    that looks all kinds of awesome...too bad its a wonderfest exclusive.

    it looks great but that transformation is a bit far from clever. i think DC has some work to do yet before they are on the same level as lots of other companies in terms of design. That being said, i haven't sat down and dreamed up a transformation for a skyfire ever so....i may be talking out of my butt here. This will be a very good looking bot mode stand in for me. if anyone makes a better one, i'd probably dump this one before that one came out. haha

    they were denying it on robot japan when the mad toys images first showed up. whats the evidence?

    I LOVE the way this deco calls to min dteh YF-16 deco...orange vs. red but its a reddish orange but still. love love love it in fighter mode. the ironic part is that from the front view it looks (if you squint hard enough) a tiny bit likts its competitor the yf-17 (which we know today as the f-18 hornet)

    ok i have to admit...the part of the ataria island that comes with it is sweet. but its not painted and just grey resin plastic...$75 makes it hard to swallow. give me a fully painted one, along with the island and support it with a zentran capital hip to face off against and then we can talk. as is for $75...i'm probably just gonna pass.

    looks like one came out last year. i can't tell what deco it has (or what color its molded in) because al lthe picture i can find are of the completed model (and i'm sure professionally painted). is ther ea different kit coming out? also the kits seem bigger 1/100 instead of the 1/144

    man its a shame the animation in those commercials is better than most of the animation in the toons...which were mostly crap, although you'd get a nice sequence for like 5 seconds of good animation at a time once in while.

    wait are we assuming miracle = mad toys? also V2 isn't really a V2...they remolded a couple of things and fixed a QC issue. As is, V2 is okay and stands as the best vehicle voltron toy ever by a large margin. i'll watch that vid to see what v3 entails but IMO vehicle voltron fans should jump on the miracle VV if they can find it for under $190 shipped. its not perferct but its a good VV that looks the part.

    there has NEVER been any TF jetformer that wasn't like that. maybe rotf mindwipe? that was a pretty awesome fig but they let the gimmicks kill that one. the mp seekers even have robot pieces quite obvious...these are a little more so becuas the chest pieces are sculpted to be organic looking instead of blocky. that being said, if this thing had thicker arms and a more G1 chest area i'd like it better. i'm getting at least one though. its articualtion is great...but it needs better hands.

    man i went to look for the original one ..... wow , costs a lot now. wonder if it has anything to dow ith teh recent netflix announcement...or did they just make that few of them? either way, i preordered the white one. i kinda wish i knew aobut this when the grey and white one was up for preorder lol. it looks pretty awesome.
  11. Mechapilot77
    you don't know how many times i almost bought this thing when i used to frequent a hobby shop around the time it first release. back then i had a penchant for avoiding things not in my main two areas i collect (macross and TF). i'm pretty sure i saw it on discount for like $65 more than once....now that i actually want it...well its north of msrp thats for sure. haha. i think the upcoming release of other layzner is definitely driving prices up.
  12. Mechapilot77
    i was thinking about this just now. do we think (and are we looking for), something that will grasp hold of our attention and imagination the way the original (or whichever got you into macross .. i'm assuming for most it was sdfm or dyrl) did? i'm not sure that is at all possible and have it stay within the macross universe. OR, are we looking for something that is ":good enough" that will supplement our love for the macross universe. my hope is we will get something like the former but there are two thing working against that. 1. We aren't as impressionable as we were 2. How can it be so different (ti would have to be i think) and still be macross? also where would one find any new info/speculation on this topic...other than here. haha
  13. Mechapilot77
    from the recent reveals.. brainstorm, arcee, shrapnel, and powerglide are winners I think...brainstorm being better than the rest by far. chromia looks ok too, i'll probably pick those all up if i see them at retail. brianstorm and arcee are teh only ones i'd make a special effort or trip for. the leader megatrons, look...."ok", but i can't ge past those legs and the overly short thighs are hard too. i still don't know why hastak can't give us an honest to goodness "good" megatron...the armada ones is the more interesting of the two, but tats probably just because i don't know armada well enough to be insulted (yeah i feel its a slight insult to fans of g1 megatron that they made him look that ugly and from a tank). that voyager prime is a truckload of fail. proportions of a fat, squat gorilla. horrible head/face sculpt. i really hope taht is a one and done and not the default GHUG optimus for the next 8 years (classics prime came out in 2006). i don't get how they made the legends class one fairly well....and then crashed and burned so hard on the voyager one.

    yeah mania king needs a wrist swivel and a bicep swivel and to grow to orion height. as is he does look great with RTS cylonus an scourge though.
  15. Mechapilot77
    thats robot sprits version, not spec.
  16. Mechapilot77
    actually its closer to 90lbs. good thing the new ones come in 2 separate boxes now. sooooo much easier. i still remember carrying the original ones without a dolly..what a PITA.
  17. Mechapilot77
    same here
  18. Mechapilot77
    pride and cheapness. they also make things that Tak woudn't be able to ssell enough of IMO.
  19. Mechapilot77
    oh he'll fit in a detolf cube. citizen stack fits and he is even a bit taller (but not much...i actually thought mp magnus would be a tad smaller but he is nearly as tall as stack). oh and prime in armor coulda been smaller than that. i really ohpe magnus doesn't hurt the mp line too much. as of now i cannot wait until hasui returns.

    the stockholm is interesting BUT aesthetically i can't stand the overhangs on each side of the wood base platform. not sure what they were thinking with that design. it does otherwise look nice in the white metal frame.
  21. Mechapilot77
    its not metal box...its "Third-party brands, "Seizo Society" New product development: Q version MARCOSS SDF-1, gray mold production figure announced. The final product will achieve: Battleship / Assault two forms completely deformed. Get Foca limited packearly VF-1 two squads. About September 2014 sale, please continue to focus on the micro-blog." it seems 3P world (ie unlicensed stuff inspired by your favorite franchises...the TF collector world is filled with them now!) is coming to macross! i want this BADLY. love that gigantic head/bridge especially in the space cruiser mode

    MT metroplex is awesome. when is it coming out? i wish it had chromed thighs though. if i didn't have the HK toy show version metroplex i'd probably buy this one. someone needs to make a real omega supreme....that add on parts mt version is loooking sad there.
  23. Mechapilot77
    woah that looks cool. no way is that a toynami design at all...unless they hired somebody new. oh and obviusly i am buying the crap out of that! looks awesome....
  24. Mechapilot77
    have to say i'm warming up to MP fatnus. one thing that concerns me wiht magnus is.....does he even have waist articulation? i realize the seekers in the mp line don't but i can understand that based on transformation but magnus....a bot this big i think he needs waist articulation (FWIW citizen stack has it). that wheeljack though ... i think it blows the doors off magnus and bee. oh also...jenius...i think you can get eva prime from robot kingdom and bbts so far ($250 vs. $315 but factor in the shipping). i'm not sure the normal jp stores will carry it since its an "exclusive" i think...bape...i've no idea but i'm pretty sure bbts will eventually list him (they had the previous bape g1 convoy) i think its only a hasbro issue. the takara's have their own issues. V1 can't hold his guns, backpack wont stay clipped etc. V2 had its own issues but i odn't remember what at the moment.
  25. Mechapilot77
    i like the design, never saw teh anime. $95 plus shipping from japan (so say $115ish) for a 5.8" toy.... decisions decisions.
