Slave IV

Money Gone!

Nice! Nove. Release huh? When will the preorder start?

Looking great! Can't wait to get mine and pose in Fighter/Gerwalk mode while my regular version finally gets to wear the Armor and stay in Battroid mode.

Over 90% does seem like abuse. It’s interesting they mention low prices. Most people probably cancel because they find the same items for cheaper elsewhere. I highly recommend anyone who gets this notice to respond to HLJ and tell them that is why they have so many cancellations. Beyond that, I wonder if anyone has ever done the “right” thing and contacted hlj before cancelling to tell them they found the same item for less to see if they will price match to keep your business. I haven’t but will think about it if I need to cancel for that reason. The way it works now, hlj has no idea why people are canceling so if they did, maybe they would try to be more competitive with their pricing. Or, they might just stop allowing cancellations, lol.

Looks great!

Damn! That Devastator looks fantastic! @Tking22 Conrats on completing you MP collection!

Haha, those are two expensive ass items! I have them both coming to me too.

Looks fantastic! Great job and dedication!

I didn't like Batman much either and have no need for any other Batman figures after I got my Mezco TDKR one but I ordered it anyways to support the Amazing Yamaguchi line in hopes to see more DC figures from them and further the "best line in comic style toys ever"! Still haven't opened Carnage yet but it looks purty through the box. Welcome and congrats on the pick ups. Nice choices and pics. Look forward to seeing your future posts. I saw some early photos but have to go back and check again. I really pay little to no attention to Transformers anymore. I'm actually not a fan of MP-10 and that is one of the only times I settled for something because I figured if I was going to have an MP Transformer collection, it would be silly not to have Prime. I prefer MP-1 as the best Prime made so far.

Not sure why you think you are in the minority when you are basically echoing what we said and elaborating in much greater detail. Basically yeah, Macross > Transformers and the latest MPs look horrible overall but I will say MP-39 Sunstreaker is a marvel of modern toymaking. That is a true Masterpiece from TT even though it still doesn't look great in bot mode, it's much better than most the other recent MPs.

Good stuff!

Nice! It's probably one of my least favorite from the line but still a fun figure. The Shield and effects parts are excellent! I put the effects on my Mezco Cap's shield. This one would have been a lot better to me if it just had a better looking classic head option. Still, can't go wrong with the best line in comic style figures ever! I just got my Carnage last night and haven't had a chance to open yet but that is looking to be one of the best yet! Exactly! I've waited over 30 years for this stuff already. No sense wasting time and money on compromises at this point. There are way to many excellent toys out there to keep me busy until something really good comes along. Right now, all I really want is to pick up GP Sludge and wait for their Grimlock and then see if anyone ever makes some good Seekers, Jazz, Sideswipe and Galvatron and I think I will be completely happy and done with Transformers. Of course, if I see some good Triple Changers and Combiners later on, I might bite.

Yeah, I definitely will check out BC SS and XTB Clifjumper. But yeah, I'm pretty much done with Transformers...Macross figures are so much better and give me more enjoyment owning so I'd rather buy multiples of the same mold Valk than less on some new, crappy TF. I really, really wanted to like and get the MT Seekers but I can't get over the hollow wings...looks horrible to me. The thruster covers on top of the hollow wings completely kill the fighter mode look for me. Bot mode looks fantastic on the other hand. I considered buying one of those new KO MP-11's for Starscream and a MT for Skywarp but I don't settle and that's a lot of money for figures I don't like so I'd rather just wait for something better or not have Seekers at all.

Haha yeah, I don't care about Takara vs 3P, just what looks better to me. As for your defense of MP-12, I totally get all that but no matter what the excuse, it just never looked like a good figure to me. Same goes for MP-11 which is why I still have no Seekers. MP-1 and several others from before and around the same time as 11 & 12 do look good to me. I also don't care about Toon slavish looks, again, just what looks good to me. Is MP-36 an overall better toy than MX-I? Sure, MP-36 has great articulation and a mind blowing transformation design but MX-I looks a lot better to me so I like MX-I better still. I like articulation and good engineering but all of that is useless to me if the toy looks bad in the end.

I still haven't got around to take a closer look but I remember my initial impression was that it might not be good enough for me...the bot mode looks off. The only MP-12 mold I have is a KO Tigertrack because it was a cheap way to check it out and I love Yellow Lambos. Mine is a good copy that I think is better than official based on the reviews but I just don't think MP-12 was a good design and it was not a great execution of the bad design.

Neither do I (buy a lot of Transformers) but now I'm about to see what's posted about this at TFW and check your review out. I've been waiting for a proper Sideswipe and not sure if this will be it or not. Car looks way better than the MP in your pic and the jet pack doesn't hurt.

Congrats! Welcome to the addiction

Congrats on the hauls! That 31C is gonna look nice with the Supers on (it already looks good without).

I don't even know why I bought most these other than I'm doing it for the kids!

Congrats! I was hoping you would calm down and not stress yourself out too much over it.

yeah, a more classic Iceman would be better. I just think they need to use a different face...looks too old and mean for Iceman to me.

You don't like the one from the last X-Men wave? This mold looks a bit old for Iceman. And no need to make a Silver Surfer when this should be out soon

Here is the VF-4G file with skulls added to a pair of the stabilizers. I just ordered some white decal paper so hopefully will get some skulls and kites added to my Valks soon!

Thanks! I didn't realize the skull image was separate from the black background for the vertical stabilizers...NBD, I can adjust the file before I print but that was an odd choice. Thanks again!

@rdrunner I looked at mine again and not sure what the problem could be. Again, just make sure it's lined up properly and snap it on. Maybe watch @jenius's review again.
