    Oh Metal Build over Metal Composite every day. The Hi-Nu is my favorite Gundam design so I would like to have a big representation of it with as many details as possible, even if it can only to a generic a-stance (in which my MG Hi-Nu is anyway). Just as a center piece of a collection. Not complaining about the MB offering in any way, especially when it comes with the splinter cammo on the shield and the purpleish blue paint job of the MG Ver. Ka.

    While I’m overjoyed by the MB Hi-Nu I think I might have preferred an announcement in the Metal Structure line. The Dynames Repair III looks great so does the Justice. Don’t know why they didn’t release the regular Dynames first but one can only be so disappointed in a new Metal Build release. I recently finished my watch of Gundam Seed so I hope the Justice will be released this year. [edit:] I’m currently trying to convince myself that I don’t need the SD MB Gundam [edit2:] Where is Eva Unit-00? At this point I would even settle for the orange version.

    @tekering huge handy hype?

    Good idea. However it has been ages since I participated in a PO night for Macross since Bandai doesn’t seem to release any toys. Or have I slept on various DX releases without even knowing that they are happening. Wait, is the DX YF-21 out already... Looking forward to all the Macross Delta: Zettai Live Valkyrie PO nights.

    I have a core roster of figures where I try to collect every iteration off (Skywarp, Nemesis Prime, Cliffjumper, Galvatron, Shockwave, Cyclonus) For all the other ones one Masterpiece is enough... ...with the exception of Kuro Kara Kuro where I try to collect every release. Speaking of which:

    I hear you but for my Transformers collection Downbeat is enough, might need to replace him with FTs offering if that ever comes out and I can oder it from somewhere. ShowZStore is already sold out and if Smokey is any indication FTs Jazz won’t be back for MSRP... ...but that is a discussion for another thread.

    @mikeszekely I think you forgot to mention the Fall of Cybertron Jazz from 2012 which might be worse than the PotP one. Anyhow thank for the review, Jazz looms good but I think I’m content with the MakeToys one.

    Thanks, ordered. Now I need an Arrow Head toy for my childhood video game shelf, even if it always reminded me of an RV when I was a kid and looked at the box art. Ideally the ship from Super R-Type but I would be up for an reissue of the A-Label Arrow Head. Does anyone knows more about the A-Label one, is it any good?

    After 40 more hours of Cyberpunk 2077 I can give a few more impressions of the game but first things first: We are now in a patch 1.11 world and somehow the last two patches made the performance much worse on my PS4Pro Now the frame rate is choppy at places it wasn’t before but none of the bugs seem to be fixed. You still cannot buy a PS5 in my country and I have the feeling that will be the case for quite some time. So nothing can be done about that. Now back to the game. It is still fun but it is frustrating that none of the games systems (with the exception of the combat) seem to be working properly. Few examples: Looting doesn’t work. It is sometimes impossible to loot an item directly in front of you. The dialog seems to be broken. The different options in dialog seems to cause massive mood swings in my female Vs voice going from jolly and playful to depressed and sad to cynic in the same situation which makes you character sound like a schizophrenic maniac at times. On top of that most of the choices lead to the same result and dialog options are sparse. In general it doesn‘t feel like you are playing as yourself but rather accompanying someone else and give him notches for her trajectory in life. For example Bioware did a much better job making me feel like I’m Shepard 10 years ago and in 3rd person. I think you could strip out all the RPG systems and make Cyberpunk a (mediocre) first person clone of GTA and it wouldn’t feel any difference. There are many more examples of this and none of the are impacted by a poor performance and I find it odd that none of the reviews mentioned that. No matter what CDPR says this game is unfinished and should be released in 2020 maybe not even in 2021. Even if you subtract all the visual bugs and performance issues it would still be a heavily flawed game that wouldn’t deserve a rating higher than 6 or 7 out of 10. While still fun it is frustrating to play because you can see that with more care this could be the masterpiece that we made up in our minds and CDPR advertised. For my next update I hope to finish the game till than and maybe can articulate my feelings why this game is only Cyberpunk by name. Night City is still gorgeous though.

    Black Star Saber looks great, hope BBTSlow will get theirs soon.

    The cockpit has now room for three Mini-Figs and the back of the AT-AT has seats for the Snow Trooper. All around it has a more accurate head and more brick built details and no stickers... ...and no prints on the dishes on his legs. I also heard rumors that one of the Lego Star Wars leaked sets could be an UCS AT-AT so maybe wait till those sets are revealed.

    It is my understanding that a transforming Ark will be coming in Kingdom as a Titan Class.
  13. Scyla
    Makes sense to me since the figures are crap; cheaply made with soft and simple sculpts and limited articulation. Especially compared with the high quality releases Hasbro is putting out in the main line. I‘m not against non transforming figures (Kuro Kara Kuri is my favorite toy line currently) but the WfC Transformers are better toy than the RED ones and they transform on top of that and for a comparable price. If you want to make the line a success you need to offer something that the mainline doesn’t have. Being lesser versions doesn’t cut it imho. Anyway thank you for summing up all the rumors @mikeszekely. If they do all the Dinobots in Studio Series 86 I think I’m in. I also would love more Commander Class releases like Overlord and God Ginrai.

    Comprehensive review as always Mike. After seeing how good the Earthrise toys are I’m looking forward to the Galvatron reveal. All other official Galvatron toys where underwhelming or too small (in concept i like the Universe tank version of Galvatron). Please don’t suck. The TR version was such a disappointment. Kapow should send out a payment request for Cyclonus any day now. I wonder if I will request their services in the future after all my preorders are completed since the Brexit is now official. Speaking of payment I hope BBTS will send out their requests for the Kuro Kara Kuri Black Star Saber out soon. They already canceled an order for a black repaint in the past so I hope this doesn’t happen to this one.

    I get why Cliffjumper and Jazz are hard/impossible to do given the required Porsche license and the Decepticons might suffer from the bad guy stigma (I can’t imagine that Skids would sell more units than Galvatron though). I would love to get a Rodimus, Ginrai, Overlord or Fire Convoy from Takara. Maybe version 2 of Soundwave or Star Saber. Not complaining though since I never bought the XTB Savant.

    Happy New Year.! I can already feel that 2021 is so much better than the blasted 2020.

    So apparently Takara announced a MP Skids and I’m confused. In the images shared at TFW2005 he looks much more in line with the style of MP before Ironhide: Skids never had all these leg details in the cartoon. This also means not much crazy engineering going on to hide all the car parts in robot mode. Is Takafa expecting us to pay MP Hound prices for this or will he be in line with the other car bots like Lambor and Prowl? Of course this is just a drawing and much can change till the prototype but usually this is not the case with Takara announcements.

    If you haven’t, you should watch Cyberverse. It’s good.

    I played around 15 hours of Cyberpunk on my PS4 Pro. Haven’t noticed any bugs after Patch 1.0.5. The game is a lot of fun especially after I gained a few levels and after imI got rid of the pea shooter the game gives you at the beginning. I’m still underwhelmed by the lack of depth and options in the gameplay and character development. This is especially jarring after you notice all the fluff, references and easter eggs they put in the game. It almost seams to me that CDPR hired 10 asset creatives for every programmer and game designer and now the core game is somewhat lacking but it is padded out with all this unnecessary fluff. Maybe CDPR thought creating assest for the game world would be the most time consuming part of the project while the other systems in the game would be far easier to tackle. Not saying the game is bad but it could be so much better. Definitely a case of overpromised and underdelivered and overall a letdown. As I said I’m having a blast playing CP77 but the game is not what was advertised (or at least not what I got from all the demos and coverage). I’m looking forward what more the game has to offer in the next 15 hours.

    Well, I guess it is time to look for a new TV then. Guess the new ones won’t come with ports for my SNES and Game Cube. Thanks for the input, Mike.

    I‘m playing Cyberpunk on the PS4 Pro with an HD tv and it seems to run ok for the most parts. Some late loading of the correct LoD model and some other bugs but nothing game breaking yet. What I‘m more concerned about is the core game. It seems a not well thought out and the implemented systems seem lackluster (character development, game mechanics, etc.) I hope that changes while I continue playing. One example is the lack of character customization once the initial creation is over. I have the feeling a lot more 3rd person interactions (and systems around your character customization) where planned (like how you could see your character coming out of the elevator in the first mission that was present in the demo). But this was all scrapped, maybe due to lack of resources/ experience. Which is fine but i have the nagging feeling that many systems in the game where cut back in that way which makes me wonder what CDPR was doing the whole time. Maybe CP77 was too big of a departure of what they know/are able to handle after the Witcher 3. Open World games are hard to implement properly especially when you add a whole RPG on top of it. [edit:] Two more things I noticed. The GUI seems to be implemented with the PC in mind and doesn’t seem to be optimized for consoles (i.e. best played with mouse and keyboard). Speaking of the GUI it is tiny. I’m playing on a 37 inch TV and sitting 9 ft away from the screen and I can’t read most of the information on the screen like what button to press, how much items to replenish my health with are left etc. Is my TV too small or is this present on bigger screens too? The same issue made RDR2 unplayable for me. Thankfully not every element is so small.

    Because they look cool? The Spiderman one looks awesome with the exception of the head. Too much like a regular Spiderman head and not enough like a helmet.
  23. Scyla
    I think it is 10 posts.
  24. Scyla
    Well, they made a RD bust of the Neo Zeong. So why not?
  25. Scyla
    You say that as if it is a bad thing!
