    I have a question. Are there any good online coop games available for the switch. You know where you can have a nice chat over Nintendos weird VoIP service and play a game together. We tried Splatoon 2 but the system when and how you can play together and talk in the same room together is so convoluted (if it is even possible since I leveled up to 10 and was still not able to play with my fried). Nintendo seems not very fond on online play (like we can't play together Mario Kart 8 together with other players online) and other software developers don't seem to include an online co-op to their games often (like Enter the Gungeon).

    In the picture the Strike Gundam was equipped with the Astray Flight Pack and 6 (?) Caletvwlchs right? On other news I got my Soul Blue Strike Freedom and I think the Strike Freedom is the one Metal Build toy I love the most. It just looks so awesome with the gold inner frame (I loathe the color gold) and the big angelic wing backpack (don't like that either) but somehow it all comes together for me. Looking forward having this one facing off with the Destiny Gundam Heine Custom while having their regular releases equipped with the Wings of Light add-on.

    I'm interested how this Metal Structure turns out. At the moment it is too expensive for not knowing on what it can to. So I'm looking forward to the first review. I wonder if they would do a Hi-Nu as a Metal Structure release since the Hi-Nu is my favorite UC Gundam suit. Obviously I would prefer the Nu, Hi-Nu and Sazabi as a 1/100 releases since they fit better in my collection but I could see me buying one of those as a one off, end all be all of all Mobile Suits toys.

    How many of the Caletvwlch should I buy?

    Lio Convoy seems like an odd choice for the next MP (well not really since it is a hero leader character) but the design of the toy doesn't look in line with the regular Beast Wars MPs. Which is understandable since he came from a different show that was not CGI. However I prefer a single design language in a toy line. That said as always I'm interested in a black repaint. I would love to get the Blitzwing but he doesn't have any place in my collection sadly. From watching a few reviews it seems like the design of the smaller ThreeA Transfomers figures is similar in style to the toys designed by Chemical Attack. I would say if you like high-end action figures like the KuroKaraKuri/Metal Build/Riobot robots you might be satisfied by it.

    Where is the speaker pod add-on set for the Siegfried?

    FYI: Mandarake has listed some Metal Build Strike Freedom Soul Blue variants. I assume they are from the May lottery. prices start at 38k JPY last time I checked.

    Bummer. Well I need to figure something out anyhow. In other news I built the Saturn V which is probably one of the best Lego set I've ever built. Could be the best but I might be on a high from building it still. Lots of interesting building techniques and creative parts use. It is amazing how they where able to get an almost perfectly round tube that is super stable out of an square based building system. Love all the printed pieces that show that Lego could do all printed sets if they wanted to (looking at you UCS Falcon). That said it is a bummer that they went back to stickers for the Lunar Lander. The build itself is a bit monotonous with lots 2x and 4x steps but you are building a tube so that has to be expected. Since there are subtle differences in the arrangement of the pieces you need to stay focused building it otherwise you end up placing sub-assemblies on the wrong side of the tube. The thing I enjoyed the most during the build where the alternating dark gray/white pieces for the inner "tanks" of stage 1 and 2. They remind me of the pattern on some old fashioned rocket livery which seems fitting. The only thing I would loved to see included are regular Minifigs of Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins just to round out the homage to the Apollo 11 mission. Now make me a fitting Space Shuttle to accompany the Saturn V, Lego!!!! Oh and something happened that never happened to me before with an Lego set: a part was missing. One of the 1x2 blue plates was nowhere to be found. Luckily I could substitute it with one form a later build step so no harm done.

    More Exias?

    Quick question. I need to move my UCS Millenium Falcon soon. Has someone figured out a good way to disassemble it into smaller more transportable pieces without taking it apart completely? Some people swear by Saran wrapping the set and than secure it with bubble wrap to secure it but I would rather partially disassemble it since it is really big.

    If I had to choose I would always go for decent pose-able hands only over not working hands that I need to switch out for transformation (looking at you VF-31).

    I have a question. There has been a big kerfuffle about posting pictures of this figure over at TFW. Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between this sculpt and the one from MP Black Arachnia.

    Was it always 31k JPY at NY?
  14. Scyla
    Funny, that was the exact point where I stopped watching too.

    Looking at the arms in combined mode it seems like they are comprised of one half arm bot and one half parts forming piece. Guess the combined mode will have next to none tarnsforming pieces.

    Oh, I also wished it would come with more Rebel Troopers. Two additional would have been enough for me. After I finished the Tantive IV I will probably build the Saturn V. 5 after 4 seems fitting.
  17. Scyla
    I'm building the Lego Tantive IV at the moment. Having built two UCS models (Slave 1 and the Falcon) I think they planned it as an UCS set. The instructions even include an interview with all the designers. I guess the idea was to use the new cockpit pieces of the UCS Falcon as the bridge section of the vessel and build the best possible Blockade Runner possible. Someway down the line they probably though that it is not enough for an UCS set. And I agree with their decision. The bridge section looks quite nice I just wish they would print the large panels. It is a shame that an iconic section of the ship looks like nothing without stickers (some would agree that the engine section is more iconic but I digress). Especially for the high price to part ratio of the Star Wars sets I think there was enough room to print the pieces. The Falcon cockpit piece is nicely printed! But I guess this is a reoccurring discussion with the SW sets since I remember there where some negative comments about the Slave 1 and X-Wing cockpit piece. Another thing I'm not too thrilled about is the white color. Comparing it to images of the real thing this seems to be accurate but Legos white has a yellow tinge that is unappealing to me. So I would have preferred a light, light gray.

    Dark Angels all the way!

    I voted for Windwaker Tetra and King Dedede, sorry

    I wish FT would reissue the Insecticons instead.
  21. Scyla
    Is there any engineering on FTs Roadking that can be used for the combined mode? I tried to look for it in the two reviews I have watched but couldn‘t spot it. maybe the four limb bots come with some Menasor BAF parts.
  22. Scyla
    I‘m looking forward building that Tantive IV. I don‘t like that they didn‘t print the cockpit details and that it isn‘t a UCS set. On the other hand I managed to align the stickers on the escape pod pretty well and I still need to find a way to display the UCS Falcon, so the smaller size is probably a good thing.

    Love to read your reviews Mike. I will get the Transform Elements one if they do him in black and teal.

    I just paid for my MB EVA-01 from Kapow Toys. I was skeptical if they could deliver this item since it was my first MB order through them. However it seems like they came through even if they are pretty late to the party. I don't mind waiting though, especially if it was a hassle free preorder after all import stores from Japan sold out.
  25. Scyla
    That VF-25 looks awesome!
