I'd love to see a proper new Vic Saber set in a large size class and with good articulation... but in Star Saber's defense, he HAS got shoulder AND elbow articulation He's got more posability than Dai Atlas does...

Yeah, I have the RM set as well... right now they're in pieces because I was modding them to have better articulation, but I had an issue with the paint, so now that project's backburnered... and besides, now I've got a full size SS.

EDIT: I just won a boxed Sonic Bomber! I actually won an ebay auction, and now I have two of the Powered Masters... I may sell the box from SB tho, not really a boxed guy.

I got my Star Saber today!! He's in gorgeous condition, bone white and blissfully rock solid. He'll still end up with Reprolabels bc/ a couple of them have yellowed, but even missing the sword blade this is one of my new favorite toys of all time... the middle sized guy Saber is one friggen rad looking TF all by himself, and when fully Star-Saber'd up he's amazing. I can't wait to find a Vic Leo...

My Dai Atlas ratchets like a monster...

BBTS just posted a 20% off Sale... I almost never buy Vintage stuff from BBTs due to their prices, but with the sale I nabbed a pair of Micromaster Patrols and a good looking Sureshot w/ Spoilsport for great prices, giving me all three of the original mold large TMs now, and some MM's to go with Dai Atlas and a Sky Garry I might get... also paid for a Star Saber with everything but the blade in absolutely gorgeous condition! Got a really funky KO Brainstorm with a working KO head with a modified sculpt... neat little fig, might repaint it as a body for a JP Headmaster Warrior if I ever get one.

So, last night I figured out how to tighten Apeface's back kibble and moved on to Atlas... stripped the legs down completelyand stripped and cleaned everything. The tracks weren't working because the spring-loaded clutch was worn, so I just superglued that sucker tight (it's not like I'm gonna drive it around a ton to damage it anyway). I relubercated everything with some white lithium grease and reassembled... the tank treads now work like a charm... next step is to tear down the top half and start cleaning things... I'm repainting all the white with Krylon Fusion white after sanding down most of the yellowing... new stickers from Reprolabels will work wonders as well. The only critical accessory I need to find is the left arm black ramp to mount the wing in robot mode.

I don't know what's happening with the 1/18 line, but Yamato released the Turbo Customs and weapons sets not too long ago... some new news from them would be nice, and I echo your sentiments for some new figures.

So I got my Dai Atlas today... it's a pretty ridiculous figure... ginormous and blocky... I've gotta strip it down to clean it, sand off the yellowing, and figure out what's up with the motorized bits, but it's a neat new addition to my collection, and my first JP G1 figure. It's missing one of the black arm ramps that hold the wings on in robot mode, so if anyone here has one by chance, I need the left arm ramp... I know it's a long shot to find JP parts, but that's why I'm asking everywhere. Also got Apeface in great shape... he's a fantastic figure with great poseability in both modes... the only problem is the back part is floppy, so the figure tips over in bot mode... I've gotta figure out where to tighten that joint.

We haven't seen Wave 3 Dlx, or anything more than the first three Universe Deluxes either mate...

I made some decals for a project last month by reworking a decal sheet scan in Photoshop, and printed them on my Epson with Testors decal paper to good result, but you do need something like an Alps to print white/opaque decals.

I'm getting a Dai Atlas, Apeface, and Victory Saber set

The comparison has been made that Activators are basically the new Scouts...

Excellent idea for a project... I've thought about doing this myself, but haven't found a good kit to do it to. My only question for you is how the resin holes will stand up to repeated posing of the Revy joints... I wonder if they won't wear down, necessitating some poly-sleeves for the RT joint mounting spots.

Hmm... those first shots are much more flattering than anything we've seen... depending on price I'll probably end up with one of these... I'm still way behind on Yamato releases anyway...

Hmm... goofy and chunky.

Sorry to hear that... I think I'll be getting one soon, so I'll be sure to post many pics to make you feel bad Just kidding... but these two really are my attainable holy grail figures. EDIT: Noone's got the special JP Headmaster heads or the repaint Godmaster minifigs? None of the crazy hard to find stuff?

So... noone here has any Victory or later TFs they want to tell me about the awesomeness of?

How many of you guys have any of the JP G1 Stuff like Star Saber and Victory Leo, Road Ceaser, or even later stuff like Dai Atlas... I think I may be on a good lead for a loose complete Victory Saber set.

Good to hear. Let us know when you've got everything figured out.

My friends and I went to see it, hoping it'd be really good so we could finally convince ourselves to get the show and watch it... this movie was pretty lame. It was engaging the whole way thru because it was interesting and doesn't give alot of clues, but the way the film basically peters out,a nd the real lack of 'X-file-ey' stuff left us underwhelmed...

The Douggy is still probably my favorite Revy... and I too would die for some VOTOMS ones.

I preordered those from BBTS as well... I'm hoping the neck is jointed, but otherwise they look good. In other news, I got my TFC #20 today, totally rad set... I actually even like the Wheelie figure., and Kup is sweet. I think I want to track down the Orion Pax E-Hobby set at some point. Also got the Wonderfest Dai Atlas PVC figure from BBTS (it's on clearance)... it's like a fricken sweet TF Revoltech figure before Revoltech was invented.

I did not know that Ravage fit into G1 Soundwave... interesting. I wonder if they mean G1 Soundwave, or if they mean the Soundwave Classics reissue with the Soundblaster tapedeck... mine is the TFC reissue, so it's got the right sized deck.

Ohhh crap, Cyclonus is totally the tits there... I cannot wait! Bring on some more TMs and HMs!
