    Who did you order from and what shipping method did you use? I ordered from AmiAmi and used EMS, my package has been sitting in customs since late Sunday, it just cleared customs and headed out of the sort facility in LA about an hour ago. I've found that everything I get shipped via EMS lately gets a slight delay in customs no matter the time of day or day of the week.

    I went with BadCube for Both Trailbreaker and Hoist, MMC Hoist was not even considered, it just doesn't look short, squat, and fat enough, plus no tires on the legs is a deal breaker. Trailbreaker was a bit harder, but the only thing I like on the MMC version is the legs, literally everything else on the BadCube won me over, that head and those proportions and silhouette are phenomenal. I can't wait for Takara to announce theirs so everyone who thinks Takara=quality/superior can switch to that. After Ironhide and Ratchet looking super meh, I have little faith Takara could put out anything that would catch my eye, the only reason I have Ironhide and Ratchet is because there were no better options, if a quality third party company put out better versions of the characters I would upgrade in an instant.

    BBTS is US based, they always get imports late, the figure is officially released over seas and people that ordered from over seas sites have theirs on the way now. That Amazon seller probably had new stock of the figure over seas and was trying to capitalize on people thinking they're getting a figure from someone in the US, they're not, they'll just pay an unnecessary markup. I pre-ordered at BBTS specifically because it would give me some time to gauge early in hand reviews, and if the figures end up being terrible like every other Mafex I've owned, I'd have time to cancel. Hopefully they figured their crap out with these guys, but their Nolan Trilogy Bat and Star Wars stuff has been pretty bad.

    I grabbed two Phase II Clones and two Geonosis Droids. I didn't use HLJ, their site was all kinds of terrible last night, just used AmiAmi. Also, limit 1 per customer from HLJ is stupid, especially for me since I am getting two of each cannon fodder Figuarts Star Wars release. I also grabbed my 3 RGM-79 Robot Spirits ANIME figures, they all look incredible, I can't wait.

    Skids wasn't an original Ark member if I'm remembering right, I think the only one missing the MP treatment that doesn't have an announced figure in the pipe line is Cliffjumper. Badcube is handling Gears and now Trailbreaker, they're re-releasing Sunsurge/Sunstreaker and Brawny/Brawn, they're also remaking Huff/Huffer, and now we've got multiple MP Jazz and Trailbreakers on the way. I really want someone else to take a whack at Windcharger, Boost by X-Transbots looks so good in both modes, but he's X-Transbots, so easy pass. I love their mold, they just can't seem to get his or Tailgate's colors right, and the transformation looks like an absolute nightmare. I don't want idiotically frustrating clearance issues and pieces popping off while I attempt transformation, and nearly every other post that gets him in hand says they will never transform him back to car mode due to the difficulty and stress. I want Badcube to take a shot at Windcharger, they like mini-bots too, I'm sure they could nail him.

    My total to AmiAmi with EMS was 46,673 JPY. Hefty total, but it also includes MonsterArts 54 Godzilla, Figuarts Ant-Man, and Figuarts A New Hope Luke. That's going to be a sweet package to get my hands on!

    Hot damn, decisions, decisions... BadCube Speedbump MMC Terraegis Two options for MP Trailbreaker? Both from pretty damn excellent third party companies? I'm personally leaning towards Badcube, Sunsurge is incredible, as is Brawny, and after MMC kind of flubbed on Backdraft, I'm gonna stick with Badcube. That said they both look really good. I feel Badcube nailed Hoist far better then MMC, adjustable height is great, and makes sense, most people will probably want their Hoist short and fat. I mean that is almost too sexy to be legal. I can't believe these two just came out of nowhere, and a September release? Um, frakking yes please.

    Odd. Myself and another member scanned all the Japanese sites the day this went up for pre-order and found nothing, NY included. I guess it took them a bit to list it, then it sold out anyway, which is good, the more Guyver sales the better.

    Damnit Figuarts Ant-Man, come out already! That's the last thing holding up my AmiAmi order. The new MonsterArts Godzilla is out, Figuarts farm boy Luke is out, people are receiving Monster payment requests, now I just need stupid Scott to release so I can pay this massive bill and get my goods shipped.

    Terrible, terrible movie. Had the unfortunate experience of sitting through it last night, pretty damn bad, almost zero positives to say about it.
  13. Tking22
    First thing that confused me was that they showed off both Figma Guyver II versions, and yet, not even NY, the place that usually carries exclusive figures and alternate versions, doesn't have the movie color version either. Even more strange, why does BBTS, a US retailer, carry both Figma Guyver IIs and yet most of the usual Japanese sites don't? Oh well, at least she's coming out, plus Guyver 3! Also One Punch Man Saitama, which went up for pre-order earlier and I already grabbed, looks great, new Link and hot damn, Zelda! Lots of good news all around, plus while I didn't care for the game at all, a Bloodborn Hunter was teased as well, I know that has a lot of people's blood pumping.

    I never considered Apollyon, he always looked terrible to me, plus his QC issues made him an easy pass. I really had my eye on Despotron, but this guy is looking good too, even better then Despotron in my opinion. Oh well, I don't do Mp Cons so none of this means anything to me either way.

    To be fair MPP-10 is a KO, not third party.

    They're kind of generic due to the peg size, I've fit a number of different things on them, but they are Tamashii Stage Act 5 stands. They're made for Bandai's various mecha figures like Hi-Metal R, and all of the Robot Damashii/Spirits Gundam figures. The Hi-Metal R Roy exclusive came with one of these with some custom coloring on it, they're pretty great and versatile for the price. There's three per set with all the bits and bobs to customize the included 3 how you want, I've personally got 12 Act 5s stashed, and 16 of the Act 4, which are made for Figuarts figures and 1/12 scale figures in general. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN14285&mode=retail
  17. Tking22
    Damn, really? Nearly at the same time Bandai teases Figuarts versions of the original GB these get announced? I'd probably stick with the Figuarts if they are a real thing, but these look good. I'm definitely nabbing the Joker they showed off earlier.
  18. Tking22
    Yeah I'm not an Insecticon fan, but I read plenty about the Forager controversy. He looks pretty damn phenomenal, but that part that is giving people issues is just unacceptable. I read they included a fixed or replacement part on the Iron Dibot release that came right after him, nice for those that bought that release too, crummy for those that didn't and just wanted a nice Third Party Insecticon without any issues. The same thing nearly happened with Willis too. Early reviews said his side mirrors were extremely fragile, 3 of the 5 early reviews had breaks on their side mirrors. It seemed at first all FansToys was going to do was put an extra note in the box that said to be careful like with Forager, but they delayed him and extra two weeks and re-did the side mirrors in a soft, rubbery plastic, which is nice and works well. Definitely agree on the Awakening Goku, great figure, an excellent update over the original "clean" gi release. Plus damaged Goku looks much better with my only other DBZ FIguart, Broly. I'm actually taking some blank Tamashii Stage stands and pad printing them at work with the same exact layout that the little official ones I just got come in, I'm even going to do one for white ranger. Easy enough layout to remake, I think they'll look great.

    Yeah I grabbed a Harley last night from HLJ along with my Chogokin Voltron. Early previews of Comic-Con goods are coming out, I saw this and lost my crap, if we get the whole actual team I will be a very happy camper... Also, there's a gallery for ANH Figuarts Luke up, I think he looks great, another excellent addition the SW Figuarts collection, I can't wait for him and Ant-Man. http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/51984634.html

    Got some stuff in, really excited for this batch. I know a lot of people don't like the Figuarts Mario releases, but when you have as many different sets and doubles and triples as I do, the figures really start to shine and look great when you set everything up. I had a Monsterarts 2014 Godzilla before but he suffered from derp eyes and Koolaid mouth so I gave him to a nephew, found this one for cheap and I guess I hit the QC lottery because he seems fine. Couple other little things, I love the Power Rangers Legacy line so I've grabbed everything in that, the communicator is pretty nice. Plus I needed lots more stands, Tamashii Stage Acts and two 1/6 stands. I've been waiting on FansToys Willis, AKA Masterpiece Hound, for a VERY long time. He's my first FansToys figure and I can say, I'm really impressed, I've been let down by Takara's latest releases so I feel if they announce an official one I doubt I'll even bother with it, this guy is just too perfect, and I have little faith Takara will put out anything more then a boring looking green block for official Hound. I got out of 1/6 a few years back after getting burned by several crappy Hot Toys in a row, but I love Breaking Bad, and I figured it would be hard for a company to screw up WW, he's pretty damn great, excellent head sculpt, I'm ready for Jesse to release so I can put the dynamic duo together.

    Were the crappy old Toynami battlepods in the vinyl line as well? I had 6 but I can't for the life of me remember a single thing about them, let alone their build material and texture. So did Toynami release two different 1/100ish lines with heroes and enemy mecha that just happened to scale decently? That's weird, but also, that's Toynami.
  23. Tking22
    Hell yes, third party or nothing it seems these days no matter the line or scale you're interested in.
  24. Tking22
    I seriously had no idea this line was still a thing. Did they ever release their version of the Glaug? Or whatever the hell Robotech calls it?
  25. Tking22
    That looks sexy, I'm glad I never entertained the idea of that insanely expensive Toynami version, plus Toynami, what was I thinking?
