TF Views

I only got Thunderblast relatively recently when a friend was cleansing his collection. Not that many Cybertron figures I don't own. Hrm, let's see..

Where I only list one of a mould, assume I own the other.

- LoC Hot Shot
- Ransack
- Clocker
- Brakedown GTS
- Scrapmetal (red)
- Landmine
- Cybertron Defense Hot Shot
- Override GTS
- Excellion
- Skywarp
- Armada Prime
- Armada Demolishor
- Smokescreen
- Beast Megatron
- Leobreaker
- Soundwave
- Galaxy Force Vector Prime
- Galaxy Force Optimus Prime
- Super Fire Convoy/God Magnus set
- SDCC LoC Skywarp
- BotCon Ramjet

Thassit, rest of the line I own, or Takara's approximations thereof. Still a few of the above I'd not mind picking up, namely the Armada repaints and Beast Megs. Of those, there's only one mould I don't own at all, and that's Landmine. I may eventually get Grindcore or BotCon Rhinox, but Landmine himself I have no desire to own.

Why no love for Landmine? He's a decent enough kinda toy.

I missed out on the Primal/Megatron Beast planet repaints. Dangit.

Landmine is fantastic.

Cybertron was all kinds of "buy it now" fun.

Landmine is an ugly, redundant design in an era of TF well known for ugly, redundant designs. His gimmicks are cumbersome and poorly conceived, and his colour scheme screams "Do not buy me." I've fiddled with a loose one, and while not especially 'bad', per se, he's not especially 'anything' that makes me want to own him, short of the sheer fact that I don't own him.

That thing was all kinds of fun. How did it have a redundant design? I will give you the gimmick being cumbersome, but it is not redundant.

Dom

The design is redundant, and offers nothing that we'd not seen before in the oodles of construction-themed TFs. The gimmick, while at least somewhat original, is original for a reason - it's impractical and functions poorly. Like I've said, it's not that he's a terrible toy, he's just not remotely interesting.

I have to disagree. The toy is great. It has a satisfying transform, and the robot is well articulated.

I hated the Rhinox on concept and principle. But, if it were not rare like a convention exclusive, I would have snagged Grindcore in a second.

-learning to hate Wal*Mart exclusives.

If you want one, they're still available here, as are the others in that lineup. I'm after a Mudflap if you fancy a partial trade..

Which Mudflap? The other question is the cost of shipping.

If you really want Mudflap, I can ship one to you. But, I am probably not willing to pay international shipping to get a recolor of a mold I already have, unless the bio-note is amazing. (What is GC's bio?)

I figure the cost to you is about the same, as you have to pay shipping on something no matter what. Let me know.

Dom

The Erector-themed yellow movie repaint, since that's not made it here. I'd pay the difference in cost/shipping. Just an idea.
