrain or Grapple are released or something!
Amazon.jp or takaratomymall(?) Amazon usually updates if there's a delay
Thanks, used Amazon and found I wasn't going to make it to the next release date, so Inferno, Ginrai and the Generations book are now on their way to me!Quote:

Can someone tell me if the only difference between the LGEX Rattrap and regular Japanese Legends Rattrap is that his rat-mode eyes are black?

The LG-EX BW figures are basically minor redecos of the previously released figures to warrant a limited release reissue. Here's what TFwiki says is different about Rattrap in particular.Quote:

It's almost identical to the first Legends Rattle, but with some slight color differences such as beige robot parts, black rat eyes, and a darker shade of brown in the fur. His packaging features the confused sentence "rat to rattorp" instead of "rat to robot".
Apparently he has beige robot parts and a slightly different shade of fur. Plus he purportedly transforms into a 'rattorp'.Quote:

Are there any reports of a local release for Platinum Edition Unicron?
I haven't heard anything about it yet, and would be surprised if we do, because it would be so expensive here, and I haven't seen it released at retail in other countries yet... just online stores so far.Quote:

Can anyone please confirm for me when MP Inferno was meant to be released?
I ordered one from PC and due to the little one completely forgot about it, until I was clearing the inbox and saw the order confirmation from July! :eek:
Never received a shipping confirmation or note/SMS from Australia post / courier either.
Just want as much information to send to PC as possible, so thanks for the help.
It was released on November 26.Quote:

This is the known tradeoff with PC - (mostly) cheaper pricing, but a slow
turnaround. Unless you order in the first few minutes, you can be waiting a while for dispatch. I'm not defending them, but that's how it currently is.
That and they also closed for a time over xmas/new year too.

If I remember from a post from a long time ago, he was used in the Marvel comics. Never in the Sunbow cartoon.Quote:

It was in the shrunken gun mode that he would ride in Cyclonus' cockpit (which makes way more sense than TFTM which showed Galvatron piloting Cyclonus in robot mode! :eek:). So yeah, Galvatron's gun mode was seen either unshrunken like Shockwave or shrunken like Megatron. But it was never held; Galvatron was able to fly in gun mode, again, just like Shockwave. :)
The other thing that comes to mind is a random human holding him in human-sized gun mode in the UK story Wrecking Havoc (#172)

I've just realised thrust was a tt exclusive so there was no need to open it to insert different language instructions so really it should of been left untouched.
It's left me scratching my head.
I await you expert opinions.
^ Where did you purchase MP Thrust from? A private seller (ebay, forums) or a reputable online store?
whoops I bought from pc so I'm guessing whoever they got their allocation through. Now I understand china post open packages and inspect contents inside before shipping. But i still don't get the opening of the clamshellQuote:

TT has been double taping some of their MP's lately. A few of us got MP Primal's that were in the same condition as your Thrust. I'd throw TT's QC under the bus first, not PC. (we got our Primal's from HLJ, so it's not a China vs JP issue.)Quote:

Do we know why they double tape in the first place? I wonder if it's because they realised that a batch was missing an insert, like instructions or an accessory (which would explain why the blister and tray was retaped). Ultimately if you toy has a QC issue then you should demand recompense from the seller, as is your consumer right. I've contacted Takara(TOMY) directly on two occasions regarding QC issues with MPs and both times they were very helpful and mailed me replacement parts ASAP. Although their staff don't speak English so I would recommend contacting your seller (HLJ, PC etc.) if you don't speak Japanese. They should be able to source parts for you or offer to replace or refund the toy.
I took advantage of the fact I got paid last night to grab the 2 remaining Sharkticons from work today. I was really wanting 3 for my army, should I hunt down another Hasbro Sharkticon or wait for a Takara Tomy version to complete my trio?
I say wait for the TakTOM one.
That would irk me having 1 of them different to the other two, if they're just your run of the mill cannon fodder.Quote:
