    Labor transports!? This makes up for the "bonus" paint guns.

    I think it'd look better if the lower legs were rotated 180 degrees so the feet would be bigger.

    Remember when Fansproject's City Commander kit drove up prices of the Classics Ultra Magnus/Skywarp pack? A similar thing might be happening with CW Optimus because of the S.N.D. Primo Vitalis kit. Prices of CW Optimus seem to climbing on Ebay. The kit makes a handsome IDW-based Prime out of a dumpy CW toy, and I think it looks even better than Beelzeboss' kit. It's really cool that the combining feature is still intact with the kit added on, and it doesn't look too bad as a torso at all. If you are considering getting one like I am, you might consider grabbing a CW Optimus fast. Incidentally, S.N.D.'s kit for CW Megatron looks promising.

    Currently playing Star Ocean: The Last Hope since it was selling for 9 bucks, with some smatterings of Street Fighter V. I just passed Galak Z-good times!

    I'm gonna wait for confirmation before celebrating that Takara is finally getting on board. Personally, I'm still preferring a couple of 3rd party designs over this one.

    I'm missing a good 1/60 VF-2SS toy. But to be more realistic, I'm missing a Yammie VF-11C from my collection.

    I'm wishing Bandai uses this line to release an updated Destroid Conversion kit. I'm just worried that they'll pull a Yamato and stop making Destroid toys midway through the Destroid line up.

    Here comes a new challenger! That's what? 4 options for Trailbreaker now?

    Me thinks you were at the Naval Aviation Museum in Florida. Color me green with envy; I've always wanted to go there.

    It's been so long that I totally forgot those! Help me out David, is that the Hogan or Socates? Is your XB-70 the one from Dragon?

    I'm not getting the reference for ALLEN. 3rd parties haven't run out of wacky names yet, right? How about Pink Assassin's Lover? Sproinger? Boxycopter?

    I didn't have to say anything: Walmart just did an automatic refund to my credit card.

    The day's finally arrived. Die cast models of Aérospatiale/BAC Concordes have finally been made at a scale I can truly appreciate. Gemini Jets has previously released a 1/200 scale Concorde in British Airways livery, but the one I was waiting for was the Air France version, one of their latest releases. I received it yesterday, and it is glorious. It has been painted beautifully; I couldn't find a flaw. Its total length is approximately one foot with a wingspan of five inches, and it has a good heft to it. The model can be displayed in-flight or with the landing gear down. I haven't plugged the landing gear in yet, but I have to point out that the doors used for the rear in in-flight mode are attached via small round magnets. It's really cool and I wish more models would use that approach. The front in-flight doors on mine aren't completely flush, they stick out by a fraction of a millimeter, but I reckon a filing job would fix that. The model's nose even has the drooping action with a attachable visor to simulate the fully streamlined mode. Even with the tiny pegs used to attach the visor, mine is a little loose. It's a minor niggle that doesn't detract from the overall excellence this model exudes. Not many accessories to mention; just a wooden display stand (with rubber padding to avoid scratching where it attaches to the model-nice!) and two small picks that are used to remove the landing doors in in-flight mode. It's a great piece, and any die cast plane collector should check it out.

    Gah, oh well. It was worth a shot. My dog needed a new collar trinket anyways.

    ...we're gonna be getting INSTRUCTION MANUALS for the Betas, aren't we?

    After looking at some newer pics of DX9's Megs, I'm having a hard time sticking with my first choice of MT's Despotron being my MP styled Megatron. I'm definitely liking Mightron's head sculpt and legs more than Despotron's.
  17. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Well I know it IS stored with other garbage figures like the old Banprestos and some other Toynami junk.
  18. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Well holy crap. I got my shipping notice too. Now where the heck did I store my Alpha?
  19. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I'm 90% sure they won't be arriving. I'm just waiting for the apologetic email from Walmart in regards to an error of some sort.
  20. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I don't think that vendor will honor that price. But I gave it shot anyways. We'll see what happens.

    Mine arrived from the same vendor around 3 days ago. Thanks for the info, that was a sweet deal!

    Not a bad discount. There was only one logical choice after saving some scratch for a potentially improved VF-2SS from Evo Toys. Seeing how that turned out, I'm now making room for a Monster-nee ha!

    I think Despotron looks smashing with MP-10. If its build quality is just as good, he will be mine. After seeing MMC's Hoist, I may NOT mix and match between Badcube and MMC.
  24. Valkyrie Hunter D
    Yeah, that's right, Skids came in at the same time as Tracks. As far as the others go, Cosmos is fine as a legends figure in my book, but Powerglide could use more love along with Seaspray. I would toss in Hauler in there as well, but I figure Takara will make an Inferno redeco of him in the future.
  25. Valkyrie Hunter D
    I forgot that Toyworld also has their Trailbreaker in the works. For me it's going to boil down between MMC and Badcube. Maybe I'll just mix and match between the both of them for Hoist and Trailbreaker. Who's left for the Season 1 and 2 ark crew for MP styled treatment? Skids and Cliffjumper?
