I see some posts still need to be moved to the right thread... Is the article view still linking to this one?

Wolfman Jake wrote:I finally have a delivery estimate from UPS for Terrorsaur. I should have him by Thursday evening. What a hassle that has been! Can we go back to the pre-COVID level of terrible shipping logistics, please?

Ooof... so much for private business superiority lol. I wonder if the shipping situation will be better by the time I'm able to buy Terrorsaur.

The news staff might want to make a note that those wave compositions from months ago are outdated.

Most of the figures in the original post are still in the same waves, but the numbers of each figure has changed some cases.

Some examples being

Leaders:
Wave 1, 1x Laser prime, 1x Galvatron PR

Wave 2, 1x Blitzwing, 1x laser prime

Wave 3, 1x Dragon Megatron, 1x Blitzwing.

Voyager:
Wave 2, 1x S Soundwave PR, 2x Jhiaxus

And core Skullgrin moved to wave 4 and is packed with a PR (package refresh) of Kingdom core Megatron.

I wonder who will be partnered with Twincast. I'm expecting Rewind for the easy remold, but hoping for Steeljaw or Ramhorn because the beast Cassete-bots don't get enough love compared to the Cassete-cons.

Should have Terrorsaur tomorrow, looking forward to him

Watch'em throw us a curveball and make it be Flip Sides, or Rosanna.

Or maybe they'll replace it with something more useful, like extra blast effects.

Side by side of Roddy and Cerebros, because they were both on my desk

Got Terrorsaur finally, here he is with an upgrade kit -


I like the look of him, but he's a little weird with the posing, especially with the 'ab crunch' mine kind of has going on.

Very nice.

I wonder how likely a Selects Lazorbeak or Hydra is. And if we'll get an homage in Buzzworthy to the wackiness that was a certain AoE Strafe toy (probably be sold as Garboyl if we do).

Have there been many comparison pics between him and the original BW toy?
Speaking of, TIL that the Lazorbeak mold was actually a recreation of the Terrorsaur mold with diff. details

I secured my Terrorsaur, and I also picked up a Rodimus Prime. Terrorsaur is actually much nicer in hand than he looked in pictures. Robot mode is definitely his shining point. Rodimus Prime is really cool, he is everything Hot Rod wanted to be. Everything about him is a lot of fun and well done. I am really glad I did come around to finally get him.

I always felt like all you Rodimus deniers were just cheating yourselves. I have TWO of him.

I really did think PotP was good enough for me, and that this Rodimus was too much. Part of why I like him is I did get him for $50 shipped, and I'm not sure I'd feel the same about him if I had paid retail. I really did want that sword of Primus. But there is something about the robot mode in person that is a lot better in hand than in photos. He is really enjoyable. And since I got SS86 Hot Rod, I feel like I can appreciate him more, since I got Hot rod, enjoyed what he was trying to do, and then Rodimus did it all but better.

Yeah, I am glad I got him.

Yes, I caught that 50 buck Amazon sale a ways back for the second. He's so nice I bought him twice.

Amazing the difference not having the faux-parts chest makes. Well, that and his being a fundamentally bigger version of the character giving the parts for the arm pipe transformation room to be bigger and thus not brittle.

I got him for Christmas and I love him. I hope somebody makes an opening Matrix for him.

Those of you who are saying you got Terrorsaur, where are you getting him? Are you paying scalpers prices? I sure as heck am not paying 90 plus bucks for a deluxe figure.

Mine was from Pulse.

I'm quite happy with my long-awaited Kingdom Terrorsaur. He definitely has all of the common problems people have reported, like the one wing that falls off too easily, and the upside-down wing joints (that are easy to fix). However, it all comes together pretty well. He's no worse than the Airazor/Skywarp use of the mold with kibble management in beast mode. He's a very bright and pleasing red, and the beast mode head is extremely well detailed with paint apps. The wings in robot mode may not be on-model to the show, but they look really cool and fit the look and the character just fine. My only critique is that engineering a way to flip the wings upside down would have made it top notch, as that's how it looks on the original toy and cartoon character model.

You're all lucky then. Every time I check there he's been sold out. I guess I'll just have to hope he'll be back at some point.

I mean, I preordered him months ago. I didn't just 'get one' on Hasbro Pulse. I'm fairly certain they sold out day of pre-release.

This. These were amazon exclusives, so Pulse got a limited stock of them, so all 4 sold out there really quickly. Amazon is the primary source, but Pulse did have limited stock, and it just finally came in. They might have some during next week's "back in stock" on Friday, they have for the previous 3

Some of the Terrorsaurs sold by Amazon are still being shipped out. Mine was shipped a couple of weeks ago. He sold out very quickly! I think either Hasbro underestimated the character's popularity, or Amazon is "making" them put very popular characters (such as Terrorsaur or Ratchet) in their exclusive lineups as part of the exclusivity deal.

His red must really not photograph well, as in hand it looks WAY better than in any pictures or videos I've seen.

Maybe we'll see a toy-colors release in the Buzzworthy line - wouldn't be the first time. It'd require painting for those who want show-Terry, but at least it'd be access to the mold.


Unrelated: Roddy is very good at sitting down. I need to make a chair for him or something. And a desk.

IIRC, it's coming in Selects.

Ugh... IMO it would be better for the toy-colors release to be in Buzzworthy and for the Selects release to be Hydra.
