    Bandai DX VF-31

    technoblue replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Everyone who still has their pre-order should cross their fingers, though, and hope it doesn't get stuck in processing limbo like so many of the YF-29 Alto reissues did. I know I am. I think no matter what happens I may go with a different store for the next Delta Valkyrie that I pick up, just to reduce this after-order anxiety.

    Woops. I didn't expect anyone to read or answer what I wrote above that literally. It was more of a silly/rhetorical question. No one should be paying those kinds of prices when, with a bit of patience, you can probably get yourself a copy closer to retail if not with a store discount.

    I wonder when the pre-order for MP Despotron will go up? And since MakeToys also has my attention with their new Cross Dimension line, I wonder when pre-orders for Rioter Despotron will go up? http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/1066890-maketoys-cross-dimension-rioter-despotron-cybertronian-megatron-9.html#post13827466

    Good to know. Thanks, Scyla. Edit: Posting a link to the news for anyone else who is curious. http://thefwoosh.com/2016/06/action-toys-machine-robo-bike-robo-delayed

    Looking at YesAsia's price is like looking into the future. [sarcasm]Why wait five years to pay a similar price on mandarake and yahoo.jp when you can pay it today?[/sarcasm] Edited: to avoid confusing everyone...sorry

    Does anyone have any news on Bike Robo or what it is that has delayed him forever?

    Yep, yep! Got my confirmation at hlj, but was keeping a tab open for amiami just in case that didn't go through. edit: and...amiami is closed again for orders...

    Hi-Metal R

    technoblue replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Forget scale. If you have the room, it looks like this ginormous Monster could stand next to ANY Valkyrie (in fighter mode) and look good. *sigh* I wish I had the room... This is one I had to pass on.
  9. technoblue
    That may be true, but IMO having an ugly duckling mode for a Macross fighter is...

    You guys are probably right. My Apollyon had the orange caps, one which may have been for appearances only and the other which was a pain. I guess it is a small thing, considering. What's more important about any new Megs toy is that it is fun, no matter what it transforms into. I guess that means I'm in the moving on from Apollyon camp.

    I think something got lost in the English translation because all Delta box sets are being marketed as limited edition sets, no matter where I look. Here are the amazon.jp links for disc 2: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B01DLWCCTU/ref=s9_psimh_gw_g74_i7_r?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=AFBGYKG8B474ES99DRTM&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=3dc9a6a5-450d-481f-976b-206c611e21a8&pf_rd_i=desktop https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9%CE%94-Macross-Delta-%E7%89%B9%E8%A3%85%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%E7%89%88-Blu-ray/dp/B01DLWE6M6/ref=pd_cp_74_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6GQS6875BNHRPD2TAVBR Using the funky machine translator, I notice that amazon.jp is identifying the expensive disc as the "special equipment limited edition" which will get Japan residents the bonus A4-size artwork. The less expensive disc is the "limited edition" with no description of the special bonus artwork. And on the macross.jp site, there is even more detail, showing that different stores are receiving different bonus incentives. In other words, there are multiple special limited editions and local residents shopping at locations other than amazon.jp will get different Delta schwag depending on where they decide to buy their discs. http://macross.jp/delta/bluraydvd/

    Bold Forms does have a nice concept, an updated gun mode, and a tank mode, turning their Megatron into a triple changer. The strict US import rules on toy guns will make getting these new Megatrons...interesting. I do like what I've seen of the unconventional Stealth Bomber (IDW?) Megatron, though.
  13. technoblue
    MP Megatron Wars? It looks like DX9 fans might also have reason to rejoice: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/1079280-dx9-d09-mightron-mp-styled-megatron.html I like both MT and DX9's attempts at Megs more than Apollyon, but I'm leaning to MT looking at the pictures themselves.

    I'm willing to cut BW a break. It wasn't my favorite Transformers show or line of toys, but due to what it was, I was introduced to some interesting new characters like Dinobot, Black Arachnia, and Waspinator. The last two which would get reprisals in later series. Anywho... Edit: Oops, meant for the 3P thread.
  15. technoblue
    I think the only issue that bugged me with Iron Will were the tabs on his headmaster. MT noted that these were mistakenly cut off at the factory. With Cupola, I didn't like the ankle joints and the restricted motion in the legs for an MP-scale figure. That reminded of Code, and I am more forgiving of Code who is smaller (and was also released three years prior with a few repaints--Code:2012, Cupola:2015).
  16. technoblue
    Definitely. With the investment that Medicos has in the other lines, I'm also hopeful that we will get beyond team RWBY and see more of the characters in figure form.
  17. technoblue
    I noticed that some new RWBY figures from medicos snuck in under the radar, but I don't know how these compare to figmas or figuarts. Could be interesting and worth it for those looking to collect a smaller scale than the threezero figures...

    Is it time for Transformers with whiskers? Yes. Yes, I think it is. http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/07/23/masterpiece-cheetor-colored-images-320237 Whereas Primal had me feeling meh with the Beast Wars MPs, I think Cheetor is winning me over completely. Sometimes I find that all it takes is one figure to push me from "Hell no!" to "Why not?" But I didn't think I would cave this quickly. I wasn't one to stick with BW until the very end. Perhaps I should do like I did with Babylon 5 and revisit it? Anyway, I can't wait to see what else Takara has in store for this line. (All credit goes to TFW2005 for both the link and the preview image.) Edit: To add more rambling.

    Do you mean the piece that covers the wings on the back of the Valkyrie? That piece is there.
  20. technoblue
    I like the designs for these kit ships, but I lack the modeling skill to really make them pop. Oh well.
  21. technoblue
    According to an article in Variety magazine, the Duffer brothers would like to do more. The link is in between a spoiler tag since the article talks about the end of the first season, and hints at the why of a few things...
  22. technoblue
    Check out the first post. : ) The set I received from cdjapan this weekend is exactly the same as the amazon.jp sample images posted by UN Spacy. You get the box for the first three discs, the first blu-ray in a special slip case, a digipak-style case for the BD with a cover featuring Hayate Immelman, and an art booklet.
  23. technoblue
    No hate intended at all. I don't get the sensitivity myself, although I admit more Art Deco Sci-Fi is not something that I was expecting (or asking for). I'm curious about the reason behind the radical update.
  24. technoblue
    If I remember correctly, the newbie thread only mentions bootlegs of the 1/55-scale Valkyries. As to why the stickers are missing, the 1/60 v2 M&Ms are almost seven years old. Even if these are new (old stock), then I think the boxes are probably just worn from storage. I wouldn't worry about the missing Macross/Big West stickers if the contents are in good condition and you have all the parts.
  25. technoblue
    That first look didn't sell me on this at all.
