Jedi.........just waiting for my anakin glove to come in (should be today if they sent it on monday) and I'll be pretty much set.

He truely does look fantastic in his own little way. I'd probably would like to see an F-22 version like in theh IDW comics...but I really can't wait to get mine from Tam in the next week or two.

I'll have to get one to truely complete my Jedi wears, but I can wait till November or even later to do it since it only takes 2 weeks.

I bet those wings of his are a pain in the ass for his body to properly move around and pose....they're probably really heavy.

Well I think in the scriptures it talks about 12 Apostles, but there was supposively a 13th......and he's right, the translation is loose it should be Apostles and not angels...which is a rather intriguing way of looking at this really, the story starts to make alot more sense now......however you still have Adam, Lilith and Eve who were the original human beings who are now mixed as Apostles "angels" and I think the 12 names of the Angels are the original names of the 12 Apostles....

Just got back from Washington today and was seein a friend on my return and he let me borrow his Classic Prime to see if it's something I really wanna get and I must say he's rather nifty. I was originally a bit iffy on the headsculpt mostly due to the fact his "ears" slant, and wasn't sure on the detail but I actually like this new head sculpt more then I like Alt Primes. He is a rather intertesting Prime figure, at first he looked a bit childish like a preschool toy, but I'm easily growing attatched to him and might hide it from my buddy and never give it back Articulation is great, posability is rather good, he's got a great center of gravity and he's not at all heavy in any odd place. The transformation can get a tad confusing at first but easy to get use too after a few attempts then becomes second nature. I wish his smoke stacks/gun barrel, were a bit better, it looks good from behind in vehicle mode but when looking at it from the front it's a tad dissapointing they didn't try to make it the same color atleast......his Ion cannon is rather cool too, also the fact he has a third weapon when turning the Ion cannon 180 on his back, and putting his smoke stacks on the holes on the bottom of the ion cannon and he's got shoulder mounted cannons. I'm really interested to see how the second wave is gonna turn out.

I got lots of lil stuff to get rid of adhesive...but the easiest is a cloth, some window cleaner and if you got it a lil razor blade and delicate handling so you don't scratch the chrome.

I only got to see up to when the kids just challenged the guy after 7 and a half weeks of killing boars to level up....I really haven't laughed my ass off that hard on South Park since season 1. I'll have to find that episode again so I could see the second half, but maaaaaaaaannnnn, I'm lucky I never turned into anything like that since I played the game for like a month straight.

Yeah pretty much, I just wet one half of a piece of cloth then use the dry side to clean it up, you don't wanna get those suckers wet that's for damn sure.

Well so far FRY's is still the only place to have the Classics line, but I'm still not gonna buy Op and Meg till November....gotta save up some cash.

To bad you and I don't live closer Chowser, I know kids would just be livin it up seeing an Obi-wan and Anakin costumed starwars geeks duking it out I remember last year I had a cheapo Jedi costume and kids wer ejust in awe, mostly due to the Anakin saber....this year though I hope to see alot more.

That would be Anakin's ROTS FX saber...got it a year ago on my b-day, and yes that was taken in normal lighting conditions....no flash what so ever. If you I used the flash you wouldn't see the light at all, wlel it'd look REAL pale. I'm gonna make a few more alterations to the costume...the sleeves are way to long as you see in the final picture....so I think I'm going to cut atleast 3-4 inches off both sleeves.

F that image up there I'm taking it down, I took a few better pictures this morning.

Which is probably why he looks so cheap looking...

if I could take one at of the box from there and feel it I'd probably change my opinion, but from what I was looking at based off the color coating and close look, he diffenetly looked like he's got more plastic then he does diecast in my opinion. Maybe it's just how they dressed him up that he looks plastic.......the Hasbro version I got from 2004 is more "glossy" like.

It's not really Light Saber related, but my Anakin Costume came in, man I really don't have the body for a jedi, but I got lots of time to loose a lil weight before Halloween if I'm careful. The guy who makes these "Replica's" is all the way out in Singapore, for costumebay.com The price was a bit much but if you really wanna look like a Starwars nuts then money really isn't any object....the big bang of the price came from the boots, those were really damn spendy but nice! However I do think the overal costume could of been better developed instead of using Buttons and loops to put things together, they could of used buckles or velcro to get a better fit. Not too mention the belt itself over the sash really doesn't fit at all once you get all that crap on...so I'm gonna have to punch a few holes to get it to fit better into place. Not too mention since I got time I'm going to make a few secure alterations so the costume doesn't fall apart from bending around. However I'm still getting use to putting the outfit on so this picture isn't perfect since it doesn't have the belt. The outfit uses an undershirt which buttons at an angle from the chest down to the right arm. Then covered up by a tubard which could really use a button to help secure into place since you'll have to mess with the sash/belt which will undo the tubard. What I did for cheap tricks was take my dress belt and put it over to secure it. Now the two black sashes over the shoulders are fake leather with padding inside with a loop to be securely inplace over the tubard. Then the sash over the stomach, then the belt. Pants of course, and then the boots which I find sooooooo cool, the boots zip from the front and covered up by the "shield" and then straps which velcro over.......they fit very comfortably. Once I make the alterations lil by lil next week, and loose a lil weight (good 5-10 pounds) I'll really be styling. The only thing I haven't tried was the traditional Jedi Robe...but I will soon. yeeessss.

Well what I saw was diffenetly plastic, right down to the smoke stacks.

yep Prime and Meg here at the FRY's in oregon is 24.99 each, and the Deluxe Figures are 12.99 each.....Wave 2 looks pretty nifty, but I wish they'd give Cliffjumper a different headsculpt and not just another repaint. But Wave 2 will be on my want list when they come out.

What pisses me off is the Hasbro version now released is entirely plastic with a Blue gun.....I just don't understand why they went that route when it really didn't even drop that far in price compared to when they first released the MasterPiece Prime back in 2004. Starscream will more likely become one of my favorite transformers.....I just wont see him till the end of october when I pay tam.

Yeah honestly the moment you saw LED lights start dying off buddy you should of sent a notice to Master Replica going "Hey! My stuffs crappin out watcha gonna do?!" Cause those lights should last for thousands of hours.

They've got Obi-wan and Maul at FRY's in oregon, and I finally got a costume going......hopefully I'll have picture for you guys soon, I think you'll all love it.

yeah....my hunch today was that stores in Washington and California were getting classics. and I remembered at the FRY's store I recently quit they were going to get the 20th AV Prime instock and had LOTS of the Starwars Transformers. So I checked it out, found 75 (yep I asked) Megatron and Optimus Prime Classics, about 10 20th AV Primes (HE'S ALL PLASTIC!! WTF?! WITH BROKEN SMOKESTACKS!) Then I saw 1 Astrotrain going "Dammit, that's all they got?!" So I looked around and in a shopping cart I saw a box FULL of Starscream, Rodimus, Bumblebee and Astrotrain figures and drove home since I live close by, grabbed a game, sold it, got the cash, and then paid for Rodimus. From what I understand the Classics line is really good. I really like the detail and revamped look on the toys.

Saw some transformers classics at FRY's in Wilsonville Oregon.....infact here's the recpiet. I had to trade in some games and had to spend a lil on my card to get Rodimus, but he's a pretty decent toy....honestly about the same as Cybertron Hotshot....hmmm I shall take comparison shots!

oh man I remember that fan project.......thought it looked like crap.....why dear lord WHY do a retelling of a robotech story to screw it up even more when your a fan?! ........gah!

I'd love to start collecting the classics line.....probably so I could start putting the Cybertron stuff away cause it clutters my room......but I wont be seeing any of the classics in oregon for probably sometime.....we tend to be VERY slow on the uptake.......I mean hell what it's been 3 months since Mirage and Prime were released or so? And I just NOW find mirage at a walmart?
