  1. Lol, anything to make a buck (or a hundred)! Another thing I wish would be done is using magnets to complete circuits. Best example I can think of is Pilders in Mazinger's head. Pilder in, connected with magnet and eyes light up, take pilder out, eyes off. Would still need an override switch but still be a really cool feature.
  2. I love the use of magnets. Only wish most companies would use stronger ones.
  3. Awaiting the preorders...but not in any hurry. I hope they take their sweet time on it so I can recover a bit of money.
  4. I'd love to see it under $200 but a Re:Edit non-transforming Iron Man figure in the same scale is close to $200 (much more if we are talking about Hulkbuster). Many Riobots have been $200+. Let's just say I'll be happy if it's under $300. I mean, I don't want to pay that much but if that's what it's gonna take, I'll make it happen.
  5. My wife has been helping me secure DX and HMR preorders by logging on with her phone during preorder madness hours.
  6. Can't wait for the Sentinel Ride Armor! Just read this old article recently where the director at T-Tex said, “For me, personally, working on the original Beagle Mospeada was interesting. It was my first big project and I learned a lot. However, I look at it now and wish I could go back to re-design it based on the knowledge and experience I've acquired since. The other projects I also loved doing were the big SDF-1 Macross toy from Macross and the Starship Troopers power armor for Sentinel.” Source So, it looks like he got his wish and it means that this will likely be an incredible toy. But we all already expected that.
  7. The original movie is my top two all time favorite anime movie along with Ninja Scroll. Seen both nearly 100 times and been anticipating this for a while. Got a bit worried due to some criticism and knowing how Hollywood often messing things up. But man did I enjoy that! It was basically the original movie with more emphasis on action but still had a lot of the underlying story told in a more clear way. Fantastic job by everyone involved! My wife liked it too! A bit scary for my daughter but her eyes were glued most the time.
  8. A bunch of new Star Wars figures added to my main Star Wars shelf:
  9. Good advice! I try to forget about the things I missed and just hope for reissues or newer, improved versions. If there is something you really want that came out a while ago, search for deals and be patient. They are just toys and there are plenty to go around and to come.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    My items from CDJ have always been packed very well. Pretty close to amiami standards.
  11. Nice! The One:12 figures are sweet and I wanted Punisher but the options annoyed me to the point of passing on them all. They make some truly irritating decisions sometimes.
  12. There were a couple Shape Changing on ebay for $169 and $150 but those are long gone. I've been combing the internets for it hoping to find a better deal.

  14. Nice! What's left for you, Modular? I'm not a completionist but I want Shape Changing armor bad!
  15. This is excellent, thank you!
  16. ouch! That's like the opposite of getting a golden ticket. Hope they take care of it.
  17. Haha, yeah...So much fun! Those Diecast Star Wars Vehicles were sweet. I still have the Snowspeeder and X-Wing on display in front of me everyday. Here's a couple new pickups for me: And...Gerwalk mode!
  18. Nice find! I had a similar moment not too long ago
  19. Cool! Nice setup too.

    Yep! They come when they come...in the end we still have them. Only difference is more money left over for other things. I don't think you can combine a paid preorder and unpaid. The issue is the missile effect parts are prepay only. So, If you order them all together, you have to pay for it all at once at order time in order to ship them together. Thanks!
  21. Well, I have KO MP-12T (Tigertrack), MP-20 (Wheeljack), MP-21 (Bumblebee) and the OS KO MP-8 (Grimlock). All of mine are as good or better than the originals. So I'll take my own word for it. Not trying to convince anyone to do anything but I'm curious for myself how these Macross KOs turn out. If they are as good as the TF KOs I have, they will be worth the money to me for sure.
