    before i attempt to try this....anyone able to fit a "formation" (diamond or otherwise) or V2 VF-1 valks in a detolf cube? If so, how many valks is doable? Is 4 doable? kinda wondering what configs people are using.
  2. Mechapilot77
    very nice!

    nice job david. i like the way panel lining looks on darker valks like that. for some reason i'm not a fan of it on white/off white valks as much.

    you don't think the devilstar one is pretty close? i mean airburst is off...but i think the devilstar shuttle mode looks pretty good especailly condsering it has to also turn into a robot and a train.

    not sure why all the hate. i get the head is too small and the right shoulder/torso treads should be green (please fix this takara like you are used to making the better release lol) and not purple. also someone needs to give devy a shoe upgrade to mixmaster...but otherwise...its very G1-ish. more so that titan metroplex in fact. for a mass market non 3P release...its seems good. if they fix the purple treads (hue sticking point for me) i'll get it. if hasbro doens't do that i'm confident takara will.

    i notice you put the shin flaps angled instead of the official transformation. i do that too! looks more magnussy to me that way.

    those badcube insecticons gonna replace my FP ones. who wants em hehe? if TT stopped doing MPs it seems badcube and FansToys and a few others could carry the torch quite well. lol. i hope TT never stops making them though. its nice to have an offical "template" for style and scale as well as 1st party prices and jp retailer discounts!! Re: Make toys "Re:Master" series. Its unclear whether those are MP scale or not as the text says "and maybe a new scale". new to them? or new entirely? also MP scale...but MP (retro g1) style or MP/FP sylized versions? its surely an exciting time to be into G1 TF MPs. getting refelctor and the insecticons will sooooo help fill out the mp cons shelf (in fact it completes season 1 along with xtb's apollyon megatron homage).

    nice pics!

    wow thats really cool actually
  12. Mechapilot77
    he looks better with his front spoiler untransformed (like the g1 toy)...doens't have such a tiny waist that way. i think it looks great like that. i do like the look of mmc's as well.

    i actually think tracks is a good choice for...takara tomy they cannot just do all the heavy hitters and super popular characters first. for example if we already had megatron and galvatron already lots of people would buy them and call it quits! at that point trying to get people to buy minor characters is gonna be a bummer. same idea...if we had the entire ark crew already....lots of people...would quit. giving us tracks....he is a marketable sports car (corvette...and a classic stingray model at that!) an important enough character (at least people rmember 1 or 2 tracks centric episodes) and has one built in repaint ( i mean who doesn't love a red corvette?). it makes total sense for them. that being said....as aging collectors kinda want to have a complete set of "core" characters ASAP. lol

    well people on tfw LOVE their brawn..much higher quality than huff as far they are concerned. i've not hanlded it but their warpath...looks amazing. he is carbot height n robot mode and longer than mp-10's cab in alt mode...kinda cool size i guess though probably would have preferred a smaller size i'm good with wht they picked. i do think it is touch "updated" for MP but close enough...just depnds ow detailed yoru imagination was a sa kid i guess. lol. anyway i'll be getting it most likely.
  15. Mechapilot77
    well they DO deliver but like i said teh prices are insane.
  16. Mechapilot77
    wow totally missed this thread. ihave 3 CF's only one of whcih i've ever transformed to battroid but...i'll be ordering 3 sets of these in the near future!
  17. Mechapilot77
    wait, i did see dx chogokin macross when i went there several months ago...not many but i'm pretty sure i saw a vf-27 renewal (with superpacks) and somthing else. btw you live right there? lucky you! or unlucky from a spending perspective.
  18. Mechapilot77
    :-( totally missed NY again. even at $217 i woulda bought even though i saw it for 176 the day before (sold out both tims obvi). oh well...perhaps it'll go back down to msrp at release (not likley but here's to hoping. did ozma ever go up before release at ny and then back down at release?)

    Hi-Metal R

    Mechapilot77 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    as cool as high metals were and might yet again be (even better)...they are still 1/100 and in the end for my "main" VF collection...i need 1/60. the high metal line will be nice if it lets me get a few vf-1 (and other valks) to hang around larger mecha that would be awesome in 1/100 scale done to the ihgh metal standard...such as the regults, glaugs, etc. and yes...this would scale well with that forntier monster bandai did too. sort of like a line for the larger mecha where 1/60 would be too large but 1/100 might be a nice sweet spot (although ithink a 1/72 regult or glaug would be NUTS and you could pretend its in scale with 1/60 with some clever photo tricks).

    too much analyzing the fight/sword fight scenes in SW! american movies really had no fun to watch style in fight choreography until the late 90s after a generation of people had grown up watching HK movies. its as simple as that...much like japanimation (yeah i used an old term) influenced such cartoons as avatar etc.
  21. Mechapilot77
    totally gonna add that to my sig so i remember. lol. i'd also add that if you don't mind overpaying by a bunch yesasia seems to carry it and did come through on my ozmas. you'll be paying way too much IMO though. it will save you from stressing too much though. i'm gonna wait until NY puts it back up i suppose. i won't lose sleep if i can't find it. i just want to avoid another ozma situation (placed too many order and different vendors because i was paranoid about them not going though).
  22. Mechapilot77
    thanks to your reviews i ended up getting the "good" (aka safe) release of that years back. its one of my favorite pieces (and yes it has grey goggles for those that are curious still), so much so that i have this one (identical except the lack of grey goggles apparently) on order. i'm actually thinking of putting the armor on a vf-1s as for some reason i remember seeing that combination as a kid. the other option would be to comission it to have it painted as an urban camo version (always like that 1/48) or some other deco.
  23. Mechapilot77
    hoping to get one...i guess tonight? but if not i hope and think NY will have one later for not too too much more than msrp (like they just did with ozma which i now have 2 left of...contemplating if i want two or one now. lol)
  24. Mechapilot77
    more important than getting them out there on the internet is that she supports your hobby in spirit it seems!
  25. Mechapilot77
    if the last release is anyting to go by...the ozma...the madness was for naught. nippon yasan had it in stock for days around the release timeframe. i ended up going craxy securing preoders that were overpriced for nothing. i just need to have patience and faith this time.
