    My younger cousin drove down from UNR to visit the family, he wanted to go to the Fashion Show Mall, which is packed and I hate, but on we went. If I'm gonna battle traffic getting there and idiots while I'm there I'm definitely going to check my favorite stores, which means I HAVE to hit the Lego Store. Saw this absolute beast of a set sitting on the shelf and I had to have it, most expensive impulse buy in quite a while but it looks insane. Third largest Lego set ever made, and I love Ghostbusters to death, it's retiring next year and then it will be impossible to find for less then a small boat, so yeah, I had to bite.

    I find it a bit sad that all these years later that PS2 Spider-Man 2 game is still the gold standard every new Spider-Man game is held too, that game was just that good. I don't think any one game since then has gotten as much right as that game did. Also, floaty is the word I'd use too. It looks like he has a few extra little moves that allow him to boost forward quickly, but the overall swinging does look very slow.

    I know this is still early footage, but this looks disappointing. I get it, the Arkham style combat is great, and it can be applied to nearly anything, but it's becoming a bit lazy at this point. Also, that's a LOT of QTEs. I'm not feeling this anywhere near as much as when it was announced. I feel Microsoft and Sony both had their weakest E3 showings in years. New game announcements were few and far between, lots of footage of last years reveals, actual release dates for some things, but then there were also several things announced last year that made no appearances this year. Personally, I think Ubisoft did excellent this year, AC needed a break and the new one looks great, the AC4 Black Flag style pirate game looks nuts, and Far Cry 5 looks like fun. No Last of Us 2, FFVII remake (which at this point I KNOW will be a disappointment), no new Kojima Death Stranding non-sense. I think Nintendo did pretty well too, the Switch is looking more awesome by the day. I may get an Xbox One X just because my X1 is what I do the majority of my gaming on, Sea of Thieves and the new AC will be fun on that.

    VERY happy right now, came home to this absolute holy grail, the Chogokin GX-72 Megazord! Once again, I waited for the US Bluefin release, I really wanted my US packaging like with Voltron.

    No Figma Zelda? She's really nice too, I got her and DX Link Saturday, Figma really has come a long way since the old Skyward Sword Link figure. Night and day difference really, sculpt, articulation, everything is better.

    I still hate the face to death, Sunsurge still has him beat there, but I'll deal, pre-ordered at HLJ. Easy pass on MP-12+, I see few differences between the original release, and the changes I do see I don't like very much at all.

    Got a bunch of goodies in! Easily one of the biggest boxes I've received from BBTS. Got Anakin and my Spartans from NY too, third haul in a row where I got two packages in a day, good stuff. I needed a Masterpiece Reflector in my life so FansToys Spotter delivered, beautiful little figures, they ooze personality, I love these little evil goofballs.

    Holy crap, I need ALL of these.

    Friday the 13th The Game came out today! Don't know if anyone knows or cares. Feels fairly unpolished and glitchy, but I backed it years ago and I've been waiting to get a wack at it so I'm excited to finally play it. I've been dying for a game like this for a while, and yes, I know several games like Dead by Daylight came out first and attempted to capitalize on the formula before the real deal F13 popped up, but I never bothered with those. I only got to play two matches before work but somehow I got to play Jason on my first try! Pretty fun stuff, very intense, but once again, fairly buggy. The ground work is there for an amazing game, and as is, I think it's still pretty damn fun. I can't wait to play more after work. Since I backed it I also got exclusive counselor clothing items and the Tom Savini Jason skin!

    Figuarts Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora revealed! Oh boy, another Figuarts line I have to collect.
  11. Tking22
    His scans were leaked a while ago, confirmed web exclusive but oh well. The other thing the leaked scans showed was that he is getting a US Bluefin release bundled with another Hall of Armor, I'm waiting on that. The price is always comparable to Japanese retail for one Figuarts Armor, and one Figuarts Hall piece anyway, so the bundles just work out better in my opinion, that is if you want a Hall to go with it. Does AE or NY offer DHL? Being a web exclusive those and US Bluefin will be the only ones carrying this guy. and I don't know if either offers DHL.

    DHL shipping is nuts, from Japan to my door two days total, and cheaper then EMS! No kinds of fees either, though honestly I've never received a request for any kind of import fees for any other shipping method before. Got my Spartans in and they are looking good, stellar toys. The paints apps are great and there's a lot of little tiny details, very beautiful work throughout. I'm loving these guys, they're great, my only minor gripe is the ankle rocker, it's honestly pretty weak. Other then that these things are nicely articulated throughout, very well thought out joints, and metal in all the right places. I'm impressed yet again, and how long has it been since a complete Spartan figure has been made? This line is a beautiful thing, I really want my 3 Defenders. At this point, without trying to gloat, I think I've got the second biggest Hi-Metal collection on MW, behind sh9000 of course. 1 DYRL Hikaru 1S, 1 Hikaru 1J, 1 DYRL Hikaru 1A, 1 DYRL Kakizaki 1A, 1 DYRL Max 1A, 2 DYRL That Guy 1J, 6 brownies, 2 DYRL Roy 1S with supers, 1 Roy 1S original hi-metal line, 1 Hikaru 1J original hi-metal line, 2 sets of M&Ms, 12 Regults, 3 Spartans, 2 Monsters, 2 Glaugs, 3 super parts, and 2 missile sets. edit: Stupid me, I didn't look at the instructions before putting my dirty mitts on these guys. The ankles pull down, revealing WAY more ankle rocker and articulation overall.

    The more time I've had to look at the photos, including the hi-res ones accompanying the interview with the designer on TFW2005, the more I realize I absolutely hate the head sculpt on TT Streaker. It's bad. Like unapologetically bad, it's easily the worst face/head sculpt TT has done. I'm a bit baffled by it, because once again, the thing I thought TT always nailed, inarguably moreso then any third party, is the face/head sculpts. But not here, I feel Sunsurge has him beaten in spades on that regard. I'm warming up to the alt mode a bit more, two modes is cool, and a neat way to get the okay from Lambo, I saw that he also includes his hidden rear end gun in alt mode. Definitely lots of bells and whistles included, but damn, that face/head is so bad it hurts.
  14. Tking22
    Might be time to replace my BC Sunsurge, but I really need some alt/vehicle mode pics first. The bot mode looks nicer, but Sunsurge has a stunning alt/vehicle mode. edit: Also a fake chest? I could have sworn people crap on the BC Sunsurge because of his fake chest, claiming TT could do better, and yet here we are, fake chest as well. I'm pretty bummed about certain things on this guy, the head looks really odd, worse then the 3P options somehow, which is odd because I thought the one thing TT always nailed was head sculpts. Also, the yellow spoiler is nasty. I'm just laughing at how similar he is to my BC Sunsurge, I mean, he's more toon accurate, but overall, he really doesn't look that much different. I may actually save a few bucks and pass, he just doesn't look that much better or superior.

    Got my shipping notice from AmiAmi this morning, good stuff. They switched me from EMS to their new DHL shipping, I don't know what that is, but it's apparently comparable to EMS in speed and quality, and cost me a bit less, so I'll take it. Seems absurdly fast though, I got my notice this morning and it says scheduled for delivery 5/24? Two days? I mean once again, I'll take it, that just seems way too fast. Faster shipping and it's costing me less? That all works for me. I'd maybe try contacting them next time this happens, I've thrown tons of money and orders at them over the years and that has never been the case with a single tracking number from them.

    Absolutely NO MORE plastic capes, they can't go back now, everything needs to be cloth. Every plastic cape on a Figuarts figure has been a mess, Vader, Thor, both of those figures will desperately be needing updates with proper cloth capes. The ONLY thing I regard Mafex for is using cloth on their figures for capes and what-not. But Mafex overall is horrible, so now their single positive factor is being implemented by Bandai Figuarts, making Mafex nearly obsolete!

    Are you talking about the Hot Toys figure above, or something pertaining to Homecoming's story? Did you see Civil War? As others have said, that's Pete's old home made Spidey suit, he got a fancy one in Civil War but as azrael mentioned, he gets it taken away in Homecoming and has to return to his home made suit.

    Looks like someone at Toyark got their hands on Figuarts Dark Knight Batman early. http://news.toyark.com/2017/05/19/s-h-figuarts-dark-knight-batman-early-hand-first-look-253148#images That looks really good! My Mafex copy was pretty much complete garbage, so I have high hopes for Bandai to nail this guy. Plus there was already shots of a proto-type Dark Knight Batpod, and with that, I'm sure there's a proto-type Figuarts Tumbler sitting around somewhere too...
  19. Tking22
    Stuff like that is why I won't and can't blatantly say it isn't a good show, it's a really good show in a lot of ways! That scene was excellent, and very somber, it went down pretty much exactly as you posted from the book. Now the question is will we see the "new" Djinn meeting up with Wednesday in the future? Because the previous Djinn met with him and Shadow in the diner in the second episode but yeah, he extinguished himself and made the mortal a new Djinn, freeing him from his pretty obviously hated existence. Once again, good show is good!
  20. Tking22
    Oh damn, that makes sense. I'm guessing he also helped those Vikings in the opening scene of the first episode get the hell out of the New World they accidentally stumbled upon, right after he demanded they play the most extreme game of shirts v skins in history! The actor for Wednesday is phenomenal, he's just a ton of fun to watch. Episode 3's Djin/Jin/Genie scene was excellent too, "We don't grant wishes." Indeed, to some extent.
  21. Tking22
    Three episodes in and I still can't tell if I like this show or not. It has solid performances, some really great visuals, but it just feels like it's really up it's own ass all the time, like it almost implies constantly that it's trippy, and edgy and weird. I don't know, I'll still keep watching, but it gets really middling at times, I can't tell if it's good or pretentious. I've never read the book and know zero about the source material, I don't know if that helps or hurts, either way, it's definitely something. I would recommend at least giving the first episode a shot, if that is too much for you then I'd stop, it just keeps going from there. From what I can gather, with no spoilers because there are honestly very few to give, Gods actually exist, and the old Gods hold a grudge against the new ones we've created in recent times, and I guess they are going to war. Recently released convict Shadow gets tied up in all this nonsense, on the day he is released, by a man simply named Mr.Wednesday, who I believe controls weather, or is the God of weather of climate or something. Very strange stuff, like I said, I'm still watching, so I guess it got me. Also, should someone change the thread title? It was optioned to HBO years ago, it ended up on Starz.

    I got my two missile sets in and I'm meh on them, I don't think they are worth the price. Kind of neat though, I just don't think I will ever use or display them. Oh well, I'll hold onto them for a bit, but they will more then likely be meeting Ebay eventually.
  23. Tking22
    Did you have any issues with your individual bots? I just got my G1 V2 box set in too and concrete is assembled wrong in one area, and another bot has two left arms so he can't go to alt or limb mode. Nothing too terrible, BBTS already has me covered on replacement parts, but that was a bit lame out of the box. Also, are the joints on yours overall stupid tight? I spent over an hour loosening screws on all of my bots to get them to a better place, everything was way, way too tight. Overall I love the set, but I just know FansToys is going to officially announce and show off their version within a month since I just bought this guy. And I don't ever, ever picture Takara making an MP combiner, the logistics of it just don't make sense for them, much easier for a third party to pull of in my opinion.
  24. Tking22
    I saw that too, very interesting, but I think you may have meant to post this in the Third Party TF thread. As long as he's coming still I'm happy, that Whirl looks really good IMO.
  25. Tking22
    Agreed, I loved it as much as the first, and will be buying copious amounts of merch, the standalone Bluray, and the Phase whatever box set. I still love these Marvel films to death, they are fun, fairly well written, and the casts are always fantastic. Far better then anything DC is shitting out and calling their cinematic universe.
