Valkyrie Hunter D

After several transformations with WallyWorld SS, I'm not seeing any of those stress marks...yet. Going through the wasteland that was post-Black Friday in Target, I was able snag a lone Ironhide that was buried underneath a pile of the Fast Action Battlers. I scoffed at the "auto-morph" gimmick, but after seeing Ironhide's leg transformation with the swiveling panels, I can't help but be mystified like a kitten watching a dangling thread.

Quite nostalgic, those clips. I knew I wasn't seeing things as a kid when I saw Megatron with a different head!

1). There needs to be another SDF-1 toy made, preferably similar to the BPX Yamato, it IS the Macross for pete's sake! 2). The original Monster deserves the same amount of attention the Koenig Monster got. 3). A VF-2SS with SAP attachments would be sweet.

After tinkering around for some time with MP SS, I have to say that it's a lot better than I thought it'd be. The only lame part about it is the rear landing gear, but I guess I can't expect anything more with so little room to work with. And it's gonna stay on the stand in alt. mode anyways, so that's just a minor quibble. There is some slop with the weathering, but I could clean that up easy. As for the nose cone, it's gonna stay silver. After seeing the previous pic with the blue nose cone, the silver's looking a lot better. Thanks to cschell for hooking me up! After all this, I have actually ended up with an extra MP SS. I'm willing to sell this with no markup, just sales tax and shipping, so if anyone's interested, just let me know.

A second take on a Skystriker would indeed be very cool. Too bad I wouldn't have any room for it. For the later waves, I'm hoping the Crimson Guard twins make an appearance, and one of my faves as a kid, Sci Fi - the only Joe ballsy enough to wear neon green on the battlefield.

Both look weird in robot mode, especially Prime. It's as if the vehicle "shell pieces" were placed on the wrong spots.

Geez, how many times does Snake Eyes have to show up? On the other hand, I do remember a time not too long ago when a pristine Snake Eyes figure was a prime and expensive find. So what's different with Wave 6 Snake Eyes?

If I had cat, I'd probably hose it down too after seeing that clip! I really want to see what the underside of fighter mode looks like. From what little I saw, the profile was reasonably thin. Thanks for posting the clip, charger69!

Yeah, the "All-Spark" line or whatever it's called. I've seen Landmine pop up in eBay, but not in the local stores around here in NorCal.

That's a pretty wicked custom, though I never saw Bumblebee with such a mean look on his face. I think I'm gonna call it quits on the hunt for MP SS. MWer cschell has offered to sell me his extra at cost, but I'll still keep an eye out for an extra one for any MWer that can't find it. Speaking of hunts, has anyone seen Landmine or Cliffjumper in the stores yet?

So at this rate, no new designs for the MP line until maybe MP-15?

I remember seeing them on ebay for real cheap, there are a couple of them on auction now like this one: Gobot suit Thanks for putting up the trailer pic, mpchi!

That trailer looks better than the one that comes with MP-04. Could you add a pic that shows the taillights?

Mmmmm...Star Cream

Might not have to. I reckon they're two different heads.

It's a huge gun with legs, what's not to like? It also makes the biggest explosion of all the destroids when blown up. My vote goes to to Macross 2's Metal Siren. I never liked how that valk looked. And to a lesser degree, the Stampede Valkyrie.

Whoa, not bad for 1/15 scale-I'm in!

Does anyone wanna trade? I have an extra Beachhead that I could trade for Firefly, Zartan, or Flint. Hit me up with a PM to work something out.

I dunno, for some reason, I'm used to seeing Starscream's cone being the same color as his body. By the way, he hasn't shown up at any Wal-Mart around here yet. It's a good thing they're all so close to my commute, otherwise I'd be rather steamed.

Now how to get that nosecone paint off...

If not Gung-Ho, how about Dr. Mindbender? While we're at it, how aboot:

Hmmm... If both appear in the same movie, the risk to the integrity of the space-time continuum would be tremendous! But yeah, I'd watch it.

Nice, that mix doesn't look bad at all - I'll have to try it if I can find the parts. Wow, over $300 to get the pair...bah, who needs new clothes and food when you can have killer looking man-dolls!

Y'know, things are getting really sad when the WalMart stock people start recognizing you from previous visits. Still no Starscream, but I came just in time when they were restocking the toy shelves, so I had first pick from the unopened TF cases. Picked up Arcee (this was my first time to see it, not too shabby!), and finally, FINALLY, that yellow bastard '08 Bumblebee. Neee-ha! I didn't want to be greedy so I left everything else alone. Oh well, like one of the employees said: "See ya tomorrow!"

Damn! Thanks, UNS - please keep looking as I'm not having much luck over here.
