awesome - thanks IXTL. Damn, looks like I need to start budgeting for this .... EDIT: Anyone know of a good place to pre-order?? LOS doesn't seem to have it listed ...

Sorry if this has been asked before: so when's the VF-11B due for release? Thanks

New MP Grimlock pics look awesome. I think I want this now ....

I've had no problems with them. My only complaint would be that the fighter nose on Cyclonus doesn't really lock into place when extended, so it has a tendency to slide back into the main nose section. But for $7.77 a piece, these TF Deluxes are sweet. Thanks for posting this. Awesome. I'll be getting Leader Class Prime from the ROTF series!!

I can't believe the continual crappy Alpha QC by Crapnami ....

My Beta is on its way, should arrive early next week ... can't wait ....

Finally found TF Universe wave 4 at Wal-mart yesterday!! Woot! woot! Only saw the 1 case and they are AWESOME. I am very impressed with them. Hound and Cyclonus are MUST HAVES IMO if you are a G1 TF fan - the molds and transformations are great for Deluxed sized TFs. Transformations are very original. Both are great homages to their G1 counterparts. Hound's design is slightly TF Animated-like with a simplistic appearance, and the Ravage that comes with him is neat too. I suppose the alt mode for Cyclonus is a little weak, cause you can see the legs ... if you look for 'em. Cheetor is ok. Not as bad as some have said, but it's a tough figure to pull off IMO. The rear legs in beast mode are weak and kinda lame. I've left the G1 colour accurate Starscream in package - not sure if he's a keeper since his robot mode looks so plain. Apologies for the pics, I am not a great photographer. Good hunting ...

I'm leaning towards the Beagle version ... but in the end, price difference will likely determine which version I buy.

@Ravenhawk: Please let us know how the QC is on your Shadow Chronicles Alpha ...

See jenius's review of the Beta here: http://anymoon.com/blog/2008/12/21/toynami...-robotech-beta/ There's a pic of them together near the end.

Looks mildly interesting ....

I hope MH releases a Fuke, so I can complete the ride armour "set" ....

Ha Ha Ha .... good one Totoro242!!! :lol:

I hope the BotCon exclusives are "good" this year, seeing as I am likely to be able to attend for the first time. Last year's set was LAME, but the games of deception set from 2 years ago (i.e., Classics Thundercracker, Thrust, Dirge et al.) was awesome.

FYI: Amazing custom Defensor on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=140290439029

I believe "Classics" Huffer was a BotCon exclusive ... a repaint of TF Cybertron Armorhide.

Saw the trailer .... looks good to me so far.

I haven't seen any of the latest waves of TF Universe where I am ...

Hey Kamui 777: how's the vehicle voltron DVD set? I'm thinking about getting it ...

OK, just ordered the Beta .... hope it gets here within a week or so.

Masterpiece Thundercracker looks cool ... too bad I gotta save up for the Toynami Beta ...

Nice pics. I really want one of these now ...

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that dude ... Crapnami poor QC strikes AGAIN!!!

I was getting Encore Metroplex for Christmas and was sweating this news for the last few days. Finally was able to check today and phew, luckily I have a legit one!! What a relief. Got mine from LOS - as an FYI. ^_^ Awesome news!!! Looks like I'm going this year ... if I can afford it. ^_^ Happy holidays everyone!!

neat
