So amazing looking... thanks for reminding me I still need to build my VF-1D... just gotta find the right paint first, and get an airbrush

I would thoroughly enjoy a gunslinger Alphonse... that's why I said I wanted just the new hands

Wow... not entirely surprised, but at least we finally get a clear answer on the subject.

It's almost completely un-doable on anything smaller than 1/48 if you favor your sanity... a digi-camo finish is doable, but something as complex and with such a fine grain as that is almost impossible.

Gotta agree with you there... three handguns is too much... and not being able to store the gun with the leg closed is super lame. I wonder why the normal gun can't be stored in the leg tho... seems extra lame to have a special gun just for storing in the leg. I personally wouldn't mind having the new hands, but otherwise I'm fine with my Alphonse.

Anyone know the actual release date of the upcoming DMZ 1/18 Turbo Custom?

Tell me about it... and 2007 isn't even over yet!

Nope... no more KOs for me. I had a few bootleg combiners when I was a kid a few years ago, but now I only buy real vintage. I have heard that at least the Mirage KO isn't badly done, but I still object to that whole KO company making blatant replicas of G1 toys, box and all. And like you said, why pay real prices for a bootleg? Even if it is something exclusive like the clear Mirage, that's still rather expensive...

No, LSB, you've hit the nail on the head... the bike wouldn't look nearly so goofy if it has even a little ground clearance...

I'm so glad I skipped the movie line entirely... aside from a few alternators, I've never really had to worry so much about having a hard time finding a toy, and I've certainly never had to worry about which version to buy for the least compromises on the design. I feel for you guys tho, not being able to find a toy anywhere suck, even if it is an ugly movie figure.

Personally, I weathered the whole valk and just didn't touch the heatshield... looks a bit funny being shiny, but it's still better than it would look if you matte-coated it bc/ it would become frosted...

Lookin good WD...

I've got no problem with the feet showing... at least the bottom of the feet block off the otherwise funny gap.

Honestly, I'm a bit bummed about the current crop... I' m not buying movie toys. I miss being able to pick up a new Alternator at Target and have so me fun with it...about halfway thru, I decided I'd only buy Autobot Alts bc/ that makes more sense, and got sick of repaints, so pretty much the only fig I'm missing is Mirage...

I personally don't understand the vinyl figs...they are really nice looking, but for being un-posable and vinyl, why the hell are they so expensive? Isn't the point of vinyl to be cheap? Let alone the not being articulated... seems like for less money they could have just made all plastic figures with mild articulation that would have been much more fun and affordable to put with your Ingrams...

I've got an iPod Magnus question... I've got a 20GB Click-Wheel iPod, so it has alot of play in the slot, and I'm worried about damaging the dock-piece... I was wondering if the Universal iPod Dock has the same slot as the Convoy(Magnus?) dock, meaning that the Universal Dock Adapters would fit it... I've never used an actual Dock before... I used cables, and then an iHome which recently died, and that uses different adapters... So if anyone knows, can I use standard dock adapters on the dock on iPod Magnus?

I'm so aggravated by this, as I'd love to put some PS1 games on my PSP, but I don't want to hack the firmware... truth be told, I actually did have to get my PSP replaced not that long ago due to an accident, and I doubt I would have gotten a new one under warranty if it was hacked... I wish there was a way to dual boot or something... It just seems like with the PSOne emu already enabled, there must be a work-around that hacks the game files without requiring different firmware... someone needs to figure out what Sony does to the PSOne game images available on the PSStore and then figure out how to do that to more game files...

I NEED Fansubs, and then I'd also buy R1 releases... finished the TV series last week and it was stupendous...

Same as with the Macross Revs... two different places on the shelf... I love my MP SS's a whole lot, but I also love smaller scale stuff to play with...

You know... I've never updated from the PC... I've updated from the WiFi like, once, but I only now ever get around to it when a game updates... not sure how to help ya on that one... you sure you don't want say, a new game? Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow is actually incredible...

Got my iPod Convoy (clearly Ultra Magnus now that a Prime colored one is coming out...) and it's pretty rad overall... the new head sculpt is BALL-JOINTED which is killer... it looks like the rest of the Convoy tooling is getting kinda tired tho... there's some big ejector marks on parts that were never so prominent... the molding is much less crisp on the die-cast parts than it used to be, especially on the top-of-cab lamps there's some evidence of mold degradation on the edges of the parts where the meet the roof... the two halves of the feet have a terrible seam line in the middle... there's also a few paint scuffs which I'm a little miffed about, and really would like to fix, but don't want to make a mess on the die-cast enamel finish... I find it weird that the gun is the Bloated version as well... do all reissue Prime's come with the bloated gun? The new head and classic figure are still pretty awesome, and the iPod speakers and dock are solid... I'm just worried that I'll burn out the LED behind the Autobot symbol if I leave the speakers on so I can use it as an alarm clock with my iPod...

Eh, the Fix figs and smaller scale stuff isn't really my scene... I'm a large scale toy (Yamato valks, Yamato Scopedogs, stuff like that) person, a G1 Transformers maniac, and a bit of a super hero person, altho I've curbed my super hero purchasing to just Iron Man figures at this point (wish I had photographed my IM figs before I put them in storage... I've got a pretty impressive spread of armors.)

Weird... here's a link for it directly... 40K Demo on Gamespot The review on Gamespot is pretty mediocre too, surprisingly... they complain about the camera and controls, but honestly, I had no problem with either... and they complain about not being able to judge shots, which I find odd, as it gives you a quite clear Line of Sight indicator to use... Personally, the one big issue I have is the lack of races... sounds like it's just Marines and Chaos... which is a shame.

Wow, they both look alot better than Prime and Megs (little less Dreamwave puffy)... I'm def. down for both. I agree tho that SS's neck is a bit funky looking. I'll tell ya what tho, I woulda loved to get Hot Rod over Rodimus...

nah, check out the THQ website, or the new PSP store website..
