    Oh I get it, I don't always mean to come off with the 0-60 vibe, I just do. I just don't think anyone minds people disliking or being disappointed in the film. It's pretty obvious Warcraft is no masterpiece, it will have it's fans, and it will have those that wanted and expected more. I just don't think any of it really needs to be stated, not to say nobody should voice their opinion of course, but that the fans will always be divided, and it shouldn't be a surprise that some people like it and many won't. And as Duke said, MW in general seems to flow in a particular way, some properties and films will always be more popular and given a slight leniency in content or appeal then others, I just don't think it should surprise anyone that things they consider to be crap and a wasted opportunity are perfectly fine, and what was expected to some. As you said, it's not great, but also not that bad, I think Warcraft will sit that way with most, but I can understand many people loving it for what it is was and hating it for what it wasn't or once again, could have been. This is a particularly crazy one, it was Duncan frakking Jones, I expected more, but not being a fan of Warcraft lore I felt it was fine.

    Lol, so much for not taking my comment too seriously. Isn't this the Warcraft film thread? I made my comment mostly in jest, mostly. I didn't expect to get multiple common sense responses on the basic nature of people liking things others don't, good god MW. And nobody said anything about not calling out mediocrity, there hasn't been any kind of influx of people complaining about stuff looking like crap, and I don't think anyone truly cares about anyone else opinion either way. And I stand by what I said, according to MW, 90% of everything is crap, unless it's XYZ. Come at me. I don't have a problem with it, nor do I care about what anyone else thinks, it's just how I feel and it's what I've observed since my time on this forum. Nobody should be bothered by others liking, or not liking what they like, like I said, I don't think anyone truly cares either way.

    Yeah that was announced a while back, they're putting out some older armors in order to further flesh out everyone's collections before they fully announce and reveal the hall of armor setup. I don't think we have a Mafex thread, I found most of their figures to be terrible anyway, but these look intriguing.

    Hi-Metal R

    Tking22 replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I'd guess the pre-orders for Max start July 1st, same day as Figuarts AOTC Obi-Wan. Works for me, once again I'll grab both in the same order, I always seem to get some nice Figuarts stuff in the same order as my Hi-Metals, I like the way it works out.

    Lol I mostly made my comment in jest, there's actually like 3 or 4 other things most people are apparently allowed to like... I mostly made that comment because I thought TFA was mediocre and overall a disappointment, a sentiment shared by few else, and many let that be known.

    Everyone on MW hates everything unless it's Star Wars, Walking Dead, or Game of Thrones. Accept that like I did, or you'll go insane. I only played the second Warcraft RTS, it was okay, switched back to Starcraft, I have zero love for, or even an understanding of the lore or franchise, and I thought the movie was fine. Nothing special, nothing ground breakingly, earth shatteringly horrible, it was a really expensive, good looking blockbuster. China loves it, it's breaking records left and right over there, I have zero doubt we'll see a sequel, probably with more marketing and other things pushed towards the Chinese audience, same thing they pulled with the latest Transformers movie.

    Oh crap, I'm SOOOO glad I never paid the insane markup for the D-Arts version. http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000104668/ Figuarts Charizard is on the way folks, web exclusive of course though.
  8. Tking22
    Nope, there's not even prototype pics yet. And I'm not too sure about the Figuarts thing, Marvel/Disney decided to get chummy with Bandai Japan and let the Figuarts Avengers and Civil War stuff happen, but the X-Men and Deadpool are still owned by Fox, maybe they aren't willing to take the plunge into allowing high-end import figure versions of their characters yet. My question is, would Marvel/Disney be able to create Figuarts of comic appearances of the X-Men and the like, Fox only owns the film rights and the rights to the film character's appearances, but what if Marvel/Disney wanted to make Figuarts based on classic or current X-Men comic series?
  9. Tking22
    Yup.

    Looks okay, still waiting on Figma, I don't do no nasty Revoltechs anymore.
  11. Tking22
    Yeah I played the RE7 demo after I got home from work, it's interesting and fairly creepy, but I'm not sure if it's what I want for the next major RE installment. Hopefully it's just a proof of concept type thing, or just a small sort of detached intro to the new games setting and characters.
  12. Tking22
    Yay! Now I don't have to settle for that Generation Toy Jazz! I don't own any ToyWorld figures, but from what I recall they put out those MP sized Constructicons that most people are loving right? I can't wait, I need me an MP Jazz.

    Best announcement so far for me, State of Decay 2, 4 player drop-in, drop-out co-op!
  14. Tking22
    I don't really consider that new specs, new specs to me would mean actual hardware changes, better GPU etc. Adding more modern USB support and 4K streaming where available aren't really new specs, just new features. No built in Kinect support is pretty expected as well, I can't imagine too many people still using theirs, nice that they're adding an adapter for the few that still want to use it though.

    Got my Riobot ZOE Orbital Frames in, they're amazing, probably two of the sexiest mechs in my entire collection. Figma Yugi is cool too.
  16. Tking22
    No new specs, the S is just the slim version of the current X1. Scorpio, or whatever Microsoft decides to call it, is the new X1 with the beefier specs, hopefully we'll hear some news later today.

    I got a KO Tracks in Tuesday, it found its way to the trash about an hour after arrival. After reading a number of people on TFW2005 saying the KO was an improvement I decided to take a gamble myself, and gamble is literally the best way to describe what your situation is going to be. Mine had four really bad, really noticeable paint blemishes, and the finish of the plastic on the front two tires was garbage. I read some say they got a perfect copy that was better then their official, others got screwed like me, and some got copies that they could work with and make a few mods and fixes to make it better. So it really is just a gamble, like I said I tossed my KO already, it was far worse then official, but I only paid about $34 shipped, so maybe in a month or two I'll try to take the gamble again and grab another, see if I can get lucky.

    Even more strange, it appears there's actually two versions of the female Guyver II, HLJ only seems to carry one version. BBTS has both versions available, I grabbed the original color version. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=guyver%20figma

    That sounds like the best plan. Based on the photo of TT Inferno holding TT Red Alert, and some reference photos of TT Ironhide holding Red Alert, I think TT Inferno will be shorter then Backdraft. Which means TT Grapple should be shorter then Backdraft as well, which in my opinion would work better for him then Inferno, I always pictured Grapple as shorter and more squat.
  20. Tking22
    MP Inferno actually looks much better in color, that grey proto-type didn't look very good. Damn, I'm on the fence now, Backdraft was supposedly releasing soon, and he still looks fantastic, but Takara has actually impressed me with these new pictures of official Inferno.

    Yeah after half size Rex being amazing, I felt Ray was a let down, his legs and lightning suck quite a bit, I actually sold him and decided to hold onto just Rex. Agree with Ultron too, Bandai put their C or D team on him, a lot of inexcusable mistakes and compromises, his shoulders in particular are hot garbage, and his stupid robo butt cheeks hinder his legs. Due to some pics you actually posted a week or two back I've got two new figures on the way to make up for some of this halls disappointments, Riobot Jehuty and Anubis...

    Oh boy, oh boy, Xcom 2 is finally coming to consoles in September, now I can finally have a go at it! I loved the first and played it and the very excellent expansions on my 360 to near death, this is very good news. http://kotaku.com/xcom-2-coming-to-consoles-in-september-1781017148

    I saw it with a group of friends Saturday, it was a ton of fun, Shredder and The Foot were improved, there was less human stuff overall, and Bebop and Rocksteady didn't disappoint. I loved it, and I want a third, it was like a literal live action take on an episode of the original cartoon series, which was incredibly stupid, so it was a faithful adaptation of that in my opinion. What do you mean by closer to the source material? Do you mean the original Eastman and Laird stuff? Because you should know that's never, ever going to happen. The Turtles are now owned by Nick, everything Turtles now needs to be acceptable for children, aka their target audience, gritty Eastman Turtles would be a flop, and I have little confidence anyone could pull it off anyway.

    Got some goodies in finally too, was really waiting on this box. Mace WIndu's head sculpt is pretty damn fantastic, probably the best in Figuarts history, it looks good. Ultron Prime is a bit disappointing, but I hate Revoltechs, so easy pass on the Ultron Revo, I've got all the Figuarts Marvel stuff so far, not stopping now. The Hi-Metal R Glaug is pretty much EXACTLY what I wanted, it is pretty damn perfect. But the highlight is definitely the Robot Spirits ANIME figures, these things are filled with some very clever engineering for their size and price, I'm incredibly impressed.

    Yeesh, that unmasked Steve head looks WAY too big, and it still looks quite derpy to me.
