  9. Thanks for the info. Good thing I didn't try forcing the leg parts apart after unscrewing the hip screws. I was trying to see if I could wiggle it off. Oh well. Maybe I should just buy another copy and hope that has tighter joints.
  10. Up for sale at AE now, so I grabbed one. We'll see if they show up on Amazon later, but I'm just happy to see it show up again. https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=99137

  13. Regarding the last sentence, I couldn't disagree more. My copy finally arrived today, and I'm quite impressed with how well executed he is. If their aim was to shrink the OG toy while improving articulation, Takara understood the assignment and followed through admirably IMHO. Would it have objectively improved the figure's playability had they allowed the wings to swing back out of the way in bot mode? Absolutely, and I wish that had been their one main departure from the OG design. Additional joints to allow the wings to camber would have also been appreciated too, but the wings are serviceable as-is. As it stands, however, I think this is one of their best Insecticon releases, along with the legends scaled Titans Return Insecticons which had more realistic insect modes than their G1 toys. I love robotic insects, so the nearer they are to the source, the more pleasing I find them. I still find the OG Insecticons charming (coming from Diaclone, they were more insect shaped vehicles than actual robotic insects); however, originating in the short-lived Armored Insect Corps Beetras toyline, designed by Shinji Aramaki who also wanted bots with more realistic insect modes after seeing Takara's Diaclone toys, there were four toys realized which Hasbro used for its Deluxe Insecticons. Aramaki-sensei created seven additional designs, but according to the TF Wiki, none of them went beyond the prototype stage. Unfortunately, Takatoku folded, Bandai acquired their Beetras and Dorvack toylines, and Hasbro acquired the rights to use those toys in Transformers. A taste of what might've been. A planned second series included a hornet, spider, and dragonfly. Speaking to the shoulders: it takes a little tug, but they do click into place. I love how the arms compress and then the shoulders further compress into the body. If they can pull it off with a deluxe, I'm left wondering why they couldn't do the same thing with SS86 Swoop at a leader scale and price point, which would be accurate to the OG toy. I love that Venom (let's just agree to dispense with the official "Venin" name) has articulated legs on ball joints which look realistic and allow for some limited posing in his cicada mode. The wings can be positioned open or closed, another nice touch of realism. In short, I think they did a great job with him and it only makes me want the other Deluxe Insecticons to get their own deluxe scaled, articulation-improved OG-toy-faithful figures instead of the repainted and retooled regular Insecticons that we actually got. I can only hope that there's sufficient interest by the fandom and that Hasbro is aware and willing to turn them into plastic playthings.

  16. Will wait for Tariff's to lift. Can't risk it. good reissue though
  17. I used to own two VF-31A's but sold one when I was tight on toy funds. This is a great opportunity for me to fix that mistake! I LOVE the low-viz schemes. I just wish they'd release the kairos armor and super parts, in which case I'd pick up even more!
  18. Yeah, these look really good. This is why I picked up spare sets of super packs when they went on discount from.. I think Luna Park? It was back when I tested whether they could actually deliver, and ordered a couple of other items they had.
  19. Got my Lego haul, Goonies set looks awesome but I got Soundwave too, might save Goonies for Christmas.
  20. My go-to has been AE lately, but if this one goes international, it might not be worth scrambling.
  21. The best thing about Lego getting the right to Star Trek is you know we are 100% getting a lego videogame for it.
  22. So far, 2 sites has listings. Am sure others will soon follow suit. 1) Ami-ami https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-193946 2) Nin-Nin Games https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/dx-chogokin/206211-dx-chogokin-macross-delta-vf-31a-kairos-delta-10-ver-bandai-spirits-.html
  23. Under other circumstances, this would look like a lazy repaint. But Bandai must have recognized the 31A has quite some pent-up demand. Wait, previous release was a TWE and TWE rule of thumb means no reissues? No problem, just add in a small Walkure emblem, change the modex & call it a 10th Anniversary and call it day. But it's the right move this time lol. Bandai didn't even go with Arad's version. Also, if it's a proper anniversary celebration it would be some gaudy paint scheme.
  24. It's been a while since I ordered from HLJ, but did they always charge a handling fee on top of their shipping? I don't recall that being the case before.
  25. I just saw the movie and thought it was good. It kind of reminded me of the 80s fantasy adventure films like the Conan films, Krull, and Red Sonja.
  26. I'm not sure where to try to pick this up. HLJ are no longer honest brokers, in my opinion.
