treatment

but don't you need a long drawn out essay on why you like apples? Please post only if you have an informed opinion. It's clear that you have a very limited if nonexistent experience in jumbo shrimp collecting. I'm looking for opinions from people who can actually compare by experience (and not only with just apples and jumbo shrimp but also other lines of lobsters).

despite the sucky shipping-cost, nora r0x! pity that there's no Cheyenne, but here's Nora swooping in...

what's up with the tiny feet?

honestly, dude. The old JoyRide MadCat-II figure has got significant diecast, mini-pilot, canopy-door, and stickers. Not to mention swiveling and other articulations to make some damn nice poses. All for $20 back in '03. Even the DIY-version of it was $20. I'm not sayin', but I'm just sayin'.

that's it? no accessories? no gimmicks other than ball-jointed cannons? how much is this again? edit: $25 msrp for this? srsly?!

so I saw Bludgeon today and I just wasn't convinced that he's worth the $20 wally's is asking for him. maybe $7. definitely not worth more than $10. :sigh: anyway, there's also BeachComber and some forklift guy on the ROTF two-fer. BeachComber was a bit interesting, tho. A repaint of DuneRunner, but seems to be just compatible with the Classics. Just kinda weird he's got dual triple-barrels for such a laid-back G1 character. the forklift-dude was meh. nothing else on the TF aisle except those moronic SW-TF crossovers. guess i'll just have to wait for Peg and Thrust, and those new combiners.

Good grief! Even with the Revy's fugliness, the Toynami's even MORE FUGLY THAN EVER! At least in Battroid-mode.

MASSIVE FAIL!

heads up if you're going to your local Wally's! First off, the Season-2-vol-2 is out now for $20. Second, MP-Skywarp is down to $50 retail/in-store. You might have to check the backrows, as that's where I found them accidentally while browsing around.

At that time, the three local wally's here didn't have any in stock to pick it up from. That's why I missed out on the online-sale.

well, the box states "Hikaru Ichijo" so it's automatically the TV-version instead of the DYRL-version since Hikkie never operated a 1J nor a GBP in DYRL.

tough to say. it was a sticker-shock at $60 at first. there were plenty on the shelves on the first week. then afterwards (second week and beyond), it was all gone from the three wally's I go to. I couldn't find it for my nephew's x'mas present.

somethingawful.com brings you... Dorkiest Mechs of 3025 (BattleTech) Such an amusing writeup about the mechs of Battletech. Check your faves. enjoy! :lol:

well, i just received my Rifleman aka Destroid Defender today. i tell yah, this guy really ain't worth the full price, much less at half-price. but oh well. just gotta have it. i take comfort that i got it during the previous sale. since I'm pretty meh on the Phalanx, this Defender will likely be my last destroid until Yamato decides to make the Spartan. unless, of course, them colored (OD/KG) versions goes on a sweet sale. a couple of pics...

hehehe! better retire it already since you are aware that the real 1/60 Max-1S is still part of the HLJ-sale, right? http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00128

the old thread was already closed, so I reckon we gotta start a new one with the home-video release instead. I was tempted to get the BD-version instead, but oh well. also, Something Something Something Dark Side is out, too, as well as a couple of other good releases today.

Girly valk?????!!? ayup. check it out:

It was released in Oct! and Desty_Nova totally just missed the hlj-sale on the M&Ms, too. poor guy.

I think the $40 MP-Skywarp was an online-only offer. Heck! They've upped it to $50 now online-only, too. btw, for Silverbolt, I was actually just price-checking it since I thought it was put there in the bargain-aisle by mistake. Well, turns out it wasn't a mistake. In contrast, there's a bunch of ROTF-figures in the $10 bargain-aisle, which I think is a huge mistake as these figures are really worth no more than $5. Also, kinda weird that Red Powerglide went up to $30 again after being discounted to $25 just last month. edit: just couldn't resist gerwalkin' SB. he's actually got surprisingly good balance. prolly better gerwalkin' than the Bandai DX VF25s.

so, another wally's run, another TF figure in the bargain-bin. this time, it's the boring-but-still-goodly-sized TF-U Silverbolt ultraclass. for a whoppin $11!

dude, could you take some more snaps and stuff with the cockpit rotated in battroid mode?

it's nice and all, but it really does need a heatshield. also, Yamato should've employed the rotating-seat feature from M0, so that Miriya (and Max) wouldn't be facing awkwardly down when the VF-22's in battroid-mode. oh, and yeah. Milia-pilot needs to have boobies like Nora-pilot.

yeah. not bad at all for $20. i'm not really a TFA-fan, but this UM is a really great toy. I never saw the original TFA-UM on wally's shelves, but this Road-Buster version is fine enough and the pricing is sweet. I'm not that hot on the new colors, but it has grown on me rather quick. the only thing I'd like it to have added is waist/waist-swivel, so the upper-body will have some better poses!

hmm, has somebody posted this, yet? US$20 at wally's. just could not resist.

seems like Nora's on sale again at 10,900y, too. http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00064
