  1. if those releaes i soooooo need them. i don't care if its toynami!
  2. of course it would because its not in the same market space....AT ALL. hastak devy is bing marketed towards kids....likley kids of original g1 fans. the parents buy it for the kids and also themselbes...or maybe just for themselves because hey...it actually does look like the devastator we grew up watching on tv. Also $140 is really easy to swallow compared to $500 especially when its a ton larger. yes, each individual bot could have been better and combind mode has several issues too but again $140 for an 18" devastator. also those voyager limbs while simple...seem larger than omst voayagers...almost in the old ultra class size so the price seems to make sense. i have herc with upgrades and my freind has giant...neither is closer to my mental image of devastator than this...and each is much much smaller...heck hastak's is DOUBLE the height of MT's giant.
  3. i like omni's design overall better, proportions etc. the only thing that BC did better was the size windows and the smaller roof chest. i have a feeling it is a false roof chest though fi that drawing is accurate.

    dammit 503 error!
  6. hmm, i wonder how mine are doing. i picked THIS release to "army build" back when it came out. I have 3. 2 have never left fighter mode. One was put in battroi mode with armor packs as ell and then transformed back to fighter. 2 remain on display in fighter mode. i wonder if they have spontaneously cracked without me noticing. i will take em out and check at some point. IF not, am i the luckiest CF owner?

    so does this mean tuesday late night for us? what time does it usually happen? like 3AM or so (EST) or 3PM Japan time (7/1)?
  9. i wish bandai or arcadia would do some of those paint schemes. my wallet is screaming no but my heart says...cmon bandai/arcadia!
  10. there is no better solution out there yet, and its visuually very minimal. i also don't understand "gappy battroid"....in comparison to what?
  11. just a correction the M&M valks had no shoulder issues. see jenius/ anymoon's list http://anymoon.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Arcadia-VF-1J-30th-12.jpg
  12. i do think the mold could benefit from some diecast and chrome bits not i have no need for a chromed everywhere valk. i could see maybe diecast feet covered in black chrome. maybe going to metal for some of the "hardware" like the famous shoulders that love to crack on the older releases. maybe black chrome the antennae or some other bits ...i dunno maybe a special version or something.
  13. still liking this and mine is preparing to ship at ny but man the sheryl art they chose should have been better.
  14. someone tell mr. k. " no, just no" i bet it'd sell well for macross collectors in like the UAE (isn't that where fully chromed cars is the crap?) though. get some super parts and or super strike parts out already! oh and some different colored gbp armors would be sweet.
  15. yeah the takara will be better but here is the thing. i got to think any upgrades the 3rd party world does will be colored for the mass release. FWIW i think the takara one looks better in combined mode too (for one thing the hands and mixmaster is more G1 as the foot), but I am unsure if 3P will bother to do takara colored upgrades. I also think the hasbro color is more accurate to the t/toonoy colors we had growing up....whiel takara's does its best to ape the 1986 movie appearnace in color. i just preordered at amazon too but i'll rethink if the takara one isn't too too much more.
  16. do you mean a new reissue or a brand new redesign? are secondary prices slumping or increasing?
  17. lol i ain't that ballar, its a 3P MP style perceptor named tesla.
  18. is it me or is vader's voice intentionally different, almost like they are trying to make him sound younger? when he first spoke i was like...."thats not a good james earl jones vader impersonation" i do have a feeling we will see less of him (although i hope not) with a new inquisitor coming

    they going for the heavy hitters first to fund the rest? i dunno. i think the hik GBPS and the hik Stirke valkyrie are two of the most popular valks for sure. only focker's vf-1s can compete i think....and if its focker's it doesn't come with a fast pack or strike canon unless its DYRL too. (by the time fast packs were added in sdfm focker's valk was hikaru's already) also what is the preorder date on this. don't want to miss out again and have to sweat it out at release like i will have to forf the GBP
  20. if megahouse did it though it'd be like $300 again :-( as much nolstagia as the orguss brought i coudln't part with the $300 for it.
  21. Ah that explains it. i kinda wish the armor and the fast packs released by yamarcadia were more grey similar to this. as a kid i never imagind teh blue/greenish-ish tint expseicallyto the normal fastpacks. i wonder what a grey gbp-1s set like you show would look like....with the red replaced with focker yellow.
  22. god that is a lot of tampo. looking forward to gettting mine when hlj gets off its butt and ships my private warehouse stuff. lol. i'm now wondering if i want to hunt down a second one.....its a REALLY bad month though for toy expenditures (this, the sheryl special vf-117, gbps vf-1j, mp-10 reissue, sever, tesla, some SW stuff, some used stuff i just bought too...most spendy month ever for toys...anybody need a kidney? maybe a vf-0s or 0a? lol). lol
