    lol its static? like a statue? the hot toys ones looks better IMO, and $1K? what is TOYNAMI smoking? yes toynami. my $60 NECA gives 100x more bang for the buck and doesn't take up an entire counter's worth of space...oh and its not static. "Manufactured and distributed by Toynami."

    i'm a fan of take it out and display. transform at least once and display behind glass. However sometimes i won't have enough room and put it back into teh box. That and i have multiples of many valks adn figures i own so i can always have a "fresh" copy years down the road if i want. i do that for figure i can't imaghine being without. haha. however sometmies i never get around to opening even things i have single copies of. if i lose interest in it, or if its value exceeds my interest in it i should say...it get sold. i seriously don' t understand (or maybe i understand it but don't apreciate ie as much) the guys that have 100% of their collection never opened. if i were a sketchy individual i'd sell to those guys, take the toy out and do a pro level retape job (if you were serious about that its exceedingly easy)....victimless crime as they'd never know! lol.

    wow this looks great. glad i have one on the way. wondering if ai should track down a second one or wait for another deco.

    hmm they are not fragile but a 7 year old...coudl probably tear one apart at the joints (there are some ball joints etc). also it seems to vary. i have an original release sh monstarts godzilla... i believe it is the hesei 90s version and that one is heavy and built like a tank. i also have the showa mosugoji 1964 version monsterarts. That one is noitceable smaller, lighter, and less sturdy feeling...which is a shame since i like tha tone better (its the godzilla i grew up watching). the on you have pictured appears to be oen of the hesei ones? either the 1994 version, the 1995 version or the 1995 birth version (godzilla junior grown up but is essentially a remolded "burning" godzilla release)

    it is the price it is because they think people will pay it. the large box (packed in bot mode to take space up) gives the impression you are getting more. also many people paid $80-$90 for lambor back in the day before realizing the jp sites had them. in those days, it would have worked. now i pay 52 bucks shipped for prowl or streak and never look back. lol also i wish all transformable toys were packed in the smallest possible form/mode. being an apt dweller i'm pretty much out of room fro big boxes. apparently there is also some ugly date stamp or item number on his foot. i like the shinies too..just not on this toy and just not the way hasbro chooses to use it sometimes. you got to be smart about where to apply chrome for maximum effect and so that it doesn't get rubbed off in tranformation or usage. the old henkei toys did that fairly well. the AOE first edition prime hasbro did....a good example of chrome used poorly. this leader jetfire...watched a review and his chrome was already coming off. personally it hink the fast packs should be painted...it would look nice, but i guess red plastic is ok (like the original toy). also the takara one has more paint apps (for example the fastpacks are two tone not just rd chrome throughout).

    yup i'm going to have to leave my phone ringer/notifications on super loud and have it sent to an email address that is used just for this (and turn all others off so i dn't get woken up for other shiet). i already get email notifications (this one at 4 :10 am) but it wasn't enough to wake me up. my page monitor has been useless on NY also. gives me false alarms ever few minutes so i turned it off.

    wait, what is the difference with pegged vs. not pegged? did i miss a post?
  10. Mechapilot77
    depends what he meant by "We will both have enough to offer even 1 piece to all customers." did he mean "NOT" or "although" when he said "both"?

    beginning to lose hope here. 8/1 morning opening...commuting to work. last night's 10:30ish opening==> showering (page tracker let me down only found out due to ny email). 3:30amish opening==> sleeping. so i've missed at least 3-4 NY openings along with the several on opening night i missed. i did get desperate order one opening night on yesasia but have no confidence that one will go through.

  15. Mechapilot77

  22. Mechapilot77
    wow very fast wtf
  23. Mechapilot77
    anyway, it is clear people feel strongly about g1 or not. lol. That being said mp flying space brick does look cool even though its a space brick and to ME not "geewunny" in design aesthetics...almost not Transformery if that is a word i can coin.
  24. Mechapilot77
    man, seeing that kit makes me want a truly modern toy version though at a similar (i would accept a smaller scale though not as small as the toynami mpc) level of detail and awesomeness. i doubt it will ever happen though...how big is the fan base for mospeada?
  25. Mechapilot77
    oh god...the "what's g1 argument" again? It depends who you talk to. americans...g1 ended with "the rebirth" aka season 4...a 3 part episode. japanese g1 is it own thing where they pretend rebirth never happened and do their own thing from there. its "g1" to THEM, not to US. We matter more because transformers is american....hasbro / marvel invented them. they were just diacones before hasbro gave them life. lol. So if you're talking to an american (or anyone outside of japan)..g1 ended at the rebirth and that other stuff never happened. if you are tlaking to a japanese then yes that might be their canon. outside of japan though? g1 ended with the rebirth.
