    True... I suppose I can't argue with that. Embrace the absurdity!

    Although I have a soft spot for Beastbox (love that little pink gorilla- still have my G1 set, and love Wu's update), compared to his Squawkbox, IMHO Wu's take on SlamDance translated into a more cohesive toy except for the precarious weapon attachments which could have greatly benefitted from stronger tabs. Be careful with them, as they're very small and their attachment is tenuous at best. That bit of frustration notwithstanding, I hope you enjoy them. I wish Tak/Has were doing the cassettes at this level, but alas, not even close, except for Legacy Eject. Wu's figs still enjoy better articulation but Eject is the best official cassette thus far in the Legacy scale. Their new Rumble was so close, but the lack of elbows was pretty disappointing. Like, c'mon man, just two more parts on the sprue could've given us ball jointed elbows, and that would've been awesome. I would have rather had elbows than the pile drivers. As much as I love the cassettes, I own nary a single copy of Slugfest or Overkill, so a new Dr. Wu set is very much welcomed for my CHUG collection. I'd love to see Keith (KFC) do an updated version as well in the OG micro-cassette scale. If they were to turn out anywhere near as good as his recent Ramhorn and Steeljaw, fantastic! And of course, I'd love for MMC to do their takes as well for the MP scale. In case you weren't aware, this set is coming from Fans Toys: Robot Paradise RP-01C Buzzsaw, Overkill, Autoscout & Slugfest Set of 4 - Show.Z Store (showzstore.com) FT's cassettes are OG micro-cassette scale, and with this set, I'll finally have my first copies of Slugfest and Overkill. I wish they'd put Ratbat in there instead of the pointless Autoscout, but I guess they need to keep him tied to Acoustic Blaster so people will buy him. Hopefully, they'll eventually do just a solo release of Ratbat or a two-pack with him and another recolored cassette, probably the Autoscout just to get their money from the mold.🙄 Just to add my additional $.02, I have both KFC's and FT's recent OG micro-cassette scaled Ramhorn and Steeljaw and I think Keith's versions are far superior. At that scale, I don't know how he could've improved on them, especially Ramhorn; they're just so well done. If Keith can replicate that effort with the dino-cassettes, yes please. I won't begrudge you Dr Wu's Extreme Warfare line, as it obviously has its fans or he wouldn't still be making more figs. Although initially I tried to resist falling down the legends rabbit hole, I've plunged, especially this month. I've spent a lot more than I should have filling the ranks with various figs from both MS and NA, especially NA's Dinobots (their Sludge and Swoop are excellent, their Grimlock not as good, but still ok IMHO- looks slightly undersized to me). However, I have holes in my cassette collection that I'd love to finally have filled in at least some capacity and, given how much quicker he's pumping these things out than anyone else currently, I'm hanging my hat on his continued production of these things. Moreover, he's making cassette teams that we'll otherwise not get if left solely up to Has/Tak, or really anyone else for that matter. Case in point: https://showzstore.com/drwu-mini-cassettes-impact-wave_p5895.html I know, not the Slugfest/Overkill team we both want, but it is a Dino combiner cassette team. And yeah, I know that pterosaurs aren't technically dinosaurs, but for the sake of simplicity, I abuse the term. These guys are based on Graphy and Noise, of which I had no familiarity until Pulse had the G1 cassettes for sale awhile back. I passed, as they were pretty expensive, had G1 Frenzy (cartoon's Rumble) packed in as a third wheel to raise the price, and had even more lackluster articulation than most other G1 cassette bots. Guess my waiting for better paid off as Wu's versions are vast improvements, especially Noise's articulation and most certainly Decibel's. I'm looking forward to their and the FT 4-pack's releases to fill some voids in my collection, and I continue to hold out hope that Wu will eventually plumb the entire library of G1 cassettes to give us improved versions in Legacy scale. Versions of Dile and Zaur would be awesome next to Overkill and Slugfest- a nice little menagerie of dinosaur cassettes. Beyond that, if Wu wanted to really get adventurous, he could do updated versions of Micro-change Battle Bike and Jet-heli from the Microman line along with his own mini Microman figure. It's a stretch, but dreams are free. If you're reading this, Dr Wu, do all the TF cassettes first please, and thank you most kindly.

    Probably Mafex and Sentinel, which both had more accessories plus their own full sets of soft goods clothing for different looks that aren't available here.

    Ohhh, great solution for the sidemarker lights ... they are way too white, thanks for the suggestion!

    If you do not care waiting until after it's released outside of Japan, you can probably get a discount on it come Xmas time later this year.....outside of Japan, I doubt this particular VF has enough recognition and demand to maintain current US retail pricing....guessing it will dip below 100 USD soon after domestic release.... https://www.amazon.com/TAMASHII-NATIONS-Macross-Valkyrie-Hi-Metal/dp/B0CZQKGSQ6/ref=sr_1_9 https://www.eknightmedia.com/macross-7-vf-19-custom-fire-valkyrie-hi-metal-r-action-figure-by-bandai-tamashii-nations.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiYOxBhC5ARIsAIvdH50huzpFAZIOwtAw-qXRRvIt5ZXxlLL6JNrQK_Hk-qQBxU49ZqSRT3UaAjutEALw_wcB

    It all depends on how badly US fans want it....like the DX Mechanics VF-1S...there were 2 waves.....if you waited until the second wave, you definitely paid less than those who "panic" bought when it was first released.... Another example would be the "blue" Max VF-0S.......it was not a "VF-1" from SDFM/Robotech and it was not in "canon" colors....it more or less has not gained much re-sale "value" since its original release.... Personally, I think it will not go beyond the 50K JPY range...may even drop below that after the hype clears.....it has a lot of stuff going against it....mainly the non-canon looks...it may not be desireable enough to command much demand, thus keeping the aftermarket price low....time will tell

    There really wasn’t enough Nightcrawler in an episode where he was shown so well in the title. He’s been way underused in the show ever since the old episodes. Although he had good moments in the Pryde of the X-Men pilot episode thing

    I remember seeing that message on Dengeki Hobby Web, but it's not on the official Tamashii Nations product page, which doesn't include a sales link: https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2304751/ Okay, I found something more official that has the dates you mention and also says no sales or deliveries take place at the Tamashii stores: https://tamashiiweb.com/store/tokyo/event/detail/202405.html This is really confusing. Now digging a bit deeper I found this product page with a link to a more general sales site that Bandai makes difficult to access from outside Japan: https://tamashiiweb.com/store/tokyo/items/detail/14921.html Bandai is not making this easy to figure out, probably by design. So what I think we know now: Japan only Four online sales periods that are a combination of first-come/first-served and lottery, starting today and continuing through 02 July You have to be a Club Tamashii Member to buy one

    So.... confused... I would have bought multiple super 31A's: oh well. I sold my Hayate a long time ago and I suppose it it's super cheap I wouldn't mind another.

    I enjoyed episode 6.

    Showed the trailer to my young children and they want to see it. As for the rest of us older fans... we still have TRANSFORMERS 1986 😅
  24. sh9000
    I'll check it out with my kid.
  25. Mog
    Thanks for moving my post. My limited search failed me. But much like the OG Enterprise, it found its way home.
  26. Boobytrap
    Oh you're no fun If you are still getting 4 kits then what else are you going to do with the all those extras in your parts bin. May as well have a laugh at some of the ridiculousness in this show.
