    No worries, I‘ll wait for the full review then.

    Thanks for the info about the mask. Has he similar engineered knees like Drift with multiple moving pieces?

    Well I think after the disappointment of the performance of the TLK movie they decided to put the visual aesthetic of the live action transformers into a different direction. By that time HasTak was probably close to finish the design on MPM Bumblebee. It probably would cost them far too much to incorporate these changes as well as delay the production and distribution of the toy which was probably already slotted for production in their factories so it didn't make sense for them to halt production. You could see this with the toys from the first Bay movie where HasTak hadn't a good idea of what these would look on screen (I think the designer said that in one of the recent interviews translated by TFW) thus the toys where fairly inaccurate to the movie. Only with the next few movies they got a better grasp of what these looked like and the designs where more faithful (RotF leader Optimus, the Human Alliance line, etc).

    I‘m super excited about Tarn. I‘m a bit confused what the difference is between the regular mask and the one added to the D4Toys orders.

    Pure awesomeness. Please let me know what you think about the die-cast finish on the Aile Strike.

    I know I'm late to the party but I tried to place an order for the Soul Blue Strike Freedom lottery with FromJapan and ZenMarket. FromJapan flat out said that they can't order that item. While I could add it with ZenMarket I wonder if they can actually place me in the lottery. Has anyone had experience with ordering lottery items through ZenMarket? So a few questions come to mind. I know that the lottery is still open but I wonder if ZenMarket already reached their order limit for the lottery tickets. Any news on that? Secondly, if I don't win or they can't put my hat in the ring, are there any service fees for transferring my ZenMarket funds back to PayPal?

    Uuuh, I‘d love to get Super Parts for my green VF-27 beta.

    Oh man, they inflated the price quite a bit. The MB EVA was also available at a mark-up.
  9. Scyla
    I wish they would to an hand option set for the Delta Squadron where the index finger is bent on the articulated hands and that can hold the gun pods properly.

    Hm ok, I will keep that in mind. It is so nice that GSC gives you additional wrist joints with their Figma releases.
  11. Scyla
    Is there a way to buy additional wrist joints for human S.H.Figuarts? A quick search unearthed a bunch of Revoltech joints but none for SHF figures.

    If you live close to a physical LEGO Store and it is a common part (in a common color) you are missing you might be lucky and get it straight from the store. I had this once where I just walked into the Store and they had exactly the piece I had lost. If the store is not really close it is probably better to go through the replacement service.

    Got my MB Destiny Heine Custom last week and although I'm not a fan of the color orange something about this figure works for me. It is quite stunning. The mold is still good but I think the legs could be a bit more bulky/stylized/proportionated. They are pretty straight compared to the rest of the figure. So I guess I need to get a variant of the MB Strike Freedom to balance out the shelfs.

    I hope for a MB Justice Gundam but it will probably be the EVA-00 unit. Is it sill possible to get into the lottery for the MB Strike Freedom and if so how do I do it?

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Got mine from HLJ today and sure enough it has a broken head laser. At first I thought the tip was missing since it was nowhere to be found. Luckily it hid inside the Valkyrie. I‘ve asked HLJ if they can do anything about it but I guess I have to glue it back on. I‘m debating if I should pin the part also just to make it more secure.

    The internet.

    For me what makes a Transformer a Transformer is that you can see what vehicle it is transforming into from a look at the robot mode. Utilizing shapes that aren't suppose to parts of a humanoid body as such (like the forward fuselage of a jet as a torso). As a kid I always looked at some of my Lego spaceships and imagine how they could transform. Like that cockpit could transform into a foot, etc. On that AoE/TLK Prime you can't really tell what he transforms into so for me that doesn't sit well with me in a Transformers context.

    Yeah that HLJ site is a crappy untested mess. Same goes for the new amiami site and NY that break under any kind of stress.
  19. Scyla
    I was at the next screen at HLJ and then got a timeout -.-
  20. Scyla
    Impossible to order through this crappy websites those Japanese etailers keep deploying -.-
  21. Scyla
    There is no order button on the HLJ page -.-
  22. Scyla
    Hm... anyone having luck ordering this one?

    HLJ hat a major overhaul of their website in the last few days and not everything seemed to work properly. I had to reset my password to log in so maybe there is a similar issue with coupons. I would just mail their customer support and ask for clarification.
  24. Scyla
    So which thread to follow for links to the preorders?
  25. Scyla
    I went ahead and preordered Set A and B for the 1/60 Valkyries. Hope it will get enough preorders. Good thing is that I have two naked VF-1S from Arcadia and since they don't seem to do standalone SSP sets anymore they are prime candidates for this add-on set. Do we know if the original designer for the Thunder Hummer is on board for FextHobbys endeavor?
