Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 An A for effort, but that's about it. It's pretty bad-bot mode looks like a cosplayer.

Negotiator Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 its prime's Halloween costume! Any is $55 for united 09 megatron fair?
Guest sh002 Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 i can't believe how cheap united voyager megatron was at amiami hopefully another company makes a better mp ultra magnus trailer armor hasbro should totally reissue gnaw and predaking. they both display well with classics/generations/universe figures
anime52k8 Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 its prime's Halloween costume! Any is $55 for united 09 megatron fair? Is silver paint and a japanese box worth an extra $35 to you?
Negotiator Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Is silver paint and a japanese box worth an extra $35 to you? Silver paint, maybe....ok not really. sadly they're sold out everywhere and I grabbed the last one from a dealer. Just need a manageable classic megatron since I have the mp one. Tho I don't even want to bother touching mp megs.
anime52k8 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Compared to eBay prices, $55 is a steal. ebay prices are utter bullshit. They're not worth a fraction what people are asking for them.
kaiotheforsaken Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) 55 for United Megatron is a good deal, especially when compared to Takara or even Hasbro's previous release of the mold. It's a solid opportunity for those who missed him entirely without getting the ebay shaft. That being said, I'm dreading the hunt for Warpath and what his ebay prices will look like. Edit: BBTS had more pre-orders open for Warpath by himself just after I posted this initially, so I just bit the bullet on their higher price. It's still likely to be cheaper than ebay or the gas I'll waste trying to find a store with him in stock. Edited March 20, 2011 by kaiotheforsaken
Guest sh002 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 is that 55 shipped? that's a good deal. mine came out to around 60 shipped and i'm planning on opening it. no regrets.

They do have him, wheeljack and thundercracker in a box of three for $55 shipped. More than I'd like to pay but better than nothing.
kaiotheforsaken Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I would've gone that route if I hadn't already bought the set with Thundercracker, Wheeljack, Kup and Scourge. It isn't my first choice, but it'll likely be the cheaper alternative as Warpath is the only new mold for this wave (I think anyways). That and my local stores have really awful selections most of the time. My Target has basically nothing current on the shelves, it's basically pegs full of Bumblebee, Skullgrin and one or two others.

kaiotheforsaken Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Just finished unboxing my Henkei Prime and I'm pretty floored. I know he's been out for a while, but I (for some reason) never picked up this mold and I'm so glad I finally did. He might be my favorite Prime figure to date (excluding MP Prime). Looking at my collection now, it's really awesome having so many classic characters represented especially Prime and Megatron, the later of which I had never owned a figure of ever.
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I get the same feeling when I tinker with Hound and Mirage as well. And it's pretty cool how my 10 yr. old nephew loves Henkei Hound. The TF shelves are barren over here. Even the peg warmers are gone. I have a sinking feeling that it's gonna get harder for me to find RTS Windcharger.
GU-11 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Dunno if this is old news, but the upcoming MP Convoy is reportedly the LAST reissue of the figure. Just preordered one from HLJ; missed it several times because I had to funnel all my "fig funds" to Macross VF's, back when Yamato was re/releasing VF's like there's no tomorrow.
areaseven Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Here are a couple of pictures showing the differences between four (not including the Trans-Scanning figure) movie Bumblebee figures. (from left) Hunt for the Decepticons Activators Bumblebee, Transformers Deluxe Class Bumblebee ver. 1.0, Hunt for the Decepticons Deluxe Class Battle Blade Bumblebee, Revenge of the Fallen Human Alliance Bumblebee with Sam Witwicky. Also pictured is the 2007 Trans-Scanning Bumblebee in Camaro mode, but it falls apart if you try to transform him. So for now, he's stuck in Camaro mode.
GU-11 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 In case anybody's curious, HLJ and AmiAmi's sold out [discontinued, in HLJ's case] of MP-01L Convoys. I just pre-ordered one yesterday, and got already got a "payment received" email this morning. That was fast. This thing's been selling like hotcakes, and they even "un-linked" the page from the search engine. BTW, HLJ works on Saturdays, now?
Wanzerfan Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I picked up RTS Jazz about a week ago, and he's just plain cool. Use the top joints for his knees, though, otherwise he looks just plain goofy. I can see why they mounted the speaker system on the windows instead of under the spoiler, looks cool when they're deployed in robot mode. Love the Porche Rally car mode.
Smut Peddler Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Anyone get the MPL-01 and figure out what the next masterpiece will be ?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Anyone get the MPL-01 and figure out what the next masterpiece will be ? Rumored to be an all new Optimus
David Hingtgen Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 As in, a new G1 Prime? That'd be a waste, unless they can make vehicle mode WAY better while keeping robot almost as good. An uber-awesome Movie Prime would be nice, though we've already got Buster Prime...
RD Blade Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 As in, a new G1 Prime? That'd be a wasteAgreed. Galvatron makes the most sense at this point.
GU-11 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Rumored to be an all new Optimus Really? The sound stage didn't reveal much of anything, just random voice clips that some said mentioned the names of Rodimus and Megatron. The words, "Last Shot" is etched onto the figure's back, which is visible during transformation and alt mode. Is that itself a clue, or just to differentiate this "final" release from the previous ones? In any case, if it really is a new Optimus, I hope its an updated design of G1, like in those IDW comics. Those looked cool.
Guest sh002 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 these days i'm over on the tfw2005 boards instead for transformers discussions.
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Jeebus, and I thought the Stampede Valkyrie was outrageous: Takara's Jetwing Prime. It uses Buster Prime as a base. This thing will be ginormous.
mikeszekely Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I'm finding it hard to get excited over any Dark of the Moon crap when the only Reveal the Shield figures I've found are Jazz and Tracks.
VF-19 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Got my hands on a second Wreck-Gar. Now I've got Wreck-Gar riding another Junkion, and it looks pretty good. He clips in neatly onto the seat of the second figure.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 As in, a new G1 Prime? That'd be a waste, unless they can make vehicle mode WAY better while keeping robot almost as good. An uber-awesome Movie Prime would be nice, though we've already got Buster Prime... From what I heard, yes a modernized g1 optimus. Hints on the mp-1L soundbase include clips of convoy saying he will be reborn.
kanedaestes Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 My only Prime figure as a kid, I both love and hated it. It was awesome for what it was but hated it because it didn't transform the way it should have to be prime.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I bet it's going to be MP powermaster Prime. Hmm I HOPE SO! Kind of makes sense..the body Ginrai got was meant for Optimus but Ginrai got it instead(forgot why but it's explained in the 1st episodes of Masterforce).
Jeremy007 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) that would be cool but IMO, that would not make sense. if the voice base hints at Convoy being Reborn, I dont think think the next masterpiece will be Super Ginrai. Convoy and Super Ginrai were two totally different characters. Star Convoy would be Convoy Reborn. A Masterpiece Star Convoy would rock. Edited April 6, 2011 by Jeremy007
