Valkyrie Hunter D

To his credit, David Bowie will always make a better Goblin King than Schiling. Some of their work is in D minor which I find is the saddest of all keys. I weep instantly when I hear it, and I don't know why...

Ever since I saw that damned Lincoln TV commercial, I was on a frantic search for the cover of Peter Shilling's Major Tom-it didn't take me too long to find it: Normally, Shiny Toy Guns isn't my cup of tea but I really dig this remake with a female vocalist. Although being a child of the 80's, the original will always have a special place in my memory. (And to a lesser extent, so does David Bowie's Space Oddity).

Damn, I was hoping that Evolved would be a FM1 remake. Guess I'll go back to waiting for the final FM5 patch.

Heads up: the Beagle's on sale at HLJ

I have one on pre-order, but it'll probably take a while before it hits my porch.

C'mon, did sir Kojima really have to ask? It would definitely help fill the mecha niche for the next-gen systems.

Wow, a true labor of love. (no pun intended) Awesome craftsmanship satus.

Nope, not here in Sacto at least. Personally, I'm waiting for the Universe Superion and Bruticus re-releases.

I say the original version; Blazing has a very chintzy-looking accessory. Does anyone know the release dates for the Universe Superion and Bruticus giftsets, or did I totally miss out on these?

Haven't seen any release dates on Universe Ratchet or Red Alert yet, but preorders on BBTS have Ratchet at March. I got my first look at the latest Marvel Crossovers today. I'm really digging the Capt. America/Hummer mold. I'm even considering making a Hound out of it, time permitting.

Blurr is a sweet figure. I think it's only a matter of time before a customized Mach 5 repaint is made. This is kinda old, but I just saw the unlocked content from the Cybertron toys, and those drawings actually make some designs look a whole lot better than the toy itself-especially Skywarp.

Drew, my guess would be Galaxy Force II. Anyone else played Thunder Force VI? Fun, short game, but a little underwhelming...

The latest Universe figures finally hit the Wally World here. I've had the chance to open only Ironhide. For alt mode, my first impression was that it felt really flimsy and that the angular gaps are really garish, but I guess that's the trade off for the unique transformation. Bot mode is sweet; very G1-ish and very articulate...but why is the face blue? I dig the sculpt, but I think I'll snag the Henkei version for a definitive Classics Ironhide.
