The gun sucks and I wish they’d literally just reversed the leg assembly so the planes were on the front but otherwise superion is neat

Firefight and sky dive: neat
Silverbolt is nifty. I love that you can jokingly use the superior head in robot mode

Yeah. I’m happy with this from Hasbro. Still very intrigued by that mecha invasion iteration of Devastator though

Version 2.0 of the Luna Ring came today. It took a solid 5 minutes to actually get it to pair, including uninstalling the app and reinstalling it so my old one wasn’t detected. No guide either , other than for first timers. Ugh.

I swear I’m gonna look into a better company.

Been a minute since I updated this thread.

Craftsman toys Burst Gallop & Light Strike -whatever the bike is named & Scattorshot .

Honestly both are really good. I’m super intrigued by where this set is going. Fun, intuitive transformations look good in both modes.

Instructions are shit

I complained about that, as they should’ve tracked down all initial backers (they have our info) to offer a discount. My complaints got a 25% discount and then 2 days later I got an email for $100 off.

I pounced with the latter. My original one is having so many issues

Steelphoenix8 @steelphoenix8.bsky.social · 5d

The amount of targeted ads I got for this thing, I have to original, was nuts. The company didn’t even reach out to initial backers/customers (any social
Media chat is completely dead or I left the one that got pointless) to offer a discount

Steelphoenix8 @steelphoenix8.bsky.social · 5d

Wait. This is a an actual thing?

It’s intriguing to me how there’s always one choice a celebrity crush of mine (and it’s usually something completely random and never heinous) makes that literally takes my crush on them down several notches.

I wonder if this is why they completely nerfed the original. Would make sense. Planned obsolescence
