  1. Past hour
  2. Ultimately, though, it's likely going to be older folks who steer the younger to it, be they parents, aunts or uncles, older friends, etc. It is heartwarming, however, to see younger reviewers like a certain British reviewer who (notoriously) gets the toys in hand well before their releases to do his reviews. I'm glad he's on there and that he has embraced G1 with zeal, as younger viewers may be more inclined to watch his channel over those like Emgo, although Emgo's humor may draw them in, too. Suffice it to say, the majority of TF reviewers that I'm aware of are likely in their forties or over and may not appeal to kids so I'm hoping more younger reviewers embrace G1 and keep the torch burning for future generations. Too, hopefully many of those younger fans will become designers for Hasbro and keep the toys coming for those future fans. Likewise in Japan with Takara-Tomy. Moreso in Japan, as that's actually where the toys are designed; no shade on Evan or Mark, but I don't think Hasbro could design a transforming toy from scratch if they had to. I'd love to see an American toy company formed that does just that, perhaps with their own IP. I'd love to see the 80s transforming toy craze make a return full gusto, inspiring today's kids to want to take that up as a profession. Perhaps there'd even be a college course: Designing transforming toys 101. That would be my utopia. Seems like China is cornering the market on transforming toys today, and more power to them, as evidenced by much of their output. I wish we'd catch that bug here in the US; we could do with more transforming robot lines and fiction, new approaches, new aesthetics (again which the Chinese are doing), and above all, new toys and models. Hasbro's ruled the transforming robot toy realm in the US for far too long without any challengers (Gobots only ran from '83-87, and Hasbro bought the brand from Tonka in '91). I'd love to see them get some competition. Heck, if I had the wherewithal and the finances, I'd do it myself. For now, it's just a dream, and I explore my own creativity and desires for these things through LEGO.
  3. 007 gonna be high on spice instead of drinking martinis

  6. Well then... my expectations just went through the roof.
  7. UPDATE: made a stand for the KBoP- assebly (pieces are oak): Paintin (acrylc): isplay ill try to get better pcs this evening; vry rough night tnight.
  8. Did anyone notice that the Hi-Metal R B-ATM-03 FATTY is marked with a US release? I think it's a mistake since none of the other units where released in the US But maybe Bandai will surprise us? 😱 Also have some scans of a book with some detail on the B-ATM-03 FATTY that might be of interest! Enjoy!
  9. Now that MK II looks pretty great.
  10. Uh, let's just say I am too scared to open it now, or ever. PF 19 is up there as one of the best valkyrie toys ever IMO. I've only seen it pop up on Mandarake a couple of times. It was 50k iirc but with the current exchange rate it's cheaper than when I got mine.
  11. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FF2NG1RH Currently unavailable but here's the Amazon listing for the 4K Blu-ray set.
  12. Update on the LIVE Telecast venues for the Macross F concert Additional - Malaysia! TGV cinemas (2 venues), Melbourne (Australia), Macau and Bangkok (Thailand)! For those who wants to watch in your own country, maybe print out concert title and check with your local theather!

  14. Nice pics @Slave IV. I like that the KO version doesn't have a huge zipper like the official version. I need to dig mine out. I also want one for my HMR. Maybe I can get my wife to sew me one.

  16. I'll definitely buy 2 Juggernauts. I'll still keep my Marvel Select Juggernaut too and use him as an alternate universe movie style Juggernaut.
  17. Iron Man Mark II Chrome Edition.
