  1. Stopped by F&S today after almost a 9-month hiatus and there's been some booth changes there. Only saw Treasure Island's booth with them closed but I saw they're selling the SV-51 for $225. YF-19 with fold/fast pack for $200, YF-19 for $150, the fold/fast pack for $70 and the VF Ghost Booster for $60. Also saw a booth and Yoshi selling MP Skywarp but didn't check the price. Anyone know of Yoshi will be carrying the SV-51? Those looking for the rare 6" Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus, he's $30 a pop.
  2. Digging the FAST Pack and gun highlights.
  3. The Metal Slug tank from the video game...
  4. On the same Skywarp streak here so… Nothing too fancy here. I just repainted an extra 6” Titanium War Within Starscream into a custom WW Skywarp to complete my line of War Within seeker jets. Used basic acrylic paints with a semi-gloss coat. I’m a bad modeler and painter and just tried to get this one done ASAP. Took a couple days for painting, touch-up, and drying. Will try and take pics in alt-jet mode this weekend. These Titaniums are really easy to take apart, only a few screws.
  5. Really nice home set-up LurkerX. So what happens when kids come over to the house, do the cabinets have locks or are easily accessible?
  6. Didn't know these were sold at Walmart, when did these come out on shelves? I thought these would've come out distributed to comic shops and such only.
  7. If the SV-51 pops up at F&S can someone post the price it is selling for?
  8. They even had the trailer late at night on Spike T.V., kinda weird how they had a spot for it when it doesn't come out til May still. Still nice commercial.
  9. Still looking for the previous 1/72 scale YF-19 valk (ver. 1 or 2, preferably in good condition with box, box not necessary). If you're getting rid of the 1/72 for the new 1/60 valk, I'll take it if the price is right. The last few eBay auctions had them sold around $70 more or less shipped so that is the rate I'm looking for. I'm also looking for these following Z Gundam gashapon figures. I saw them in L.A. recently but didn't want to pay the $9 per figure rate since the boxes were still closed and these are the ones I need. PM me if ya gots them or know where I can get them cheap and able to select them individually.
  10. With some of the complaints of the toy I may wait for a ver. 2, how long does it take Yamato to bring out an updated version of it's products? I really want one but don't want to gamble with the hinge problem.
  11. How are the sizes of the Chara-Works vs. DOYUSHA versions, are the the same scale? I was in the Los Angeles China Town this past weekend and there was a big toy store selling the Chara Works valks but I think it was for $9 a piece I think so I skipped.
  12. Good deal, I paid $75-$80 for mine at F&S in person.
  13. I hope the story does begin with the Macross story line. If they're thinking of an 80's cartoon franchise, maybe that's why they chose Robotech since it has three separate plot lines they can choose or modify from. With the HG legal battles there's a good chance that instead of Macross they do a version of Mosepeada instead. There's only been a handful of movies that actually stayed true to it's animation origins (even 300 added pieces to the novel) so I hope the "spirit" of Macross/Robotech is kept. The movies Toby has been in besides the Spiderman franchise has always had strong story telling (Cider House Rules, Seabiscuit, Wonder Boys, The Ice Storm, etc.) so hopefully the writing for this movie is top-notch. All in all, at least there's the possibility of more transforming mech in the toy stores when the movie comes out. Let's just see how long it will take in development if it's on track as the Shadow Chronicles....2020!
  14. Never saw those before, pretty neat fan creations.
  15. They sure do love mini-mates and muppet toys.
  16. I'd dig a Revoltech figure of the Zentraedi Warriors or Breetai in scale with the 1/60 valks.
  17. As I said in another forum...ACK! on Snake Eyes 2-pack being BLUE! I like how they kept SS all-white, but blue to match the comic? Almost as bad as the neon green they gave poor Duke. Guess I will have to buy SE "espionage" look via eBay from someone who doesn't want him. Cool at least that Doc is being made a mail-away figure, wonder how many UPC codes it's going to take.
  18. Ack, beautiful...but the price! I'm guessing when this shows up at Frank & Sons with Treasure Island or Yoshi it's going to be in the range of $250-$275? I paid $215 when the 1/48 VF-1J Stealth with FP came out and I'm horrified on what this thing is gonna cost in-person.
  19. Do you carry Ostrander's Spectre line from the 90s? There's still a bunch of issues I am missing that I need to complete the run. Do you also have the Vol. 3 of the Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye from DreamWave?
  20. Real nice work there, I was just reading the Wildstorm Robotech comics where they showed Roy flying one of these and I was wondering if anything was produced. Too bad this hasn't been made into a kit, maybe for the 25th anniv. release Hasegawa will make it?
  21. Watched this movie in one of my elementary school classes. I remember the SFX being real good but I did get annoyed when they turned the ship into a flying chrome almond-shaped Pee Wee Herman alien.
  22. Launch display is TIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGHTTTTTTT!!!!
  23. So will there be stress fractures on the wings showing up if they are fully displayed with the missiles and boosters and then propped up on the display stand?
