  1. I want to say I will pass but I know me, I will take the dive just because it's in the movie and I will want to add it to my toy to recreate scenes.
  2. I want your Job Kicker as my collection while is nice is no where near this nice. I have a room but it's just a toy room mixed with everthing i have. I would love a macross room and the funds for stuff like the helmets and everything. Truly jealous my friend truly jealous
  3. It works on the YF-29. Plus isn't it purplish anyway in the anime?
  4. Yeah I skipped it too because I all ready had a VF-1J and opted for the stand alone armor.
  5. Yes there were part of an exclusive edition of the armored VF-1J
  6. Yeah i think I will go with the TFClub one. I am all about size lol.
  7. Though I have the original Takara one I would be will to look into the retooled version later this year. I am skipping the Hasbro though it is MUUUUUCCCH cheaper dammit I love my black boots on my Hot Rod/Rodimus
  8. I picked up Scourage and Wheeljack from Downtown Disney which makes them more expensive than normal retail but I can't find them anywhere else and it saves cost on online sales and shipping. I really like the generations line.
  9. Soooo question of the day.... are you guys going to get the MakeToy Devestator or the TFClub one??? As we move on past this argument.
  10. Um superior is a bit much considering it's the exact same thing, only the side kibble is placed in a different area. I would know because I detach the kibble and add it to the legs which takes all of two seconds.
  11. I was lucky enough to find a barely used one for about 250 or so on ebay, but they are getting harder and harder to find, and are very expensive. Let's hope for a rerelease sometime soon.
  12. I don't think it would be hard. You just need to think of what the bot should look like with the parts that the F-22 all ready has. Shoji does that, and I am sure if given the challenger he could make it work. You keep bringing up the fact VFs aren't real fighters, but you gloss over the fact that most of them are based on real fighters. He is very smart in his designs, and he adjust real world designs to make a functioning transforming robot without pieces that mysteriously appear or disappear. When the movies were designed they honestly didn't take into affect how the transformations would work, they just wanted cool looking robots, thus the movie designes are flawed anyway as those robots couldn't possibly transform into those vehicles with the parts that are shown. If they thought about the designs a bit more to make them show all parts for both modes the bots would look very different, and more like their alt modes than they do. Hmm much like oh I don't know the original designs of Transformers.
  13. I am looking forward to a real trailer which we probably won't get until late winter/ early spring if we are lucky.
  14. He was the design supervisor, everything i have seen states it was his design. Plus the only thing that changed from the prototype is how the stuff on the legs were moved to the hips but it is all the same. And once again he has the foresight to try and envision the toy to work in all modes, while Hasbro either wants a good bot or a good alt most times. From recent lines, the Human Alliance is the best of both worlds that they can offer, that and the Animated line which I loved. While simple they proved in the animated line they can make screen acturate toys in both modes.....except for starscream, who was a stylistic future jet and still had kibble. Actually the Generations line is pretty decent at it too, so why screw up the movie figs?
  15. Still be better than Hasbro. Actually to prove my point Shoji is the one who designed Masterpiece Starscream and the only kibble was hip kibble which i usually detach from the hips and add to the legs anyway. So a better designer still turned in a better product. Also we aren't necessarily bashing them just pointing out the obvious. I have Leader Starscream and I enjoy him greatly, I have jetfire too but only to combine with prime. A lot of us are huge TF fans, but their kibble is still a point of issue.
  16. Haven't we all ready been down this road before? Limbs aren't kibble on a VF as they are fully integrated into the fighter as is their design, unlike all transformers figures where you see 80 percent of the robot underneath the jet. Kibble comes from one part of a transforming toy not integrating fully with the other part. TF fighters are notorious for this. The best fighter/ plane mode is Masterpiece Starscream (not the movie version), unfortunaly when in bot mode there is hip kibble. Despite the fact the VFs are not actual planes they are heavily based on real world designs. Shoji redesigns them to eliminate kibble thus all parts of the fighter are present and accounted for in Battroid and vice versa as can be seen in the Macross Design Works and other source material. And last I check there are futuristic designs in TF whether they be jets or other and still kibble is present on the toys thus negating your arguement.
  17. We have yet to see what it will actually look like on film though. It does look odd but actually production shot will look different than the behind the scenes view of it.
  18. Cause in America kids like noises, lights and sounds, who cares of the alt mode is crappy cause of it, kids will buy it because they talk.....Suckers......
  19. Those are just custom titles here for special people lol. We have ranks, you start off as canon fodder and move up.
  20. Scary Movie 1 and 2 were funny and enjoyable at least at the time anyway, but when the Wayans left it went down hill. I like their parodies such as I'm Gonna Get You Suck and Don't Be A Menace, but most of their films are throw aways. Though I am still waitinig to see if Fox will foot the bill for an In Living Color ruin, while it would be very expensive I think it would pay off bringing everyone back for one last go.
  21. Most of us know who he is as most of us are state side we just don't use those names here lol, it causes people to get their torches and pitch forks. Kakazaki is what he is known as around here, or Hayao.
  22. Finally got one from EvilBay for a decent price. Only used and transformed one, has everything including AND I have the poster as well. I do really enjoy this figure. Though the left arm is loose nothing to really cry about as this is still an awesome fig especially considering what Bandai was offering a few years ago.
  23. I don't know they seemed pretty committed to the last version 1 DX line, and with the sales of the VF-27, 29, and other stuff I think it is a safe bet they will continue with the version 2.
  24. I wonder if the producers are hating themselves right now since this show is terrible and getting little to no press where as ThunderCats so far is killing it. It would make me want to go back and revamp our entire show if I was on this team. Say Sven was in a coma and this is his terrible nightmare lol.
