I bought my Mirage on eBay. Too bad I can't find any around here.

The piece that forms his 'stomach' area? The floorboards that fold in? The left was a bit stiff to fold in, but I got it. The right? Snapped right off. The post is still in the hole, so it stays on fine, but it's clearly broken.

Can we get rid of the 'new thread' button on a post page? In the middle of the forum I get...but I can't count how many replies have been new posts because someone smacked the wrong button.

Better toss mine on the Bay quicklike then...

How common is this figure? I thought it wasn't particularly common, but there seems to be a lot on eBay.

Heck no. No animals.

Well...the Dinobots from G1 were cool. They had a decent transformation all around. *Not* crazy about robot modes like Megatron's in Beast Wars.

Aparently, Mirage is now out. eBay is swarmed with the figure, going for ~US$35 average.

Still waiting to see it in a B & M store, along with Optimus Prime.

Of course, it would be *great* if Wal-Mart (at least around here) would stock ANY Alternators. At all. Period. After they got rid of the red boxed ones, they haven't gotten any more.

Well, I couldn't get the video to play in my browser, but I could find the snippet of code that has the video...

Like he said...split second.

Originally posted by Aardvark Well I can and that's all that matters. If you still can't see it, go to the videos section and look for the Post No Bills: Columbia Company, Hollywood Hype video or just click on the video link if its still up on the first link. I can't get ANY videos to work. Dunno w...

Edit: Fixed the original link too

Weird...still can't see it.

Originally posted by Prowl1984 some new moulds would be nice instead of repaints.... There's a few that are coming out soon. Optimus Prime, Mirage and Rumble are all new molds. I'm less worried about THIS repaint than I am about the fourth remold of the Subara and the third remold of the Jeep.

Bah...no Wal-Mart within 50 miles (at least) has ANY Alternators, so I'll have to wait for Target. They have a TON of Sunstreakers, Skids and the other two repaints, so I forsee a long wait to even *see* these.

It's weird...when I saw the proto of Mirage I was extremely impressed with the figure. But the more photos I see of the finished figure I see, the less impressed I am. Somehow he looks *too* different.

Perhaps I'll just buy him and spraypaint him primer grey, maybe that'll make me feel better.

Alt Rumble...WOW. I was a bit worried after that Optimus Prime abortion, but now my faith has been restored.

Yikes! And I've been scouring the store looking for him, too.

Perhaps I'll wait for Nemesis Prime, maybe they'll get it right by then.

Can't wait for Mirage!

The only thing I don't like are those darn things on his shoulders. Should have designed him to have them fold away or something. They look like crap.

I am *really* looking forward to Mirage. Think he looks especially sharp.

Knowing what we do about how VW feels on the subject, I'm not holding my breath.

That said, I'd pay good money for a Bumblebee Alternator. I'd kitbash one, but I have no sk1llz.

Originally posted by Clay You can actually fix that... you can unscrew the legs and then reinstall them on the opposite knees so that they can bend. You end up with the rear of the car being the front of the legs, which is a little different, but it's much easier to pose the toy that way, and it do...

Originally posted by Sir Auros Huh, I'm pretty sure I got this right myself without messing with the directions. I did look at them, but they're so completely useless for this line, that I'm surprised Hasbro even wastes paper on the things. Seriously, I should try writing an article about how crapp...

OP wouldn't look so bad if it wasn't for those things on his shoulders.
