Ironically, I know this when the Cyclonus I got off of Ebay didn't come with Nightstick ...
It was the Battle in Space one for £15 though so I ain't complaining.

adamage-trhighbrow-target.jpg

Sioux Falls has had the entire wave at both of their Targets. Of course it is after I paid through the nose at Walgreens. Oh well.

I have been checking Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and Toys R Us for the last month and a half in both Fargo and Moorhead, and this is the first I have seen any of the wave 2 deluxes, so hopefully this means they are finally making their way around here.

Not sure if this has been posted, but it appears that TR Deluxes and Voyagers wave 2 are available at toysrus.com. I know this isn't a big deal for many of you since I know a lot of folks have picked it up at Walmart for less than $10 each. But it's a big deal to me since there are no Walmarts in NYC for me to visit, and my local TRU has not gotten wave 2 deluxes yet.

BUT, there's a twist. I was randomly searching for it on my TRU app on my Android phone. I almost never do it, and was surprised to find it. Since buying on a computer is much easier, I jumped on my laptop. However, I was not able to find them on their website. So I tried to buy it on my phone, but kept getting a technical glitch that prevented me from completing the transaction. I ended up successfully ordering it on my iPad instead. But who knows if TRU will actually send it or cancel my order like they did for my NES Classic this morning.

If they send it, great, I'll get it for $12.99 each. I'll do it WJ style and hold onto the receipt and try to find an arbitrage situation.

SillySpringer wrote:*pops in* I have a question: How tall is a titanmaster? MM measurement would be best.

I think they are about the legnth of 5 M&Ms back to back.

Also, this is probably one of the worst reviews I have ever seen. The guy wasn't sure if this was Breakaway or Twinferno, WTH?! I am really sick of these guys pumping out quick lazy reviews just to be first. The least I expect is for the person to know who they are reviewing and be ready for the review. He didnt even have one of his tires on, couldn't the reviewer double check before?!

He also calls Triggerhappy a 'major retool'. Not only is that completely wrong, he doesn't even attempt to say who it's a major retool of... I've watched some of this guy's reviews before, they're really not fun. They're always so pessimistic it seems.

SillySpringer wrote:Thanks for the measurement Sureshot! Because of it, I have just started working on a Blowpipe Targetmaster for TR Triggerhappy. This is my progress on it. I only wanted it to be around the height of a Titanmaster for visual purposes.

Surprisingly, this progress took me only an hour or so. I thought the head would take me longer. I autta do more targetmasters!

Now THAT'S impressive. Good work, can't wait to see the finished product
If I could make one suggestion, and I don't know how hard this would be so don't worry too much about it... in the japanese Headmasters series, the Targetmasters had an alternate mode of connection where instead of being handheld, they attached to their partner's wrist much like Shockwave's gun hand.



The process was also replicated in Universe Cyclonus with Nightstick; Cyclonus' hand folding back to reveal a notch Nightstick could attach to.





Again, if it's too hard; don't bother. Especially since we don't have the Triggerhappy toy actually in-hand yet and we don't know a connection point it could work with. Just thought it'd be cool

Thanks Kurona! I'll certainly consider it! Problem is though, like you said, I'm not exactly sure how he'd attach like that. And if I do it for one, I'd want to do it for them all.

Progress report on Targetmaster Blowpipe:



Only just now started working on making him transform. Looks relatively accurate I think! I haven't started on doing the back gun though. I want it to hinge down unlike the G1 Targetmaster that just has it unattach and reattach in a different spot for gun mode.

Maybe you could have a series of folding panels attached to the back gun; making it fold over Blowpipe's head, over his body and onto the folded up knees?

The front you see here is the true front, meaning the gun barrel wouldn't be able to cover the head since it's located in the back. I have some ideas for how the head can hide however. I am trying to keep the number of pieces to a small amount though. Do the most you can with the least pieces is always the best way to go.

I have you a 3 and a half hour head start silly. But I guess I'll take this news

Like I said before, I was leaving Twinferno for you.

By the way, he misspelled "Titans" in the title. That's why you need tags, John.

Oh. Thank you. You could've gotten either way it doesn't matter
YouTube reviewers do that all the time.
I love your blowpipe design so far

Bumblebee21 wrote:I love your blowpipe design so far

Thanks dude!

I will have to make some corrections with some of the wall thicknesses, but overall the transformation concept is complete for Blowpipe.







The hinge for the backpack is obviously entirely too fragile. Like I said, I have some things to correct.

Edit: I also plan to add some heels.

Fellow Seibertronians Bounti76 and Bumblebee21 have pointed us in the direction of a new review, this time in the form of a video review of Titans Return Twinferno, the last of the figures from this wave that needed reviewed! Twinferno is an all new mold based on the Monsterbot Doublecross, and features a Titan master named Daburu, whose robot mode is modeled after the beastformer White Leo. He is the last of the Wave 3 Titans Return figures to be reviewed, so we can expect these figures to start coming in stock soon, so go and pre-order yours!

Why did you reply to me?

I'll hopefully work out the kinks on Blowpipe tomorrow. Working on this is making me even more excited for Triggerhappy.

i know that but theres one from a few days ago that hasnt updated.

idk silly i was being silly

anyways. i got another highbrow and i think i may like him now

So Defensor's currently combined and I gave him Leader Thundercracker's large gun as a weapon because I honestly believe that looks so much better than anything else I could give him.

So that leaves me with Hot Spot's two (awesome) rifles. Any sane person would either put them somewhere on Defensor for spare weaponry or storage, or give them to another 'bot for weapons.

You did not get credit for the Twinferno review. Bounti76 emailed the news staff a full half hour before it was posted, and we go by who reports it first. Sorry Bee
