Siege stock - is it scalpers or just limited supply from Hasbro?

Aww man... does this mean I need 6? 3 for camera and 3 for MISB? Or can I get away with 3 for camera and 1 MISB?

No, you need 9! 3 for camera, 3 for robot, 3 for MISB.

3 for robot
3 for camera
3 for MISB
3 for customising to their G1 toy-accurate colours

I've gotta say, I do kind of think 'leave some for others' has a certain validity. Especially since there are kids who are into TFs too, and that's sort of how the brand keeps on going.
I generally prefer buying loose/used anyway - I get a bargain, someone else gets funds towards something else they want, and the toy doesn't go to waste so to speak.

No, you need 9! 3 for camera, 3 for robot, 3 for MISB.

+1 or +3 for 'spaceship' mode.
I'm a bit sad they didn't call it a 'submarine'...

Oh definitely plus 3.

See this photo:

The foot module above the instruction sheet is the one that came with my toy.
Now compare it to every other picture in the photo and you'll see it's the wrong one.

Whatever the instructions were asking me to do cannot be done with this module.

I'm a little confused, mate, the foot module, apart from the shape of the 'toes' is the same across the line. the titan masters, or prime masters will fit in the top of it and the fist modules that come with the deluxes will attach to the back of the foot for added stability.

The functionality of that design is the same across the product line.

I don't know what the instructions are specifying to make, since it's not possible.
This is as close as I got:


The main problem is that there's something missing from the underside of the foot module, it's probably a post, since in this configuration, it's meant to be gripped by the toy's hand.

Second problem, the spikes on the knuckles prevent the hand module from being rotated into the correct position.
The Prime Core socket should be on the other side, where it's visible if the toy could actually hold this PrimeMaster Gun assembly.

Now compare this to the instructional pictures and you'll see they show a non-spiked hand.

This is as close as I got:

It's not meant to be a weapon that's held by Inferno, the instructions just show how to make feet for the combiners.

I just tried mine and yes the foot looks different to what is shown in the instructions but it combine with deluxe armour to form combiner feet no problem.

The only other thing the instructions show you to do is to plug the feet (without the prime armour) into his back

[Tilarta]

Refer to the picture on the outside of the box:

It's clearly a Prime Core enhanced gun.

But whatever Inferno is supposed to be gripping to hold the combined weapon in his hand simply isn't there.

@Tilarta

Just had another look.... the pic you posted for me to look at box and instructions shows the CORRECT inferno foot....

The pic you posted with “the closest you got” is using a grimlock foot.

Look for the fold out peg under the first foot

We should all be pleased that for the first time in forever retailers have not overstocked on wave one products and then not bothered with the subsequent waves. It really is such a nice change to see the second wave of a transformers toyline on shelves, far better than having 300 movie Prines and Bumblebees clogging the very small amount of shelving space transformers are allocated because they just don’t sell to the general public as well as other toylines do.

A change is as good as a holiday.
