Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) lol, i was such a flaky collector with a short attention span. the technobots i had scattershot for my bday and committed to collecting strafe and lightspeed afterburner. then i would move onto the new stuff that just came out like headmasters and never would complete a combiner. the only set i ever completed was devastator... i wanted jetfire so bad as i kid, i waited months for him and finally when christmas arrives my dad took my butt to the store to get him and i saw the Devastator giftset and flaked out on jetfire... Be grateful you got that many. I had Aerialbot legs and Stunticon arms on Scattershot to make Whatthefrackitron. These MP toys are awesome can't wait for optimus to show up.

jenius Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 I am so sad going through the box of transformers I was able to get from my parents and realizing all the ones that didn't make it. I wonder if there's another box somewhere. I know I had the Technobots and the aerialbots but there's only one of each in the box. Oh well, Bruticus was my favorite and he's there. Gakken, where/when is that quote from? Quote
GU-11 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 you must've had strict parents... jk, i only kid bc my father was very strict and cut off the tv in the house. i only got transformers 2x a year. one for my b day and once for Christmas so i had to make it count. so my deprived childhood is showing up w these mp toys just curious why no more than one g1? Basically the same reason as yours. Super-strict parents. They got me Mirage because I did pretty well in an exam. The next time I scored such good results, TF was a distant memory, and M.A.S.K. had become the "in" thing. Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Hasui interview from a few months back. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/takaratomy-staff-interview-masterpiece-174660/ I was thinking about it wrong but yeah.. Rodimus and Grimlock are in scale. They made MP-10 to be the new standard, but also to be in scale to some of the later mps. Means there is less of a chance they will get re-issued any time soon.

skullmilitia Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Looks like I'll get my MP Soundawave tomorrow, snagging it for 119.99$ with free shipping was hard To pass on. Plus I'll finally get to pose Frenzy in the "no one calls Soundwave un-charismatic!" Quote
technoblue Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Well, I was bit by the Takara bug. All the hype over the new MP-10 release finally got to me and I have boxed up my Hasbro Masterpiece MP-10 to sell it and make room for the other one. Ironically, I placed my pre-order about a week ago and the figure is shipping out today. Has anyone else received an update on their pre-order for MP-10 plus stand? You know, I never thought a Transformer would compete with a Yarcadia Valkyrie on mere dollars and cents, but there it is. There was enough to like about new MP-10 for me to go for it. At least, that's what I'm telling myself. Quote

technoblue Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Mine is sitting at my feet. Very cool. Will there be pics or is it staying in the box? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 the only set i ever completed was devastator... i wanted jetfire so bad as i kid, i waited months for him and finally when christmas arrives my dad took my butt to the store to get him and i saw the Devastator giftset and flaked out on jetfire.... Devastator seemed to be the only "common" giftset. While most did exist, I only ever seemed to see that one, I think that's fairly universally true. Quote
RD Blade Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 That's true here as well. Other than Devastator, I never saw any giftsets before the internet existed. Quote

David (Moderator), are you getting any of the MP's coming out? You joining the MP-10 re-release party Quote
jenius Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Very cool. Will there be pics or is it staying in the box? I'll probably hold off for now and do an MP-10 Mega Review like I did for MP-11 when they release the next MP-10 mold (allegedly) next year. Quote
Kurisama Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 What? Releasing again next year? I paid inflated pieces for nothing? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) What? Releasing again next year? I paid inflated pieces for nothing? i think jenius may be referring the the YOTH (year of the horse release) which may be a re-release version of the TRU release. (not the takara colors which imo is the best version and why i'm willing to pay for it) http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/949863-platinum-edition-year-horse-optimus-preorder-tru-ca-18.html Edited September 24, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I got Soundwave in today. I can feel that poor Hasbro quality looseness ness right away. Still can't complain because of the cassettes. Even made a quick Dio "The interrogation of Tiger Tracks" Rumble ... Frenzy.. Rumble whatever! "The bigger they are, the harder the fall!" TT just waiting on Prowl for the rescue. Heh heh TT. Quote
mikeszekely Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Rumble ... Frenzy.. Rumble whatever! "The bigger they are, the harder the fall!" The correct answer is Frenzy. Yes, the black and red toy was labeled Rumble, and yes, many modern toys (including Habsros) depicting this character are also labeled Rumble. But half the time, new toys of the blue one is labeled Rumble, and while it technically might have been the result of a production error, 2+ seasons of the cartoon featuring a blue tap-bot named Rumble as a main character has cemented that as canon for me.

Gakken85 Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Cool setup Skullmilitia. Poor TT is going to loose his robo privates! hahaha Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Thanks! It's actually a future Macross Hanger, but it's strangely also pretty decent For a TF background. Robots fit anywhere! Quote

jenius Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) So the display stand that comes with MP-10 isn't in the box, it's something that you get in addition to the box (that is to say, you get two separate boxes). I was sort of surprised by that and find it kinda lame although I guess it makes sense. Robotkingdom threw in the coin too but I think all of these come with the coin. This is the first TF I've gotten with the coin... not sure if I'm wowed enough to want to start collecting the coins now. Edited September 26, 2013 by jenius Quote
Gakken85 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 I've got the Lambor coin, but I'm not that interested in them. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Damn i'm so jealous... when will TF source ship theirs Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Gah I finally got around to moving Soundwave and his minions and yet again.. Why do I get sucked into the Hasbro versions. Stupid flimsy, cheap feeling, floppy crap! The Takara version feels like money well spent. The Hasbro version feels like I spent 130$ on a Weaponizer figure with a few legacy figures. Boo! I canceled my MP-10 renewal order. There's just not enough there to justify 300$ I've had both the Hasbro and the Tak versions I just don't see 300$ worth of space taking. Quote

skullmilitia Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Yea, it'd be nice if Prowl would come in to stock already. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Yea, it'd be nice if Prowl would come in to stock already. it looks like the re-opened window closed quick, prowl must be popular. did you secure a pre-order of him somewhere? Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 I got all the Datsun brothers preorder months ago from NY. MP Prowl should be release on the 28th of this month. Quote
skullmilitia Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 I've had prowl on PO from HLJ since like May or June. Starting to feel like a BBTS preorder 8 month window lol. Quote
