Thanks! Yup there will definitely be more Joes in between the TF ones. .especially since i just recently fell down a major Classified rabbit hole! 😅

Cool you still have it :)

Marvel Shockwave is what made the guy relevant. Period. I mean he was basically a joke in the cartoon.

Cool I really wish Diaclone made an anklyosaur from the very start! It was unique and iconic enough in my opinion :)

You mean Slam? I believe Hasbro FINALLY made an Anklyosaur for their core class Dinobots. Forgot what they named him but if they do a leader version to go with the SS86 Dinobots, I'm IN!

The thing with Devy though was that all six were the same size whereas the thennewer teams had a bigger central bot so I guess it evens out?

Nice! What were you collecting previously? Congrats on finding LOP. Never had it but I'm sure it's a great piece!

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf I was collecting CHUG (standard Hasbro) scale but I dropped it and sold them off because I wanted something that would look nicer in a display.

@41dn cool I'm still doing CHUG as well :) as my daughter put it, one for play and the other for display :) after LOP what are your next targets?

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf to clarify I sold off my CHUG collection 😅 At the time uhhhh earthrise Optimus didn't release (and as of this comment SS86 hasn't either, for anyone reading later) I did get the party wallop but he's being displayed with my ninja turtles. I'm gonna look for other masterpiece/third party things, like Megatron, bumblebee, or favorites, I just want to restart with the GOAT (Honestly I play with my display stuff lmao)

@41dn yes I got that you sold your chugs 😅 sorry I worded myself wrong too. How is Party Wallop? I'm not too big on the crossover stuff. Only one I got was Gigawatt. Good luck with your MP collection! I actually do like transforming my MPs from time to time. I personally love the extra challenge :)

Glad to know my blatant plug worked ! Welcome to the channel and THANK YOU for the sub!

Kababayan! Happy independence day to us! :)

Fingers crossed I wouldn't be surprised if they released a Missing Link Shockwave sooner rather than later!

Nice which one did you pick up?

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf siege Optimus and ironically legacy united animated Optimus 😂😂

@@Big_006 both excellent choices! :) now all we need is an animated Ratchet in Legacy and we’ll have the main autobot team ;)

He he I think that's the point they wanted to make. Make it close to identical to the Encore packaging which itself was a callback to the original :)

Thanks! Glad you caught that 👍👍👍

That's a popular theory 😅

Awesome that you have an original one! Just out of curiosity which 3p are you leaning towards and why?

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf As the time of choosing in your vid, TE was the clear winner. However, with the release of the revised MS version (light of peace) it's hard to decide! Both have very nice flat truck beds in vehicle mode (I'm keen on realistic vehicle modes!) and have minimal fake vehicle parts in robot mode (something which I dislike seeing in many modern transformers). Agh, the burden of choice!!! 😁

@@MatthewCaunsfield ha ha yeah..as of now I still have TE. BUT I would be lying if I said I wasn't SORELY tempted by Magic Square's 2.0 Prime....maybe one day...when I need a proper "toy deco" version of Prime 🤣🤣🤣

They did? I didn't know that....interesting :)

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf they called It mp p 10 they Just added another p to the name.

​@@Alexprime-ve1od Oh Ok, thats the OS KO version from Wei Jiang....I don't think they fixed the proportions on that one though...just a straight up upscaled knock off If I remember right :)

If they continued deep into the line...would you be all in? :)

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf I would. I would really love to see how they would handle the Seekers. Starscream is my favourite TFer... so to see him done justice, that would be a real feat.

@Sturmvapor YES! how they would pull off the arms and the parts forming hands would be interesting. I LOVE Seekers. Thundercracker is my favorite but by association m a fan of Skywarp and Starscream. I have my own special seeker collection. Any version of those three I can get my hands on I get :)

That was rather unfair of him 😅 do you have any Primes now?

None right now. I’m just getting back into collecting. I have the Haslab Omega Prime ordered. I back it with the intent on selling for a profit. But the more I looked at I knew that wouldn’t happen. So I made the decision that I would only collect the updated issues of 2001 TF: RID. Along with Omega Prime I have the New Sideburn on order. I’m currently looking for reasonably priced Velcotron Scourge. I thought only fitting to use a mishmash of differently lines since that is how the series was made.

@cdl001 nice It does seem like Hasbro is finally giving some modern love to RiD and unicron trilogy. Which is great for its fans...I'm a little older so I wasn't into collecting when they were out. But they do look cool!

I most definitely grew up on G1 and the cartoon. But I’ve alway been weird about the things I like. 2001 TF: RID is kind of forgotten. It is not G1 or Unicron trilogy but it is important in Transformer history. It kept the line going between Beast Machines and The Unicron Trilogy

@@cdl001 yup I remember it being a big deal when it was announced...like a back to basics robots transforming into vehicles again after years of Beast Wars. But for some reason I never got into it.

I can somewhat agree with you on that. There are so many options for Prime that it would be quite difficult to just stick to one...unless you're just a casual collector...ornhate Prime 😅

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf I mean I feel like a casual collector wouldn't be the kind of person who is trying to have a "complete" collection. And I'm pretty sure there are no more than 5 real human beings who genuinely hate prime who ever have or will existed. Maybe a specific version of prime, but not the whole idea of him.

@jeremiahsacks2868 good points :) I have to say I really like your thought process on this. Aside from admiring certain collectors with "hundreds" of Primes in their collection, a pert of me wonders if it's kind of overkil. But listening to your thoughts on the matter does give a new perspective on it. 👍👍👍

Well there's no time like the present to get one :) what do you collect? Main retail or MP?

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf mostly main retail, I really like earthrise but unfortunately that guy is pretty hard to find for a decent price

MP collecting seems fun, I’ve handled a few MP figures but with their larger sizes and higher price points it’a unfortunately not a viable option for me so I opt with main line stuff like studio series

@PaperJody I'm sure it will only beba matter of time before they either reissue or release a better version 👍

@PaperJody totally understandable. Mp is best for those who love to display. Not so much transform. And mainline retail had made so many positive strides these past few years that it's really fun to collect :)

Ha ha thanks! What nailed it? My awful i-knees joke? 🤣🤣🤣 are you eyeing any Primes to get in the near future?

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Definitely the joke hahahaha. Your accent made me think you were one too. I am considering getting ER Prime but for now I am saving up money for the Autobots Stand United 5 Pack. I want that Hound and Sunstreaker.

@rocksolid1010 yeah I need that Hound! I'm torn over the others. Even if it's supposedly more fragile I prefer the clear plastic windshields of the first releases. Good luck to us both 👍

Yup he was a star and rightfully so. He was cool for what he was, the berserker with an inner struggle to be better. And still part of a team. Hugh Jack man's version changed that IMHO. Made him into a clean cut leading man. At the expense of all the other Xmen I mean I LIKE most of the live action movies but iconic members like Storm, Colossus and especially Cyclops were basically non factors because all the focus was on Logan and in later movies Mystique....

That is....a cool take dude! Sort of like a perverse opposite of how IDW treated him. Nice! 👍

A while new context behind Primes "give me your face" line 👍

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf Thanks for the positive opinion!

@@davegoodwin1848 👍👍👍

@@davegoodwin1848 it's a cool idea :)

Yeah one redeeming and attractive aspect of Logan was that he was constantly trying to overcome his berserker side...but they went too far the other way trying to make him the new professor x and moral compass of the group. It took away his edge. Yup I love Kurt too! He's so much the heart of the team.

Nice on the authentic boxed prime! Hope it didn't cost you an arm and a leg! As for Missing Link...this toy is special. It also took me awhile to get around to opening it since it didn't seem like a big deal...but that toy is pur nostalgia magic. Sort of like when Mp01 came out..but in a different way :)

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf ❤️

👍👍👍

Hey thanks! Super appreciate your positive feedback :) and glad to have you on board! Thanks for checking out the xmen video too! I think I'm way past my prime though 🤣🤣🤣 getting OLD 🤣🤣🤣

Wow that is an awesome price! If they're MIB they should be worth a good buck today 👍

I never played the game but from what I saw he did look awesome which is why for me the toy was extra disappointing. Yes hopefully a 3rd party company will do an improved version. Or even Hasbro as they seem to be releasing updated versions of their gamer line.

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf still holding out hope for Planet X since they seem to do good with the Cybertron figures, but at this rate, it will probably be Studio Series Gamer Edition... And honestly with their current figures I fear that they will break quickly

@@FlameGirlPlays-gq9xv yeah Planet X would be a great choice...was really tempted by their DInobots...but I just couldn't justify their purchase :P Didn't get into the gamer editions...are they really that fragile?

@@StoriesFromTheToyshelf so far mainly Bee and Cliffjumper. Their backpacks just don't give enough clearance for folding the legs up under them and as a result, are always popping right off

@FlameGirlPlays-gq9xv OK at least the others are better? 👍
