Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Tking22 replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I got some stuff in, a big box from HLJ, my Hi-Metal Roy from NY, and a few other random bits... I love the Cosmo Fleet SDF-1, the size is just where I wanted it, plus it's the TV version! I'm loving my legacy megazords, Falconzord looks great, but he's pretty damn useless without Ninja Megazord, who releases later this year. Figuarts Lupin and Fujiko probably have some of the nicest boxes in Figuarts history, they're just plain sexy. Pikachu is, meh, but he's Smash scale so I'll take him. While I like Ironhide more as a character, I may just like Ratchet's masterpiece figure more, he's awesome, and his default grumpy face is the best. The only things I didn't crack into were my Robot Spirits figures, I stopped buying Gundam model kits and figures years ago, but when I saw this ANIME line come out, I decided to go all out and get everything in the line, I can't wait to get home tonight so I can check them out, they look pretty damn amazing for the size.Tracks is, yeah, he was only $40 on HLJ on sale, so I guess I'll add him into my now 14 strong Autobot masterpiece collection, that is including third party, 15 when MMC Backdraft releases.

Got my 3 from AmiAmi along with Figuarts Jango, I'm all done, time for bed.
-
I highly doubt NY will have a limit, let alone 3. They didn't have limits on the non cannon fodder mecha, including the exclusive Roy, so I doubt they'll make these brownies limited. HLJ, near guaranteed limit of 1.
-
4pm, same as all the other Bandai stuff going up tonight. I'll be grabbing Jango and my three Hi-Metal 1As from AmiAmi tonight.
-
I'll be needing three 1As, amiami will suffice as usual. I'm wondering what will be next, this 1A was a bit of a curve ball. I'd personally like to finish off some of Vermilion and get the Kaki 1A out of the way, but I'd settle for a Max 1J as well. Edit: I'm pretty sure those stands are just Tamashii trident stands, maybe I'm wrong and they're something new for the hi-metals.
-
My Roy got delivered but I can't crack into him until I get home tonight from work, I got the stand too.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Tking22 replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I never thought this would see the light of day, I thought it was dead in the water. A few months back when I first started looking into third party masterpiece figures I said I wanted a Mirage and Sunstreaker first. Sphinx was an easy choice, no other MP style Mirage on the market, Invisible is not MP, and genuinely looks terrible, and then I looked up and decided between Spinout and Sunsurge. Sunsurge won out, Spinout looks too terrible in too many ways, the only plus on the figure is that the actual car roof becomes the chest, other then that his alt mode is awful and he doesn't blend with mp-12 very well, painted on vents, stubby, fat chest, he just looks so awkward and disproportionate overall. I'm glad I stuck with Sunsurge, but it's nice to see those who waited will be getting what they want. -
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.

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
Tking22 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
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.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Tking22 replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
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. -
The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Tking22 replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Oh boy, some new news should be coming in soon, I can't wait...
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
