    Hi-Metal R

    I honestly have never seen a yellowed Yamato valk, but I've seen a number of older V1 VF-25s that looked as if they were made in or painted yellow, crazy stuff.

    Apparently everyone's sarcasm meters are off due to an over-abundance of salt in the atmosphere...

    Nintendon't do third party games, Skyrim coming out is a miracle, that game is also as old as dirt. I NEVER expect any form of third party support for my Nintendo home consoles, it never happens, and if I never expect it I will never be disappointed . Very annoying though, Nintendo did promise more third party support this time around compared to the abysmal Wii-U and even the Wii. I wouldn't expect to be seeing new Assassins Creed, COD, Battlefront, Overwatch, or anything of note on the Switch any time soon. I'd love to eat my words, but I highly doubt it will happen, history has proven this time and time again. I just need Nintendo to get off their asses and put out some more first party titles, the Switch is neat, I always mess with my buddies at work and whenever I'm at someone's house that owns one, but I just can't bring myself to get one yet with it's lack of interesting games, BOW isn't enough, Mario looks great but that's still a little ways off. The system is definitely under-powered and that could be a factor for third parties, the PS4 and X1 are both getting/have gotten updated versions of their hardware put put already, going even further beyond what the Switch is capable of.

    Got a few more things in from HLJ, NY, and BBTS. I should have got at least two Tyrant Labors, they are REALLY neat figures. Qui-Gon is great, standard Jedi robe Figuart stuff, but with a Liam Neeson face. Two more Figuarts Hall of Armor sets, making 5 total, six when BBTS gets in my MK II and Hall set. I FINALLY got my hands on a Masterpiece Huffer, BadCube delivers once again with another fantastic MP mini-bot, these things are top notch, Takara will have to do something special to make me even consider their versions a decade from now when they get to them... Roy/Arsenal to go with Ollie, beautiful release, his bow is easier to draw then the one that came with Green Arrow, which is nice. Hannibal is what I've been waiting on, I love Silence of the Lambs as much as the next guy, Anthony Hopkins was my first exposure to Hannibal and Red Dragon as well, but the Mads Mikkelsen TV series went above and beyond in my opinion, it was brilliant, and far too good for how it was treated.

    Hi-Metal R

    The Hi-Metal R valks are far more fun then my older 1/60 and 1/48 stuff :). They're in a funner line as well, more interesting stuff then just the same figure over and over with a new paint scheme. 1/60 were fine for what they were back in the day, but I think this Hi-Metal R scale and these valks are much nicer overall, easier on space, funner to handle and transform, I think the mold is fine for the size. Different strokes I guess. The perfect transformation on the 1/60 and 1/48 never really wowed me, they aren't Transformer figures, they are transforming Macross toys, I'm fine with partsforming.

    Isn't that just the newly released AutoArt Falcon Interceptor? Not the Mad Max version? I have the older AutoArt Mad Max Interceptor with the dog and the extra dirt and mud paint apps, that looks quite a bit different from this.

    If you added them separately then no, but if you bought the specifically labeled two pack set that says it comes with the special campaign BB unit then yes. Only certain sites were selling the two packs campaign special sets, AmiAmi and HLJ had them for sure. This is what the campaign set with the BB unit looks like: https://hlj.com/product/BANSW1712 And then these are the stand alone releases, which once again, if you got separately and not the bundle, they won't be coming with the BB unit. https://hlj.com/product/BANN18657 https://hlj.com/product/BANN18655 It was pretty dumb how Bandai handled it, it confused a lot of people, and then promo shots of Rey showed her with BB-8 like it came with her, which it does not, BB-8 only comes with the Kylo two pack campaign special set. Very poorly handled, and then they didn't have the detailed info for the campaign special until nonsense up until the day AFTER the POs went up.

    This doesn't come with a Maul, just the speeder. Like Zorclone mentioned, Figuarts Maul got a re-issue the night the Last Jedi Figuarts went up for sale.
  9. Tking22
    Also, it looks like Maul's sweet Sith Speeder from Episode I is up for PO on NY and AE, it is a TWE item obviously. Not a bad price, I honestly expected more, I grabbed one. It also comes with Maul's little droid.

    No Mk IV yet, he's been confirmed and was shown off at several shows, that and the MK I still need official announcements. I bought so many extra stand alone halls I'll have one for the stand alone release MK IV whenever he gets announced.
  11. Tking22
    I loved LA Noire to death back on my 360, the Swtich port is very unexpected. I'll grab this to play in 4K on my Xbox One X later this year, I don't think I ever tried the DLC cases so I'm going to assume these new versions will have everything and I can finally try them out.
  12. Tking22
    I really need BBTS to get my Mk II and hall set in, that will make 6 total hall sets in my possession, and it will be 7 whenever Bandai announces the MK I and Mk I plus hall set. Also, I totally forgot I had three packages on the way from NY, I may be buying way too much, I only remembered two of them. I got Qui-Gon in and he's pretty fantastic, standard Jedi Robe Figuart stuff, but it looks like Liam Neeson so there you go. I also got my Patlabor Tyrant Labor, beautiful figure and I really should have grabbed two. And lastly, the package I forgot about, were my other two stand alone hall sets from the second batch of halls NY put up several months back, I LOVE these hall things, they are really cool in my opinion, I'm ready to complete my set of seven though, they are getting pricey.

    Hi-Metal R

    Tking22 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Got one at HLJ about 8 minutes after midnight this morning, nice and easy. I only need one, this isn't an army builder for me, and honestly, not a valk I particularly like either way, it's kind of goofy looking, but I'll take one for completion. I nabbed a ton of crap last night, this Hi-Metal R VE-1, three ANIME Zaku I units, Figuarts Kid Goku from DragonBall, FIguarts King Mickey from Kingdom Hearts, all four two pack sets of the new Last Jedi Figuarts figures.
  14. Tking22
    I don't mean to be mean, but I love that WE CARE note on the front of the totally smashed package, they truly do care, the note says so!

    Those missing paints apps are rather egregious, and the sword looks incredibly meh. I really want a Netflix Voltron, but I honestly don't like either the monster 16" figure or this guy. Of the two, I'd agree this looks more manageable and quality overall, but there's still so many little things that irk me. The lack of a joint in Black Lion's ears is really dumb, tiny, but very annoying to me, but the worst offender is the lack of wing articulation, I just can't even consider a Voltron at this price point that has omitted that. I highly doubt Chogokin will bother, he's not OG Voltron, so I'm really bummed I may never add a decent Netflix Voltron to my collection.

    Nice write-up on the FT bugs, but I gotta say, as much as I usually champion and praise FT, I still think the BC bugs are the better deal. There are bits of each FT bug that I think looks a bit better then its BC counter-part, but none of it adds up to me liking any one of them more then the BC counter-parts overall. Plus, dat price though. I've only handled FT Mercenary and I personally found the die-cast to be distracting and far too liberally used. I like me some die-cast here and there, but these tiny little guys have way too much of it IMO. I just wouldn't be willing to pay for, or track down the FT bugs, BC got the price right, and they are readily available.

    Of course some of us did! I nabbed DragonBall Goku, 3 ANIME Zaku I units, my Hi-Metal R VE-1, Figuarts Kingdom Hearts King Mickey, and all four of the two pack sets of the Last Jedi Figuarts. I wasn't going to get the executioner, but I'm weak, so I grabbed the two pack with the other third random Pretorian dude. They all look good, especially Phasma, her cape doesn't look as long and cumbersome, plus she's actually shiny like she should have been in the first release. I still can't tell if her cape bit is soft goods or not, even if it isn't, like I said, it's smaller then the previous version so it shouldn't nearly totally kill her articulation.
  18. Tking22
    New Phasma is a buy, so is Rey and new Kylo, pass on the executioner. I'll get one of each Praetorian instead of 3 of each like I do most CF units, they just don't interest me enough. And if the plain-jane stormtroopers are in two packs then I'll have to get two two packs, I love me some generic stormtroopers, the swappable pauldrons help shake things up a bit.

    Got more stuff in, including my second Badcube Evil Bug Value Pack, aka MP Insecticons. Beautiful figures, I usually champion FansToys but I personally think BadCube beat them out here. Spidey is cool, I get that a lot don't like his really broken up appearance, but it works, he's crazy articulated. The Hi-Metal line continues to impress, the Defenders are pretty much exactly what I wanted.

    So I'm not sure when this happened, but I noticed last night that a number of different Chinese Ebay sellers are apparently dumping stock of ACE-01 and ACE-02, aka MP Cliffjumper and Hubcap. I've heard very meh to downright bad things about these guys, but honestly, at $35 shipped, I took a shot on ACE-01. I don't really know what caused this, they didn't release too long ago, are these sellers that eager to dump stock? Is there too much stock? Were these made in too large of quantities and they just aren't selling? Are these sellers expecting X-Transbots CJ to pop up sometime soon? I'm not sure, nor do I care really, for $35, ACE-01 can be my MP CJ even if he is loose or crappy, that's a decent price for a crappy figure IMO. I also saw another site is selling buy one get one free on both ACE-01 and ACE-02 for like $63, I'll have to find the link again. It seems like everyone is trying to dump these guys for cheap right now, it makes their initial retail price even more embarrassing. Who thought $60+ for such small, relatively crappy figures, would actually get these to move?

    Hi-Metal R

    Tking22 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I'm in for one for consistency, I've got at least one of everything else in the line, even the fairly derpy missile effects. Not my favorite valk, not by a long shot, I always thought the VE-1 and VT-1 were quite fugly. Deciding not to get that absurdly over-priced SDF-1 PF freed up quite a bit of money for me too recently, thinking of hunting down extra stand alone packs for some of my brownies, and I guess I MIGHT get two of these, doubtful, but maybe.
  22. Tking22
    I am so on board for this! My Xbox One X and Assassins Creed Origins Gold Edition are both paid off and ready!
  23. Tking22
    Definitely filled with spectacle, but overall, I'm really starting to dislike the show. This new break-neck pace was really evident in last night's episode, to the point that it is incredibly distracting for me, and it is ruining the story. I get it, it's just an expensive fantasy show, but still, the amount of Goku-level instant transportation that was happening was down right awful. I found this very helpful map last night that showed all of the traveling that went on in one episode, it makes it look like an even bigger joke. Once again, I get it, few episodes left, gotta burn through the story, but still, this is absurd. Gendry is the Flash, Dragons are the Flash, ravens are the Flash.

    Still nothing from AmiAmi for my 3 Defenders, not even a payment request, I guess they are getting their stock absolutely last.
  25. Tking22
    And just like that I pre-ordered the Spidey and Iron Man set, Dark Knight Batpod, and Side Labor Patlabor Unit 3 all in one go. It's like pulling off a Band-Aid, you just gotta do it quick and get it over with.
