technoblue Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 The G1 face pops off to give you the surprise mustache face. I guess one could go without ever seeing Jackie's mustache face. Quote
RD Blade Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I can't unsee it!Finished Sunstreaker today. Strange thing about the yellow paint is that it's a little darker when applied to a plastic surface vs. a metal one. Oh well. The black intakes and roof panel were originally stickers. Now they're painted on. Edited September 21, 2014 by RD Blade Quote
Renato Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I got Wheeljack yesterday and he is fantastic. There are some really cool engineering marvels happening at almost every stage of transformation. This MP car line is totally blowing everything else out of the water. Binal-what? Quote

Gakken85 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I forgot to pay my HLJ shipping until today. Probably won't see wheeljack for a few days haha Translation 01 : "It was also a tweet information station, but to the MP Star Saber, as a bonus part, Saber blade small also included. Blade of the saber blade of small, Yes you have to like can be accommodated in the upper part of the V-Star in blade similar to normal. "Source: https://twitter.com/TFYUKI/status/51...326848/photo/1Translation 02 : "Storage of the blade of the saber blade is a Good point of Kunihiro, who developed the original question, this time, we have added the opening and closing of the lid in order to match the image of anime more"Source: https://twitter.com/TFYUKI/status/513632118291714048Translation 03 : "Also housed part of the blade of a small blade, make sure to Kunihiro said, so did it with is a part was not even going to put something gimmick, especially in the original question, this time, the storage space for the blade, MP I have been designed as a gimmick of the original."Source: https://twitter.com/TFYUKI/status/513633318013636610 Edited September 21, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
Scyla Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 So both swords will be included in the base package? No Amazon exclusive parts? If so great news. Come on Takara announce the black e-hobby exclusive already. The yellow paint is much too garish. Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Can't tell if the swords are reflective.. or just metallic. Looks well painted though. Quote
Froy Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 This is now "order stop" at HLJ and for 18,000 yen. I pre ordered from HLJ a few weeks ago for 14,400 yen. Is this usual? Quote
technoblue Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I think HLJ is just showing the MSRP now that pre-orders are full. Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 When they stop taking orders it goes back to the normal price, If it opens up again it will be with the discount. Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Apparently UM and SS are going to have fairly significant amounts of diecast per yuki. Looks like the feet are going to be diecast. Wow. Totally going to be the best MP ever made, in terms of options, features, size, and detail. Edited September 23, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote

Gakken85 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Yeah he's sold out at HLJ already. UM still comes back into stock from time to time. Quote
mikeszekely Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 Glad you're excited, Gak, but there's nothing there that's piquing my interest. Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Hey, I'm always excited. High on life. Quote
jenius Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 After six hours of being excited you should see a doctor... I learned that from a Cialis commercial. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Seeing all the attention to playabiility n star saber is a bittersweet. its frustrating because they obviously didn't spend 1/2 as much effort on magnus, but i guess it makes for a cooler SS toy. i don't have any nostalgia for it, though ti does remind me of a lot of other 80s style mecha (mostly pre TF believe it or not). Quote
Scyla Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I hope Takara invests in some paint for the details inside Star Sabers shoulders. Quote
vlenhoff Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Oh Exhaust reminds me of Ayrton Senna's F1 car <3 i had to order it, i just had to. (about a month ago) Edited September 24, 2014 by vlenhoff Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 nothing interesting... didn't grow up with the Jyp cartoon. so i can't be take on nostalgia. wheeljack should be coming in this wed. Quote
Kurisama Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Got WJ yesterday - nice and elegant design, not as good articulation as say, Prowl - but dat ALT mode... Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 My Wheeljack(s) shall stay in my Private Warehouse at HLJ. I'm in no rush to have another Masterpiece Transformer, or two, sit in their boxes in my "toy" closet. -b. Quote

I'm in no rush to have another Masterpiece Transformer, or two, sit in their boxes in my "toy" closet. -b. Same here. I'll ship it after UM and Star Saber are ready to go. Here's my latest custom. It was Thor / A-10 Warthog, now it's Cobra Commander / Rattler. Still can't transform it due to the paint / clear coat not being ready. I'll probably add more stickers to the plane mode.

vlenhoff Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) HLJ's Private Warehouse FTW. IIRC it was BBTS who came up with this concept, and I am glad other companies are doing the same. With that said, BBTS once kept my "Pile of Loot"for over a year!. My pile of loot was so big as well as my smile. Unfortunately HLJ will keep my PrivateWarehouse for only 60 days [as corrected by Dobber & Gakken86] Anyway, i am glad I at least saved some money on shipping, but I want to play with Wheel Jack right now... Thanks Dobber and Gakken85, I am sorry, i have a lot of things in my mind... i have no idea why I typed 6 months. Edited September 24, 2014 by vlenhoff Quote
Dobber Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Unfortunately HLJ will keep my PrivateWarehouse for only 6 months... Be careful, they only hold things in your private warehouse for 60 DAYS at HLJ, not 6 months. Chris Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 yeah They force you to ship after 2 months. Quote
RD Blade Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I definitely miscalculated, in that case. I'll only be able to wait for Bee...maybe Magnus, if I'm lucky. Quote
xrentonx Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 What's this "Exhaust" nonsense? My mind-fanon has dubbed him Cowboy Killer WheelJack...much cooler name! Quote
RD Blade Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 OK, Toys R Us really has to get their act together with online orders. I've ordered from them perhaps five times in as many years and they screwed up two of those. Shitty track record. I got an email from them yesterday telling me that they were cancelling my pre-order for Jetfire. So I went ahead and pre-ordered it elsewhere. Today I get an email from TRU. You guessed it..."Your item has shipped!" Eff you, Toys R Us. If the other store had Jetfire in stock, I would be out $50. Quote
JET7 Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) painting the top square of the head to silver makes him a lot g1 lookin..waiting for third parties to make a g1 booster pack,arms & legs/gun/open space leg covers.. Edited September 26, 2014 by JET7 Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Space Saber, errr, Star Brick, whatever is back up for pre-order on AmiAmi; http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-007801&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_seriestitle%3DTransformers+Masterpiece%24pagemax%3D20%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 -b.
