Just double checking... Is it correct that we never got a Takara Legends Fracas or Nightstick?
I really want a Fracas to give to LG Scourge and a Legends styled Nightstick would be nice just to have a complete set even though I have Henkei Cyclonus that comes with a Nightstick.
If one was to be looking to purchase the 86 movie on blu ray, which release is considered to be the best? I understand there are a few out there.
Not yet... but if TT eventually do Artfire and Stepper (from the POTP Jazz and Inferno), they would be doing their Targetmaster guns, which are identical (not even redecos) of Nightstick and Fracas.Quote:

If you search for the anniversary Blu ray you might get more correct info. I THINK that there are only 2 Blu ray releases. We got one in Australia a while ago. Then there was also the more recent anniversary edition which came out overseas from a new transfer. I have both but have not watched the anniversary edition yet.Quote:

I got the Madman release from a few years back. It's a good transfer of the movie from what I can tell. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/movies-tv-...-movie/251451/
The other version from a few years ago is Sony's release, I don't know anything about it. But it's not the best to track down due to cost and I believe it's the same transfer as Madman's but with less bonuses.
There is a more recent reissue of the '86 movie for the 30th anniversary last year. It's a new transfer captured at 4k, but of course standard Blu-rays are only 1080p so that doesn't help much. Also it's only been released in America and I believe it's region locked like all Hasbro Transformers properties. https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-...70_&dpSrc=srch
I'd personally either grab the older Madman release since it's still available at JB Hifi for $24, or start hounding Madman to release the new 30th Anniversary Blu-ray.
Cheers guys. I’ll just go the JB version.

P.S.: I've been told that the toy I've got that I thought was TR Seaspray is not TR Seaspray. :eek: :confused: Could someone please help me identify this toy. It came packaged on a TR Seaspray card which I got from The Little Toy Company.

Yeah but that Fracas is not in the style of the Legends Targetmasters. I want a Legends Fracas and Nightstick.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(Quote:

Either option doesn't make you look very good to others.
My question was genuine and not intended to bait a negative response. I was informed in the Random TF thoughts thread that I do NOT own Titans Return Seaspray...Quote:

- Had no idea that the market for third party not-Seasprays was so darn competitive.
TLTS does not seem to have sold any KO's. Also, judging from this quick search query and the lack of KO forum topics, there doesn't seem to be any KO's of the official Hasbro mould - because if some Chinese factory did choose to make an elaborate high-quality Seaspray, which means it was not produce cheaply, then I'd assume they would have tried to market it heavily to much larger markets than Australia first to max their sales. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=t...ih=614&dpr=1.5
Thank you, Suspectimus. Much appreciated.
I wonder about the state our community when someone who I assumed very knowledgeable about all things transformers is serious about stuff like this. It really does make me not want to interact with other collectors at all.Quote:

Getting seriously off topic. Suspectimus has answered my query now, so let's move forwards onto something more constructive/relevant.
I was not aware that emoticons expressing surprise :eek: and confusion :confused: denoted joviality. I shall try to be more specific in future.Quote:

No wave 2 POTP sightings yet?
Nope... and wave 3 Deluxe was just found in New Zealand today, and they didn't get wave 2 either... which doesn't look good for us (or those with half teams of Dinobots and Terrorcons).
Could someone please post a link or images of what the RID Season 3 DVD covers look like? Thanks.
Only one volume released so far.... link and pictures here.Quote:

As to why TWO is so much more expensive than FOUR... no idea. They appear to be identical, so maybe the got the second batch really cheap and their inventory system is telling them it is "different" to the first batch, so have kept them at different prices.
The same is probably the case for ONE and THREE, as the newer release is a fair bit cheaper than the first release in 2015.
If you don't want the Optimus figurine, buy number ONE, for $15 (on sale at the moment.
If you did want the figurine, buy number TWO, for $30.
hmm well the one I marked THREE says "Collectors Edition" on the cover, so wondering what makes it for collectors.
I think FOUR might be THREE just with the pop, like how TWO is ONE with the pop, but not certain.
Hopefully someone has the "Collectors Edition" and can say what makes it so collectible.
PS: I mentioned it here but the pop version (probably the one marked TWO in my previous post) is $15 at Target so price isnt really any issue, just trying to find out if there are any other differences between the versions.
I have THREE the Collector’s edition. It has nothing special compared to the other releases except for a box around the four individual dvd releases. ONE looks like the single case release (seen in Griffin’s second pic here http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=25367
I threw the box away.
If anyone ever wanted to know how to correctly pronounce the names of the G1 Trainbots, I've made this quick pronunciation video guide here.
Cheers, from the picture on JB wasnt sure if it was a slipcover over a tin or a lenticular cover or what, that clears up a lot, thanks :)Quote:
