Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 that was 9:30 am it's a bit too late to post Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 No it wasn't. It was up for a good 20-30 min when I posted. It's going to come up and down just like with soundwave. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Ah Grimlock, still causing mini-drama on the boards... I really should look at getting some Masterpiece Decepticons, I sold my 1st Edition Starscream and non-orange plug Megatron years ago. But I think I may get a Soundwave to get things started again. -b. Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Soundblaster is still in stock some places. Might be worth checking out. Quote

Gakken85 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I'm at work. I wasn't going to buy one so I didn't try. Just trying to help you bozos Looks like the site is down now. Edited June 10, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote

LOL That's where I used to do most of my damage, my thinking being, I'm here earning dollars to spend on toys. I would actually do the math for how many hours I'd have to work to fund a purchase! -b.

slaginpit Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I'm sorry, slaginpit. Almost every repaint I've seen has those parts in silver. My comments weren't meant to be a criticism of yours specifically or even the quality of any of those repaints in general. Primus knows I've got precious little talent for repainting, and what you've done is certain to look better than mine when I'm finished. Just a general comment that I don't get why everyone but me wants to paint that bit silver. No worries Are you using Brush or AirBrush on yours? Quote
mikeszekely Posted June 10, 2014 Author Posted June 10, 2014 No worries Are you using Brush or AirBrush on yours? A very fine brush. I don't do a lot of repainting, but some of the newer Transformers are really lacking in that department. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Oh that's never a good slope to slip on Slip? I ride that slope all the way down! Found my way into another Toys R Us this evening, nothing new to report other than that there were noticeably less Age of Extinction toys on the shelf and only 1 or 2 Evasion Primes left. -b. Quote
Uxi Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Meh, still can't fnid one. Might have to start considering paying the evilbay premium. Quote

David Hingtgen Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Pics from the Tokyo Toy Show are starting to come out. There should be much better ones in the next 12-24 hours, but here's the best one so far of MP UM: Quote
mikeszekely Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 He looks really squat. I hope he's mistransformed or that's just a really unflattering angle, but I'm not liking what I see in that picture. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Pics from the Tokyo Toy Show are starting to come out. There should be much better ones in the next 12-24 hours, but here's the best one so far of MP UM: Rattrap looks good. Oh look, they're re-releasing Optimus Primal again. Guess they can't improve on a perfect mode. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Rattrap looks good. Oh look, they're re-releasing Optimus Primal again. Guess they can't improve on a perfect mode. It's a better toy than basically everything on the shelves right now. I should go see if I still have mine. Quote
Scyla Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Pics from the Tokyo Toy Show are starting to come out. There should be much better ones in the next 12-24 hours, but here's the best one so far of MP UM: *snip* Red inner legs???? *flips table* *sigh* That pronounces the gaps in the lower legs even more with three colors there. At least the thighs are white but with the lower legs in red it even looks more inconsistence to me. Oh well, I have no hopes in improvements from Takara but lets see what comes out of it in the next month. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 He looks really squat. I hope he's mistransformed or that's just a really unflattering angle, Both, actually. Even alt-mode is mistransformed, and that's really something. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 MP-22 Ultra Magnus is back up on HLJ (it may have come up and down a couple of times, don't recall). http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT80320/Sci Let me know once we start complaining about the hue of red or blue on the prototype pics. -b. Quote

Ok, I'll start with, he's a little chubby, but that's alright, but that red inner leg gotta go! Quote
Gakken85 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 They'll be more if I cancel mine. He looks like a big pile of lame. And he'll take up a lot of display room... Quote
Hikuro Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Display events are notorious for mistransformed figures cause its made in a rush. I'm expecting him to be larger than most MPs just for the simple fact he's body armor albino optimus prime. Edited June 12, 2014 by Hikuro Quote
eriku Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I think UM looks fine, but my biggest 'problem' is that I've never really taken a shine to G1 Magnus in general. I even had the toy when I was a kid but, oddly, feel no nostalgia toward it. Part of that may be because the thing I wanted most of all back then was an Optimus Prime but I never got one so Magnus was always just a poor white version of what I really wanted. I'm tempted to get one though because MPs almost always turn out to be good toys, but at the same time I just have to weigh how much I really need to see a G1 style UM on my shelf, and at the moment I can think of a lot of other things I'd rather spend the money on.

Gakken85 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I'm with you Eriku... never was a big UM fan. I thought he was a bit of a douche bag in the show/movie too haha. Just trying to decide if its worth keeping at the cheap HLJ price, or putting that money into something else like Utopia haha Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 One the plus side, there's no butt flap! Quote
