And for my likely last purchase of the year, Victory Saber has arrived! I think mine's due tomorrow. After I don't know how many "It's shipping soon™!" emails, they finally actually shipped the damn things. Excitement is palpable.

Dont have a shipping notice yet but saw on Fed Ex there is a label created from Pulse so hopefully mine will ship soon. Masterverse Fisto GI Joe Classifed Dusty Velocitron Galaxy Shuttle

Star Saber came yesterday. He's pretty cool. I'm happy with him, but I'm feeling him like I feel about Titans: Where the fuck do I put him?

Victory Saber did come in on Friday. My only real complaint is the hollow gaps on Leo's cannons, which look pretty fugly in both Leo's bot mode and attached to Victory Saber. I also had to take a file and grind down the gray part of Star Saber's right foot so the red part could physically pass over it. Good ol' Hasbro quality control. All in all though, it ticks all the boxes. For the first time being able to have Victory Leo and combine into the full package outside Japan, this is a long time wishlist item crossed off. Star Saber came yesterday. He's pretty cool. I'm happy with him, but I'm feeling him like I feel about Titans: Where the fuck do I put him? I honestly had no concept of how big this figure was going to be until I got it. Space-wise, he's not too bad. He's actually a bit shorter than Legacy Menasor. I just don't have a shelf right now where he fits thematically. Other stuff that came in: Legacy Dead End Legacy Break Down Legacy Core Shockwave SS86 Spike SS86 Ironhide

Got Victory Saber in. Haven't taken him out yet but everything looks present and accounted for. And the gold on the chests looks ok.

Thankfully the QC on mine was just fine. The only issue I have is with the Micromasters, and that's just because those toys were pieces of shit in the first place. (Seriously, I think t says something with the original 30 year old toys were better than the newer ones.)

(Seriously, I think t says something with the original 30 year old toys were better than the newer ones.) I'm trying to sell all my WFC Micromasters now. I don't regularly buy reissues but I would rather buy reissue Micromasters and bases over alot of the newer ones they put out.

(Seriously, I think t says something with the original 30 year old toys were better than the newer ones.) The OG Micromasters are some of the best toys in G1, period. They're really well designed, especially considering how small they are. So yeah, no excuse for the new ones to be garbage.
