    It starts slow, but it will have its moments.

    Heads up, Hobby Master is releasing their first Flanker soon, and it looks stunning. I know I can't be the only one looking forward to it.

    Small world! Yeah, if this was the TRU in East SJ, it was loaded with anime toys of olde and their respective KO's. I remember seeing the KO of the large Dorvack helicopter in there.

    Quite possibly the most heart warming easter egg I've ever heard of.

    I'm all for new perspectives, especially in the rich world of Front Mission, but IMO, there's nothing wrong going with "the robot thing". Maybe I'm just starved for more mech games. And I guess having a FM spin-off is better than not getting a FM game at all. Although I wish FM Evolved was just removed from the timeline completely.

    For sure! I remember making makeshift rockets from a space set and making my own mini missile base with it.

    Shoot, I guess I'll have to take my little ones over to a TRU while I still can so they can share in the joy of seeing so many things they want in one store. They still light up when we go into the Thomas the Train section.

    Yes, but now you can complain...in VR-oooh! Even better. However it's still not enough for me for to fully buy into the PS4 VR setup. For now there are only two games I'd like to try with VR, so I'll be hoping for a price drop.

    The first Zone of the Enders is coming back, but now with VR support.

    I found this digging through my old room: I'm not sure all the pieces are there and the box is toast. Man, I had great times with this set. All the suggested builds were fun to play with, but I remember playing with the helicopter more often. I'm gonna have to play with it again with my kids once they're old enough.

    Good to see FP's Warbots getting some love.

    This is me; I STILL use my modded 3000 model PSP for on the go gaming. IIRC, the last game I played on it was Tactics Ogre.
  13. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Nope, I didn't see that Prime on the shelves.

    Huh, I never noticed those voting buttons before. Not that I'll use 'em; seems kinda pointless imo. As far as subject matter is concerned, last night was the first time in years that I bought a TF in-store. I was in a TRU for my own kids when I saw a fully stocked TF section, even MP-10 was in stock. Nothing Hasbro has been releasing recently tickles my fancy, but I did note that if I ever saw the new Sky Shadow in person, I'd give it a closer look. Well, I ended buying one after picking the best of the bunch. He looks very cool, I can't wait to open him up once I get home.

    Front Mission may never get the proper turn based strategy sequel it deserves, but there is Phantom Brigade.
  16. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Sadly, there were no sightings of AYGO's Madox at the last Wonderfest, which kinda worries me a bit.
  17. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I love my beat 'em ups, but this one reminds me of SNK's early stuff, and not in a good way.
  18. Valkyrie Hunter D
    An April release date gives me plenty of time to save for this extravagant monster. Preorder done!
  19. Valkyrie Hunter D
    More XCOM is always good, it's definitely on my radar. Speaking of strategy games, remember Ring of Red? Iron Harvest definitely reminds me of it. Man, if only Front Mission had this kind of treatment.
  20. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Whoops, these new companies and their projects are starting to meld together in my head.
  21. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Gawd these Combaticons are huge, which means Onslaught will be immense! I'll have to pass on 'em until I hear about their combined form, but the guys you've covered look great. I'm crossing my fingers that their Silverbolt will be ace.
  22. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Uh oh, Galaxy Meteor has been cancelled.
  23. Valkyrie Hunter D
    It looks like preorders for Maketoys' G1 Starscream, Howling Meteor, are showing up. $120.

    I got to tinker with DNA's Susanoo today. Just like a bunch of others I read about, my Susanoo has orange paint chipped off from his feet right out of the box. The instructions were unclear on certain steps, so I had to watch a video to clear things up. Closer examination reveals how flimsy a few of the parts are, like the linkages for the tank treads and hinges for the panels found on the forearms and lower legs. It's a PITA to get him in tank mode for sure. Every panel has to be leveled perfectly and tabbed up. Once that's done, you just have to pray the tension doesn't cause the hull to degrade into a pile of loose panels. And if one isn't careful, I could easily see the nubs and tabs used to hold parts together snapping off. Be advised that his helmet crest may rub on the forearms during transformation, resulting in gold paint getting chipped off. Once I was able to clip the treads together and made sure all the parts were properly attached, Susanoo makes a decent looking tank. The trials and tribulations of getting Susanoo into his alt mode certainly does not distract from the menacing spectacle he makes in bot mode. In short, I love his bot mode. Even if you didn't know who Bludgeon is, it would be hard to not appreciate the melding of a mechanized samurai and his spirit vehicle. DNA's intrepetation of Bludgeon is a love letter to RotF's Voyager toy, right down to the tank turret that opens up to hold his short swords. All the joints are solid enough to easily replicate the poses on the box, making for a dynamic range of motion. There is a limitation with his upper legs though. The way his torso is structured doesn't allow his thighs to swing backward, so Susanoo will not be doing any punting in the immediate future. Would I recommend him? If you like the design as much I do, I say go for it. Just be warned that a little more care and patience than usual will be required to get him in tank form.

    I think if the trailer is integrated into Prime's bot mode, he'd just be too chunky to remain his svelte self. Besides, where would Roller go?
