    yeah i love BttF but i think i may bow out at 1K for both marty and the delorean together...cancelling marty preorder in 3, 2... was hoping it'd be closer to the tumbler in price.

    nope, you dont know how hegemon transforms then. hint: take a look at the shape fo the bottom of the grip once again.
  4. Mechapilot77
    that thing is awesome but gonna be pricey...relaly price i think. imean its a polystone statue that is like 18 or so inches tall i think? an dfrom max factory.

    modern transformers are the way they are now for a few reasons. hasbro figured out that people want an action figure as much as they want a transformer. Rather than look good in two modes, peopel wanted a figure they coudl act out their cartoon fantasies wtih. i mean its not like the idea of ball joints and cost reduction is a new thing!! That is something G1 toys were never very good at with their limited articulation. overall the G1 line from 84-85 was very good. optimus, jetfire (of course i'd mention him on a macross board!!), shockwave, soundwave, sunstreaker, mirage, hound (did not have him but he was nice), sideswipe, perceptor (had the pre tf version), the dinobots (all of them but swoop were pretty damn decent), tracks. i do think its an overstatement to say nothing on the toy shelves nowadays can compete. taking aside all bias for G1...there are some great figures out there in the past few years. they may be few and far between but....you'd be hard pressed to find better examples of transformers (nevermind your stanceon the aesthetics) than TF Prime first edition optimus or bulkhead, ROTF LEader prime, TF Prime RiD vehicon (just damn awesome with that transformation!!), and some of the generations toys like RTS Jazz, wreck gar, tracks. that being said there are many many stinkers. there slawys have been though (most g1 minibots sucked as did ratchet, ironhide, and the 86 and on toys).

    i kinda wonder if HG/Toynami will see this D-Style SDF-1 and do what they did with that GORAION (go lion) product....make it official and release it stateside (yes it IS coming)
  7. Mechapilot77
    yup, if i were to specify it on a print it'd say "no regrind allowed".

    omg...do want so bad. does lunar have a brick and mortar storefront? he's from nyc area if i remember correctly, no? let's hope he can do better than whatever $99 plus shipping from RK is going to be. this is soooo bought! like twice over. wonder whats the size in hieght of bot mode and length of cruiser mode
  9. Mechapilot77
    yup vf-0 has always been huge..a 1/60 vf-0 is about as big as a 1/48 vf-1.

    they just have to pay up to the local and regional organized crime/extortionists...i mean...party officials. there is nothing complicated about it unless you do something very pubically against them or if their is some agenda against you. pretty much everyone who has any amount of success in china - their hands are a bit dirty.

    the proportions look good. hopefully this is just a proof of concept prototype, not anything close to final. needs a lot more molded detail
  12. Mechapilot77
    god that is cool bu ti've go teh original one and no room for anotehr ghidorah!

    i think every "KO" has a different story....and there are different types. for example tigertracks originally had "KO" tha twere "no sticker" factory extras....then REAL KOs came out. when i say real KO I mean, somebody reverse engineered it....like what was done with lambor. The WuKong grimmy is definitely reverse engineered as there are differences. The Collection Kingdom Optimus? Definitely reverse engineered...many differences (heck we might as well call it the mp-10 daca toys edition) as to whether or not hasbro releases reissues to counter KO's...that is certainly a possibility though we will never know. as to why 2014 mp-03 grimmy is worse....could be cost cutting to sell at lower price points...whether that was to ge the us market or to curb ko sales...we can only guess. also do people here actually have knowledge of hasbro (and or takara) factories? do they simply rent space and time from factories or have their own? if i aws a giant like them i'd have my own, with different poudction lines dedicated to different product types...just seems to make sense as they constantly pump out an dhav a nee to pump out product. thi sisn't small 3P company renting 2-5 days of a line/workers time to do a 5K piece run. That beign said even though they might be hastak owned...leaks will always happen. it happened before they were made in china and is happening now in china (greater rate perhaps). back on topic. yeah i want an mp jazz the most of any autobot car

    sweet i'll be sure to watch it befor i open mine up (arriving today!) this weekend.
  15. Mechapilot77
    i'd want to put a glaug on there and a regult too..although they sort of did a regular already
  16. Mechapilot77
    wait, that isn't inside an expedit for sure! they are open on both sides (there is no back). i've actually used some of ikea's album frames as fillers and to turn it into a semi covered display case (attachments were velcro...kind of a pita to "open" the displays but looks fairly clean installed).
  17. Mechapilot77
    man will toynami ever stop sucking?
  18. Mechapilot77
    is like reverse mp seeker boobs all over again! man that silver paint is glorious though.

    could be him, what is for sure is that it is lazy design. details should make sense or at least look like they do. someone has to think out what panel lines and details should look like, not simply draw geometric designs and repeat them. its really lazy. i thought the Gcreations thing was sort of cool (even though i don't like the idea of combining g1 dinos...it just looked cool)...seeing all those ridges on the prototype though...is a downer. it may have just saved me money though. the toyworld snarl is cool...but too small for classics dinobots unless you go with the old classics/henkei prime scale. hmm...in a year with less cool things to buy i might be considering one of these CHUG like dino sets. in a year where i'm buying MP style dinos (potentially 2 sets of them) and ozma renewals (hopefully!!!) i probably won't spring for one of these sets.

    wow great photos guys. ] saburo....your photos are super clean and clear. love them. the purist in me says the vf-1a should have super pack instead of strike but i don't care! phemonal old man - keep em coming..that cavalier photo is nice!
  21. Mechapilot77
    yup that omni sunstreaker looks really good. been following it a while now.
  22. Mechapilot77
    yeah that igear mold is pretty great. i think it'll be a top 5 figure this year among 3P. the plastic though....could be better. i thin kthe plastic works well for the lower body...not as much fo rthe arms etc.
  23. Mechapilot77
    that article and author make my blood boil! wtf.
  24. Mechapilot77
    oh when will the for sale post go up approximately?

    i never watched harlock back in the day and saw that this popped up in the "whats new" portion on netflix and instawatched it that day. i have to say...i LOVE the character designs and the overall aesthetic of it. as a movie..it was ok, but yeah i really think they made harlock and kei look damn cool. voice acting seemed on point too. defintiely worth a watch if you're even mildly curious. is it great? no.
