    I would love to get another round of G1 Power Masters in original packaging or the Euro G1 toys. I never owned any of them with few exceptions but I have fond memories staring at the boxes of Power Master Optimus Prime and Stalker at the local toy store when I was little. I second your thoughts that the 3rd party probably won’t redo old toys but rather but out Transformers lunchboxes and other stuff I don’t really care for.

    I don’t know since the jet was a French/British collaboration why offend one of the parties by releasing a specific livery. Especially if the prototype's one is easier to reproduce.

    Another round of questionable deco decisions by Hasbro: Transformers Prime Dreadwing: To me that looks nothing like he did in the show from what I remember. The translucent red is an odd choice and he has not enough yellow. Hopefully the blue looks better in hand. More images: https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/06/08/legacy-evolution-leader-prime-dreadwing-first-look-486546 How he looked in the show: The PRiD toy: Maybe the designer was looking at G2 Dreadwing for inspiration but were is the teal then:

    If this is true I will buy it for sure. Not a bad choice for a licensed airliner given the boxy design of the nacelles. I wonder if the nose would be brick build or come with a specialized piece. The probably would have to include the nosecone gimmick and maybe removable engines? Interior would be a stretch given a brick built fuselage. The real question is what livery it could have: British Airways or Air France? The British and French prototypes are probably the easiest to reproduce without pad printing over multiple pieces or a plethora of stickers:

    Isn’t the GN Arms Type E supposed to be released this month? It will be hefty shipping it out of Japan.

    How big is the hit box of that pegasus?

    Well it is still a jeep alt-mode and the engineering budget is probably limited (like with the first cross over set). I quite like the look of it personally.

    [edit:] Double post, please remove.

    Isn’t the head of the jeep inspired by Dennis Nedry (and the whole set inspired by his death scene)? So it would make sense for the jeep to have a more "voluptuous" belly.

    MPG Kaen's images are out. They look hilarious: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/transformers-raiden-project.1183388/page-665#post-21362844

    I appreciate the links but I think I stick to the official stand, even if I would prefer a different deco. I just wished Bandai would keep it consistent with the stand design (and packaging). My favorite design is the one with the icons for the armaments on it.
  13. Scyla
    I’m disappointed that the Dynames doesn’t come with a stand that decals match the original release. It is understandable that it comes with the Devise decal design but I would rather pair it with the original Exia than the Devise one.

    I played enough of the Zelda games to accept that a new entry in the series is basically always the same story. The problem is that this is the sequel to a game were you already did that. So you could go into a different direction (much like they did with Majora's Mask). And as @mikeszekely mentioned I probably need playing some more to find out whats really going on this time. @Mommar yeah, I noticed that they give you a lot what you had to unlock in BotW from the beginning. However not in a good way. For example the way the watchtowers work seems to be better in BotW. I always went to the towers, climbed them and then standing on top, mapping out the next steps with markers (shrines, places of interest, next watchtower). And I felt like an explorer mapping out unknown territories. There don’t seem to be a way to be doing that in TotK yet (mind you, you still have to uncover the map which you already did in the first game).

    I finally finished Live a Live and started TotK. I’m not smitten by it. It seems to be a carbon copy of the first came (same gameplay, same assets, same gameplay, same story beats). I’m glad I didn’t play BotW before this because I would be super bored if I did. Mind you, I’m not far in (just arrived in Hyrule and beat a few shrines) so that could change but I’m not loving it so far. And I don’t care that instead of the previous powers you have new ones since the gameplay end goal is the same (i.e. using powers in shrines to solve the puzzle). It feels a bit like Nintendo made BotW because open world games a like GTA and Red Dead are super successful and now they made a Minecraft/Terraria/Fortnite clone because those games are super successful. But they forgot that BoTW was a completely new game while TotK feels like an add on or an extensive ROM hack. For example I don’t understand, why Zelda has still gone missing (again) and you have to find her. I can understand that Zelda always follows the same story of a boy, a girl and a pig that is sometimes also a man but if there was ever a chance to make something different it would be this game. And that it is apparently not so it is a missed chance and a bummer for me. I will keep playing because BotW is a great game and maybe Nintendo will surprise me down the line.

    That’s a bit of a bummer, I was looking forward to something that is devoid of any color.

    The Metal Build Astraea II is available at Anime Export: Astraea (¥27000): https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=68546 Add on set (¥8800): https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=68545

    I started the anime and the title is misleading; no one is chillin'…
  19. Scyla
    That is a striking color scheme. I’m in.
  20. Scyla
    Maybe you get the Nadleeh as a base unit/regular release and the Virtue as a TWE add on set.

    It is a shame that the Dynames Repair III came out first. No all I’m thinking is why the Dynames didn’t get a unique mold.

    The Laevatein and add on set are available for preorder at Anime Export (both ¥28000). Laevatein: https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=68271 XL-3 Booster: https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=68272

    So TotK is the KotoR 2 to KotoR? I still need to finish Live a Live, before I can start TotK. That last chapter is really dragging its feet.

    I think the only exciting toy reveal was FoC Cliffjumper. More exciting were the sneak peaks: Strongarm and Shadow Striker. I wonder why they haven’t shown Prine Dreadwind yet. Seems like an easy prototype to create.

    If found a couple of SNES games while visiting flea markets and specialty shops. Nothing too exiting but I rented those games as a kid so I’m glad I have them in my collection. No box or manual and some or the cartridges are in a rough shape. But they all work and fit perfectly in my collection.
