    The light on my MP-01 actually still shines brightly after 11 years. How long does a button cell battery usually last?

    What damage? I've had two MP-1 toys since it first came out (Takara and Hasbro) and that's the first I've read a comment like this. Generally people talk about how solid it is. After all of the high end TF toys that have come out since 2003 I still think MP-10 is the most rugged and solidly built of them all. Mine has seen a lot of play over the years, by myself and by guests who want to handle it. I've never had anything break, crack, chip or even get loose. The thing is a tank and an honest to goodness TOY. That said, I prefer MP-10 overall because it's more user-friendly being smaller and lighter, but I quite enjoy having both MP01 and MP10. ::EDIT:: Also I'd say it's worth far more than $20 or $30. You'll never find one at those prices anyway - much less MIB - unless it's broken.

    It is being reported that Galvatron's feet are not finalized in the photos we've been seeing. Apparently that space at the bottom will be filled with diecast metal, so they wont have the 'claw' look they currently do.

    Hey congrats on your daughter! I didn't notice your signature until now. I know what you mean about money. My girl will be 4 in November which means I've been buying a LOT less stuff over the last four years. Pre-kiddo I pretty much just bought whatever I wanted but now I have to think more about what I really want and prioritize. Which is good for me because less impulse buying means less regret. The larger DX-9 toys are on the expensive side. Their Astrotrain is $155, the upcoming Rodimus and Galvatron are each $165.

    Yeah, and DX-9 has some truly fantastic toys in terms of quality of materials and construction. If you really like what you see in photos you're almost guaranteed to like one of their toys in hand.

    This one is by DX-9, which is the name Unique Toys uses for their "MPish" toys. There are way too many company names swinging around in the unlicensed TF circus. Sometimes I wonder if it's all just the same three guys using a hundred different names.

    *is secretly really happy Arcadia is sticking with the blue accents*
  8. eriku
    Wait...why are we talking about the "end of Arcadia"? Did I miss something?

    MP Ironhide has a Diaclone/G1 face homage that wants to devour your soul. *Pic stolen from TFW

    You are right.

    Thank you Tochiro for taking the time to talk to them and share it with us. I can definitely understand their caution with this toy. I'm still surprised anyone is trying anything Macross II since it's always kind of been the red-headed stepchild of the Macross universe. I wish them lots of luck and success and I look forward to getting that "preorder processing" email.

    I've cancelled with them intentionally a couple of times, and one time they cancelled on me because I was on vacation and unable to make a payment when the notice came in. I've never had any problems. I keep my communication with them concise, honest and polite and they have never made any threats. The bigger risk with AmiAmi is their return/exchange policy. Basically if you get something with a problem you are pretty much stuck with it. As for the SAP- I don't personally need or even want one but we have some very creative folks here at MW so maybe a set will be custom made for those who want one.

    I'm just buying one to support my addiction. :3
  14. eriku
    I'm in for one.
  15. eriku
    It does improve him. I'm more interested in that Nightbeat upgrade...waiting for the preorder on that one.

    Ha! It seems so obvious now that I see it. They'll look great once that error is corrected.

    new macross chara figure

    eriku replied to valid's topic in Toys

    This is exactly what I've wanted for many many years so hopefully they turn out well. I've got a long history of Toynami's toys turning to crap so the fact they are related to Toynami at all is my only cause for concern. It seems they may be made and produced by Oritoy with just Toynami distributing them, so hopefully that will result in some quality figures. I do think Rick and Roy's hair seems a bit limp. Since they don't need to fit the helmets over those heads (helmeted heads are swappable) they should really go wild with the hair. They also need to do a Kakizaki but I'm probably they only person that would buy him.

    Cool, hope you get what you want someday but I'm glad this one doesn't have any of those extra steps in the transformation. I like how straightforward he is and the end result looks like Percy's alt mode to me so I'm content. I do wish he had an official tank mode, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
  19. eriku
    Yeah, a lot of people keep throwing around 'lackluster' and other 'ho hum' type comments at TFW but I guess I don't know what else a Masterpiece Perceptor needs to do that Tesla doesn't do. Considering the source material I don't think Tesla lacks any luster at all. It looks pretty much perfect to me in both modes, has an enjoyable transformation, is built really well and is highly poseable so that's all I need.
  20. eriku
    My FansToys Tesla (Perceptor) came in today. Highly recommended if you like Percy. Solid in both modes, tons of joints, very high quality overall. The dials on his arms and the feet are diecast metal. Just a nice, clean and no-nonsense rendition of the character. This is my first FansToys toy so I look forward to getting more from them in the future, probably Hound.
  21. eriku
    ^Nice! Looking forward to that guy, especially since their Makuros was so damn well done. As for Cupola, I'd probably be more excited if I didn't have Code, who remains one of my favorite transforming toys of all time. Add to that the severely limited forward hip movement on Cupola and I think I'll just admire him from afar. It looks like a hell of a fantastic toy though, and I'll be looking forward to Hardhead and whatever else they do.

    While I love G1 Ironhide's sled, I honestly have no interest in one that is just some extraneous accessory and doesn't form part of the alt mode. Actually I don't want most of the stuff he comes with. Just gimme Ironhide and a gun at a lower price and I'm good. Not that I want to deny anyone the extra goodies (I'm sure most appreciate them), I just think it would be cool if there was a 'stripped down' option.

    Photos like this make me immediately go to the toy room and play with my own. Awesome shots.
  24. eriku
    Wow, that Sky Lynx combiner. That...sure is a thing.
  25. eriku
    I'll take one Ironhide and no Munkky. Cool to see Robokong getting a MP toy though, the critter fans rarely get any toys at all.
