  1. What's wrong with the Spidey Figure?
  2. That’s the best price you are going to get. MSRP I think is 8800 yen but you have to pay tax, which puts it over 9200 already without shipping. NY offers fantastic deals on TWE items.
  3. Just opened this! Most importantly, no breaks and it seems all pretty solid. I'm pretty happy with this thing and it has already turned me around as far as how I was feeling the other day about Transformers and MP in general. Looks great in both modes, which is one of the most important things to me and the transformation is pretty cool with no silly feeling of it being a forever folding until you get to the right shape type of transformation. There are some parts that seem extremely delicate and the joints are tight so my recommendation if you get a good one of these is to hold the parts as close to the joints as possible when moving them to reduce stress and chances of breaking. Other than that, I will go so far as to say this is the best MP Autobot I've ever handled.
  4. Happy New Year!
  5. Wow, sweet! Happy New Year!
  6. I think 45 looks ok in bot mode except the feet, which look like an incomplete afterthought. Alt mode is a wreak, a complete gappy mess. Not very satisfying for a $100 figure. I watched some more reviews on Hound and that one actually looks really good except the floating head with ugly bar holding it in place from behind and the gun that doesn't clear the passenger or windshield. Those are pretty minor gripes though. I guess if mine isn't broken in the box, it could be a win for me. I don't want to deal with a broken Prime so maybe I'll just leave it in the box indefinitely. I don't even want to think about transforming that one ever anyways, lol.
  7. So, I opened this one. If I feel like this was a ripoff and pretty junky, should I even bother opening any of the other MPs including 44 and up?
  8. Wow, that does look much more real compared to anime look of the Arcadia. Very cool! Oh great, sucks to hear! I have yet to open any official MP Transformer since Sunstreaker and I still haven’t even transformed that or Megatron. It sounds like I’m just throwing money away to TakaraTomy. I think my Hound just got delivered this morning but I haven’t checked what’s in the box yet. Maybe I should just sell them all without opening so I can avoid finding out if they are defective, lol.
  9. I like them both. The SHF obviously has better joints, articulation and accessories (not all shown) but the Carbonized paint job on the BS is cool. But yeah, I can’t imagine someone saying the BS is better than SHF especially when comparing the regular BS version.
  10. Oh that makes a lot more sense. The Yeti stands are solid AF so I never heard anyone say they thought one would break from holding several Valks, let alone one. I was imagining how heavy could those hollow parts be?
  11. Are you talking about a Yetistand? I don't think it will break but if worried, I'd make sure to put the pressure on the arms along the skinny, not flat side...which they usually are set to be.
  12. My kids have been big on Ninjas from Ninjago, TMNT, Naruto and Gatchaman. Needless to say, I am proud. Sooner or later, I knew Power Rangers would be a thing and it has hit big time with them. I got my son this for Christmas. I have heard “Power Star Lock in! Ninja Spin!” Constantly for the last few days, lol! Needless to say, it’s his favorite present by far and his older sister wants one for her birthday now.
  13. Cool! I don’t remember but I take it the Fewture is larger scale than the Arcadia? I’m pretty happy with the Arcadia versions for about 1/3 the price. But that’s an awesome gift for yourself! Lol about the size of the DX w/ SSP! I thought the Yamato’s were pretty bulky but these are even more? Nice!
  14. Yeah, I wasn’t expecting anything and didn’t even know the items were in stock but I got a bunch of shipping emails. Cool with me! I would have been fine if they waited until after their holidays too.
  15. Cool! They were nice enough to send out a bunch of my other orders this week before they took their break.
  16. Considering we know it is coming for sure, I totally agree.
  17. Giving is the true spirit of Christmas! Good job. Now go buy yourself another Valk.
  18. Awww, all the likes I’ve gotten for the last few posts. Muahahahaha, my reverse psychology worked. jk, but all good. Haha @jeniusornome almost everyday is like that for me. I order stuff and never worry about it again. I just sit back and collect toys at home, enjoying them whenever they come. Haven’t been able to enjoy a DX 1S yet but my day will come.
  19. Lol, I’m just level upping by nitpicking the nitpicks.

    Hi-Metal R

    Very nice @sh9000!
  21. Maybe some people just enjoy their toys without needing to pull out microrulers to make sure everything matches every source drawing out there even though those drawings are completely inconsistent.
