Mog Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 For those that have watched John Wick 3: 2 Dogs = 1 Wolf Or would you prefer: Duke: " You ain't got no problem, soldier. I'm on the mutha-effa'. Go back in there, chill them Cobras out, and wait for the Wolf who should be coming directly."
Slave IV Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 I haven't bought any Transformers in a while and wasn't planning on getting this one but with Grimlock coming soon, I was itching and couldn't resist. Loving it! The seller was nice enough to throw in an ugly little buddy to go with it as a free surprise in the shipping box: Let my daughter play with and take a few pics of the AOE Grimlock

I think we need to censor this. Her cone is touching his leg. Her wings are wide open at the back, and there is clear gun contact.
DYRL VF-1S Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Finally, picked up PF SDF-1 and added the running parts. Damn that was expensive and as others attested to worth every penny.

Bad Larry Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 It was a good weekend. On Friday I got a 1/55 Super Ostrich after hunting on and off for 25 years or so. (And then on Sunday I finally got to see Guitar Wolf after trying unsuccessfully for nearly 20 years) Thank you
jenius Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Nice score! I miss the one I sold... But I miss my elintseeker more.
505thAirborne Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Amazing score there Bad Larry! That VT-1 looks like it's in immaculate condition, the VE-1 looks amazing as well!
Saburo Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Finally completed my Mechagodzilla collection with S.H.Monsterarts Kiryu Heavy Arms.

It is in great shape. (knock on wood) I was burned by one years ago that was supposed to be "complete" but arrived with armor broken in 4 places. I was so nervous about this one I filmed myself receiving the package from the mail carrier, then opening it and inspecting the toy - just in case something was amiss. Thank you

Pretty damn clever on Lego's part, the trees act as the base and both houses "float" in the middle. Very sturdy build, zero worries about things falling apart or tipping over. Highly recommended if you're a fan of the show, or just want a neat build with good detail. That's a good looking lego set. I still haven't seen this show yet but I hear it's old school fun.

It was a decent deal ($170 shipped) far better than what some sites are pricing it at. Bought it off another collector, its in great shape and was just displayed.
vlenhoff Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Good stuff everyone! Enjoy! So cool they actually made the VT-1 and VE-1 back then.

IIRC it was mind boggling expensive to get one in such good shape back then. There was no Yamato, or anything else. Maybe if i looked hard enough I would have been able to find better prices, but i recall the hobby being way too expensive for me, back then.

sh9000 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Starting from December, I’ve acquired several 1/100 diecast aircraft: F-14A Jolly Rogers F-14A Tomcatters F-15J Harrier GR.9 A-6E MiG-29 SMT F/A-18E A-10C F-22 F-16CJ F-4EJ F-35A Just like HMR for me it’s quite addicting.

Impressive, most impressive. Sadly, I got a few 1/144 aircraft shortly before HMR made its comeback. Then I got the 1/72 Calibre Wings F-14 because of the hype. None of them scale with anything and I’m not buying that Kitzconcept Valk anytime soon, lol! I do have a bunch of models I built when I was a kid but scales were all over the place. I might have some 1/60 and 1/48 stuff but have to dig them out to check.

Dirtyboy Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Just got this, I already have a Hasbro MP 10, but this transform Element optimus is so much better. I guess it's based of the MP 44 soon to be released but the price of that is ridiculous.

Aside from some "soft" looking molding in the details on the legs it looks like a fantastic replica of the Cartoon.

I guess it's based of the MP 44 soon to be released but the price of that is ridiculous. TE-01 is a brilliant figure, MP of the year so far for me. Agreed, MP-44 pricing is absurd, even at the Amazon Japan price of roughly $300+, that's too much. TE-01 isn't really based on MP-44, it's just based on toon/movie Optimus, which MP-44 is as well, so they both look incredibly similar. If you're interested, check out TFW2005 for member Jream, he makes a cheap, but very nice little vinyl add-on set, covers for the exposed silver bits on the sides of the legs, and vinyl covers for the chest, two shades of blue and a toon centric cartoon window version as well, in one bundle, for like $10 shipped.
