TF Generations...

Skids is out? Hell I have only found Scoop

[Devilbat]

to be honest, i prefer the original G1 toy compared to the new version, which CTD pointed out, looks too much like Jazz.

 

Well, to be fair...the new one's not a Headmaster, and to be sure there's something to be said about overused molds, but the original Nightstick, from what I remember, was a "Brickformer" with cheesy-looking stickers, although I can appreciate vintage toys in their purest form.

 

By the way, speaking of brightly-colored late-comer characters in the vintage line, I always wanted a couple of the Autobot Targetmasters. I had the one that Transformers into a quasi-futuristic truck, but I always wanted the orange-and-yellow one. (I'm sorry, I can't remember his name just now.) And it just occurred to me the other day that the new Generations Sandstorm sports a similar color scheme as that Targetmaster, and I think that's why I've been so drawn to it. I got one in the mail yesterday, and it reminded me so much of the Targetmaster. I guess on some level the excitement of seeing new Transformers characters is still fresh in my mind some twenty-seven years later. Some of those later releases still seem so new in my mind. I can still remember seeing the Seacons at a local K-Mart store unexpectedly, and it was so exciting to see a new set of really cool and brightly-colored combiners on the shelves, although I never got any of them. (I'm happy to say I'm now the proud owner of the Piranhacon re-issue giftset all these years later, BTW...)

 

I didn't mean to go off on a tangent...I guess my point is I'm happy to see some of the later, brightly-colored characters being made into new figures. I always loved the newer, more futuristic designs, but a lot of those later figures weren't very articulated or had great robot modes. I would absolutely love to see Hasbro make the Decepticon Targetmasters. I used to have the one that had two cockpits and nosecones (Crossfire?), and I always thought that was such a unique and cool-looking design for a fighter-jet. But I never got the other two and wanted them so badly.

Nightbeat not Nightstick.

Nighttick was a Nebulan targetmaster gun.

Ahh...thank you stokovor. That's what I meant to say. I was pretty close though, you have to admit. (lol)

Skids is out? Hell I have only found Scoop

Skids was the wave before Scoop, actually. I saw Skids when I got my Waspinator. Haven't seen the wave with Scoop and Armada Screamer here yet.

[Wheeljack35]

OMG I missed a whole wave??? My stores had only the Beast Hunters waves

[Crow T Decepticon]

I'd keep checking around. You may have missed it at one store, but it might be yet to show up at others. Wave distribution gets really staggered around here.

This image of Nightbeat looks different than the one before...

[Wheeljack35]

[Crow T Decepticon]

Kinda weird to see that movie toys will be in the Generations line.

I thought possibly to save money on the backer cards but the movie cards are different and crappy looking..Just like the movie figures

[CrowdedMind]

Good to know that people are still finding Skids. That entire wave I never saw on the shelves, but I've already seen the remnants of the Scoop wave.

[Megatran217]

I grabbed 3 skids for others. I would never expect him to be a tough find

[Starscream49]

Damn I saw a skids but didnt get him yet.

[Wheeljack35]

For some reason Skids never showed in my area.Ever since they remodeled my Walmart a few years ago that toy dept which was great has gone downill.Not to mention the TRU and Target in my area also

[Wheeljack35]

Cosmos and Swerve are up for preorder

[Cyber Bishop]

And that idiot on Seibertron swore up and down that they were cancelled from BBTS...

[Wheeljack35]

As soon as I seen this I preordred those bad boys.My area has squat just Beast Hunters or nothing thatis all i'm finding

[featofstrength]

He probably works for them...drum up some business.

 

It worked on me...mostly because I sold my classics 2.0 mini Cosmos as soon as I saw this version was coming out.

[Cyber Bishop]

After it was reported the Asian Market for them exploded. I paid $15 for mine from Taiwan before his news broke, after they hit almost $30 from the same sellers.

If anything he is in league with the over seas sellers.

[Wheeljack35]

Has anybody seen Skids? I only came upon this wavrtwice and both times there was only Goldbug left.I have tried online too.It is either out of stock or ebay was $50 for one
