    Maybe deceiving is too strong of a word but my first impression was that it is a cool pyramid set. And it took my a while to realize that is not a full pyramid. I could easily imagine that not well informed buyers of that said are expecting an fully realized pyramid and the pictures on Legos own site don’t help to prevent that impression. The accompanying text mentions that you need two sets though. Regarding the Optimus Prime set; I‘ve read that the eyes are painted so that is good. I think the problem is that the eye shape is too sharp for the blocky proportions of the toy. Maybe if the designer had gone for a more cartoony look (i.e. made them larger) it would have looked better.

    You mean you like the half pyramid? I really don’t like the fact that it is only half of a pyramid. And the pictures are really deceiving like this one here:

    The MGEX Strike Freedom looks great and the price is not too outrageous. Sadly I need to work on my backlog first

    Nemesis Prime when? [edit:] The eye stickers look terrible. I really wish Lego would just print all the details on the collector releases. Ideally they would have created a new piece in the shape of the eye lenses to give the face more definition and character. I @M'Kyuun I think it is hard to do a G1 accurate Arcee well without copying the MMC OX to a certain extent. I have three of the MP Arcee molds (TT, FT and OX) and MMC Azalea is by far the best one.

    No worries. I hope you enjoy the Yamato ones. I might have to get those to have some Bubblegum Crisis merch in my collection.

    Me too…

    Also MP Trailbreaker doesn’t have enough of the yellow orange red patterns which will be forever burned into my brain as an 80s signifier.

    @tekering I still like Terraegis. Especially the way the front of the car slims down towards the waist in robot-mode. Shame that the legs are not more solid and the gray plastic could have used a painted finish.

    I was super surprised when I but my newly finished MG Hi-Nu Ver. Ka next to the already finished MG Nu Ver. Ka and he was dwarfed by it.

    Well FT Outrider will probably be released long before Bandit, so you have some time to change your mind.

    Rumors have it that the next G1 from Takara will be Trailbreaker: (image courtesy of TFW2005). I have MMC Terraegis for Trailbreaker and FT for Hoist so not really interested but I would be open for a yellow or blue one to have the mold in my collection.

    Arcadia, being a smaller toy manufacturer, always had delays in their products once in a while. Now with the pandemic even Bandai has now frequent delays for their products like the Metal Build Eva-00 or the Mirage VF-31AX. I think it is par for the course that Arcadia is having a more difficult time dealing with the ramifications of the pandemic. Especially when you have to switch factories since you don’t own them or train new workers since the one with experience are in quarantine.

    Thanks. That makes sense.

    To answer my own question: most of the parts stay in just fine with friction. However the four little detail pieces on each ARMD carrier should be glued in with a dab of super glue otherwise they might fall out. I think I added all the bits in the instructions however two pieces were leftover. Does anyone know where they belong?

    The SHF Buzz Lightyear looks dope. I might have to get it.
  17. Scyla
    Maybe a shade of red that goes more into the Fire Valkyrie direction. Or more pinkish like Mirages VF-31.

    @no3Ljm she will look good next to Bishojo Morrigan.

    I wonder if we will get a Milia YF-29. But you could probably use Alto’s YF-29 as a stand in.
  20. Scyla
    It is either not enough or too much blue to be Max‘ Valkyrie.
  21. Scyla
    The more I look at the toy the more it looks like Michaels Valkyries instead of Max‘. The white stripe running up the middle of the legs throw me off.
  22. Scyla
    Thanks. Placed an order. Now the waiting game begins.
  23. Scyla
    Preorder time for the YF-29 Max Custom is 4PM JST?

    I found what I meant in this video from Peaugh:

    What I meant is that you can unpeg the wheels from the side and rest them on the back of his calfs. But maybe I misremembering things. Now that I have more space for displaying my collection I should bring them out of storage and see if I still like them.
