Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[KalEl]

Does anyone know if the new Botshots Dragon set can 'shoot' out the older style Botshots or just the newer 'Flip', 'Spin' or what ever they do Bots?

I would assume both kinds.

Does anyone know if this was an actual gig release?. I was under the impression that the Diaclone Snarl should be black not red.
Also the sword is grey
He has a couple of others with the chrome sword

He should be black in the torso, IIRC.
Could be a different release but you never know... Maybe contact him and ask?

Bidoofdude's correct - only the Transformers versions had red torsos, the Diaclone version (including GiG) was black

Pics 1-3 are Diaclone
Pics 4-5 are TF G1
Pics 6-7 are TF G2
Pic 8 = MISB Diaclone
Pic 9 = MISB Trasformer
Pic 10 = MOSC TF G2

So AFAIK there's no red torso Diaclone Stegosaurus Kyouryuu Robo.

Even the pic on the back of the box of Snarl there has a different torso colour

Someone ought to report this sale as fraudulent. Even if the Snarl is a legit TF and not a KO, the seller is presenting it as something that it's not. The box could be a repro too.

Cheers. Interesting, in these pictures, he has a grey sword too. i thought all of the Diaclone ones were chromed.
The other dinobots he has for sale look ok.

I'll be waiting for a black one to show up

So I just made an account on BBTS to preorder Generations Blitzwing and Springer. What's this thing called "Pile of Loot"? Could someone please explain it to me in as simple and layman terms as possible? Thanks.

Storage. Up to 6 months. They keep your stuff aside until.you decide to hit the "ship my loot" button. Its very handy for preorders. But beware, after 15 days you can't remove any PoL items. If you do decide to before 15 days, you get a store credit. Shipping goes by weight anyway, they'll amend any extra's accordingly.

So why would I want to use this option? Say for example, I've currently got Generations Blitzwing and Springer on pre-order... what would be the difference between leaving the Pile of Loot option on or off? Does it mean that if I keep it off, they'll ship them both separately rather than together?
