Jokes aside,its great to see diamondbolt still Care about his transformers content from the very start of his Channel in the 2010's,which is cool as hell
It does right? It's sad to see Bolt not uploading any of those good ol Transformers content much but we all still subscribed to him. And on occasion, Bolt does come back and make some Transformers vids
1:15 LOL that Skywarp seller was me! Honestly saved me the hassle of going down the rabbithole of seeker collecting. I'll keep an eye out for Ramjet and Dirge for ya 😂
"Well, it finally happened. I ran out of money." Has to be the GREATEST opening line in any video I've ever seen in my life, especially as a (casual) Transformers collector as well. XD🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was also specifically regarding RED, so I wouldn't be sure about that meaning guaranteed Animated Legacy stuff... but of course, just today the hasbro design team says they actually WANT to do Animated stuff in Legacy, and there aren't any rights issues holding them back or anything, so... guess my comment aged poorly.
I'm finally glad that Hasbro is finally moving on from just making G1 figures with the upcoming Legacy wave. That Armada Starscream looks sick and I can't wait for the Armada Megatron to be shown. I really do hope the rumored Studio Series does feature the WFC/FOC ones, that WFC Barricade is a dream to me. I've always wanted to own one, after playing WFC.
I've really been loving the Transformers toys this year. Legacy has been so awesome right now as it feels like anything can come from the line, which is very exciting. But my personal favorite figure of this year so far is from Studio Series. SS90 AOE Galvatron is so darn impressive. Not only because of how much of a glow up it is from the original voyager by basically inverting the entire truck cab instead of having a huge backpack, but also how fricking early he became available. Like, Transformers toys really do be wacky like that sometimes.
Just wished he had done a Jobbythehong collaboration with reviewing the toys. But I know that they’re in different place on Earth. Man I’ve been watching the G1 season 2 of Transformers and I’m glad that I’m reliving my childhood.
They can only do so many studio series figures until they get to Skids and Mudflap… both figures of skids and Mudflap, the ice cream truck and the cars.
Watching this just makes realize that by the time I get a job and other insignificant stuff like school and a house, most of these figures will be long gone and unless hasbro has a decently good line at the time, I will never have any of the figures I want. I also can't wait to see them do animated that's gonna be fun
Good to see the distribution in Australia still hasn't changed. I tried collecting the Power Rangers Lightning Collection figures but due to the distribution I eventually gave up as a lot of the waves of figures never arrived at retail.
Seeing your toy collection is such an awe inspiring sight for me. I really want to collect more toys, expand my collection and get that childhood satisfication that I could never afford as a child. Guess that's one thing about being a working adult, huh? Hopefully I don't run out of money though, that would be bad b̶u̶t̶ ̶l̶b̶h̶ ̶i̶m̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶a̶b̶l̶y̶ ̶g̶o̶n̶n̶a̶ ̶r̶u̶n̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶l̶o̶l̶...
I started collecting around POTP, and even then it was kinda casually. I’m glad to know that there are $100 decorated pieces of plastic that I can ask for my bday now 🙃
I personally enjoy watching reviews after I get the figure in question. It helps me see different perspectives on something I have or points out something I may have missed and helps me appreciate the figure even more. Early bird or stolen toy reviews don't really interest me all that much for this reason.
Another great video, I love it when you talk about TFs in your videos. Also, Legacy is extending past one year, listings have surfaced for Wave 5 and beyond, with characters such as Armada Megatron and TFP Skyquake being included.
I just started buying transformers and this video helped me so much. I had no idea about the size classes. Thank you so much! I hope you do more of these every now and then for newer collectors.
Something I actually realized about the Walgreens exclusives is outside of the prime wars figures (brainstorm, Wingspan & Cloudraker, and Wreck-gar) and Earthrise Bluestreak they've been giving us medic characters with Minerva being the latest one. I feel like earthrise ratchet would have been there instead of Bluestreak but probably got refused so they didn't have the same character two years in a row
Nice to see Toys Are Russ getting some love, genuinely one of my favourite Transformer channels. An excellent collection being shared by a really lovely guy.
I only just saw Wave One of Legacy in my stores and I've only ever seen Voyagers and Leaders in person like 3 months ago, but believe me that's a good thing when their prices are three times the price of the other guys that I spend my life's savings on.
The problem with reviewing stolen figures is that the trend to change the release day of the figures a good example is with the wreckers line it was supposed to be original release on November but now because all of the figures have been review by people that buy stolen merchandise it got change to now i had to cancel all of my pre orders cause i don't have the funds to buy them now and probably won't be able to get them down the line either like with the coneheads seekers and other figures cause i won't pay ridiculously high prices for figures in the third market either
14:39 Same, man. I would go to my local Walmart every day after my shift at work, and I would check to see if they had any figures. They had a SURPLUS of Netflix Bumblebees, and only *1* Netflix Soundwave in the entire thing.
I love these types of videos I love hearing about some else’s interests and I relate to this video heavily as I collect Godzilla figures and I know the pain of spending my money on multiple variations of the same thing
Finding transformers, even the most common ones in South Africa is nearly impossible and shipping and aftermarket prices are insane. I hate being a figure collector here.
I’ve gotten very few transformers in the last few months just because they are almost impossible to find here in Ireland and they cost your soul to buy, I originally wanted just to collect the ss86 figures but they began making more than I could store and afford at the same time, I also collect Star Wars and Lego stuff so it became a priority thing for me but I want to get back at it
I love the studio series. As a kid I would go every week and blow my allowance on a Bayformer toy. Never felt true nostalgia until I picked up Studio Series Blackout. I just accept the toys are the best part of the movie franchise. The films are just bad, but I love the character designs.
Thanks diamondbolt I just bought a bunch of Transformers on Amazon because of this video even though I told myself I was done collecting them. ….. thx for helping me get back to my addiction.
9:31 You do realise the Revenge of the Fallen Constructacons can combine into Devastator, right? Like, I assume you know. But the fact you don't touch on it at all, despite making the scrotum joke, has me second guessing myself. They even released the complete set of Constructacons in one box and called it Studio Series #69, you can't make this shit up. Plus there's a 3rd party upgrade kit including Devastator's balls, along with various other panels and tubes that make the combined monstrosity even more film accurate. I've displayed my Constructacons as Devastator ever since I got them all, and he looks great. Also saves a ton of space, assuming you have enough headroom to accomodate his height.
It seems like everything in the collecting scene is taking ages to get released. 1/6 scale figures for example have like 2 year wait times from preorder pretty regularly. On the topic of transformers specifically though, have you seen threezero’s transformers figures? They’re seriously impressive.
I remember Fortnite had a colab with Hasbro and announced a figure of one of the characters, which would not release until over a year after, and even then when the release date came they delayed it by another month, its super annoying
So glad to see my boy toys r Russ getting some love. He has such a genuine channel and you really see how he just loves this franchise and enjoys talking about some plastic
10:10 tbh there hasn't been any transformers toyline in India sonce freaking wave 1 of earthrise. Hasbro for god sake release lefacy and studio series 86 in India already. PLEASE. 🙏
See, what I see happen is people push Bulkhead's head down and steal Silverstreak's head. Also, I've waited for almost 100 figures in the main Studio Series. They can't avoid Skids and Mudflap forever. And the distribution is horrendous here in the U.S. because I found Kingdom Galvatron and Ultra Magnus at Target around 6 months after their release. I got an Earthrise Optimus Prime at a bookstore months after his release. I saw a freaking army of Origin Bumblebees. Never once did I see over half of the Studio Series figures in stores. I got a secondhand Jetfire by a miracle, and I'm overjoyed that they are releasing an autobot 5-pack with Ironhide. Also Kingdom Pipes never showed his ugly mug around here. We just get clumps of the same few figures.
