General Transformers Discussion / Re: Commemorative Soundwave

October 09, 2012, 08:21:28 PM

Just in case anyone has any doubt, this should definitely be a new listing.  There are notable differences between this release and the original commemorative reissue.  Mine arrived from BBTS today and I've taken it out of the box.  Still using Soundblaster retool, but I've noticed the following:

Gold 'foil' paint around the tape deck is now more of a bronze-ish color.
Silver paint on face is glossier
Eyes are yellow - Doesn't have that greenish-tinge of past Hasbro releases as far as I can tell, but I'll need to double check again in different lighting.
Stickers are pre-applied - no label sheet included.
Tampographed "CE" on the back right just below head and above battery compartment.
22201 molded under battery compartment next to original copyright - same as imprinted on the box.
Tampographed "2012 Hasbro SA/Tomy Copyright " on underside of crotch.

**EDIT**
Probably biggest difference - Laserbeak's lasers have been child-proofed.  Shortened about 1/3".  So retool on this one.  You can see clearly in Spliff's photo above, even.

Transformers News / Re: Reissue Fort Max, who's excited?

October 09, 2012, 07:08:18 PM

THe price is ridiculous! No way jose! I mean, Brave Max for both Car Robots and Car-Bot was only $125-150 or so. I know people will be paying that price but I really don't have a need for it. Someday perhaps, but not a high priority in the least bit.

That was $100-$150 10+ years ago.  Times have changed and dollar has lost a lot of ground against the yen.  Around 107 yen in 2000 versus around 79 now = $1.00.   $350 is expensive, but seems about right considering above and other points made in this thread.

Did not hesitate to pre-order mine.

Pop-up wasn't marked, thanks for the tip. However, receive email always was set.  I know the email works as I use the same one everywhere.  Oh well, not a big deal.

Auto dectect fixed it.  My setting was -6.  Auto updated it to 2 and now post times are correct.  New there was something here for me to try, just to stupid to find it.

Thanks for the info!

I don't see a location (or can't find it) to set my Time Zone, but look at my post times.. shows almost 2:00am, but clock on my computer shows 1 minute until 10:00am (Central).  Some other clock in use?

I'm not sure this has ever worked for me.  I remember checking it a while ago and same result.  Figured I'd mention it this time since may have been a work in progress before (or still is?)

The page comes up:  "http://www.shmax.com/product_queue"

'We can't seem to find this page. Tell you what, we'll hunt around for it some more later, but for now, please check your number and dial again.'

I'm never notified when a submission has been reviewed or if I get a new PM.  I changed my email address, but still same result.   Is there a setting, possibly, that I'm missing somewhere?

September 02, 2012, 01:59:09 PM

I'm sure you have the details of how to use the reissue of thingy posted around here somewhere, but would you mind reposting exactly when this should and should not be.  For example, the recent Sixshot release is a reissue of the original (or reissue of the recent reissue), but it's colored differently.  So would this reissue tag be used for that or only for 're-releases' of figures (i.e. manufacturer decides to produces another run) and/or identical reissues?

Thanks, man!

As a mod, I definitely wouldn't want the (m) removed, I use that all the time. When working on 10-15 records at the same time, I don't want to be going to the actual page that require making extra clicks. If there's a way for it to be hidden for normal members, sure go ahead and "remove it" on their view. I'm sure Mike would agree with me, that (m) is invaluable for us.

Got your point.  Would be nice for them to be hidden for us gerbils.  I'm not sure if Shmax' reply above was stating that they were hidden.  If it was, I still see the (m).
