Yes it's another valkyrie, but not a VF-1, it's the damn VF-4, who can complain about that? Yeah I'd love to see more destroids and Zen units, but this is the damn VF-4! I'm in for three.

I feel a pinch dirty, but I just ordered the Lepin UCS Millenium Falcon. I ordered the slightly cheaper option that doesn't come with the replicated official box that says Star Plan on it instead, I'll just be getting in a cardboard box that weighs 15lbs. and is filled with Lepin pieces in numbered bags. That said, apparently sorting through everything is a pain, especially attempting to sort bags 6 and 9, I guess they aren't underlined in any way so they're easy to mix up.

Thankfully since War Machine comes with a stand the price was high enough to not have to tack on another accessory, so yes indeed, ordered at BBTS. Looking at my pre-orders, Figuarts Falcon was the same way, expensive enough to not come with a necessary accessory. It seems the smaller, $40-50 Figuarts are doomed to always come with an accessory, meanwhile the bigger, more elaborate figures are pricey enough to release as-is. I can deal with that. I think Ant-Man from Ant-Man and The Wasp is the only "smaller" Marvel Figuarts release I am getting the Bluefin release for, that ant accessory is all kinds of bad ass. None of the other accessories for the other smaller figures have interested me, repaints of effects pieces never really do anything for me. I can admit the wall sections that came with Figuarts Spidey were kind of cool though, but the explosions and other effects from other releases were meh. -
What? Of course Bluefin will bring this War Machine over, I said in my first sentence that you replied to that I'll wait for that release. Also, IW Thor, so not every IW release. I'm wondering if this new War Machine is expensive enough for Bluefin to release him roughly around that TWE price. IW Hulk was like that, no extra accessory, but he also isn't a TWE item.

Red Dead Redemption 2. Coming 10/26/2018.
Tking22 replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Oh boy, my Xbox One X is ready, this game looks incredible! Rockstar always ups their own game when it comes to open world, to the point that the term "Rockstar World" does indeed seem more fitting then just open world. I don't even know as far as a PC release for this goes. the first Red Dead Redemption never got one, but GTA V, eventually, did. Gotta wonder if Rockstar will bother again with this release, I know seeing all the pirated copies of GTA V for PC probably made them pretty pissed. -
TWE items have been pay up front for quite a while now, this isn't anything new. As Mommar said, I'll just wait for the Bluefin release with BBTS, he'll come with a stand too. Oddly enough, it seems Bluefin isn't doing any Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan for US release, that seems Japan only even though it isn't TWE and wasn't listed as Japan only. Dooku is TWE, and Japan only, and his price reflects that, like with Infinity War Thor, on BBTS. I find it odd that Dooku is on BBTS, for the massive Japan only mark up, but once again, no signs of Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan, who is a regular release, but could also be suffering from that rumored smaller production run.

I'd wager Colleen and Misty will get a Daughter's of the Dragon series, and ol' Danny will be folded into new seasons of Luke Cage. I could even see them changing the title to Heroes for Hire, just featuring both stars. Bummer IMO, Iron Fist season 2 was pretty fantastic, and a HUGE step up from season 1, I enjoyed season 2 more then season 2 of Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, or the entirety of Defenders. Oh well, can't wait to see the Man Without Fear take on Bullseye this Friday! Oh, and the return of Fisk...

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I don't get it? As if Bandai or Arcadia could do better? It's a Bayformer design, good luck doing any better. The alt modes are real, the bot modes are always a mess of parts and kibble, there's only so much that can be done. Undersides on Transformers are ALWAYS rough, even on Takara's MP line, look at the bottom of MP Sunstreaker, it's a mess, because it's a Transformer, and that's G1, an even more streamlined design than Bay's Blackout. -
So Jake Gyllenhaal is in fact, as rumored, playing Mysterio. Cool. I can dig that, he hasn't appeared in any previous film, I'm excited.
-
Uh, he is done, that's not Ron. that's David Harbour, the new Hellboy, from Stranger Things.

Evil Buu is up on BBTS, get him while you can. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/81123

Yeah the DBZ Figuarts releases are getting more and more difficult to lock down, Bluefin is almost always how I end up even getting these newer releases. I think those reports of figures being made in smaller numbers is true, looking at HLJ, more and more of the DBZ and Star Wars stuff is being listed as one per customer, looking back, that trend really only started with Goku Black and Revenge of the Sith Anakin, which went up for pre-order when the rumors first popped up of smaller batches of figures being made. These aren't Metal Builds, or Chogokins, or anything super high end, these really shouldn't be that difficult to pre-order. I don't want to wake up and do pre-order madness for Figuarts, that's crazy. But I guess I missed out, so maybe I should? DBZ has been, and is still insanely popular, if these are being made in smaller quantities, that's stupid as all hell, I know early on the DBZ line was almost cancelled, I think future Trunks was nearly the last release, but that's not the case anymore, Super revitalized the series for a lot of people, same with FighterZ, there's zero reason they shouldn't be pumping these out in larger numbers then ANY other Figuarts line, even Marvel and DC live action, and Star Wars. Star Wars, Marvel, DC, they all have 1/12 alternatives, while Figure Rise does make some neat stuff, they just aren't totally comparable to a nice, finished figure. This line sells well for the most part, while there do appear to be a few shelf warmers, surprise surprise, all the popular releases are selling out nearly instantly. Does Bandai not want money? Why not make more figures? With the Bluefin shake up, I'm hoping things get a little better, we'll see.

Lol I was honestly expecting a Ryu or Ken repaint next, Evil Ryu or something. Or Dan, I love me some Dan.

I'm seeing some complaints of leg looseness in Ginyu, but not much else as far as QC, some occasional paint mishaps here and there but my official figures are no better, it's hit and miss from figure to figure. I like him, I also got an Ebay coupon this morning for 15% off anything so I snagged a Ginyu, $47 shipped works for me. Most of the complaints I am seeing are about price, but it's third party so it is what is is, you either like and want the figure and will play ball or you don't and won't. For some reason I HIGHLY doubt we'll see a full Figuarts Ginyu Force, I could be wrong, but they were quite minor even if they have a dedicated little fan base. I could see maybe Ginyu, but even then I'd see him as an inevitable TWE release, the rest of the team? Probably too risky even if they tried to make each a TWE release.
-
Damn I guess Demoniacal Fit is also doing Frieza Soldiers, in several colors no less! Ginyu seems mostly solid, I watched a few reviews and he's not perfect, but he looks pretty damn nice for their first whole figure. Jace looks like he's next, I always liked Jace. If these are in scale, how big will Recoome be? He should be the biggest figure among official and non-official DBZ Figuarts right? I mean, he was a beast, he should be bigger then Broly and Nappa.
-
There's also Demoniacal Fit Super Saiyan Blue heads for 2.0 Vegeta and Super Saiyan Goku, I haven't ordered those myself but I've heard and seen good things about those as well. And if you're willing, a whole Ginyu Force is coming from Demoniacal Fit, Captain Ginyu is already released and is getting really solid reviews, I may bite. I know you do third party Transformers so I'd wager third party Figuarts Dragon Ball stuff could be something of interest as well. Tien is looking good! The top doesn't add much, literally, but it completes the look IMO, shirtless Tien was only on occasion. Yamcha is excellent, you'll dig him even more so when you get his short hair on, nothing wrong with the long hair Bandai did, but I prefer the short hair look for my Yamcha. I contemplated buying another due to my OCD wanting a long hair option as well, but I can't be dropping that kind of coin for such a small change.
-
Damn I guess I got lucky yet again, I managed to nab one. Looked back not even five minutes later, and he's already on waiting list indeed, damn Mezco.
-
Damn, I kind of like it and may need to pre-order one. Wolverine with a top knot works for me.
-
You should look in to the Demoniacal Fit upgrade kit for this guy and Yamcha, I highly recommend it. Solid price, nice paint and plastic quality. Gives you a short hair option for Yamcha, and the green top for Tien. Easy installation, and fantastic results.

Oh man, that will be sweet! Totally forgot about third parties. Depending on what, if anything, Hasbro/Takara have planned for these G1/Cybertronian designs, third party can step in and put out some badass looking figures. Depending on the film, they may have to get creative with alt modes, I'm not sure what Soundwave would turn into in this version, and Optimus and the rest turning into something resembling 80s Earth, human vehicles would be a bit odd.
-
What the actual frakk? Who's bright idea was it to put actual Transformers in the live action Transformers movies :)? Man, those Cybertronian seekers look incredible in alt mode, plus Shockwave actually looks like Shockwave, as does Soundwave, and CONEHEADS! These designs are brilliant, and what we should have gotten for ALL of the live action movies, not totally plain and blocky like the original cartoon, they have that robotic "organic" look the films attempted to go for, while still actually being recognizable from character to character. But is this a soft retcon of sorts? We've seen the Cybertronian modes for a lot of Transformers before in previous films and they look nothing like this, Soundwave being probably the most jarring, his G1/Cybertronian mode looks almost nothing like his satellite and sports car modes from previous films.

DOOKU IS HAPPENING! I REEEEEAAALY hoped this guy would eventually happen and not just get the silent cancellation treatment, exclusive or not, and he is, and he is an exclusive of course. Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan and Dooku are on the way, mass release for Obi-Wan, Dooku is web exclusive. Either way, both will absolutely be mine.

I gotta say, I think I like Better Call Saul as much as Breaking Bad, by the end of the series I could honestly end up liking Saul more. Don't get me wrong, BB was incredible, and a shining example that we are in fact in the golden age of TV, but Saul is stuck playing in a pocket but you honestly couldn't tell that based on the quality of each episode. At first like many I was hesitant, being a prequel it's hard to think there would be any real stakes, we know Jimmy ends up as Saul working for an old man in a pork pie hat and some dude with a penchant for the word "bitch", but the show is still constantly surprising me. Brilliant performances don't hurt, Kim is an incredible new character, and once again, knowing she isn't around for BB lends to Jimmy's character in a big way, on Saul we see she is a massive part of his life, but in a few years time she isn't around and Jimmy eventually goes full "criminal" attorney. Very sad, like knowing that Anakin will one day become Vader. Knowing where all the pieces land takes nothing away from each episode and plot line, even Mike, Hector, and Gustavo still deliver incredible, intense scenes. Even the current story line of building the super lab is immensely entertaining, we know the lab gets built, but seeing it is far more harrowing and entertaining then one would think. The performances really elevate the show, Jimmy's whole past with his brother was a doozy, his turn as Saul Goodman makes perfect sense, and you can't help but feel for the guy, which is EXACTLY how you should feel about a main character, even more impressive is that once again, we know where he ends up, but this in between is anything but filler, it's damn quality stuff. Speak of the devil I have a package on the way from BBTS with my ThreeZero/ThreeA 1/6 Saul Goodman figure, I've also got their Walt and Jesse, and the Walt and Jesse "lab" set. I REALLY hope we get more, the BB universe is incredible and filled with incredible characters, I think I may NEED a Mike and Gustavo, the two badass cartel brothers from Mexico would be cool too.
-
Final Fantasy VII was already confirmed, I'm sure Ray Charles could have seen that one coming :). I too would like to know about Mature titles like Resident Evil II, I know the remake is on the way, but that PS1 classic is just that, a PS1 classic. Some form of classic fixed camera Capcom survival horror would be appreciated, hell, I'd take the HIGHLY underrated Dino Crisis 1 honestly.

Toyark says something different... http://news.toyark.com/2018/09/13/sh-figuarts-iron-man-mark-50-and-nano-weapon-set-316337 This reads like it comes with another whole MK50 figure. I don't think anyone can really say definitively at this point, Bandai hasn't been very clear or forward about this figure/set.
