    and I think megatron makes a human friend or some BS thing like that....I dunno, Earthspark is weird and is a lil woke for me so I don't really care to watch it, plus I'm not keen on the character designs and animation, sorta why I don't even bother with RID, not into the look. I managed to score SS86 Optimus yesterday, pretty smart engineering on this figure! Sure, I don't like the kibble compressing backpack at all, but at least he's not flat and bare backed like other figures tend to make him. I think my only complaint is that the trailer hitch is terrible! It's really loose in comparison to the ER version maybe, it's been years since I even transformed that particular figure so I can't really recall, but I just know I don't like how it feels. And rather bummed out again on the trailer just being molded plastic and no color separation or neat panel details and colors inside when you tear it open into the repair bay. I would have liked something to go with it for all that money.

    I just got back a bit ago from Toydojo, I was able to get 90% of what I was looking for but sadly they didn't have Gears at the store and didn't wanna go to the warehouse to grab him despite making such a big purchase lol, oh well. I did as I said, get Stellarus, owner said that since the unveiling of Star OP and having Stellarus $20 off he's been seeing an uptick on it selling. My copy is incredibly stiff, gun turrets, head, appendages, the works, stiff, I didn't have the leg compression issue, yet, it's certainly sensitive, but he held together quite fine while fiddling and getting him to pose and he came with the lock-in parts if it does happen. Iwish there was more to this figure than just his ion cannon.....either a mini Rodimus or the Zodiac orb, SOMETHING.

    From what I've seen is that it's shipped in multiple boxes for assembly. It resembles to much to me of the FOC Metroplex to make the cost worth it when I already have a FOC Metroplex. Just because you slap a crap ton of cannons on it and make it 4 feet tall doesn't constitute it as being cool and a must have. Not to mention I can't justify the price tag on this thing, way to expensive and could use a lot more color separation.

    heading to a shop out of town tomorrow, decided I'm going to pickup Stellarus, the stock the shop I'm going too has the fixed qc issues so they say, and I'd rather have that than the titan class Star OP. Maybe find some other stuff but not sure exactly what yet....this shop tends to stock more 3rd party figures than anything.

    yeah, it was a music video.

    I still got my FOC Metroplex, the first Titan class 😛 I don't think I've transformed him in a decade!

    no motors. I don't even think they do motors anymore on any of the modern takes.

    okay hold on, when I was on there yesterday there was no facial hair nor mipsy!

    I'm a lil bummed out by a Trypticon re-release considering I bought him I think last year at a slightly inflated price at a game store that someone traded him for probably a copy of COD. I mean I got him after years of putting him aside so really I got no interest in a color accurate release. As for Devastator being showed off, I do have one lil thing I wish they would include with these and that's an alternate faceplate seeing how he's been depicted famously with both a pair of eyes and a solid visor.
  10. Hikuro
    hm, no facial hair though on the options, that sorta stinks.

    That's pretty cool, I never would have thought the CRT's got that big unless it was just some gimmick thing. I don't even remember what my biggest CRT was growing up, but it had to be in the 30's range. I DO remember my last CRT was a Toshiba VHS/DVD combo 20''. We gave it away to a gal who was moving into a new home after her previous had burned down. SADLY the night she was heading home with said TV, she got into a wreck and the TV was destroyed.

    Just got home a little bit ago and had a little time to digest it.

    Early numbers are in as kids are getting off of school early and parents take them to the theater for the holiday season! it looks like I gotta eat my words from November as critic scores sit at 85% but early audience reactions are at 98%, already planning to kick the snot out of disneys unnecessary prequel, Mufasa, and maybe size up Wicked and Moana 2. I got my ticket for tomorrow at 8:30 am lol!

    Amazon has them available for pre-order, Aerialbots, & G2 Grimlock are locked in, at least they're spread out by a month since it's a good 200 bucks. But I'll skip on Star Optimus, I was kind of setting myself up at some point to get Super Megatron and since those two are apart of the same storyline if I remember right, I would rather get Stellarus in the next few months then Super Megatron to be a good pair. There's something about this TItan class version that doesn't set well with me, I know he's supposed to be a big robot now at this point, it's maybe the vehicle mode looking so stiff, or how terribly hollow and bland his base mode is or how chunky he looks in robot mode, I dunno maybe all three. But I just can't do it!
  15. Hikuro
    Aerialbots will be a buy, even if I'm not exactly happy with the design, they ARE in a sense G1 accurate I suppose which is kind of odd to me. I'm still debating if I even want Star Convoy....I don't really have room for ANOTHER Titan class figure, and I don't exactly like the way he looks. To me, Stellarus looks a lot better than this.

    Pretty disappointed truthfully. We keep going back into competition battles for no reason which result in sloppy story telling. And bad character development. we haven’t had like a legit war story of a tv series since I think Age and that was 2011.

    Here’s my thing, Keanu, good actor on screen. Flat when he’s doing voice over. I’m sure that was just a promo piece he had to do but even when he did cyberpunk I thought he was sorta just dull. hope I’m wrong in the end though! I’m still looking forward to it and hope it’s better than Sonic 2. That was an ok movie but not as fun as the first was for me.

    Yeah he’s just buying for the sake of playing, I’m sort of in the fence, I buy for the sake of collecting and playing but I do have a threshold where paying 200+ a cartridge is highway robbery for a used game. i sometimes have a hard enough time justifying 40+ for some old games as well but it really just depends how nostalgic I am for them. i don’t enjoy playing emulators on my computer like I did when I was in my early 20s soooooo long ago. But for a flash cartridge that’ll basically hold all my games, and play it on the preferred console, that’s a compromise I’m willing to make. His repros are supposed to show up today along with MMPR the movie for the sega gen I ordered, so as his Christmas present is making his a pokeball container that’ll hold all those repro units.

    Question for ya guys. Buddy of mine has been getting into retro collecting, and he recently was on walmart coming across the GBA Pokemon games at 5 bucks a pop so he bought all 5 at $28. Course he didn't realize they're reproduction cartridges. Anyone had any experience with such things and hopefully NOT had back experiences? I'd feel bad for him wasting 28 bucks on games that are gonna be terrible. I've actually been looking at getting the EZ-Flash GBA cartridge and just inputing a bunch of roms onto that since there's no way in hell I'm paying 170 bucks for a pokemon game. Has anyone had experience with the EZ-Flash before?

    I just got myself one of those Galaxy Version Blockees at Walmart an hour ago, according to their box these are the chances of having a specific character: Optimus: 1 in 12 Jazz/Ironhide/Ratchet/Prowl/Bluestreak/Megatron/Skywarp/Thundercracker: 1 in 9 Optimus Prime Secret: 1/36 This is kind of tricky cause it doesn't mean in a case sent out or anything like that, it means that every 9-12 or 36 figures produced in the line there is at least 1 of those characters. Now i'm not good with the odds or the math behind it, but you could end up spending quite a bit of money to complete an entire lineup let alone get the special figure which seems to be a different color Optimus with lots of highlights and comes with his energon axe. I cracked mine open and built it pretty quickly and I got Ratchet, which honestly disappointed me a bit, I really want Prowl or Bluestreak since I collect a lot of Nissan Z stuff and wouldn't mind having one of these in my 370Z like when I had a yellow Sentra SERSpecV I had one of those little bumper transforming Bumblebees. Honestly the price though isn't bad, these things are under 5 bucks a pop and fairly decent in size. I might take these little guys as part of my work desk display.

    after the first movie, you better hope those are nothing but pipes!

    I dunno, I've always seen the Predator as neither a bad guy or a good guy type of a character, it's just a hunter. That's what they are, they hunt for stronger prey. I'm willing to at least wait for a trailer and see how it goes since hollywood always unveils way to much and spoils the crap out of a movie. After that, guess kind of go from there.
  23. Hikuro
    considering I don't own one, I'd probably be willing to pick one up. Don't really have much in terms of 3rd party MP figures, they're really expensive and with so many variations and options out there I always have a hard time figuring out what I want. I mean I am pretty satisfied with my MMC Mirage but the Cliffjumper version, not so much, I mean it's okay it works well with the Bumeblebee 1.0 I got so I can't really complain. Still though those prices are tough.

    Hasbro: Hey there fans! Do you like Optimus Prime?! Us: YEAH! Hasbro: Do you like Studio Series?! Us: YEAH! Hasbro: Do you.....LIKE DEVASTATION?! Us: OH YEAH! Hasbro: *plops down toy* Us:.............The hell is this?

    This is what happens when you keep giving Teen Titans Go attention after the original series is canceled. You get junk like this. Another easy pass for me.
