    The design Boeing proposed is hideous. I kinda miss being a kit that discovers all the cool fighter designs in the past. Now everything looks alike. I also prefer the YF-23 of the VF-22 so that's that.

    Regarding the FT Scoria. I still do not understand why he isn't in scale with MP Grimlock. I'm also disappointed that the toy doesn't have the gold chrome behind the translucent plastic parts. For me this is the one feature that is the one unique feature that identifies the Dinobot for me. However I could be biased because I can't buy this at the moment.

    And preordered but I have to keep in mind to cancel it if they announce a remold of Bumblebee as Cliffjumper. I though I would have not interest in getting the MP Ultra Magnus but since I will have soon a pretty complete collection of the MP Transformers in the new "scale" so I might pull the trigger on that one... ...after I saw some prototype pictures. Also my Autobot MPs need a leader because Prime defected to the Decepticons.

    See that is a tough call. For me I have almost no time or interest to sink my teeth into a video game anymore. I would love to however but they are just not as enthralling as they used to be. I have my PS3 and a mountain of unfinished games that I want to play but just don't get around. The last one I'm finished was probably Bayonetta and I had a hard time finishing it. I don't want to derail this thread entirely. I have time however to look at my toy display and admire my collection and even to take something out of the cabinet and play with it occasionally. As I said... priorities.

    Just saw the movie and I like it more than the first one. The first one just left a bad taste in my mouth after a while. And I love Eva Green and the character she plays but... Is there really a discussion on going about the level of violence in this movie. As someone who saw gory movies in the 80s the CGI blood has no impact on me. It just looks fake and comicy. I don't know practical effects just have a greater impact on me. I loved the scene with the horse. This computer generated construct shows the horse from True Lies how to be a real movie star.

    Nah, I'm thinking about canceling some anime statues so I can order more Valkyries. You have to get your priorities straight.

    I can't wait to have MMCs Leo Dux in my hands in a few weeks. Hopefully Planet Steel Express will ship them soon.... ....hopefully without any highwayman intercepting my package at the customs office.

    If you don't pay your invoice they will likely cancel all your preorders and ban your account. When I canceled a preorder it was gone a few days after I left the message. Just check once and a while you account. I'm sure the preorder will be gone soon.

    They always declared the proper value as long as I'm ordering from them. I think the problem is if you are a larger company it is more likely that such things get caught... ... of course this comes full circle when your company is too big to fail. Then you can do what ever you like without any backlash.
  10. Scyla
    Nope HLJ is a law-abiding company and will declare the proper value on every package they send away. They are a company too huge for such shenanigans.

    Or just leave a massage in your account for the preorder. They won't send a confirmation but do as you told them.

    I missed the Quarter. Bandai will never do a Renewal of that one.

    The head base plate on my YF-29 is much harder to slide into place for Battroid-Mode than on any of my VF-25 except Ozmas ride.
  14. Scyla
    Hope they do a Cliffjumper re-mold. The mold looks cool and I rather have it in red.
  15. Scyla
    It's the same finish than the rest of the toy.
  16. Scyla
    I noticed the matte finish also. I figured they maybe showed a hand painted prototype.
  17. Scyla
    I think the UT Predaking fits best into a Classics collection. From what I've seen they catch the aesthetic pretty well. However they have to many features I don't like.
  18. Scyla
    So I saw a review for G2 Sideswipe and the red plastic is this terrible not quite opaque plastic I didn't liked on my Bluestreak. Does anyone know if the Masterpiece Grimlock has the same type of plastic in his hips?

    This one? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36536&p=1100277

    I'm not a fan of the Tornado Parts in Gerwalk- and Battroid-Mode. But in Fighter-Mode it looks awesome. I think the most glaring flaw are the engine nacelles on the wing tips. They are just too big and bulky. In general the add-on sets are very large and bulky. The guns on the back are too long, the tail too, also the wings are two thick. For me the design on the Tornado Parts does not match the design of the underlying Valkyrie. However I never had a V1 Tornado Messiah so my verdict may change after I have the set in hand. That said I love the way the VF-25 with Tornado Parts looks in Fighter-Mode so I have to get one set.

    The Green Giant has also a lovely shade of green. To me Hercules' colors just pop a but too much.
  22. Scyla
    Hey, the ripped off TFCs Idea! (Silverbolt *cough cough*)
  23. Scyla
    I can't understand why someone would not want more of the blue color on the VF-25G. I absolutely adore the hue of the blue color on this Valkyrie.
  24. Scyla
    That looks really cool. Cool as ice.... ...so I finished building and panel lining my RG Destiny Gundam and almost finished sticker it up. The wings are still missing their white markings. Some if the stickers are pretty good but some of them are just stupid like the sliver ones for the inside of the yellow bits on the gauntlets of the Destiny or the red triangles on the backpack weapons. I think I will be finished tomorrow so I can clear coat him next week.

    I love the armored VF-25 look because it looks like a ship from an arcade shooter. The only thing it is missing is a Force unit. However I like most of the VF-25 variants. This is the reason why I have that many of them. The only thing that looks weird is the Tornado Messiah in any other mode than Fighter. However Michaels' ride with the Tornado Parts in Fighter-Mode looks awesome.
