    proper godzilla roar is awesome. new design is also much more close to traditional designs than that late 90s disaster of a movie. also walter white! lol. should be a treat! can't wait!! i was a huge kaiju guy as a kid. granted i liked the kid freindly 60s/70s movies where godzilla is a good guy etc. but this looks great!

    not sleek like a valkyrie but sleeker than most TF jetformers get.

    thanks for the mini review. wow i didn't realize he was that big. hmmm....
  5. Mechapilot77
    oh hell yes! finally!!!! renewal tornado pack!
  6. Mechapilot77
    i think 1/32 would be the sweet spot.

    and btw...i caved. i'll let you know how they are in april (according to bbts) i guess. if its anything like the promotional shots i'm gonna be happy. orderd a speeder, trying to decide on which deco of the stronghold to go for. any opinions?
  8. Mechapilot77
    totally agree about price. its fair if the quality is as good as it looks. i am quite tempted even though i have nothing to display them with. they look great. and FWIW BBTS is cheaper han hlj/amiami on this by a good $35 or so BEFORE shipping. haven't found any other places that carry it though. major focker it looks like "falcon's hanger" will carry it www.tfh.com.sg http://acidrainworld.blogspot.com/

    i still think the 25 is the best design in the whole frontier/video game series of valks. This 2 seat version reminds me of just how good it is. also its got a unique color scheme that is jarring at first but grows on you. i want one. must get. will prioritize above trying to track down a yf-29 ozma. i seriously need more display space/cabinets. dx chogokins take up so much space!

    you have to remember they not only do robotech but DO have the "rights" to distribute macross stuff here too. Remember some of the super poseables back in teh day were released as macross toys not robotech. they KNOW they've sullied the robotech name and know the macross name has more value. also some o fthe 1/100s were released as macross too. strange that ichijo is being shown on a robotech box though.

    i'd buy an SD "rick" or roy, maybe even the valk. definitly woudl go for a minmay or bridge crew SD if they did those too
  12. Mechapilot77
    woah that looks really cool but expensive. also seems like it'd ba bitch to take one out and swoosh it across the room. lol

    i don't know why you assume they have two sets of complete tooling. At the volumes we are talking for MP transformers its not worth it. i think only the formerly sharp bits had new tooling done for hasbro since they sell to markets like the US with safety rules that are more stringent. Also, the recent reissues have been done by (and run by at the factory i assume) hasbro asia...not takara, despite it being a release of the takara version of the product. that being said, i doubt what we saw at the toy fair is final, and we all know hasbro (and takara) love to screw up box art. i didn't click the video but i'm gonna guess the box art reflects hasbro's original release version while the upcoming intended hasbro reissue is going for the original mp-08 takara deco (minus the extra paint apps). anyway i'm sick of thinking about this grimlock mold. bring on a V2, whether it be hastak or FT. just bring it already.
  14. Mechapilot77
    it'll be interesting to see them once they become available. perhaps the non WU kong "KO's" really were just loose reject mp grimmies, and not KO's. that would mean hastak changed or made a a few new pieces to the existing tooling. interesting indeed.
  15. Mechapilot77
    yup totally agree. MP-11 feels almost soft/waxy and looks more translucent than any MP TF i've seen, and yes very swirly. Thankfully they got the red and blues right (if you go by the 86 movie as a reference it at least feesl right) or else MP-11 would have been a bit of a fail for me. the way MP-11 reflects light though i can see why one person on another board called it "pearlescent"....but its just not, its weird plastic. Personally i think if they are going to use that kind of plastic it'd be nice of them to at least add a bit of matte/semi gloss clear to it. Anyway, yes mP-08 plastic is more traditional almost G1 feeling plastic. The hasbro one was as well....the same plastic. Although its harder to notice, grimmies are a bit swirly too.....though not nearly as much as mp-11. That beign said, I think everyone is panicking over the toy fair photos and harsh lighting on the new mp-98 hasbro reissue...i will reserve judgement until we get better pictures although I kind of doubt they'd just switch plastics. if you put that kind of lighting against any release of mp grimlock i'm pretty sure the wings will be translucent-ish too and the swirls will be accentuated. Well i guess not king grimlock as i'm sure the silver paint all over helps to alleviate that. oh and re: toyfair. i'm pumped for the jetfire. i wonder if takara will do a premium deco version...although the hasbro one shown already has metallic red paint/red chrome?

    I'm in for 1!! Whats the time frame?
  17. Mechapilot77
    lol thats way too cute! oh and yes now there is an agonizing wait for a second season. i hope this won't end up like initial-D where they waited for the manga to press ahead and took a break only to never come back. please let there be a season 2 at least!! oh and i totally am buying merch for this franchise. so far just mikasa stuff. i think little levi is badass but not sure i'll get him. and yes there should totally be some sasha stuff released! oh and more titan stuff.
  18. Mechapilot77
    yup i'm like you. i think the other modes are silly but its a cool robot. i just imagine it to be a non transforming mecha.
  19. Mechapilot77
    i just hope we get a decent new ed 209 toy out of this. the new ed 209 looks kinda awesome. i kind of wish i bought hot toy's ed 209 when they were available at retail. i settle for the much much cheaper though not nearly as cool NECA version that just came out (which bang for the buck wise is decent....its biggest flaw is the lack of toe /feet articulation). anyway, i'm pumped to see this! i don't care if its not as good as the original, i'll see it and be very entertained.
  20. Mechapilot77
    seriously!! she definitely "steals" some episodes. and if they made an alternate drool face when she thinking or seeing food....that'd be awesome.
  21. Mechapilot77
    so no prototype pics? at least its an announcement. hopefully the galvion figure sells so they will keep pursuing less well known franchises that deserved cool toys but never got them. i have the galvion figure on preorder actually. hopefully its not a dud.
  22. Mechapilot77
    a few thoughts. - 3zero iron kong looks amazing. -3A stuff looks wonderful -fewture is now making lackluster "super poseable" type of non transforming TF figures that don't even look as good as the transforming versions? -nice SD IDW optimus. -alpha trion looks awesome but if its anything remotely close to the $800 ultimtal optimus prime...forget it. we need a REAL alpha trion fig, not some super premium $800 thing nobody can justify buying. lol**EDIT**oops i can now see its a fewture model that is only 145mm,not ultimatela size/scale whcih means i might have to get it. lol -looks like we now know why that 3rd party unicron head was cancelled. this official one looks pretty decent though.
  23. Mechapilot77
    Nice we got a VF-0D confirmation. Also that dark grey VF-25 (its a 1/72) looks awesome. Almost looks liek an ivanov scheme on a 25....bandai should make one of those for its DX renewal line.
  24. Mechapilot77
    i bet the vendors didn't get enough preorders for toynami to have a viable business case to actually make em. me? i had 2 on preorder. so while i can snuggle up with my softimus prime (which btw can transform!), i'll have to wait for another time to get a vf-1 that i can do the same to. lol.
  25. Mechapilot77
    my inner child ALWAYS wanted the VF-1D. I got it, twice over actually (one is a mISB backup). however, once you get 1 vf-1. there are never enough. each one is just to stave off the hunger until th next hits. its...and endless hunger. i feel less this way about other vf designs though. the VF-1 is special and unique. it will forever remain that way, much the same way a G1 optimus is to transformers fans. I'm positive a V3 can't be more than 5-7 years away and we'll do this all over again. all of this has happened before and it'll happen agan.....lol If there was an "ultimate valk", it'd be a renewal 1:48 vf-1 or maybe a supersized 1:24 scale vf-1 (actually yes that is my answer a supersize 1:24), complete with high end paint applications, a good amount of cold, heavy smartly used diecast, 100% accuracy on all 3 modes, improved articulation, high quality plastics, a myriad of gimmicks including electronics, and articulated pilot, and mimay figure, acessories up to wazoo, and come with it sown mini diarama. i'd pay ~$1500 for one. oh and it'd be a vf-1d.
