The fact his heli mode so strongly resembles a copyright-neutral Pave Low has me desperately wanting a Blackout redeco. Do it HasTak, I will absolutely double-dip this mold for Blackout.
@@ORLY911 Barry deserves another go using the Chase mold. It'd be perfect. Replace the capture claw with a flail thing or buzzsaw; Make him black, white, transclearent purple, & maybe a little dark blue; Give him a G1-ified Bayverse head (similar to some art I've seen); then done.
I'd like that. That'd be cool. But, Sandstorm's a Triplechanger, Blackout's not, so thats the only thing that makes me not entirely sure. But, it'd still be cool!
I like how in bot mode he looks like a rugged explorer with a backpack, and the other two modes basically reflect this. Helicopter mode is fire 🔥, might have to consider him just for that
Actually with his toy style face he actually looks just like a Motocross rider (with a backpack lol), if someone could pose him on Wreck Gar it'd look great.
Well hasbro seems to know what molds are gonna be remolded So we might see a blackout from this in 2 years Well just Just sit And wait Or drop kick G1 drop kick and blackout
Springer is a Car thats pretending to be a Helicopter, and a Helicopter thats pretending to be a Car. Thats why hes only a Voyager and the others aren't.
@@HBRice17 The T30 Sandstorm is nice, I do like it. Let me make it clear, this statement is talking about the recent takes on triple changers, Siege to now. Also, I can't really blame his looks for it, thats just the way he was in G1, so its for accuracy. That accuracy tho, that lack of difference is why its a Voyager and not a Leader like the others
I mean some leaders are also controversial because the figure started as being a voyager and was then bumped up to leader just because of some extra bits or paint. Something they admitted to with leader scourge. That’s also an issue.
Just so you know, there is a gap between the tab you mentioned that might be keeping the chest from tabbing in, so it is NOT the problem, it's just a shallow peg hole (try using floor polish on the pegs and 5mm port on the chest) Also glad to see a fellow canadian get him early to stop the "leader triple changer too small that mean not worth price and is bad" thing
I was not expecting a Lego city reference, but I'm glad I got it. To me, the leader=more complex is great depending on the figure, like triple changers who need it or SS Primal
Gotta pick this guy up. He looks like a blast, and I already have SO many fan mode ideas! I’m going to Newburry Comics tomorrow, hoping to pick up this guy, Shard, and Starscream!
Liked for the intro alone, that was really creative. I like me a Triple-Changer, and as a complete package, I think this is my favourite one I've gotten so far. He does what Legacy Blitzwing set out to do, which was to blend the G1 toy and toon stylings together into a happy medium, and in my opinion he pulls it off even better. I don't mind Triple-Changers being 'Leaders by default' either. When you factor in how the number of transformations exponentially increases with the addition of a second alt. mode - robot to alt. A, plus robot to alt. B, and alt. A to alt. B - you're basically getting two extra Transformers in one, for roughly the combined price of a Voyager and a Deluxe. (At least where I live, anyway) Plus, the toy being at Voyager size works for me, since I mainly collect Voyagers, and I like my Transformers to all be a similar size.
When you were picking up animated prime and sandstorm for the voyager vs leader comparison, when you put them both down, at least for me, prime was very noticeably lighter sounding and quieter than sandstorm who sounded louder and heavier
I had the older Anniversary version of sandstorm, Don't remember what year, But he was one of my First transformers figures, I remember loving how his Rotors turned into his buggy tires! I miss that figure.
Hes mine favorite auto bot triple changer to and ever review I seen had the chest issue but no feet issue . I seen one with the whole front of the buggy wouldnt lay flat one side was off the ground . The mold does have issues with warping still hope stock hold we never get enough and I need him .
On average a leader class costs 70€ here in Finland, that is if you can even find one, since transformers are extremely rare, and one of the few stores that consistently sells them charges even more (90€ :( )
Normally I would not be happy that this toy had a g1 toy head, but in this case, I’m happy so happy that they went with the toy head. It looks WAY better than his handsome face in my opinion
G1 Sandstorm was my first transformer ever… so this release is important to me :( Also I wanted 3 things for the longest time… Sandstorm remake, Beast Wars remakes… and those were have now… So only one more wish to come true…. Hasbro please… Thunderclash when?
For some reason at both my local targets he's priced like a voyager at $35 US instead of $55, and they had a 30% all transformers promotion going on so I got him for $24.50, so I basically got a Leader for the price of a deluxe!!!
Intro was really fun and super unexpected. Definitely excited for this one even at the LC price point. While subjectively I think Blitzwing does everything slightly better, this a decent attempt and update. For me the plastic quality, and durability is definitely worth the price over a lesser price point. Complexity isn't anywhere as crazy as the Blitwing but still manages some clever ideas in how it basically turns inside out to form the helicopter. Lose chest plate I think is universal from most of the reviews I've seen. I think I have this one preordered for June. Now could we please get a LC Legacy Octane.
this is probably going to be a pegwarmer whenever they do a small leader its usually an iconic character like shockwave or astrotrain but i don't know anyone who brings up sandstorm as a favorite character or even a popular one
Regarding the chest being loose issue, the waist seems to be slightly misassembled and the mushroom pegs needs to be pushed more backward. Doing so will hamper the waist poseability but will make the chest tab properly, at least that is what happen with my copy.
The black end of the winch can go in the rear of the engine, under the cage, so it can be detached and still used. The small grey gun can go at the bottom and back of the buggy mode, to form a rear exhaust. In bot mode, the rear two bits on the sides of his back can be moved out a bit so you can slide the cage to the top of his back and then they can be closed back a bit to keep the cage in place. This was my first modern triple changers as it's definitely worth the price (unlike the extremely badly designed Blitzwing and Astrotrain, which I haven't bothered getting).
I just got the thrilling 30 figure, so I think I’ll sit this one out, but if HasTak ever repaints this as some version of Blackout I might just give it a shot
I bought some articulated hands for ROTF leader class prine from shspeways back in the day that id forgotten all about and it was a nice surprise to find them in my junk draw and eventually fit them . There awesome by the way
2:10 its not the toy head its wierd combination of the cartoon head with g1 toy faceplate (they probably did that so they can just swap one part and nothe whole head) if you look closly to the g1 toy his head is looks more like something spinister has or mixmaster.
I really do like this figure as well, and it's honestly shot up to one of my favorites from the Legacy United line. As for the price point, well, yeah, I paid it obviously. Not gladly, mind you, like I did for a SS86 Grimlock. I kind of have mixed feelings about Sandstorm, but predominantly positive, mostly because of the toy quality itself. I agree with you that he does need a little extra oomph his kit to justify his price point.
A HELICOPTER HAS FALLEN INTO A MAN IN LEGO CITY, START THE NEW RESCUE RIVER! HAY! BUILD THE RIVER! TRANSFORM INTO THE HELICOPTER, FALL INTO THE MAN!! ONLY IN LEGO CITY!
I have a philosophy now with newer copies of figures now a days due to many of my purchases being loose and tabs not tabbing in the places they’re supposed to plug into. As much as I want something when it first comes out I wait towards the very end when it’s not as relevant I unfortunately have to wait for the better copies. Worked for when I got kingdom Galvatron! It was the only copy from what I know that didn’t have the messed up shoulders 😱🤯
I need to grab this guy really soon! Hopefully I can! Sandstorm looks sick! Perfect altmodes & perfect botmode! Love him! He has a gun, despite being a pacifist in G1, but its fine. Its cool. I love the rope-cage thing. Thats a cool accessory. I really want a Legacy/Legacy-style Octane! Hes one of my fav Triplechangers! & he'd look great with Sandstorm!
can't wait to get my sandstorm, he looks fantastic. I had the same knee issue with my animated prime, there is a gap filler kit on tfsafari for this prime that has gap fillers for the knees and that tightened up the knees to where its no longer an issue anymore, i just put a little tape in the gap before i put the filler in so it sticks out just a little bit so there is more friction at the joint and its perfectly tight now.
The way I look at the prices is this. Transformers is, and always has been, a fantastic deal for the money. Prices have gone up pretty evenly with inflation in their main market, the US. But Deluxes are still the same price as Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series. Those are action figures that regularly share parts and designs and don't super often get new stuff. Deluxe Transformers are almost always unique, interesting, and every single one is _at least_ two toys in one, plus generally having far better QC across the board than other action figure lines (and design always getting better), all while being the same price as those other lines. We can tell just from that, that Deluxes are a superb deal all around, and the bigger or more complex figures being more expensive, but not unreasonably so, and the smaller ones being reasonably cheaper... So yes, like any collecting hobby, Transformers tends to wreck the wallet regularly, but it's so worth it anyway because thats just a part of a collecting hobby. Prices will have to get a fair bit worse, or the quality of figures go down, before I start complaining That all being said, I know this whole conversation is different when we bring in the insane Canadian prices
The winch has returned! Really, despite all the excellence of the WFC and Legacy toylines, one sometimes wishes for a simple accessory gimmick aside from 'guns link back to back'.
I somehow found him for $25 at my target. I bought it because I'm a sucker for a good deal, but eh... he's one of the first figures where i'm like "I should sell him"
Fantastic review That Toy Guy!!! I was going to order Sandstorm from an eBay scalper, but I think I will wait until he appears on the shelves for retail price. lol Keep on being amazing.
I'm so glad I got mine for 35.00, I think my local Target screwed up on the pricing so I picked him up for about 20.00 bucks off srp, I've even seen him going for 60.00 on some retail sites.
I am so glad I got my blitzwing at clearance price. It's a punch in the gut when hasbro, dose this to the fans that are willing to pay leader class for a voyger or deluxe, they could have gave him articulated fingers and a few more accessories and a blast effect. I know it's all about money, but they are nickel and diming us to death.
Could you blu-tack an extra bit onto the chest peg and see if that helps the chest stay? That way you could figure out if the peg is too short or if the side tabs are the issue.
Assortment prices really hamper sales cos of the whole varying sizes but same price issue. Stuff like Gunpla prices things by kit. So a standard Zaku II is £8 while something like the Nightingale is almost £37 despite both being in the same line. Granted this is retail prices, not Amazon/eBay resellers.
@@corey-cg01 That wasn't my point. What i meant was how both Zaku and Nightingale were from the same line but had different prices. In retrospect it's more like if the TF Studio Series didn't have classes at all, just everything in the same line.

nice review buddy. sandstorm needed a good update. this thing is cool.
The chest is actually a common problem
I had the issue too. Putting Pledge Floor Polish on both of the side tabs thickened mine up enough to hold more securely.
How do you apply it? I’ve heard this trick works but idk how exactly to put it down correctly I don’t want to mess up my copy
