    Same. Kept checking after I got the email but was always sold out. Until a couple of hours ago I was able to snag one from them. Looked just now and there are 2 available.
  3. Today
  4. Mommar
    Ff she-hulk is the only one for me.

    If you liked Gundam Build Fighter (and Try) I think there is a good chance that you like G Gundam as well.

    It is interesting to see that Devastation Prime has the same problems as MPG Super Ginrai when it comes to painting red over blue. I‘ve been a vocal critic of the quality of Takara‘s MP and MGP collector focused lines. My main point is that they are not the same quality as other collector focused toy lines because the designers are also the ones designing the mainline toys thus they are designed with the same mindset behind them (which is not collector but rather toy focused). Similarly their production values are low because the same factories that produce the mainline toys are also manufacturing the MPG/MP toys with the exact same constraints that they have for things like Devastation Prime (like paint not being opaque enough, nub marks on prominent spots etc.). I think this is also the reason why we are seeing MPG-17 Style Gen convoy. Takara‘s engineers yearn to go back to a toy focused approach and not the collector focused one they had with MP-44. If you want to believe some of the commenters on the board that shall not be named MP-44 was too complex for their manufacturing resources (my reading: the Vietnam factories that also produce the cheaper toys). I don’t know if this will change with their dedicated T-Spark line (the Takara analog to Bandai‘s Tamashii Nations). While AM Rodimus seems to be a stellar product (from a Takara baseline, I didn’t buy it since I have the superior Flame Toys one). MPG seems to be plagued by the same issues as before (see MPG Raiden and Ginrai).

    I mean... honestly, the splash of gold on the legs goes a long way towards making them look finished. (I did notice they're the wrong legs entirely, but they look so much better!) The torso's still just completely devoid of any detail at all, though. It really does look to me like someone forgot to put the stickers on. Unrelatedly, it isn't anyone's fault or any sort of actual deficiency, but I can't see that head as anything other than Leader-One with a fake tan.

    got it! i'll definitely check it out
  9. Papa Rat
    Well I most definitely lost some brain cells tonight. I should have wore a respirator when brushing on that surfacer. Note to self. Anyway, I am hopeful that this is going to work out easier than expected. Maybe I already said too much. 🤔

    Yep, I get that. Copy on the majority of the others you mentioned. As to Prime and Animated, I'd rather they'd made them as straight updates within the original style instead of hybridizing them with G1. We get enough G1 without making everything that's not G1 the same.

    Too young. I still watch Top Secret for some nostalgic laughs, and The Saint, which is my wife's favorite Val movie, every now and then. I felt a little sad when I watched his documentary. RIP.

    Thank you for the countless amazing characters that you played and the adventures you took us on through cinema. RIP Val Kilmer. ("I'm your Huckleberry.")

    Damn, NOT an April Fool's joke. Sad to see him go.
  14. Mog
    Not Iceman!

    What's funny is that my Mom LOVED Real Genius, so I saw it a lot, so I have a weird association with Val Kilmer and Tears For Fears. I disagree with that article, I like The Saint.

    I'll always remember him as Doc Holiday and Madmartigan,

    I get that, and fwiw I'd also rather have had Omnibots over Rescuebots, or for that matter fanfic rock guys, fanfic Junkions, fanfic dinosaur skeletons, and trying to mash Animated or Prime into a G1 style. All I'm saying is that Kranix is going in Studio Series, so he's like the one guy you can't replace with an Omnibots.
  19. M'Kyuun
    I wasn't thinking Studio Series, but a regular Legacy release, even if they just did one a year over the next three. I'd rather have them over Rescue Bots hybrids and stuff like Kranix. I really wish they'd been represented in at least one ep of the old toon; it's a shame they weren't, or weren't included in the mainline releases.

    This better?
  21. sh9000
    HG 1/100 VF-22S Max.
  22. sh9000
  23. sh9000
    Season 8 Teaser.
  24. sh9000
    Super Friends.
  25. sh9000
    I'll get Bully Maguire, Weapon X, and Mystique. She-Hulk is a maybe and I'll probably pass on Maximum Hulk.
  26. sh9000
    The Simpsons 2.5" Family Multipack and Living Room Diorama.

    Most, for better or worse. Sadly, this means that Fireflight is likely going to wind up with his generic cartoon head, not the cooler masked toy one. To be fair, Omnibots aren't in the 86 movie so they can't wedge them into Studio Series. In AotP they're competing with all the other cartoons people younger than us claim get no love because Hasbro only likes G1.
