    I did this as well, but I had actually watched the first episode and didn't really care for it, then I eventually jumped back in and figured I'd give it another go. The first half of the first season isn't really anything too special, pretty standard fair adult animated comedy, but the second half of the first season was when the show truly took off, then I was hooked, it's been incredible since then, easily top 5 animated series I've ever seen. I'm sad it's ending, but all good things come to an end, I'm glad they're doing an ending on their own terms and not getting cancelled, or over-staying their welcome and trudging on with newer seasons that just aren't as good or relevant, I'd hate to see this show become redundant or played out.

    That's because there is no correlation between the two, it's an idiotic non-point. I don't want a BumbleBee Movie Prime, but if I did, I wouldn't want over-sized, I'd want roughly MP-10 or TE-01 size as well. Honestly, all the options look quite good to me, and pretty much all of them blow the official Takara ones away.

    I got one, the site started crashing on the payment page, but I got my order in. No email confirmation yet, but they charged for the NRD for the figure, so I take that as good to go. Still up as I type, but the site is crawling.

    All I know is I need it, and I'll be pretty pissed if I don't get just one. Limit of six scares me though, usually it's just two, I don't know if making the limit six is better or worse for normal collectors.

    I kind of liked it, I thought it was a clever enough out for Grant Gustin Flash, a bit of a cop out yes, but it was technically correct, a Flash did indeed disappear. It was also a nice send off for John Wesley Flash, we even got that tiny little scene from his old series, it was well done. This crossover was brilliant, tons of fun, it had surprises, it was pretty much exactly what I wanted, I was giddy like a little school girl through these last two episodes, it was just so much fun. I'm glad the Earths merged, using a stupid device to jump every time was lame, or Flash having to run there, the same thing he does to get anywhere, was lame. I honestly didn't expect Black Lightning to get merged as well, but I can deal, he's in the frakking Justice League! Plus that, we finally got our CW Justice League! That was awesome, though I'm wondering if they can even call themselves that, I would imagine WB would be okay with it at this point, their multi-million dollar movie Flash showed up and talked to TV Grant Gustin Flash, why not? Great send offs at the end, Routh Superman changed back to his Christopher Reeve/Superman Returns colors, the Justice League was formed, apparently Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern is still out there doing something, Lex pulled some shenanigans and will probably be a regular villain on the Superman and Lois show, and Ollie's legacy is cemented, he's the guy that started it all, and saved everyone and everything. Aside from whatever he has to do for these last few episodes of Arrow, he's earned his rest. I'm wondering if we'll get more minor crossovers now, with the heroes finally forming a real team, or League, why not? I too am wondering how Black Lighting will continue on, he had a Supergirl on his Earth, not this one, but clearly other supers existed, but now he's a member of the League, he's got friends and backup, heavy hitters too.

    That face sculpt looks fantastic, fingers crossed I can get an order in tomorrow for one.

    That does help, thank you. Also, it appears that without question, Venom was in the MCU as well, even though there were no cameos or easter eggs in it to imply that. Still odd that they used an image of the Raimi Spider-Man suit and not the MCU Holland one, beyond that, it appears that image of Spidey on the wall is from the PS4 Insomniac game, it's the Raimi suit skin variant screen capped in a cool pose, super, super weird, it's not even a promo or marketing material shot from a Raimi Spidey movie.
  8. Tking22
    I'm confused, is this in the MCU or not? Is this it's own continuity or not? The Spidey plastered on the wall with the "murder" tag by it is clearly a Sam Raimi Spider-Man suit, not the Holland MCU suit, and yet the murderer part, to me, implies this takes place after Far From Home and the whole world thinks Peter/Spider-Man murdered Mysterio. And then Keaton at the end? Vulture from the MCU or another character? If he's another character then that's even more confusing. Will Holland Spidey or even Venom appear or get mentioned in this?

    Netflix adaptations have been pretty good IMO, so I'll need to actually see some of this before I count it out, no reason to doom and gloom that it's terrible before we've even seen any of it yet. Also M. Night isn't involved, so we're good there, I know he wanted to do a sequel to his first film but if very thankfully never happened.

    Not a fan of this look for Harley so I'll be passing, I'm good with the Suicide Squad version. That said, Ginyu looks fantastic, and I'm glad I didn't buy in further on the Demoniacal Fit Ginyu Force, I have faith Bandai will complete the team themselves at this point.

    This still looks bad to me, I really dislike the costume designs too.

    I'm ready for it to come back, we have unfinished business to take care of. The Luthor swap at the end of the last episode was fantastic, Cryer is very quickly becoming my favorite live action Lex, he just seems to have so much fun in such an over the top evil role. Also, while the majority of the Legends got the okay from Sara to skip this crossover, it seems we're getting some more bonus Rory, seeing him holding the child of, and quieting down the child of Superman was hilarious, he's always had that gentle touch when necessary. Also, yes, Ollie is going full Spectre, makes sense that the guy that started all this becomes an ultra powerful savior at the end, very fitting.

    So it seems MP Hound is officially one of Takara's worst releases as far as QC goes, it's fair to say he has widespread issues at this point. I read about some shenanigans about parts being made in Vietnam, then shipped over to China for assembly, and due to that there was no chance at fixing the QC issues. I also read the back and forth between Vietnam and China was due to Takara being overly protective due to the really, really early leak of MP-45 Bumblebee 2.0, which got out into the wild months before release. Engineering looks fantastic, those with an intact figure love it, but damn, lots of breaks all over the internet, people are receiving replacement figures that are broken as well, and some who thought there figure was fine are finding it stressing and breaking days later from basic handling. I like to transform my figures, and it appears over time, after a few transformations, you may end up breaking the figure yourself. It seems the pins in certain areas are an issue, Vietnam makes the parts then sends them to China, then in China if there are tolerance issues or issues with pins cracking plastic they really can't do anything. At first some thought certain batches sent to certain retailers were fine, but that's being debunked as more and more break reports come in. If you've got one and it seems solid, great, but it seems multiple transformations are a bad idea, and if you were on the fence about MP Hound, maybe wait for a re-issue. Gotta wonder if Takara will slow it's roll on the production of whatever they have cooking currently, they really can't afford to have another expensive MP release that's this riddled with issues, they've gotta get their factories sorted, these things are way too pricey for these blatant issues. Once again, I'm plenty happy with FansToys Willis, Hound was never an important character to me, Willis is plenty of MP Hound for me and my collection. At this point, I'd really only be in for a Takara Trailbreaker, I actually liked Trailbreaker, and my MMC/Ocular Max one kind of sucks. That said, the prospect of paying what I imagine would be $150+ for an MP carbot is daunting, and I would NOT pre-order, I'd absolutely wait for in hand opinions first.

    Looks bad, this definitely should've just been cancelled long ago. I'm guessing this is getting put out to die like InHumans.

    Good looking little setup, I got my Aquaman yesterday and I absolutely love it, another excellent, highly recommended release. I'm still waiting on Hal, I'll be using him as my Justice League lantern instead of John, John does look good though, if he's still available in a month or so I may grab him too, the lanterns work well as a pair/duo. I need that modern Wonder Woman to get an announcement and pre-order too, the classic version just didn't do it for me. Shame Mezco seems to have no interest in doing another Superman or Flash, those were both really good figures too IMO.

    Looks excellent, loved the first film. The story is taking a predictable turn, not a bad thing, humans are the biggest monsters, like Walking Dead, Last of Us, etc. I'm also really, really happy to see some flashback scenes to when the crap first him the fan, that's something I was really interested in seeing as I watched the first film. We've seen plenty of zombie outbreaks, but a crazy monster alien invasion/outbreak, with these particular monsters? I'm in.

    Personally I don't like MP-45 Bumblebee 2.0 either way, I hate the aesthetic and alt mode, bot mode looks unfinished, but as far as QC goes, I read there were mainly paint issues, and those weren't as wide spread as anything on Hound. MP-44 is about the same, some paint issues here and there, the main issue would be broken knees, they could be jacked out of the box, or after a transformation or two, there's a fix, but fixing a $300+ Optimus doesn't sound very fun at all IMO. Hound would be the ticking time bomb, you could have a broken figure out of the box, or a broken figure after or during your first transformation. If you really want Hound, and it's not too much a hassle, maybe send it back for a refund and buy the eventual second run. Honestly. MP-45 has been best described, IMO, as a card board cut-out Masterpiece, good from an angle or two, awful from every other. For me honestly, MP-44 is about the same, great from several angles, bad from most, you get gaps, breaks in the mold, backpack, etc.

    Damn that's a bummer, at least you've got a replacement on the way. Fingers crossed it's in good condition. This release seems to have the most wide spread QC issues of any of Takara's most recent releases, they really need to get their collective crap together if they are going to keep charging more and more for these things.
  19. Tking22
    He looks okay, where was your break? My buddy got two, one for alt and one for bot, both were broken, one out of the box and one during transformation. Such a shame that these things are happening, I'm not a fan of the aesthetic direction, but a lot of people are getting what they want from it, these QC issues make being an early buyer seem like you're beta testing these things for Takara.

    This. It was absolutely spot on perfect as-is in Rebels, it doesn't need a live action version, and it doesn't need any upgrades or extended choreography.

    Hot Toys is 1/6, I think it's either the SunStar or Hot Wheels Elite.

    Not to try to worry you or anything but this happened with me with NY before, similarly priced item, and they screwed up the shipping label, then when it went back they asked for another shipping payment to send it to me again. Pretty absurd, before I got any other response they sent me another invoice for shipping, NY is awful, and their customer service is some of the worst I've experienced in my collecting history. Did you pay with Paypal? Once again, not trying to worry you too much, but before any possible NY shenanigans occur it'd probably ease some stress to know if it's covered by Paypal.
  23. Tking22
    C'mon now, why wish for the show to be done? Others enjoy it, just don't watch the next season if they make it.
  24. Tking22
    I binged the whole new season yesterday, loved it. I'm once again baffled by the production values, they are quite excellent, movie quality at times IMO, the season 2 finale episode was great, very expensive looking. I've seen a lot of complaints about the family getting into a new jam every episode, but yeah, that's kind of how Lost in Space works right? They keep running into new problems that they have to think and "family" their way out of, I like it.

    Lol I got that email too. It seems to be missing a line at the bottom: "We'll get your stuff out, eventually, we already got your money."
