    how certain are you of another full bruticus? have you seen sketches or something like that? will it be as g1 or more g1 than warbo?i think warbotron is ok. i was initilally blown away but now am a bit....lukewarm on it. hestitant to spend $500ish bucks on "lukewarm" if another bruticus is on the way that soon. the reason i want warbo is because i thought he might be the best bruticus we see within the near future.

    man i'm so happy this is going to happen. i am of two hearts on what i want this to be. part of me years for something completely new....whether it be set it the far flung future post frontier or some story between plus and 7. another part of me is itching for a truly modern retelling of the original story. let's face it sdfm and dyrl are the best of any macross series or movies. it perhaps deserves a modern update, reboot in the same vane as 2199. also with the macross clearly in the pic in that tv spot....i'd say this is most likely. that being said i'd welcome it with open arms. macross is ready for a reboot and new fans. i'd like it to be more "realistic", have more developed characters and subplots. think modern BSG type of space opera but in a rebooted macross universe. i doubt that will happen though. also perhaps new themes and motifs are in order. How many times can we do love triangles, idols etc. (then again i'm perferctly happy with the traditional macross motifs in the case of a retelling/reboot so long as you add something additinal and new) interesting thought: you know....attack on titan could totally be a prequel to macross. i mean its been said that the protoculture visited earth before and advanced our technologies and evollution. who is to say the titans aren't prototypes of what eventually became the zentran? haha. looking at history we got mac II out of that....was that also bandai sponsored? if kawamori is not involved that does lend itself to play to less cliched (by now) motifs. then again if its a reboot, i'm sure they won't stray too far from the original. i hope the project is done with love and passion and not just a cash grab from the involved parties.

    the new arcadia vf-1s releases both came with a stand...one of the reasons i bought them. other than that, perhaps you can track down a yamato mightyblock (though i don't recommend them). or the bandai hobby action base stands and buy adapaters from shapeways (exo deisgned them, i think you can find them if you do a forum search) that being said i'm not sure either of the last two options (mightyblock or bndai action base) will be sturdy enough to hold a yf-19. there are alwasy flightpose stands as well.

    you're gonna make me rewatch that episode now for clues. lol

    how many episodes were there this "half season", it seems like startling little. I think there is only 1 or 2 more left before the long spring/summer hiatus right? and yeah last week's was just hard to watch! I think they will follow the usual formula of the last episode being a source of chaos and mayhem and of course....cliffhanger. This all of course after the relative feel good eppy we just saw and i'm sure the first third or so of next week's will feel the same way until somehow all hell breaks loose.

    seems like the closest we've come to seeing a nice g1 prime in a game but his hands are the wrong color and since when does G1 prime's hand transform to reveal a blaster? Thats borrowing from Transformers Prime (i don't think movie prime ever did it...did WFC/FOC do it?).

    those look AWESOME!!

    The YF-30 CLEARLY is in the same design language/aesthetics style as the frontier valks. Anyone who says otherwise isn't paying attention. Put it this way, if someone told me it was in the background in some animation cell of some frontier episode or movie...i'd believe them. I couldn't say that about any pre frontier designs. that being said 2008 to 2014...that is a long run for a design language. Hopefully we'll get something new and awesome in the not too distant future and you won't be able to confuse it witha frontier design

    its pretty awesome in person. the red and blues are nice and dark...darker than the TT MP10 even. i think as years go by and this become more "rare" it will truly be looked back on fondly. i am super surprised they aren't releasing the plane jane normal prime colors for the 30th anniversary though. yeah its been rumored and hinted at to be an armor all along. from the early mockups shown by hasui 2 years ago to pictures of prime transformed witg his legs backwards etc. its gonna be a white prime with armor and that is more than ok with me.

    scoria is the size he is because he scales with the new mp-10 and newer line of MPs. mp08 while beloved is the odd man out.....he is too small and short. FT is sizing things so they scale correctly with MP-10 according to the scale chart (holy be thy name lol). i think it is the right move, particularly if they eventually release something to replace the glorious but outdated mp-08. i've had mp grimmy since hasbro first released him way back in...2010 i think? even then he was already almost a year old...its a 5 year old mold...i don't mind replacing it with a newer, better, bigger one. FT has said they will consider doing a grimlock if TT hasn't done a V2 by the time the rest of the dinos are done. Another thing to consider is if TT and FT, don't...Gigapower will (if they survive until then). He'd be a touch bigger than an FT centric dino collection but i don't mnd grimmy being bigger because well...he is the leader.

    WOW!! Wheeljack's deco is perfect. It really DID need the Allitalia on it because its such a well known livery. hoepfully thi smeans an eventual mp jazz can get that martini racing accurate livery too! the magnus silhouette looks nice. I think its a real silhouette. the thighs look VERY MP-10, so i think its a legit teaser not just a random generic magnus shape as far as star saber...i have no affinity for this character. he wasn't known to me until the advent of the widespread adoption of the internet. don't really care much. if it ends up being an awesome collectible toy....i'll look into it, but i won't be disappointed if it sucks because... do not care. i can't understand anyone in the US caring that much. While i colllect new macross series stuff, non US G1 characters don' t get much love from me. i'm still a bit sore its happening when those resources could have worked on another legit S1, S2, TFTM, or season 3 character.

    i actually think the clear trailer is really cool. then gain, i warmed up to yoth prime too (i have every deco of mp-10). af first in pictures he looks gaudy, but keep looking at it and you'll like it for what it is, and once you get it in hand, you'll realize he is positively regal! definitely not for those that want the traditional prime deco but he looks great IMO. the trailer looks cool to me. only thing is i wish they hadn't put the autobot logo there. I was thinking of spraying it in a transparent smoke color (think the "white" part of tail lights on an amg mercedes and how they are smoked) and giving it to mp-10b for a while, but i think i'm just going to leave it with yoth prime now. i don't think yoth prime is good replacement for the traditional deco prime (like takara's normal mp-10 or even hasbro's bright saturated "toonish" version) but it has its own charm for sure. i was one of the biggest haters at first too...

    looking at your pictures i wonder if the blue woudl fit wings extended if it were "banking" to its left. this would allow you to make more use of the space and the longest diagonal you could draw in that cube. then one must ask....how could you support it that way....and i've have to say....no idea...i'm' sure some combination of fishing line and flgihtposes might work but the alpha bieta combo is so heavy and not as connected as it could be....perhaps i'll give it a whirl one day when i display my mospeada stuff....
  14. Mechapilot77
    my guess is that he scales with the ultimetal optimus who is huge and doens't TF either and IMO isn't a great scuplt of optimus (i prefer both mp1-0 and mp-01) to it. it is 17 inches tall and $800. it it were scaled to mp-10 instead of ultimetal i'd get it. as is, no thanks....keep the $800. if i were bigger fan of the ulimetal op i'd have to get both though.

    Reviving a dead topic here but, has anyone had luck signing up with goodsmile's online shop? i created an account (and it was not easy to find the right page to do this where you can pick the USA or any other country other than japan as an option), but when i try to check out there is a "say" katakana field and a "mei katakana" feild i have no idea what valid inputs are for and they are required.

    so i like the new mp bumblebee but its totally disappointing in two areas. hollow forearms on an MP??? also apparent lack of wrist swivels. the latter is speculation, the former is confirmed. WTF Takara? WTF. not like its so small that it can't be done. i think particularly the lack of writ swivels is offensive.
  17. Mechapilot77
    looks ok, kinda have mixed feelings abou the face. think it may be the lighting/shadows and the grey color though. still i have it preorderd and do not regret it. for thos that thing bii is more accurate.... i disagree. the front windshield should NOT be right below the head...with the wipers there and non clear window its only more obviously wrong IMO. aesthetically its pretty good though. edit...someone on TFW digibashed color onto it (ambitron)...looks much better.

    anyone remember gobots and how they were acquired by hasbro in 1991? do this is a 3P cykill....pretty sweet bike mode http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=UQT10009&mode=retail
  19. Mechapilot77
    sweet! i just realized that this is merely one month or so away! awesome!!!
  20. Mechapilot77
    yup definitely faux. look at the side windows and where it ends....no way the rear of the car is right there. i don't mind faux kibble that is a design element of the character. for instace....mp prime's grill is a fuax grill and i have him preordered right now too but that is just incase i miss the hlj and AE preorders...
  21. Mechapilot77
    speaking of displays...anyone plan on getting this to use with their valks? its only about 10.2 inches tall but i think that may be suitable enough for 1/60 vf-1s. http://www.hlj.com/product/ban989554/Sup
  22. Mechapilot77
    hmmmi know NY lets you cancel but i wonder if they let you do a price adjutsment if its cheaper once it is released? perhaps the fact that its so available now means i shouldn't even bother keeping the Preorder i put in last night (which i just stumbled upon by luck)? if i cancel its a gamble i guess.
  23. Mechapilot77
    wow missed another one....this and the 29 ozma....guess i'll have to wait for retail.
  24. Mechapilot77
    that looks awesome...maybe because the blue is hidden for the most part? also if they release super parts hopefully they emulate that and also inlcude spear like that..it looks awesome. is it canon?
  25. Mechapilot77
    man it would be awesome. The bandai monster is shy of 1/100 i think by just a touch (yamato's is larger and is listed as a 1/100)...i can't imagine how awesome a 1/60 would be. it'd obviously need some heavy duty joints etc. shelf presence would be awesome.
