    I'm in for the bundle, I was going to get both either way. It looks like NY emailed and let me know my second batch of Figuarts Hall of Armors are dropping a little earlier, on the 25th now, along with my Patlabor Tyrant unit and my Figuarts Qui-Gon. Very stupid once again with NY, three orders releasing on the same day, three separate packages going out, no way to combine them since they are all TWE and were all ordered at different times.

    NY emailed saying the Tyrant release has been moved up to the 25th of this month, oh boy! I'm excited, I always loved the Tyrant more then most of the other mecha throughout Patlabor.

    I'm in for three sets still, but I'm waiting for my next payday so I can get all three sets at once, otherwise NY would be stupid and ship the two I can get now, and then the single set I'd grab next week in separate shipments come December. Zero interest in rushing to buy these, TWE items always have open pre-orders for like two to three weeks.

    Yes, TWE items have required up front payment for quite a while now.

    About time for these guys, I was really itching for these missile types, and being TWE doesn't bother me. I'm in for three sets, possibly four since it arrears you can essentially "convert" these into regular Regults.

    I've been buying way too many Legos lately, but there's a lot of nice sets out there so it's a difficult battle. I already have my eye on the Lego Quick E Mart to go with my Simpsons house...

    I've gotta stop buying Lego sets that I haven't budgeted for. ToysRus sent me an in stock notification email for the Saturn V, I've heard nothing but good things so I had to grab one. Got the Ecto 1 and 2 from the reboot to complete the Lego Ghostbuster releases, I have the first Ecto 1 and Firehouse HQ as well, and I got the Simpsons house just because. Now who needs the Quick E Mart? I doooooo.

    Yup already pre-ordered at BBTS, good price too, this is what GX-72 Megazord should have been sold at...
  9. Tking22
    All pre-ordered at BBTS already woot! I'm excited, these designs look excellent in my opinion, they are all MK6, so I would expect them to be more sleek and refined like this, especially compared to the Jaegers in the first film, where Striker was the most advanced at MK5.

    Yup, I need pretty much all of this. Mezco has me hooked, I love every figure I've gotten from them, and I have few gripes with them overall. The Ragnarok stuff looks fantastic, that Hulk is quite amazing. Catwoman and everything else they showed off look pretty damn good too, Mezco is killing it!

    I'll get the Justice League for sure, glad Bandai is making them, I was hoping crappy Mafex wouldn't be the only ones. I need that Goku Black too, he looks excellent. Easy pass on all of the Street Fighter stuff, not that they don't look good, I'm just not invested enough in the games to start collecting another expensive Figuarts line. I'm a bit surprised they are doing Akuma/Gouki before Ken, Rainbow Mika looks good too. Like I said I'll get all of the Justice League, but man, that Flash still looks frakking awful, that costume design is still pure garbage in my opinion. I would have much preferred Bandai make a CW DC universe line of Figuarts instead, but I get it, the big expensive movies are where the money is.
  12. Tking22
    I'm all in for anything and everything Pacific Rim related that Bandai decides to put out, Chogokin, Robot Spirits, all of it!
  13. Tking22
    They pulled this nonsense with my Power Rangers Legacy Titanus last year too, but I absolutely called them on that. They do suck at shipping, but they were the ONLY ones online that had the Saturn V at near retail, very unfortunate. At this point, like in this case, they are absolute last resort, it's pretty much guaranteed you will get a damaged box regardless of what you order from them online.

    I'm glad ToysRus got more Saturn V stock in, I managed to nab one, but damn, their shipping department has the most idiotic crap heads working in it. I got my Saturn V and Ecto 1 and 2 delivered to work just a moment ago, and sure enough, zero packaging material in the box, and the box is roughly twice the size it should be. So I just had two Lego boxes bumping and tossing around inside the shipping box the whole way here, and of course, my corners are absolutely mangled. ToysRus is very lucky I'm not a big stickler for mint Lego boxes, or I would call and absolutely devastate whatever poor idiot answered. It's bad, but not too bad I guess. I'm sure others would feel differently, the corners are pretty screwed, I could call and probably make a case, but I'm lazy when it comes to these things so I'm not going to bother. Still though, buyer beware for ToysRus.com, if you want perfect boxes, look elsewhere, they really don't give a crap about your product.

    ToysRus.com has the Lego Saturn V back in stock now! It's $10 above retail, because TRU can, and they suck, but it's far better then the near $200 it goes for on Ebay and Amazon. I grabbed mine along with the Lego Ecto 1 and 2 from the Ghostbusters reboot, and I'm having the Lego Simpsons house delivered today! I've been spending way too much on Lego lately, and I haven't budgeted for any of it, I'm having to cancel a number of things now to make up for my compulsive buying.
  16. Tking22
    Looks insane! I can't wait to get both of my pieces! I need my Omega!

    I'll take G1 cartoon Skyfire over G1 toy VF-1 valk Jetfire any day. I never owned the original toy, and have zero love for it, it's an old VF-1 toy. Skyfire is Phoenix, and Phoenix is Skyfire, that bright white boxy design is far more iconic to me personally.
  18. Tking22
    I like this new costume MUCH more then the previous one from the pilot, looks much better.

    Got a few new things in, I got the import version of Figuarts Dr. Strange, but the US Bluefin release of Deadshot. I always loved Brawn in Transformers G1, I think he got the most screen time for a mini bot besides Bee and Cliffjumper. I missed out on BadCube Brawny's first run, thankfully they just put out a second release so I was able to finally get on board the Masterpiece Brawn train! I love this little guy! I think BadCube nailed him, I also have their MP Gears and he's fantastic! BadCube is nailing these MP mini bots, they're a lot of fun to transform, and I think they look perfect in with my nearly complete MP Season 1 crew. I just need an MP Cliffjumper and Huff and I'm good, thankfully BadCube is delivering on Huff and I may give X-Transbots a shot with their upcoming MP Cliffjumper, I have their MP Windcharger though and he's a bit crap.

    Probably not helping, but get Phoenix/Skyfire, he is probably figure of the year for me so far, he's brilliant. He also appears to be disappearing fairly quick around the web, I'd grab him now in case FT decides they're done with him and stop releasing more. I also have to put my opinion in for FT Dinos if you're looking for some nice Dinobots, I've got the whole set of 5 and they are top shelf pieces for me. For MP, I prefer them to Giga in pretty much every way, not that the Giga Dinos are bad mind you, I've handled three of them at different friend's houses and they are solid, well painted toys, I just hate the aesthetic personally. I don't like the faces at all, and I hate the huge, stung by a bee, super beefy G1 toy look. FT pretty much nailed the current TT MP aesthetic, and toon aesthetic overall in my opinion. If you're not looking for MP necessarily there's plenty of other options out there for chug too, I've also handled the FOC inspired Planet X Dinos and they are beautiful little figures as well. I was especially blown away by Planet X Grimlock, fantastic figure, put the official TT/Hasbro Voyager or whatever version to shame.

    Got a new little haul in from HLJ. Figuarts Bale Bats is quite incredible, I really like this figure, blows my old garbage Mafex version out of the water. Excellent sculpt, good articulation, and finally, a wired, cloth cape! The new Figma Link DX is fantastic, huge improvement over the old Skyward Sword one, and yes, Zelda is kind of nice too, limited articulation though due to her dress, awkward to stand too. Snagged a re-issue of the old Figuarts Gohan for $15, the knees look awful no matter how you slice it, and the ankles are pretty terrible, but for that price, I'll bite. G-Fighter is nice as well, like a half dozen different modes for it when combined with the RX-78 ANIME Gundam, I love this line!
  22. Tking22
    Bale Bats looks pretty fantastic, definitely glad I grabbed one along with a PO for Ledger Joker. I had the Mafex versions before, and without trying to sound like a broken record, they were both utter garbage. Strange looks good too, but it's a bummer he missed out on Bandai's change of heart for cloth goods capes, he appears to have the same crappy plastic cape design as Figuarts AOU Thor. Also, I'm kind of baffled out how fast this reviewer gets Bandai TWE stuff in. He's in the US, and yet he's already got Strange and Padme, both of mine are still on the way and are set to be delivered later this week.

    While I don't own any and personally never would because they don't hit the nostalgia button for me, I'd definitely agree the chunky monkeys are tops for handling and play. I own a ton of Hi-Metal R, and I guess you'd have to define your term for "playable". Do you mean pick and and mess with yourself or kids? I pick up and mess with my Hi-Metal R constantly and I've had zero issues or breaks, that said I wouldn't let kids have at them. On the flip side I've handled several of my buddies old 1/55 chunkies and I'm pretty positive that if I really wanted to I could kill a person with one of those things, they are absurdly solid transforming mecha toys. It sounds like Hi-Metal R would work best for you, to start cheap, I'd pick up one of the newer Hi-Metal R TV VF-1J Hikaru valks, cheap, no real frills, but it will give you a taste of what Hi-Metal R is and stands for, great little toys, very articulated, tight, well made, and fairly detailed for the scale.

    This is an easy pass for me, I hate Mac II and its designs. Good news for everyone that likes it though, Bandai will save the day and erase the memory of that rather shoddy Evo version in no time! Surprised this is getting released as early as it is, I would've thought, with Mac II being more niche and less popular, we would see the VF-4 or a VF-0 before this, which I personally would have liked because I would actually buy those, but oh well, Mac II fans can get their fix now.
  25. Tking22
    And once again I'm incredibly glad I didn't bother with Mafex, their Batfleck tempted me, but once again, I heard too many mixed reviews. Oh well, it looks like Bandai will, do the League Justice? I'll see myself out.
