My only issue with Barricade is that one of his black rubber wings came bent right out of the package. I haven't had time yet to fix it with a hairdryer.
I've read that some people have had issues with the clear plastic on Barricade breaking. Has anyone here experienced that? I do want to get SS Barricade but not if he's going to break.
PLEASE DO NOT USE A HAIR DRYER ON YOUR TRANSFORMERS! The heat from a hair dryer can get to melting point. If you need to fix bent rubber or soft plastic pieces, use boiling water which is not hot enough to melt plastic. If you do need to use a hair dryer, please use with extreme caution. Boiling water is preferred in this scenario.
Duly noted!

In fairness I've warped figures by accidentally boiling them too long as well so I don't think there's really a "safe" way of doing it, just use caution and do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

Who's a cute boy, who is, yes you are Longhaul.
I love him, have a softspot for those big CAT dumptrucks.
Have both ROTF Long Hauls and they are pretty cool, but this one is better.

I can totally see where you are coming from, what makes it even harder to resist is that ROTF had clones of half the Constructicons members, so you could justify having copies of the same character!

Seems like there's been a lot of that and toy swapping going around recently.
Anyways, Long Haul looks really good. I like the more compact look he has going for him. I can also easily see him being retooled into TLK Onslaught.
Also,picked up SS Cogman recently. Nice to have a version of that guy that I could finally find at retail.

The one time redecos are one's saving grace. I got the G1 redeco Mixmaster and white Demolishor (with a break in one of the hinges), so things work out for me too.

Check out his review to see every facet of this figure looked over and compared to his previous release in the Revenge of the Fallen toyline (where again he was released as a voyager but did not combine with his fellows)
We have embedded the video below for your convenience:
What do you think of the review? Are you building towards your own Devesator already? Or has Long Haul convinced you that you need to start construction on a bigger display shelf? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

He did not. Posting it on the boards in no way guarantees the news crew will see it, news must be submitted.

Fair enough, the distribution has gone so far off the rails even in the US, I guess this stuff could just already be at retail over there

Having rampage, the ankle tilt is really tight, the other one is a friction joint, but if you transform it as shown, the weight actually sits on the solid blade/bulk of the body, which is one piece pretty much; beyond that, I dunno, I don't think devs is gonna have great articulation, unless they saved the shoulders and thighs for last to see how heavy the joints will have to be to hold up the heavy limbs

Depends on where you are in the US. The big problem is that stuff may be on the shelf at one store, but nowhere to be found at the next store. A country as big as the United States isn't always going to have every location stocking things consistently. Even in my small town, you can have completely different results depending on which store you go to. One Target on my side of town is pretty good with Voyagers and Leaders,but is awful with stocking Deluxes and smaller classes. The store on the other side of town, on the other hand, is completely hit and miss.

Ah,gotcha gotcha. I see what you're saying.
Yeah,the US is definitely getting the figures. There's no doubt about that. There have already been plenty of sightings that have made it to the news.

Bought Rampage to go with both of them too, so 3 voyagers coming in next week. and 2 of 8 Devastator components down

I go to that Target once a week, and they weren't there last time, so they must have just come in. There are still Dropkicks and Grimlocks clogging the shelves. I have still only seen 1 DoTM Megatron and 1 Jetfire, and that was almost a month ago and nearly 40 miles away.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I found both of them at Target tonight.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Well, gonna go order voyager Prime and Bonecrusher tonight.

Intetesting. SS Grimlocks plural? I guess he is far less popular than Blackout in your area.

My area also has... groups of Grimlocks left behind, in both Targets and Walmarts. Guess he wasn't colorful enough or too dark for the kids. On the plus side, my local Walmart has put multiple cases of Jetfire and DotM Megatron on the shelf, with excess on the top. Also, that one hasn't removed the SS Voyager tags (yet), but instead added "This item is out of stock".

Anyone else with Studio Jetfire have these "yellow spots"? At first I thought it was a misprint run with mine (and the other I found @ Target) but now I see they're in the official pics on Pulse...
Does everyone else who has Jetfire also have these spots? They seem *really* out of place.

Yeah, my only brick and mortar source of Leader figures that I actually shop from has a handful of Grimlocks versus maybe one Blackout. I think another factor attributing to this is probably the fact that we've gotten multiple movie Grimlocks in the last two movie lines back-to-back and his base design hasn't changed, so at least a lot of the younger fans will probably already have a figure of that Grimlock in some form and are therefore less likely to pick him up/convince a parent to pick him up for them from this line. At least characters like Optimus/Megatron/Bumblebee have the advantage of different bodies to help them sell variants fans might not already have, and Blackout hasn't had a new figure in years. Comparatively, Grimlock's in a bit of a rough spot.
In other news, Hasbro Pulse finally added listings for Shatter, Scrapmetal, Cogman, and Rampage today, and they're all in stock for those who still need them.
