Lol I'm sorry, I don't check this thread that often.

I was mostly asking if there's a way to store it elsewhere. Maybe as a riot shield or something.

Always room for modding though. Could be fun.

I'm doing the same for the entire line, everything larger than a leigon seems overpriced compared to what I remember the previous lines costing.

They're the Michael Bay transformers movies; they rake in a ridiculous amount of money and they of course are going to get a supporting toyline every time which kids are always gonna snap up. They're gonna do well whether older fans get them or not.

If anything, I feel waiting on these till the sales will force Hasbro to go "oh, they're really not liking these prices, maybe we should reconsider making them so high". I'm a bit tired of this phrase, but vote with your wallet folks.

And maybe some of you are wondering when they will come to your local store. Well, you no longer have to wait because these toys are also online on this very same day. Deluxe Steelbane, Drift, Slug and Sqweeks are all available at AJ's toy chest for $19.99.

Steelbane
Drift
Slug
Sqweeks

The sensible part of my brain tried to do that but the eager movie-toy fan that I am just couldn't wait on some of them. And plus I want them to do well so we get more figures. A proper explanation from Hasbro about the price increase would be nice though.

I have no kre-os and i imagine lego weapons be easier to buy seperately without needing to buy actual lego sets and depriving those lego figures of their weapons?

Turns out I do have a couple Lego figures and one has a weapon so I can test it out. Does fit nicely. Also Cyberverse TF weapons fit too.



Starscream's arm holding that Cyberverse gun is down cos trying to hold it up tipped him forwards. Is Hound more sturdy and weighted?

Mine is very floppy. Part of his transformation is splitting his crotch in half, no joke, but it does not peg together very well. His pegs for the chest to latch onto suck as well. It's a shame because I dig his robot mode.
There is actually more plastic and heft to Squeaks compared to Steelbane. Not nearly as small as he appears, and his trailer attachment is actually quite cool and detailed. After handling them both I would easily take Squeaks over Steelbane if I had to choose.

Some ASDA's are having Half Price sales on pretty much all of the TLK line - even the tiny changers thingies are half price.

It's not in all stores yet.

So how does Squeaks rank among the rest of the line barring repaints so far?

He's red in the movie so I dont know what you are referring to

From a previous line of their blind bag series. I got her and Bart from a car boot sale seller who had hundreds of them all lined up and I just felt like grabbing a couple even though I don't collect them. Yes she comes with the blonde hair, helmet and gun.

All the Asda's near me haven't even got TLK figures in stock yet.
