Ok so I'm having some issues with my Misfire.

The right arm has a ratchet click the left one doesn't have and it always feels easier to move on the left arm and the right shoulder unpegs a lot and not very solid compared to the left.

Is this a defect or do other Misfire's have this issue?

Yeah the right shoulder pin is more sunken in than the left/good arm.

Is the pin causing all the issues?

Try pushing the pin further in. If that doesn't work, it could mean the pin is misaligned so fixing it is pretty much impossible.

Agreed. I know 5 irl people that post here and collectively we have 4 PotP toys in total between us all.
I got gifted OP by my mom who even at 63 and living 500 miles away still wants me to know she thinks about me
My wife got Dreadwind because she likes the duo
JC got Beachcomber because that was his favorite G1 guy
AN got mini Skullgrin to hang out with his Generations version
ST has sworn off the brand due to stickers overtaking everything past Deluxe and I can't blame him, I know it would die at retail but I rather pay the extra $5 and get them with paint and templabels over this mess.

Honestly I expect by series end we will have 10, at most, for the whole line. Even the Terrorcons aren't selling us and many of us grew up with those guys.

Different anon but it shows the posters at the bottom right, it be easy to just look at a thread or two, add up the yeas and nays and get a general idea. Also it's pretty obvious people are not buying them like the last two lines because they are neither flying off the shelves in most places nor are we seeing a pile of people showing off their new guys here like we saw with TR, CW and what came before, hell I'm pretty sure I've seen more show off the new RiD bludgeon here than PotP guys. The line is just getting to poor for anyone to invest in. I have no idea why that anon is trying such weak bait as claiming there are people here that will buy shit no matter what because as the line gets more and more available, people are talking less about it, which is showing a low install base if any.

I travel a lot, and during Christmas only a few stores i went to had potp out.
Just because a retailer received the new shipment doesn't mean they put it out.
My local Walmart didn't put out any potp besides legends until 2 weeks ago.

Thunderwing carried the matrix after all, and they could literally just swap out his legs and alter his chest so thunderwings inner robot slides into it.
The concept for prima even indicated that remaking him for this line was the original plan, just not as thunderwing

Incorrect, they are selling cases they won't break, which isn't a good sign of the the line because if there was a hot item of the bunch BBTS shamelessly sells them higher than the other parts of the case and let's the rest sit, this is implying that there isn't even a hot toy worth breaking the case for like CW and TR had.
>>6732563
>Just because a retailer received the new shipment doesn't mean they put it out.
yup and unlike the last two lines they are staying back there rather than getting scoop up by a person requesting the case like what happen with CW a lot of the times.

Fandom has alot of posers/talkers. For what it's worth, MP Sunstreaker is in the same boat. Lots of people boasting they'd buy three be a use it was so awesome and a 50% price hike wasn't an issue. But he's still in stock, even overseas, where the poorfags that couldn't afford import price on the older releases always go to save a shekel. Says to me they're not really buying but talking it up just the same. Corroborated by glacially slow sales of extremely small quantities at retail here.

The PotP toys literally just started showing up at store's in my area.

I bought Grimlock, Slash, Slag, and Swoop. I plan on getting Sludge and Snarl along with the PE kids because I want a combined Dinobot set in my Dinobots display.

I may also get the two Battletrap legends figures as well as the Terrorcons solely to compliment my Takara Computron.

Aside from that, I'm not interested in anything from this line. I'm pretty over official releases at this point. I guess I'm just weird in that I really think Volcanicus looks cool (even without the PE kits) and I'm too OCD to pass up an Abominus that will fight my Computron.

that is totally the case with their Marvel Legends, I remember they were "sold out" of the Odin wave for ever but they were always in stock of the Odin case for fucking ever because they knew they be sol the moment they tried to sell that in pieces getting likely stuck with Sentries and Machine men.

See that's the thing, how is your perception seen as the majority? I get what that one anon is getting at, month 1 of Combiner Wars(January) we were getting photo bombed with Superions, Prime, Megs and legend sizes, Titans Return was a sea of headswaps in it's first month(August). It's been at least two months or more and we are seeing more shittposting about how bad it is than people posting pictures of their buys or even talking about their buys. You can take whatever stance you want but the writing is on the wall, the tfg isn't taking to PotP like other lines and with good reason.

The issue with modern Hasbro (and now Takara) is that there isn't any passion when making the toys. It's almost 100% business with the cost cutting, cheap plastic, stickers, and inflated prices. The figures just aren't worth what they're asking.

I'm not even interested in any more movie figures because I KNOW they're going to be shit. It's not even a question at this point.

10 years ago, when I was collecting RotF toys, I would have been a so pumped at the figures they're releasing under the Studio Series banner. But now? Why should I even care since they're almost certainly going to butcher that entire line just to save a few pennies.

So that means 3 or 4 particular anons don't like potp as much?
We got tons of pics of slash, and optimus/orion
Oh and jazz, so much so that posts were getting deleted due to having political content.
Potp isn't as exciting, it's true, since it's just extensions of the last two lines, but TR didn't really get much excitement until wave 2 hit
Galvatron and alpha trion didn't go over well here, and there were a lot of complaints about deluxes aside from hardhead.
Then wave 2 hit and bam, people started posting all the time.

different anon but we had a lot more posters and users here during combiner wars, getting 200 posters in a thread was the norm. it's been shrinking now to where getting over a hundred is impressive, we didn't even get a hundred in the last thread and that's still assuming all 92 are actual individuals and not 50 some people using two or more different IPs and the photos were everywhere. I collect most the OC shit uploaded here and my folders from 15 and 16 were clogged with different people compared to now.

You mean me? I should probably mention I sold those guys the day after I took those pics. I pretty much only got those figures because I knew I could unload them loose for more than retail to some people I know who just fill shelves.

I also do not plan to get any more of PotP besides maybe Battletrap. A combination of stickers, lazy tooling, and 3p alternatives has killed all my enthusiasm for the line. Now all I do is hope for improved KOs of official figures, especially the leaders who were on the cusp of excellence but just didn't get enough parts and paint to realize their true potential.

Tell me why sales are down! You fans might be diligent but you barely matter in total sales. Up the price, drop the quality, they expect this shit to sell as well to the general consumer?

I bought only the combiners and Slash from POTP. Rodimus is sort of interesting but if I wanted a good big version of G1 Prime there are MP10V or MPP10 which don't have fucking gray hands or an ugly truck mode.

Girmlock's torso mode is no better than Motormaster AND practically requires hands pegged to it to fill in empty spaces and cover those pointless gaps flanking the dino head. The stickers are applied fast to get the job done and are often placed poorly. Grimlock has shitty paint on both eye visors, it's either repaint them or buy another and hope they're not also fucked. His tail design is just ugly because it compresses instead of G1 folding. The clear plastic is a massive breakage risk, I've already seen Swoop's dino feet broken off on loose eBay listings. Some of the plastic is uncomfortably flexible, this is cheap grade crap they're using. I had to shave down the hole by Slug's foot to get the peg to fit in, it just flexed the plastic otherwise and would not go in. Jazz's car shell barely tabs down and had to be made of clear plastic with a lot of paint to please "muh clear windows" manbabies that like to look at interior robot kibble. Even the engineering on the new molds doesn't feel as solid as the CW deluxes- maybe because they're trying to cram it into established G1 animation model bodies rather than doing dedicated designs.

I'm big into CW now but this feels almost discouraging. CW plastic feels good, these are almost "high quality but not great KO" quality. Like I'm glad CW is getting more combiners but not glad the quality is shit and am considering even bothering further if they feel so poor. I honestly contemplated selling the Dinobots because of the poor combined mode, rather than drop $40 on a PE kit to "fix" it.

except that leader Stsracream was nearly MP quality to start with. Aside from a lack of wrist swivels and electronic shoved in, most modern MPs are about the same, showing how low the retail side of things has become when retail standard of 10 years ago is now "super expensive adult collector market' today.

I like Grimlock though. He looks big and dumb and kind of durpy. Not sure if I'll have him combined.

Look man, we can bitch about the direction the MP line is going, but 10 years ago MPs were MP Rodimus and Grimlock and the fucking Seeker mold. The early MP cars might've been the highpoint of the line, but the current offerings are still better than that.

The movie leaders were the only really complex leaders, though, and only for RotF and DoTM. UT and Animated has really simple leader class figures. In the UT, only cybertron Optimus was actually good, though emerging galvatron at least looked cool. Animated was ok, but bogged down by gimmicky electronics. All things considered, leader ultramagnus is a better figure than most of them.

I'd almost recommend straight just getting at least one version of every mold since they're all pretty good in their own ways (Except maybe Tracks/Roadrage/Loudpedal). If I had to limit myself to three, though. I'd say go for Wheeljack/Exhaust, Prowl/Streak/Smokescreen and Ironhide. They all look fantastic as vehicles, have pretty satisfying transformations and have really solid and pose-able Robot modes

Something I should add about Ironhide though is that, unless you specifically wanted Ratchet or wanted an ambulance-type vehicle, I wouldn't get Ratchet over Ironhide. Ratchet's white paint is known to be pretty prone to flaking and because Red Cross has autism fits anytime they someone using their logo they had to give Ratchet a sticker sheet full of similar but legally distinct not-red cross stickers to complete his appearance as an ambulance.
I'd also strongly recommend getting the Shadow Fisher upgrade kit for Ironhide to remove the hip panels in robot mode. They're not really bad, but he's just better with the kit.

yeah that's what makes so confusing. to get the 3rd party kit you need to buy online or have a store to shop. To get all the Hasbro Dinobots you are spending $85~$110 usd, this upgrade spikes the price to $130~$145. The weapons in the kit are not G1 style nor really even match the team well, the accessories are just huge hang offs when no combine and this is all for a set still riddle with flaws and oddities.

it's fucking add-on parts that didn't copy any existing design, you corporate whore. AND you fucking need to buy the official toy to even use them, christ you're just being an asshole over nothing to defend the corporation.

And for the most part the KO hand/foot sets are the same quality. Even the G1 colors Bruticus head/guns is good. It just seems to be the AMO stuff that's shitty, my Superion kit came with awful paints and a face pinned in so tight it won't turn. The seller promised to send me another in better condition when he gets his restock, but I'll hope to get a PE copy in the meantime, but they are almost impossible to find for sale.

I also got the AMO torso add-on for core Prime, though I ended up finding an official one for a good price after I bought that. Quality was okay but the "white" is more light gray like the Liokaiser set than the bright white of CW Core Prime. Instead of the specific Prime-type feet it has the Bruticus mold and they barely stayed clipped together.

I think either some of their first run stuff was poorer or a few companies make these KOs.

This is really the worst thing. I found for all the bitching I heard about the backpack, it's pretty easy to adjust and maneuver to get whatever pose you want. The ratchet joints don't go far enough, and can sometimes be floppy (both on my Loudpedal were fine, but Tracks had a lame knee), but you CAN fix them if you're industrious.

Nobody ever focuses on the positives of the mold, which is that it's fucking gorgeous in both modes, the flying car mode is spot-on, the proportions are slender and unique which helps it stand out from the rest of the car dudes, and the ankle joints are absolutely stellar. For all the bitching people do about the legs, Tracks can get way more poses than most other MPs simply because his ankles are so good. Seriously, good ankles are like 75% of the game on action figures. Doesn't matter how far your knees can go if the ankles can't back it up.

You either weren't there, or weren't involved in the fandom. It was the first line in America hit with widespread QC issues, since it was the first line from the beginning that had such a massive output after the movie blew open the ceiling of how much product they were putting out. More product means more chances for issues to make it through.

For me, only the left side has the dud gear with 1 dud tooth. Right side's gear is fine.

>>6733922
I suppose you can fix it by dabbing super glue>sprinkle baking soda>super glue>baking soda>... to slowly build up the tooth. You will need to do this very carefully. Anyway it's just one tooth, don't really matter.

I wouldn't be surprised, there's so many high volume data services that I can hardly believe maintain themselves on ads alone, gifycat was down too yesterday, all of these services going down simultaneously with the government shutdown makes sense. All American corporations are propped up by the Federal Reserve right now so when they use their product to pander to an extreme leftwing propaganda they're not worried about their financial bottom falling out.

I never asked for a combiner. All I wanted was some updated dinobots, but they had to put that gimmick in there and mess up Grimlock.
I'm happy displaying my dinobots seperately.

At least Slash was a cool new addition. Guess everyone can agree on that.

Could I literally get some simplistic/iconic photos of Sentinel Trump?

I got Overlord and he's really great in all his modes. I'm talking to friends and I mentioned how since he's a big destruction machine, I don't feel too horrible if he has minor paint scratches. I compared him with Sentinel Prime, whom I got because he was on sale and shelfwarming, and because I thought the Trump memes were funny. Like it or not, the sort of psychology behind "I don't care what paint/decal blemishes this figure might have, I'll enjoy the fuck out of it" mentality ended up working for Sentinel, and I'm enjoying the base mode for Overlord on my desk as we speak.

That being said, the regular people I message have no idea what I'm talking about, and for some pretty clear reason, I didn't save those Sentinel+Trump memes - they'll find it funny so please reply with a small+acceptable amount of choice Sentinel Trump photos

That being said, Overlord (got him for ~47 Canadian) was quite a steal.

Hasbroticus is totally acceptable. What you lack in Shuttle Blastoff you make up for in a lower price point, 3/4 of the limb bots being fine, and a better Onslaught deco.

Not to mention its been leaked we're getting Shuttle Blastoff state side soon.

Also, Unite Warriors Motormaster is a little too bland for my taste. The only real edge it has for me is painted hubcaps, but I can handle that on my own.

I think it's cool that the absolute trainwreck that is PotP has at least produced Slash, who has to be one of the best figures in recent years and everyone pretty much agrees. A new G1 character that we don't have to hear geewunners bitch about because it doesn't displace some other member of a stupid combiner team or whatever. I hope she sells well enough that Hasbro realizes there's a market for OCs in the generations line, and that people would rather have a good, small figure that stands on its own than a big, ugly, stickered clusterfuck ruined by a shitty gimmick.

Unless you mean the 2001 toyline? That would be pretty sweet.

Yet MORE LG G2 Megatrons on HLJ. They must keep revising their stock numbers. Pre-order away!

Weird that he seems to be the only one, though. The clones set and Windblade have remained on order stop.

I agree. I think most of PotP looks like rubbish, but the deluxe Dinobots really aren't bad, especially when you realize your next best option is to shell out multiple hundreds for 3P offerings. Grimlock is the weakest of the team, which is kind of sad, although if someone doesn't care about combining, you could just replace him with that upscaled KO floating around on ebay for 22 bucks or whatever.

So are there still like unshipped boxes of wave 5 just sitting in a warehouse somewhere in China? Or do they not produce if retailers aren't going to order the later waves?

Or the oversized ko dx9 bots, those look great but most of have qc and tolerances issues tho.

Pretty decent stand in but both of his heads look off, I sold mine but keept his accesories to use with the PotP.

Might it not be possible to swap his head with the official voyager? Really, the biggest issue with the KO head is the silver paint on the mouthplate. I think it looks pretty good here, it's just not GEEWUN. >>6734532

If you lived somewhere with good distribution, sure. But the fucking instant you have to try and buy a simple character online because your stores won't fucking stock it, you'd have already been better off buying the unite warriors version over the scalper wars versions.

I know...but are we as collectors realistically going to buy multiples of the same figures at a "premium" price point? No one wan't 20 bumblebees, The kids already got grimlock in the last series, a repaint isn't a valid reason to buy it again if it was shit the first time. Seems like the merchandisers had their heads collectively sharing space up Bay's ass.

(sorry TLK left me real bitter)

That's the one thing that sucks about HLJ. They limit their pre-orders like fucking crazy. Something will be announced, be put on order stop forever after like 5 preorders, and then stay in stock forever when they let orders again.

Compared to a yellow foot, a green foot, a fake Blast-Off chest painted onto the regular chestplate, a dark orange Blast-Off, and bland robot mode paint apps.

Hasbro's manages to have appealing color placement. Takara's looks like a block of gunmetal with silver arms tacked on.

That anon is right. While UW Motormaster is more accurate, the stunticons; in particular Motormaster; are better off not being totally accurate.

I only bought UW Bruticus for Onslaught's blue. though. I don't even care about the cartoon.
