    Now That Yamato Has The Ball Rolling Again

    in Toys

    Posted

    Since it appears that Yamato has not given up on Macross and are even making more Macross Zero Valks and are going to finally release a new YF-19.

    Do you guys think there is any small chance that they might try and release a Transformable DYRL or TV SDF-1 Macross?

    I know it's on a lot of fans want list and hell they are going to release a Angel Birds VF-1A so IMO anything is possible.

    Sorry, I have been away for awhile and the new releases have me hoping for more. ;)

    So, do pilots still leap out of exploding aircraft just barely in the nick of time then?

    Nah! they took care of that problem by making ALL of Cobra's Troops (at least in the first Ep) B.A.T.S. And B.A.T.S blow up real good. ;)

    Chris don't worry about ol grimmy scratching man.

    I'e got to disagree about this- out of my BT collection, grimlock's been the worst for sratching by a very, very long way. the tramsformation is such that it causes a lot more metal-metal contact than any of the others, making my grim's doors and front bodywork look like they're had rocks thrown at them.

    it's not like he's hand any mroe attention of transformations than my tracks, smokes GT, Meister, or lambor, but he already looks like a 10-year-old toy.

    my wheeljack is going to be an Alt version, as I don't want it to happen again. the mustang is my favourite BT mould from an easthetic POV, but the risk of scratches is way higher.

    there is a chance, I guess, that it's the silver paint used or I just got a duff one, but I don't want to risk it, really.

    My BT grimlock is Scratch free even with the crappy transformation. I do Pop the doors and arms off on purpose now but the front bodywork on mine is fine.

    Anyone else dissapointed with the $50 US Starscream from Cybertron. They just blew up the small one. His damn hands look like bricks. I think I will wait for the 2 pack with the smaller one.

    Thanks to some pay pal coupons I got the GF one off ebay for under $40. After I saw the supreme one at TRU I knew I didn't want it and after I saw the Pics of the two-pack I bought GF Vector Prime on E-bay too.

    I have the original AnimEigo release with the hologram. I was one of the many who pre-ordered way before they came out. Needless to say, I won't be purchasing this set.

    My sentiments echoes Duke's.

    But I will say one thing.

    One part of me is glad to own the original set. Another part of me feels jipped to pay $250 for it.

    I can understand That. I waited and only paid $120.00 for all three box sets. :blink: I'll still buy the dubbed set if the dub is good. ;)

    How common is Wheeljack around North America? I've recently found Shockblast, but not sign of the second Mustang.

    No sign of Wheeljack in 'SoCal. I found a Shockblast once, but passed on him...Of course, I'm not a cherry-picker/scalper, so maybe those two have been all over the place and have been snatched up by everybody else...

    I found a Wheeljack at a TRU in Porter Ranch. Got another Shockblast too. Went there to kill some time. :lol:

    Man that TRU never has anything new when I go in there. :angry:

    The Xbox is still around because Microsoft ate a TON of cash to keep it going. Are they going to do that twice?

    I'm glab somebody said this. If not for bill's deep pockets The X-box would have tanked long ago. If not for that it would have been another dreamcast.

    This is true, but whether or not a console is profitable isn't really an indication of how much fun it is. The Dreamcast was a great system, but Sega couldn't make money on it.

    Likewise, Microsoft loses money on every Xbox sold, and will lose money on every 360 sold... but the bigger Microsoft company will make more than that back from other divisions. They can afford for the Xbox division to take losses until the "Xbox" is as established as a brand as "PlayStation." (Ideally, at some point, they will make more money in licensing fees than they lose on hardware.)

    I didn't mean for it to sound like it was not a good system. I don't own one, but I can see why others Do. I own a dreamcast and I still play it to this day. I just was saying that no matter how good the X-box is it would not still be around if it brought out buy a compnay without money to burn.

    Ironhide's supposed to be a low tech brute of a bot, not some... trendy little box...

    Alternators are not G1. I know people can't get over this but it's about what car company gives has/tak the license and what the toy company can do with that. (Iron hide was a fricken min-van for god sakes!) Quit getting caught up on names and enjoy the toys people. <_<

    Bottom line: If Optimus doesn't turn into a big rig, it just isn't Transformers in my book. (Fire engines don't count, RiD!)

    Everyone hates on RID, but IMO it was still better than Armada or Energon. It was weird, fun and just plain more enjoyable than the two most recent shows.

    And anyone who thinks that G1 TV is good has really been kicked in the ass by nostalgia. Except for a precious few eps IMO it sucked too.

    So-so games? Star Wars: Republic Commando, Knights of the Old Republic, Halo, Jade Empire, Fable, etc... not exactly what I'd call so-so games. Fable and Halo are confirmed for the 360, a third KOTOR game is in the works (not sure if it's for the current Xbox or the 360), and there are rumors that there will be another Jade Empire on the 360. What does Sony have? Gran Turismo (Forza)? Tekken (Dead or Alive)? Killzone? (Halo and/or Perfect Dark). Grand Theft Auto (shows up on Microsoft's console eventually)? Actually, most of the major franchises show up on both consoles, and that's unlikely to change in the next generation.

    I not arguing against anything you said in your post, but the X-box games you listed are only good to you because of your personal preference. Not one game you listed (for X-box or X-box 360) would make me want to buy a X-box 360 because they are not the type of games I like. That's why currently I'm only getting the PS3.
