    That looks good. I think it will look striking in color. I wonder why we never got a BotW Link from figma.

    Wotafa's review of MPG Yukikaze and Suiken:

    I’m disappointed that the stand has no added decals. At least some markings that it is the Type-E would have been appreciated.

    That is true and I stated as much with the previous releases I got. However, with each new set of in hand images or official advertisement, I’m shocked to what extend Takara pursued the train mode accuracy abandon many design cues of official Transformers on the way.

    I visited the aircraft museum in Toulouse, France where they have not only one but two Concordes on display (a test aircraft and MSN 9 from Air France). So excited seeing this beautiful bird in person. I’m even more excited about the potential Lego Icons set now. The most stunning detail were the tiny windows. The Concorde flight simulator is cute too: They have a couple of more birds on display (for example an A380) so it is highly recommended if you are an aircraft nerd yourself (and in Europe).

    MPG Suiken is out and here is a first picture of the partsforming courtesy of: It seems like almost half of the train partsforms into his backpack and shoulder spires: Hilarious.

    Zoids fans rejoice; Bandai is doing another Zoid in the Chogokin line. This time it is the RZ-041 Liger Zero: And this time you can buy four copies of it because they are doing an add on set so that you can customize it as one of four variants: Both items are Tamashii Web Exclusives. Preorder of the RZ-041 Liger Zero at Anime Export (¥29800): https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=69454 Preorder of the Change Armor Set at Anime Export (¥32000): https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=69455

    Lego showed of the retro Eldorado Fortress from the Pirates theme of the late 80s early 90s: More images on the official Lego site: https://www.lego.com/product/eldorado-fortress-10320 This will go great with the Pirates of Barracuda Bay set (which I haven’t built yet).

    I would love to get another round of G1 Power Masters in original packaging or the Euro G1 toys. I never owned any of them with few exceptions but I have fond memories staring at the boxes of Power Master Optimus Prime and Stalker at the local toy store when I was little. I second your thoughts that the 3rd party probably won’t redo old toys but rather but out Transformers lunchboxes and other stuff I don’t really care for.

    I don’t know since the jet was a French/British collaboration why offend one of the parties by releasing a specific livery. Especially if the prototype's one is easier to reproduce.

    Another round of questionable deco decisions by Hasbro: Transformers Prime Dreadwing: To me that looks nothing like he did in the show from what I remember. The translucent red is an odd choice and he has not enough yellow. Hopefully the blue looks better in hand. More images: https://news.tfw2005.com/2023/06/08/legacy-evolution-leader-prime-dreadwing-first-look-486546 How he looked in the show: The PRiD toy: Maybe the designer was looking at G2 Dreadwing for inspiration but were is the teal then:

    If this is true I will buy it for sure. Not a bad choice for a licensed airliner given the boxy design of the nacelles. I wonder if the nose would be brick build or come with a specialized piece. The probably would have to include the nosecone gimmick and maybe removable engines? Interior would be a stretch given a brick built fuselage. The real question is what livery it could have: British Airways or Air France? The British and French prototypes are probably the easiest to reproduce without pad printing over multiple pieces or a plethora of stickers:

    Isn’t the GN Arms Type E supposed to be released this month? It will be hefty shipping it out of Japan.
  16. Scyla
    How big is the hit box of that pegasus?
  17. Scyla
    Well it is still a jeep alt-mode and the engineering budget is probably limited (like with the first cross over set). I quite like the look of it personally.
  18. Scyla
    [edit:] Double post, please remove.
  19. Scyla
    Isn’t the head of the jeep inspired by Dennis Nedry (and the whole set inspired by his death scene)? So it would make sense for the jeep to have a more "voluptuous" belly.

    MPG Kaen's images are out. They look hilarious: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/transformers-raiden-project.1183388/page-665#post-21362844

    I appreciate the links but I think I stick to the official stand, even if I would prefer a different deco. I just wished Bandai would keep it consistent with the stand design (and packaging). My favorite design is the one with the icons for the armaments on it.
  22. Scyla
    I’m disappointed that the Dynames doesn’t come with a stand that decals match the original release. It is understandable that it comes with the Devise decal design but I would rather pair it with the original Exia than the Devise one.

    I played enough of the Zelda games to accept that a new entry in the series is basically always the same story. The problem is that this is the sequel to a game were you already did that. So you could go into a different direction (much like they did with Majora's Mask). And as @mikeszekely mentioned I probably need playing some more to find out whats really going on this time. @Mommar yeah, I noticed that they give you a lot what you had to unlock in BotW from the beginning. However not in a good way. For example the way the watchtowers work seems to be better in BotW. I always went to the towers, climbed them and then standing on top, mapping out the next steps with markers (shrines, places of interest, next watchtower). And I felt like an explorer mapping out unknown territories. There don’t seem to be a way to be doing that in TotK yet (mind you, you still have to uncover the map which you already did in the first game).

    I finally finished Live a Live and started TotK. I’m not smitten by it. It seems to be a carbon copy of the first came (same gameplay, same assets, same gameplay, same story beats). I’m glad I didn’t play BotW before this because I would be super bored if I did. Mind you, I’m not far in (just arrived in Hyrule and beat a few shrines) so that could change but I’m not loving it so far. And I don’t care that instead of the previous powers you have new ones since the gameplay end goal is the same (i.e. using powers in shrines to solve the puzzle). It feels a bit like Nintendo made BotW because open world games a like GTA and Red Dead are super successful and now they made a Minecraft/Terraria/Fortnite clone because those games are super successful. But they forgot that BoTW was a completely new game while TotK feels like an add on or an extensive ROM hack. For example I don’t understand, why Zelda has still gone missing (again) and you have to find her. I can understand that Zelda always follows the same story of a boy, a girl and a pig that is sometimes also a man but if there was ever a chance to make something different it would be this game. And that it is apparently not so it is a missed chance and a bummer for me. I will keep playing because BotW is a great game and maybe Nintendo will surprise me down the line.
  25. Scyla
    That’s a bit of a bummer, I was looking forward to something that is devoid of any color.
