    This is the same message I got, then I followed the link, gave them their money, and Roy shipped out pretty quick after. So what the hell happened here, is it a stock issue or a communication issue? They're sending out messages that claim it's a stock issue, and those messages come through fine, how can messages with a link to an invoice get lost or not come though for certain people? Are there images of the limited stand, it's just a Tamashii act 5 right? Does it come in a special or sizable box? I hope this dumb little stand isn't the root of these issues.

    I'm guessing the only difference will be the only main difference we see in her main film appearances, her hair. I'm not double dipping either, even if they announce her Civil War version, I skipped on Civil War Cap and Iron Man as well. And yes I'm wondering too, where the frakk is my Hawkeye? I'm guessing we'll see him announced as a web exclusive soon too, and if they do Scarlet Witch or Quicksilver I'd guess they'll be web exclusives too. It's baffling that the AOU Figuarts line isn't finished yet, they've really been nickel and diming these last few characters.

    I would say yes if it were her Civil War version, but it's not, it's her AOU version, Bandai is still playing catch up. Will they eventually release a Civil War Widow too? Probably.

    Damn it looks like I waited WAY too long to lock down my Figuarts Ultron, for how many threads and posts I read about people thinking he looked off or dis-proportionate, he sure did sell out on NY pretty fast. I hope NY gets more stock when he releases, I'm not willing to pay the bullshit mark up price BBTS is attempting to charge. I really should have lumped this into one post, but I'm pretty excited that in one day I was able to lock down my Figuarts Black Panther AND my Figuarts Jigen. It sucks Jigen is web exclusive too, but whatever, Lupin needs his buddy.

    Oh crap! http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000103639/ Web exclusive, a little more pricey, but yeah I guess, also a bit easier to lock down. Strange that Ant-Man was a normal release and Black Panther, the first team Iron Man member, is exclusive, maybe he's just not well known enough in Japan yet to get a standard release? Either way, bought on site, he looks phenomenal.

    Strange, mine already shipped from NY, and that was after I paid their little extra invoice they sent me, hell it already left Japan.

    Yeah I saw that image with the rumored TT Inferno, even posted it in the third party thread since it seems this announcement is coming right around the third party Inferno release and news cluster. I know it's just a teaser image, but if that's roughly his actual robot size, that's way too small for my liking. I'll be sticking with my MMC Backdraft pre-order, at this point I'm confident he will be fantastic, and I'm not confident the official TT version will be worth it. As others have said, I may get a TT Grapple, I'd like him to be slightly different from my Inferno.

    I'm ready for some CF 1As, I'm thinking I'll do just 3. With destroids on the way, I can't have too many good guy mecha, and I certainly can't have them outnumber my bad guy mecha.

    Yeah I didn't mean anything by it, I just thought it was weird that the last couple of pages were all combiner talk, I almost had to check the thread title and make sure I wasn't about to post like an idiot about MP style stuff in a third party combiner specific thread. All this new Badcube news seemed pretty juicy so I had to post it, I thrive on MP style stuff, it's the only thing Transformers related that keeps my interest, I loved G1 and I need to complete my original Arc crew in MP scale.
  10. Tking22
    It seems nobody in this thread cares about MP style third party offerings, it's all combiner talk! Thought I'd post this for those like myself that don't do combiners. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/1065256-badcube-grump-masterpiece-gears.html Badcube is making an MP style Gears woot! I can't wait for that, Gears is pretty awesome, and I love my Sunsurge so Badcube is definitely getting my money. Also. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/1065397-badcube-huff-2-0-brawny-reissue.html Badcube just won't quit! I missed out on Brawny, he sold out before I got into third party stuff. Brawn is my absolute favorite mini-bot, so I was kicking myself when I couldn't even find him at an inflated price. Plus Huff 2.0? Um, frakking yes please. The original Huff release looked great, I found him at a few places, but after reading about his issues I decided to pass, probably for the best, 2.0 sounds nice. Overall I'm stoked, lots of new news and Badcube may as well just link themselves to my account if they keep this up. A member of TFW2005 also asked Badcube about a possible MP Jazz, since nobody else will give us one, and they said he is indeed in the pipeline. I mean, that's no real news, but a confirmation is enough to get me excited. I've also got my MMC Backdraft releasing this month, I'm VERY excited for that, Sphinx is probably one of the nicest Transformers I've ever handled in my life, third party or official. Interesting to hear that just as MMC is ready to put out their Inferno, and right after Maketoys put out theirs, Takara releases this little teaser image that Inferno and Grapple could be coming later this year...

    I got the request for additional shipping as well, I just paid it. One Roy 1S from NY, EMS to the US, they needed another $10, which isn't much, but WTF? I'm not just made out of $10 frakking dollars. I placed and paid for my order months ago, I believe the same day it went up, if I don't get that stupid little stand I'm gonna be pissed.
  12. Tking22
    Yeah the shaky, barely there continuity isn't making sense already. I would've thought they would wait and explain in the solo Bat film that maybe back when Batman operated with Robin they didn't kill, and if they had to, it was more or less Robin's rule that he made Batman follow as well, but with Robin carrying around a halberd, I don't think that quite fits either. If I had to guess which Robin this was, I'd also have to guess Jason, but making Jason the first/only Robin just seems, dirty... But I also guess somewhat fitting for this insane Snyder-verse. I'm guessing they fraked themselves into a narrative corner here, I can't see how they would explain Batman and Robin murdering low level nobodies and letting people like Deadshot, master assassin, and Killer Croc, a cannibal live. I'm still hoping that at the end of Justice League Grant Gustin pops up through a portal and makes a comment about this being another insane, backwards version of Earth.
  13. Tking22
    Lol sounds about right. I mean, according to Snyder and his "proxy" excuse, if Robin chops a dude's arm off in the street then Robin didn't kill him, if he bleeds out then that's on him for not seeking medical attention. Also, just maybe, every member of the Suicide Squad's mom is named Martha too, just maybe. But in all seriousness, frakk Snyder, everything he is doing now is backpedaling and damage control.
  14. Tking22
    frakk you Snyder... http://io9.gizmodo.com/robin-was-also-a-killer-in-zack-snyders-dc-cinematic-mu-1771781312 A frakking halberd? Really? See I thought they'd attempt to backtrack and say Batman only slaughtered thugs in this because he was unhinged and it was after the loss of Robin, which probably led to his lack of giving a crap and being like Batman, but NOOOOOOO, Robin apparently dropped fools left and right as well. This film is easily the biggest, most expensive, mishandled superhero property in history, and Snyder is the officially the hackiest of hacks. My question now? How in the flying frakk is anyone from the Suicide Squad film alive? If Batman and Robin murdered random thugs, why the hell are the big bad super villains locked up? I saw this film for free and I still feel blatantly ripped off, my life was shortened because of this film, I'm done now.
  15. Tking22
    Oh boy, some new news should be coming in soon, I can't wait...
  16. Tking22
    Yeah I'm liking this casting news, plus it seems a certain someone is guaranteed to be coming back at this point. Bring on the sequel!
  17. Tking22
    It's admittedly the best looking Black Series, but it just doesn't do enough for me. I had a chance to grab one a while back but after those leaked Figuarts Jango and Windu shots came out I decided to wait. Thighs look a bit thin, but other then that he's still looking better to me, I like his paint clean.
  18. Tking22
    Didn't see this posted yet. I like the tone, the effects look great too. I'm still hoping the rumors are true that his design gets more traditional 54ish as the movie goes on.
  19. Tking22
    And bought on site. When are the pre-orders? Looks amazing, and I gotta disagree, I haven't seen a single Hasbro Black Series that comes close to its Figuarts counter-part, different strokes I guess.
  20. Tking22
    Interesting, I looked into the dry-transfer logos, they look really clean, but they also seem to require finesse, which I am lacking of. I may just go with repro labels for my first go, maybe if I'm feeling gutsy in the future I'll pull them off and try some of these out, they look good, they just look very one and done.
  21. Tking22
    I got some more stuff in finally, expensive stuff too, Third Party Transformers aint cheap. I've been waiting on Ghidorah for what seems like forever, I've had him paid off for months, I just wanted to wait to ship him until my BBTS PIle of Loot was bigger. Love the Third Party Transformers, not MP Sunstreaker and not MP MIrage are quite amazing. Who would've thought just over a year ago I told myself I'd just get Ironhide whenever he was announced, and now I've got 11 Masterpiece Autobots between official and third party, with another two official on the way later this month, it's a VERY slippery slope folks.
  22. Tking22
    I liked the finale for the most part, the inconsistency with you-know-who's fate was lame. Don't show me that little bit at the end and then have the show runner or creator or whoever make it more vague and confusing as to said character's fate. As for the Old Master still being alive, I don't mind it, I like the character, so more of him works for me. He actually got fleshed out and became interesting in Clone Wars.
  23. Tking22
    Wow what a shitty cliff hanger, it's as if AMC didn't know what to do/couldn't decide going into the finale and they'll just figure out a few months from now, ugh.
  24. Tking22
    Okay guys I'm pretty psyched, I recently got in my very first Third Party figures and I love them, they're amazing and everything I wanted, that said, they need Autobot badges on them. I recently grabbed these two guys. I've got the logo placement pretty much figured, Sphinx right on the front covering those two tampo bits just below the 26 on his chest, and Sunsurge is getting one on the hood on that small tab that ends up going behind his head and finishes off the back pack, and of course one right smack dab in the middle of his smaller, fake lambo roof when it bot mode. The only issue I have is I have absolutely no idea where to start for high quality Autobot stickers, I assume reprolabels but once again I'm not sure where to start. I need two sizes of red for Sunsurge, clear backing so it just sits nicely on his yellow paint, but for Sphinx I was hoping to find red logos but with some kind of white backing, due to where his badge will go it has to have a white backing it can't be clear like Sunsurge. Any help would be appreciated. like I said clear red would work for Sunsurge, but Sphinx is a a bit more tricky since his Bot logo will have to cover some tampo stuff.

    Something about this just isn't doing anything for me, and I really liked DOFP. I'll still go see it, but it won't be opening weekend.
