  1. I can't wait for the day when I'm able to afford a boxed G1 Shockwave and rip it out of his prison. But I will lube the hose so it stays shiny and flexible. For me personally I like to fiddle with my toys and they look better unboxed in cabinets that in those terrible Yamato/Arcadia boxes. Sadly sometimes I break some of the toys while playing with them. Casualties so far. MP-08B knee joints, broken VF-25F metal hip bar VF-25A broke gun pod hinge and Alternity Skywarps shoulder (what a weak design Takara). So I can partly understand why collectors decide to keep them boxed and protected by clear acrylic boxes.
  2. I think the general consensus about Citizen Stack is that it is a good Classics version of Ultra Magnus with an ugly head (but there is an additional head you can swap in from a different independent toy maker). Citizen Stack does not fit in well with the Masterpiece line because his design aesthetics don't fit to the G1 look. Also the size is off if you are a believer in the holy scale chart. Here are some quick videos for the toy and the additional head:
  3. TMNT Review by Moviebob form The Escapist: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/9634-Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Kids-Deserved-Better-Than-This?utm_source=latest&utm_medium=index_carousel&utm_campaign=all Meh not gonna watch this one. 3 hours of TF4 was enough Bay for the rest of the year.
  4. Thanks. In the image with the box content it looked like he has only two sets of extra hands and the flat ones installed. I think you can use the articulated hands if you fully stretch out the fingers. Thats what I did to fit the articulated hands on the Super VF-27.
  5. If you like your toys point and cause maximum carnage. I really like it. Seems to be an improvement over Citizen Stack. Granted I don't know how the head of Captain Shark is supposed to look but on the toy it looks great.
  6. So it doesn't has articulated fists? What a bummer!! Oh well, more parts that I need to gather from broken Valkyries. I think the VF-25F hands will go well with the YF-30.
  7. The red color probably indicates that the VF-1J Milia Custom will be next with Super Parts.
  8. From the Masterpieces I have so far I like MP-10 best. MP-01 is ok but the heavy die-cast feet are killing the play value for me. I would go with MP-10 because he is better in every aspect (minus the double jointed knees). From the other Masterpieces I think the Prowl and Soundwave molds are also very good. Soundwave would be better than Convoy if it wasn't for the terrible waist joints. Also MP Condor is probably the best accessory ever.
  9. I thought you were talking about the Bishoujo Poison statue teased by Kotobukiya. http://news.toyark.com/2014/08/04/kotobukiya-teases-poison-bishoujo-statue-134691
  10. Besides bundles I thing the only way we get a reissue would be if Bandai releases them in color variations. Like the light blue Super Parts Bandai releases for the V1 Messiahs.
  11. And I thought you would be all over this toy.
  12. I guess so.... but you have to give the female fans of Macross some male booty.
  13. Well technically Lamborghiniis part of Audi which itself is part of the VW group. Bugatti on the other hand is owned by VW. VW more than meets the eye..... Yay Transformers. Can't wait for the new Masterpiece releases this year. Especially Ultra Magnus. [edit:] Failed to realize that this is the AoE thread. So I have to say that I haven't seen any of the Dinobots besides of Strafe. Even the TRU doesn't seem to have them. Bummer.
  14. Did you order both set for the F and the G together?
  15. That is why the new Macross show needs a squad of female ace pilots.
  16. I second that. The after market prices for the old one are too damn high. I wrote the Lego customer service an email once asking about a new UCS Falcon but they never wrote back.
  17. Animation error or prime opportunity for Bandai to make more money?
  18. Just read jenius' blog entry. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. So the Robotech Masters are from Tyrol? Never know that. Maybe I have to watch Robotech someday.
  19. In addition merely 35k people watched the video probably less because I watched it two times.
  20. My collection of Transformers consists only of specific characters that I collect throughout the lines. For example I have a Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy/Scourge from most of the toy lines ranging from the new Legend one to MP-10B. The only exception are Masterpiece toys where I collect every mold because that are the definitive versions of the characters from my childhood. However sometimes there is an exception say for cool toys like the new Leader Class Skyfire. This way I can see some of the engineering that went into a toy line and still doesn't have thousands of small sized Transformers that litter my display cabinets.
