    While I'm dissapointed that Breakdown is not a good Lamborghini at all; I actually don't mind how this figure has turned out. He's still very much an Italian car and not even a Ferrari, instead he is now a Maserati, not really but like the MC12 if one squints hard enough you can still see the Enzo. At least they got the gun(s) right and I doubt the aftermarket will allow the wing to remain a single piece option only.

    More Mike Barnes please! So Daniel married the sister of the love interest in 3, nice to see her return and add a little depth to the Wifey's character. Not sure how they intend to go forward with dueling Dojo's but they haven't really dropped the ball yet.

    My copy of Delta Magnus has two painted smoke stacks; bummer your's doesn't.

    It's nice and cool, but not $250.+, cool. Glad I painted one of the Toynami releases to scratch this itch. Maybe if they ever get around to the Battlecry schemes, if I don't just paint them myself.

    Well she was practically just a new born; she was still undersized compared to Red that showed up at the end of book 2, though the reason for that is later revealed. So, that snout will undoubtly grow with time.

    Would be great if they could Wiessman back to voice Saphira and I wouldn't mind them keeping her design from the film, yes even the feathers. Everything else, well Jermey Irons did do the best with what he had, needs a rehaul.

    Well with a name like Deadend, did we really expect him to go anywhere? Here's hoping some 3P gives us some decent Slippers for him, that way he can easily shed them for Alt and Combined modes.

    So, I'm left with a few questions after watching this film. 1) The pistol in the film is indeed the very pistol bestowed upon Glover at the end of the second film; how do the Predator's get ahold of it? 2) Billy in the first film is "Spooked" and obviously has a Native background, is it Comanchee so he's heard tales passed down at Tribal gatherings or family history? Did he in essence have a vague ideal of what they were facing, which is why he stops at the "tree-bridge" and meets his end? Other than learning the "cycle-chain" in an incredibly short time, the film was a suprising welcome!

    Most likely already grabbed up; from what I've "heard" there are only 2 Clampdowns per case and only 1 Cosmos. Cosmos is a cool figure, especially when compared to the original $3.00 toy, and while it would be nice to have him in the collection; I've all but given up on that one. Clampdown will be had, even though I missed the HasbroPulse preorder. Still pushing Legacy wave 1 around here locally.

    Nice to actually see one of these "Junkion" kits actually get installed. Wasn't aware of the NonNef version but was aware that Maiden Japans, only description in the listings, have made a couple of different kits that do the same thing essentially. New head, chest, skirts and knee bolsters from what I can tell. Funny thing, I'm still awaiting my copy of Wreck Gar but already have the second Junkion release. TF Labs, leg and interrior shoulder covers fit nicely. When it comes to Slag, I've personally found GoBetter's kit to really hit the mark I was aiming for. Allows for the horns to swivel out and be seen in Bot mode, which was screen acurate. Plus the new rear Dino legs fillout so much better, though his calf's in Bot mode will now be larger due to the extra pieces folding up for storage. Easy install, even with the removal of the lowest screw in the rear legs.

    Not much a Collector, so I have no ideal what's considered rare for this hobby; besides the cardboard "Christmas Promise" package that started it all. My oldest grandson just received the PowerWheels Luke Landspeeder. His father found it at a resale shop and jumped at it as he is the family StarWars Super Fan. Have never seen one, so to me that's fairly rare.

    From what I've seen Youtube from the various reports is that Primal is indeed his own character. However, there is a shot of his scale going around and he is essentially Mighty Joe Young size, if not slightly bigger and not a hair can be found on him. So if they aren't going to use the organic portions of Beast Wars, why even introduce them into the Series?

    That may be, but it doesn't take away from the fact that it's not Radio "Hit" friendly, meaning while it can certainly be played on any Top 40's Radio station, I haven't heard it make the rounds on any of the various stations listened to around work or during any test drive with a Customer's radio station preferences playing. I have heard Berlin's Take My Breathe Away multiple times in last week and my "Classic Rock/Modern Rock" station has seen fit to break out some K. Loggins; the morning D.J. in particular. As a kid it was almost impossible to get through a Summer without at least one movie cleaning up on the radio stations, even if the film itself bombed. And while the Radio has certainly lost some of it's power, it's far from dead. Never thought I would miss Sunday's C.K. Top 100 countdown and all the stories, letters that accompanied those prodcasts; as the saying goes though; you never know what've you got, till it's gone.

    Only two new original songs for the Soundtrack; One Republic and Lady Gaga. Can't say I'm impressed with either, but found myself asking why with the talent used a couple of songs weren't covered from the first film. One Republic could have used their harmonies quite well covering "Playing with the Boys", put some extra emphasis on the base line and they might have had something on the airwaves again on cycle. Lady Gaga completely missed the opportunity to cover Berlin's song; and while K.M. isn't returning as a love interest, the fact that the love interest is one we have already heard stories about, it could be worked in with a little humor or just paying homage to those blue lit scenes from the first film. Thankfully from what I've heard, the Theme and Danger Zone get brought back.

    Trying to figure out why it got the score it did; a vast majority of the article gushes about how they actually managed to repeat the original in feel while visually blowing it out the water. The big complaints seem to be centered around the films diversity and or the lack of the originals; which is time period correct. They like the injection of new blood but miss the "boys" lockerroom "campiness" for lack of a better term. If you end an aritcle essentially saying it delivers just as well if not better than the orignal, how does it end up a 7, a 9.5-10 it will never be I'm sure but if its just like the old one isn't that a solid 8.5?

    Kingdom Arcee is a great "Action Figure" once you unpin the backpack and add the aftermarket upgrade kit. While I like some of the additional paint of the SS86 version; the fact that I will not be able to repeat said "action figure" is a non-sale, as the "Transformer" aspect of the figure is still very much lacking. Besides, she transformed what, a total of 4 times from the movie until the end of season 4? If they ever manage to pull off the headmaster version where her head can actually become Daniel in the typical Exo-suit, backpack be damned I'm in.

    They can keep the Eurobeat, but there better be some Noisy Tribe/M.O.V.E. tracks as well! Don't know that I'm up for a "retool" of a classic, to me, anime. Before Bunta would allow auto-driving cars on his pass, he would have kamikazed the WRX. I don't necessarily need a continuation of Tak or KT, but without a Fujiwara connection can it hold the magic? Feels more like a Midnight Wangan series over Initial D; still I'll give it a fair run-down. Should have gone with the new Supra instead of the BRZ/86; while doing so sticks with the old formula, it also automatically waters down the other drivers of the Porsches, Lamborghini's, and Ferarri's. Here's a C class car completely destroying A class cars; the original did a much better job of keeping the competition stiff but achievable, this is just bonkers for anyone who can actually drive, which given what it would cost to keep those vehicles road worthy, these fools can afford track time.

    They were massed produced but not in mass quanity; size, construction time and raw material make that imposssible. 2019 was the end of Jaegar construction and the height of Jaegar's, with the world having 30 active Jaegars, by 2025 only 4 remain on active duty. The Mark 5 Striker Eureka came with a price tag of over 100 Billion; not to mention alll the money and resources constantly going to the Wall project. The Australian Shatterdome was shutdown on 12-29-24; again if Australia is that important to both sides, why?
  20. Wolf-1
    I just feel like it's going off the rails simply because they can. The first two films gave us a total of what, 7-10 Jaeger's, from all around the world. We see that Australia has more than that in one valley; why, how? The Sisters aren't the reason, at least not the main reason, they would be more cause than effect.

    Not to mention that they were more or less just truly Robots, no personalities at all. I've never been a fan of Scourge or the Sweeps for some of the exact same reasons as you. However, this collection keeps outgrowing the original space alotted for it; already the Nemesis/Diaclone army has its own dedicated shelf with the main casts of seasons 1-3 on a 6ft table that is quickly becoming too small. So I figured it was time for a Movie shelf, but without robbing from my table, the Decepticon trio is sorely outnumbered by even Rodimus and his small cohort; the Quinteson pack helps to a degree but things just still feel off. While Cyclonus will be a "I want" purchase, the Sweeps are more of an completitionist OCD thing, much like the Insecticons will be as I never cared for them as characters either.
  22. Wolf-1
    I'm thinking the same thing; but since I didn't get the Sweeps either, things will be left unfinished, so $30 has just turned into $90. Since I don't have the original colors, no point behind the Diaclone repaints. Amazon exclusive from what I've been able to find.

    I've gotten as far as episode 3, where they come upon the "Domain of the Sisters". Episode 2 is a nod to Jurassic World and it's less than stellar thinking. Season 2 is sorta feeling like Amber Heard was allowed to drop and in and visit the bedroom.

    I thought he was Menasor, not Minisor. Nice collection and appreciate the trip down memory lane.

    Considering I did a rewatch of all of them just prior to purchasing NWH; I'll stand by my statement. S2 is the "cheesiest" as far as comic book acting goes; but Rami's films truly seem to capture what was early ASM in comics. The only glaring alteration would be that May tends to be more 80-90's May than 60-70's May; she is a bit more opinionated about Spiderman and his role, whereas early May just pretends to be oblivious while worrying over Peter's well being to even her detriment. The only redeeming quality to Spiderman 3, is the red head who turned blonde for the movie, giggle still gets me everytime! In fact we actually tend to get more "Swinging" Spidey action in the original trilogy compared to the others, though they all have their iconic moments or panels that they've copied. The first Avengers is the only film that really competes with Spiderman 2 as an overall Superhero story, for me.
