The Iron Knight

So today we've got this guy for sale. You will get everything as shown above (part inventory has been checked with both Peeron and Bricklink), and the instructions can be provided upon request. I'm looking to sell it for about $37 USD, shipped, but I do have a couple things I'm looking to trade for, namely the Breakout renditions of Surge, Evo, and Rocka (they don't have to be MISB or have their instructions, but they do have to be complete and in good condition). Thanks for looking, everyone, and have an awesome day!

I actually think that the Hulk has a decent torso design; I personally like it more than Stormer's, especially with how the arms/shoulders have been handled. It's not perfect, but definitely a neat concept. That said, I think it could use one of the HF torso shells on the back.

After taking another look at this image, I've noticed that Stringer's eyes look pretty dark for the regular trans-light blue Glatorian head we've gotten from Strakk, Stormer, and some others. More new Glatorian head colors for the summer, maybe?

Man, another Black Phantom helmet? I mean, I appreciate the occasional mask recolor, but that's three of the same mask in the same year, and two in the same wave... The vehicle itself looks all right, though it's kind reminiscent of the Furno Bike (maybe Speed Demon stole and modded it). EDIT: There's a purple Skrall armor piece on that bike. Never mind, I'm sold.

Or along the lines of Waspix. Too bad, I would've loved to see an Umbra-esque titan, maybe with a Witch Doctor-style build and a slightly eccentric color scheme going on. Oh well, I'm still completely curious. I believe Speed Demon even had the same price point as the Witch Doctor on one of those European toy sites.

Could be that the Marvel sets have a massive amount of Wolverine spammed throughout. Not that that'd be surprising, haha.

All I'm hoping for is that Breakout will continue into the summer, having Stormer, Bulk, Stringer, Nex, and maybe a new hero (wouldn't mind a Thresher set) as the protagonists. Maybe a villain with a build similar to the Witch Doctor will be amongst the summer wave's sets.

Sideways, by any chance? Likely not, but he's hopped into every continuity thus far, I think.

Well, it's generally been assumed that HF will at least continue into 2012, given that LEGO's said they have no plans to end it. That said, HF has only had two years, so it would in theory at least continue into 2013.

It'll last as long as it does. There's no way of telling.

There's this one, Cap'n.

You can always just add the claw or saber piece in with Pick-a-Brick, which I also hope updates real soon. Though you could also just have the claw as a separate weapon from the gun, right? That's what I had my last iteration of Fortis have. EDIT: The gallery's up and I tried to purchase a hero with the black/silver chest. Nope, they're not allowing that to be purchased, unfortunately. Too bad...

I've not seen any exclusive elements, but the black/silver chest is still available. Hopefully it'll be for a little while longer; one can almost make a complete Merrick Fortis out of the updated interface.

Black Phantom could totally pull off being a remake of Von Nebula based on the name alone. I hope that name's legit, haha.

Well, a preview of sorts has been put up on the NickToons website: Preview

I think that I'll not be buying any of them, but I will admit that Megatron's and Optimus Prime's head molds look really really cool. That said, the figures themselves look pretty awkward as far as poseability goes, and even in general aesthetics. Also, even though I'm not super shocked, you should check out the little minifig Transformers that are packaged with the big bots; they have a decent resemblance to LEGO's minifigs (albeit with better articulation). is a decent enough review displaying Megatron. I'm pretty sure Prime's review is in the suggestions.

I've been thinking about making a Fortis as well, though the price has made me start putting it off. I'm hoping to buy one soon, though, if not just to get one of the black/silver chest pieces. I'm mainly going by this image of him, and what I threw together really wasn't that off, cladding positioning and shoulder caps aside:

Dude. Unintentional genius. Oh man, that's actually pretty cool. The silver never really bothered me too much, but now I've an excuse not to be bothered by it, haha!

Heh, it's cheaper than Amazon's asking price for a new one. I'll be sure to check eBay, but thanks a lot for your help, man. For another general question, what do people think of the Voyager-Class DoTM Shockwave and the RotF Ravage? I've never actually bought a Transformers figure before, and I feel it's about time I get at least one as a fan of the line in general, haha.

Hey, does anyone know if places in the US still sell this model of Soundwave? I've tried searching for it on Amazon, but they've sold out, it seems...

I was never too interested in Ninjago, but this set (and the other dragons) looks really great, so I'm hoping to pick this set up at some point.

Well, there's this in regards to an Hero Recon Team update.

Furno grin's the weirdest thing ever, I swear. On the plus side, it looks like we'll maybe get some decent shots of Stringer and Bulk 2.0. That's good for wiki purposes, I suppose.

I was thinking more of the recolored shells, like Batman's shoulder's or the green shells on Green Lantern, but I wouldn't doubt if a lot of pieces stayed exclusive to the Superhero lime.

The skeleton pieces and shells and cores, yeah, though I'm not sure about the actual chest pieces...
