    Got the order confirmation from HLJ but the item is limited to 30 units per customer so I assume it is not a valid order and they cancel on Monday.

    I know, but I don’t want to pay upfront. Kuro Kara Kuri Megatron is supposed to be released this month.

    Ah bunmer, I’ve didn’t know it would go up today. Oh well given how poorly the original F91 did on the aftermarket I’m not to worried about securing one after release.

    I tend to agree.

    *gasp* Is that a Hi-Nu Metal Build?
  6. Scyla
    I agree this looks great. Are there any robot-mode images?

    I think the issue is twofold. 1. While Transformer jets mostly are airplanes with wings tucked onto the fuselage they have a distinct bulky body shape that Maverick is lacking. I can understand it is not appealing to TF fans; it doesn’t look like a Transformer. 2. While I don’t habe the toy in hand from the pictures the plastic quality seems to be awfully gummy and translucent looking. Doesn’t look like a quality toy to me. Also while Transformers are sporting mostly a colorful deco Maverick seems bland and uninteresting. The two things combined seems to be a big turnoff for TF fans. I‘m a big fan of transforming jets and the looks from the promo pictures alone make me not want the toy.

    Ideally you should watch M7 one episode per week. Which is the way it was meant to be. Don’t Binge it.

    Thank god it is not the Hi-Nu I probably couldn’t resist that one even if it is a glorified statue.

    I would say that it is not the pose of Downbeat that invokes the imagery but rather the angle of the picture because I can see it too.

    @captain america While these resin kits are not for me I have to say I absolutely admire your talent and dedication that go into making these kits. Thank you for sharing these behind the scenes images with us spectators on the side line.

    I think I need to reevaluate some life decisions. Like not to collect more GFFMC toys.

    Has anyone experience with anime-export? I ordered and payed for the MB Full Cloth but got no confirmation email or something. The oder page just shows Standing not payed. What does that mean?

    But Barricade is a despicable, ugly character.
  17. Scyla
    I would totally buy a G1 MP Barricade Bader on a 1984 Ford Mustang police car if Takara or a 3rd party company would make one. Same goes for Drift, Bulkhead, Windblade and Slipstream.

    I have a preorder with BBTS for the same price. It is like a decade old. I wonder if they will honor the price whenever Berserk comes out (if ever).

    Interesting, I always thought that the latter one was the title of this thread. Anyhow, I started to watch Bleach again. Back when it aired I dropped out during the Hueco Mundo arc. With thr arc being so similar to the Soul Society one and having to wait a week to move the story forward a miniscule bit forward just to find out that there was another filler arc I lost interest in the show. Now with the news that Bleach will return in 2021 I thought to give the show another chance or at least finish the Aizen storyline. I wonder how it will play out this time.

    I‘m a big fan of FansToys Maverick, while not a perfect Concorde they did an admirable job at cleaning up the underside. The only thing missing is a panel to hide the thighs and a correctly done nosecone.

    As far as I know the big sword was a freebie for PEs 10th anniversary and was originally designed for their Origins Leonidas (Leo Convoy). That might be the reason why it is not featured in the instructions since the base toy is a retool/repaint of their Jetpower Revive Prime that didn’t have this sword. I have the black version of Origin Leonidas (called Xerxes) somewhere and I can check if anything about the sword is mentioned in there.

    Got my MMC Probus in and he is... ok. I really wish they found a way to collapse the legs and upper arms. He is just so blocky and angular and that prevents him from being more poseable. I also wished he had a double jointed knee for better. Playing with him feels limited since every time I try to get him in a more elaborated pose the range of motion is not enough. He also has cuts in his square thighs. Hate to see it. On the plus side he is a joy to transform and besides the blocky limbs the sculpt is excellent. Overall I think I like Volatus the best from the set even with all his shortcomings. Probus, Impetus and Fraudo are right behind him with Incursus being dead last. Which is a shame since Onslaught ist my favorite Combaticon. His proportions are just too far off. I wished they made the lower part of him bigger and bulkier to counter the elongated torso and collapse them for combined mode, plus a way to give his torso more definition. MMC knows this is an issue since they try to hide where his actual wist is with a paint app. And while I like the all in one design I can see how a well made waist and upper leg piece could help with a lot of issues this set has. During combination Incursus just flopps about at his many joints needed to make his hips into Assaultus‘. Need to find a way to display them in bot mode with Onslaught in the back hiding his lower part of the body. Maybe FT will make the Onslaught of my dreams soon. These toys feel like they where lifted from the Reformatted line. Solid chunks of plastic that are fun to play with. Because of that I feel like they have a hard time fitting in with an overall MP collection and MMCs own OX line.

    Seems to be getting back to normal again, the last few items arrived in reasonable time. No more free shipping for me though. And keep in mind I live in Europe.

    Finished Build Divers Re:Rise yesterday. It is a good series but it went almost full Gundam and the Gunpla itself has no real impact on the whole story. Build Fighters: Try is still my favorite ofthe Build series so far.

    You should contact your retailer or MMCs customer support for a replacement. They are usually responsive to sich QC issues
