    As long as the Roy version had skulls on the tailfins i would buy a couple. That would look so awesome.

    I think I'm going to take the plunge with Citizen Stack. I'm liking the look of that one. Would've got Kronos but it's been getting too many bad reviews. I would like to get a decent Rodimus but there doesn't seem to be one. Not digging the masterpiece version.

    I've been checking out TF toy sites all day. I have to say i'm pretty impressed with some of the stuff that has come out over the years since i quit collecting TFs. I'm liking a lot of the 3rd party stuff. Is Robot Kingdom a good place to order from? They seem a bit cheaper than BBTS and TFSource.

    Hasn't it been 18 000 all week?

    Up again at Nippon-Yassen with some mark up.

    That was awesome. I'd watch this over the LA movies any day.

    How do you guys navigate to that page. I'm only able to find it when i copy the direct link directly into the address bar.

    Thanks for the info guys. It helped alot. I preordered the Hasbro MP Prime reissue. Still thinking about the Jetfire. These preorders don't seem as crazy as bandais which gives me some breathing room to decide.

    Hey Guys. I've been out of the TF collecting game for a while (Macross has been keeping me busy). But I've always wanted a Masterpiece Prime. While web surfing today i came across MP Prime at BBTS. I almost instabuyed but i stopped myself. I figured it's be smart to shop around a bit and maybe get a better price. I quickly got overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. I was wondering you guys could help me decide. So this is the one i was looking at: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11952&mode=retail&utm_source=retail_news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BigBadToyStore-Retail&utm_content= What is the best store to preorder it? I live in Canada so i'm not sure if TFSource's free shipping deal applies to me. After looking around online a bit i notice that the takara one has a better color scheme but i guess that one is not getting reissued? I also came across this: http://www.tf-direct.com/store/masterpiece-mp-10-optimus-prime-ko-ver-2nd-run-preorder My first thought was to avoid this even though it's cheaper but i've been hearing some good things. Since you guys are the experts, i'd like to hear what you guys think. Then of course i saw this: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=jetfire Jetfire has been one of my favorite TFs (being a Macross fan i can't understand why ). I'm guessing the top two entries are the same toy but released in different counties (Japan and US). The US version is cheaper but which is the better one to have quality wise? If macross valks haven't been draining my wallet this year i'd just buy both of them and be done with it but i have to be a little more choosy this year.Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    HG should just sell robotech to Saban. It's right up his alley. I'm confused by this alpha fighter with macross style super parts. I tried skimming through Shadow Chronicles to try and get a look at it but couldn't find it. Didn't the alphas just use betas? Even tried googling this alpha with super parts but didn't get any results

    I don't understand why the supers aren't included with valk. They spend close to the whole show wearing them. The only exception would be Ozmas. That one should come with the armoured pack.
  12. Sandman
    CDJapan actually has higher than normal shipping. With a couple of valks i ordered from them, i was charged $60 EMS each.
  13. Sandman
    Finally got mine. I'm having the droopy wings problem. Am i going to have to worry about the wings underneath getting bent down?
  14. Sandman
    CDjapan did a weird thing. I got cart jacked but when i reloaded the product page the add to cart button was still active. I tried again to no avail.
  15. Sandman
    Yup. Actually had one in my cart before getting cart jacked.
  16. Sandman
    OMG WOW! I actually got one from Amiami. I've never been able to get one before. With this i'm done with the preorder shenanigans... until the next macross series.
  17. Sandman
    The 1J's head looks goofy in that screenshot.
  18. Sandman
    Arcadia's stand will probably be priced something ridiculous. I dont really want to pay a high price for a stand. Rather use that money for a valk.
  19. Sandman
    I'm afraid to ask how much is it? I'll probably get it as the amour set was one of the few yamato products that i didn't get. So i guess thats it for reissues for 2014? Dissapointing. I was hoping for max and mirya 1Js (the other yamato valks that i didnt get) before the end of the year.
  20. Sandman
    It's too bad. Bandai is basically throwing money away by not reissuing. I don't even know why they makes the supers web exclusives. Can you imagine if Yamato had did the same for the VF-1?
  21. Sandman
    Doesn't help me now since i got my set after ADV was gone.
  22. Sandman
    So they are releasing the orginal macross/SC/Mospeada with this new robotech boxset? Hopefully the subtitles will work for the Southern Cross set this time.
  23. Sandman
    I wasn't aware of that remastered video of Seikan Hikou. Where's it from? A Blu-ray extra?
  24. Sandman
    I wouldn't be surprised if it was close to two years.
  25. Sandman
    Yeah exactly. I not sure why people are assuming the price of the VF-1 was the cause of yamato demise. Personally I believe Bandai indirectly ran them out of business. Yamato was fine until Bandai started selling balls people wanted to buy. Because they limited stock people had to get their releases right at preorder time or else not get one. This put fans in the position of getting the Bandai's valks right away and waiting later for Yamato valks since they would still be available months after release. This led to people waiting for the yamatos to go on clearance. This also coincided with Yamato starting to release valks in the upper 200, lower 300 price range (VF-19, VF-17). This encouraged waiting for clearance sales. Read the threads back then. Every second post would be mentioning holding off buying until a clearance sale. There's probably more to it as well but I don't buy that the VF-1 was being sold too cheap.
