That T-Spark Hot Rod looks like it transforms into the Batman Tumbler with a spoiler.

[@josephmonroy3865]

Saw the computron silhouette, clicked IMMEDIATELY!!!

[@frankierivera5451]

HEY Mike,The missing link bumblebee and cliffjumper are supposed to be $35 Happy Mother's day to all the Mother's for the Toys they got us and for the one's they didn't that kept us collecting

[@BlackArroToons]

That Rubix Cube Robot former is cool to see. Reminds me of the Gobots Rock Lords. Cool they finally got the Emperor's chair. Micro Galaxy Battledroids, that's new. Thanks, Mike.

[@Scotty-Z70]

back in the 80s, Power Master Optimus Prime was my favorite OP. I had so much fun transforming him over and over. During Machine Wars i loved the jets, too.

[@lancertreepuffer]

31:42 I'm about 20 deep in this set and I always loved micro machines as a kid and really wasn't able to have any of them. So this just scratches that nostalgia itch for me and I love to customize them and give them ink washes, but the one thing I don't like is that they're not actually scaled to the tiny figures of the people and I wish they was. Then they would be amazing.

[@manuelsalgado9457]

Hello Mike, I just want to wish everybody a Happy Mother's Day. To all your viewers and especially to you.

[@Roadpigjohn]

$300+ Optimus Prime? Too much for me but looks cool Mike. I can get behind a Haslab for that amount but that's it. 😀☕💡✌️

[@jasonposgai7011]

Can’t wait for Ambush Bug and Cheeks the toy wonder from Mcfarlane

[@Rangatology]

“…I don’t do 12”, but I don’t mind it from afar…”, TMI, Mike! 😂 Yes my mind is in the gutter, hahaha, but I don’t care. I’m about to start work & can’t even giggle out loud at inadvertent lines like this. Thank for the laugh mate 😂

[@Blazingstoke]

You know who really needs a Missing Link toy is Rodimus Prime. Probably be a while before they get to him, though.

[@punaforager]

I thought I read the retail on missing link bumblebee and Cliffjumper was $38.00.

[@nwoking666]

That 3rd party CA770? I think based off the robot mode and the car design is a Robot Transformer of Kato from the Green Hornet. Note the hat and the mask on the robot mode. Just a guess.

[@dominiks_geeky_life_2]

I predict that the FlameToys Rodimus is going to retail for around 150-200 USD, considering their similarly high end transforming dino Megazord retailed for roughly 500 USD.

[@DragoonMS]

The G1 Powermaster Optimus Prime for me *WAS* my G1 Optimus Prime. I had to wait a couple days extra, but it was a present for my 11th birthday. Wish I still had it, or at least gotten the Commemorative Series reissue. Next step was Takara's LGEX God Ginrai set...it has its flaws, but for now, it's definitely my choice for a CHUG scaled modern take on PMOP/Ginrai. And while I missed Fans Hobby's Power Baser stuff (I want the orange Fire Guts repaint!!), I wouldn't mind gettin' the MPG9 instead. That silhouette pic of Computron looks kinda similar to the Warbotron one. And Kay Bee?? Whoooooo...the memories. The budget friendly (and apparently exclusive to Kay Bee Toys) Power Rangers Heroes line of reissues is how I managed to get a complete Power Rangers Timeforce team back then for 30 bucks plus tax (the indimavidual figures were five bucks)...it was kinda cheating because Timeforce to Ninja Storm basically used the bike figures. I could've had Lightspeed Rescue, but Bandai America screwed that up: Red, Blue, Green, & Titanium were the figures from the respective Mega Battle armor sets, and they didn't do Pink & Yellow that way, so no cheap reissues for the girls. "Way more expensive than the first go around"...sounds exactly like that Titans Return Fortress Maximus reissue being 200 when the original was 160. Ultimate cash grab when they KNOW it's just a reissue with next to no differences. I do hope they drop another reissue of Shaak Ti (with _ACTUAL GOOD DISTRIBUTION _), though...

[@kylejohnson5386]

Good morning! That T-Spark Roddy looks great! I really hope HasTak continues with these newer style figs! Wondertrans has already done a couple transforming Flametoys figs... Maybe this move is to dissuade Wondertrans?

[@henrymatos9551]

Hello Mike! I'm digging that transforming T-Spark Hot Rod! Interested with the transforming Rubik's cube. I always wondered if a Rubik's cube could transform how would it look like. Wanted to point out the Motor Master for Rising Force is coming out and is just at $100. For that price I'm taking all of the combiner parts will come that figure.

[@lareh5501]

33:17 showz has (or at least a few days ago had) some of the maketoys seekers on sale (but not in the flash area 🤷🏾‍♂️) I got a few doubles of their available convention exclusives for about $60 bucks each.

[@wasabi-in-my-eye3134]

Mondo sky sled thunder tank pricing doesn't make sense. Mondo deluxe skeletor with dragon and 3 different torso armour plus cape and terror claws is 265. I think the sky sled should be 150 max.

[@Roadpigjohn]

Ok on bossfightstudios Zorro, I will wait till the release Sgt. Garcia in there articulated version since I'm collecting all the figures from their Zorro line Mike. There are very cool. Zorro with Tornado the horse, the stand alone version, the Antonio Banderas movie version with Elena and the Gay Blade two pack...😀😁✌️💡☕

[@dubuyajay9964]

Since I want to set up a display with a modern/future Zorro, I will probably pass on the Sgt.

[@FFFFPPPP]

The entire Blue Beetle Super Powers wave (including vehicles) and MOTU Masterverse Mekanek wave and TMNT MOTU Ram Man wave are hitting multiple Walmarts in Tulsa area. Krang is all over too. The MOTU Filmation Trap-Jaw and Teela are also there now along with Mcfarlane vampire Nightwing and Wally West Flash. All the newest Classified figs like Quick Kick, Airborne and Big Boa are at every WM and Target. Those neca tmnt sold out online but you can find all of it easy. The only thing Ive never seen is the Gargoyles figure but he’s online last I checked. Those Hiya GI joe are not on BBTS. Those are only available on import sites. That Emperor with throne was going for hundreds of dollars on eBay so who cares if it barely costs more? It’s a steal since it’s exactly the same as what would cost you $200-300. The box is different, though.

[@elroberto4051]

I hope Boss Fight Studios makes a Tarzan Power Stars figure. It would be cool if they made some female characters for that line as well.

[@lancertreepuffer]

19:57 😆 nice

[@frankierivera5451]

Bbts had the rubiks cube for 94.99

[@tntneonprime]

Fanshobby version of Power Master prime is a lot better than Takara Tomy version. Also, Fanshobby is reissuing him. Be blessed

[@johnlatella674]

Man i love ur content keep it up

[@stephenmiller4091]

If you know about Impossible Toys, then those missing link bumblebee and cliffjumper aren't anything new. They had their own version that did the exactly the same thing and look the same but were far cheaper.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

That T-Spark Rodimus Prime looks good but I can already tell the limited articulations.

[@Roadpigjohn]

No no no no no frustrated about the Super 7 line Mike... Come on... Blame McFarlane for that Batman line...😁✌️💡☕

[@Thor13332]

I need Zorro to be at least 6 inches tall. 5 is too short for ml scale and too tall for 3.75.

[@user-dn4qd9zn2z]

That bumblebee and Cliff jumper is a hard hard pass for me, I bought the prime for a little over $70 and it was really good, but no way in gods green earth am I gonna pay more than $30 for bumblebee, or no more than $55 for a two pack, idk what Hasbro is thinking but they’re definitely losing it

[@dumpsterfire7916]

I loved your "shill" video from yesterday 🤣... Great channel. Mondo is so nice but ouch on the wallet

[@peterbrown7621]

Hey TH it would be helpful if you could and chapters to your videos for those that just want a particular toy.

[@rockhammer0]

The Lizhiang Biangzin (or however you spell that) is clearly supposed to be the Black Beauty car from the Green Hornet TV show, in which Bruce Lee played Cato (the driver and sidekick/partner to the Green Hornet). He wore a cap like the bot mode sports in those pics. So it sort of is a character. Note that the license plate also spells something like Cato.

[@miragexl007]

Maybe it's just in my head nowadays cause, I've cut back, i'm cutting back...but most, this stuff is boring.
