    Anyone have an idea of what the tariff charges would be on one of these? I caved and ordered a Roy VF-1S from AmiAmi. Haven't shopped with them since the tariffs went into effect.

    Haven't done any modeling today, but I just perfected a home made thinner that let's me spray my wife's old artist's acrylics (from tubes/jars) through my airbrush. So now I have a huge supply of acrylic paints that I can use (straight from the container, or mixed into custom colours) for my modeling. My wife hasn't done any painting in a few years, but the paints are all in good shape though; I made sure they were stored well. I'm particularly excited about the multiple large jars of white gesso, as I have been using a lot of white lately.

    For my tastes, Transformers, and transforming toys in general, appeal from all aspects, not just one in particular, which is why the FT offerings just aren't appealing to me. MMC grabs my attention, as I'm a longtime fan of their products (more of my 3P MP collection are MMC toys than any other) and I'm enamored by their all-in-one engineering, which is the pinnacle of what I desire in a combiner, but also on the merits of the aesthetics of both the bot and vehicle modes. IMHO, they're knocking it out of the park, even if the toon look isn't my particular fancy. It is, however, the trend, alas, and I grudgingly accept it. That said, while it's a close race, I think I'm even more taken by X-Transbots' Constructicons. Every figure that they've released thus far has been beautifully executed. There's a part of me that would love to replace, or accompany my old ToyWorld Devastator, and if I had to choose between XTB and MMC, I'd have a hard time making that choice. I'm very reluctantly passing on these, as I simply don't have space for another MP scaled combiner, but we as fans have some impressive options before us. The only actual bummer is that they're not all designed to work universally with one another, as being able to pick and choose from amongst the three companies' toys based on preferences would be grand. However, we're still spoiled for choice and that's a good thing. Ultimately, I'm an articulation fan, and I'd probably go with MMC just for the cumulative number of boxes they check.

    Regarding Astrotrain, I wouldn't mind a heavy retool that addressed the major i8ssues with his alt modes, namely the entire unfinished upper aft section of his shuttle mode and basically the entirety of his locomotive mode which was just a hot mess from start to finish. His bot mode was the only thing they got right with that figure, and I hope they're able to do him justice with this new release. Mech Fans Toys did it far, far better at legends scale, so one would think Takara could do at least as good with a leader budget. As to Shockwave, his G1 gun mode was far enough removed from reality that I never understood the need to deviate or change it. I hope this new toy does the character justice as well and that he's pretty-darned close to the G1 toy in both modes. Takara's Overgear stuff is mildly interesting thus far. I've no intention of buying either, but the fact that they seem to want to do their own proprietary take on Transformers apart from Hasbro is interesting on its face. I get the sense that Hasbro saddles them with far too many restrictions and a line like this allows them some freedom while remaining on-brand. I'm curious to see what they do with it over time. I wonder how they'd go about realizing Jetfire. Would they attempt to do an SR-71, or, like Blackout, opt for an entirely different sort of airframe (than Bayformers), albeit a large one, say, perhaps, more like the B-!B? Or perhaps something completely fictional "based" on a real aircraft. Time will tell, I suppose, depending on the success of these initial figures.

    Hahaha So true.

    My thought completely. Lol Jokes aside that’s some amazing tiny detail.

    No, they are just AIMED backwards.

    It looks like an interesting line, can Jetfire be in the pipeline ?

    Where can I find that deal?

    I was gonna hold off getting this, but $80 shipped from JP was too good to pass up.

    I think that Ironhide would have been much nicer in red not black. It looks to me like Takara is trying to apply the Diaclone Reboot aesthetic, engineering and design language to the Transformers line. I have one Versaulter toy to see what the Diaclone toys feel like and they are not for me but I think Transformers fans who like the Diaclone Reboot line will love these.

    This one translates Jill-sama, Sixth Grade Elementary School Student, December 1982 Issue. I do like the Macross trifold layout.

    More good-bad news. Exclusive: Intel, AMD notify customers in China of lengthy waits for CPUs This mainly affect server/data center CPUs so the ripple effect may not affect the consumer and EU/US enterprise markets till we get farther down the road. I'm gonna say that the saving grace for the latter mentioned markets is likely that it's pointless to buy a CPU if you have no decently priced RAM nor GPUs to go with that CPU upgrade.
