    You know that feeling when you're hoping things are mis-transformed in official pics? 🙂

    Huh, another difference I didn't notice consciously! Good eye. Looks like they're leaving themselves the option to leave off the rear cockpit extension in future releases if they want to match the official design. Hmm, so what do we think of the feet in fighter mode, gang? They don't stick out too badly IMO.

    I like the price. Can't say I like any of the design changes. The LERX position in Armo Soldier mode is surprising, I didn't notice that before. I'd like it a lot more in a canon color scheme, and without the high-heeled boots. I assume the feet stick out too far in Fighter mode until pics prove otherwise.

    I also appreciate that they somehow captured the essence of the box art pose without him looking like he's squeezing one out:

    There's the money shot. About as good as I could have asked for.

    Yay! I won't lose any sleep then.

    Good to know. But I don't even care about the tariff stuff*. I'm just worried about them not getting any Treads, or not getting enough. *I mean, I do, but that's a whole different subject.

    Anyone else have the Tread on preorder from BBTS? I haven't heard anything and I'm wondering if they'll be able to honor my preorder.

    The terrible gaps, the bad proportions, the wrongness of the legs and shoulders...it might be the perfect Robotech toy!

    It looks bad but I don't think it's a Disney problem. It's late stage capitalism problem. Everything is enshitified, including animation. Lower budgets, hiring less talented/cheaper animators, using algorithms/AI to generate in-betweens and animate, manipulating vectorized images to animate instead of hand-drawing more frames, all that. People of course deny that animation studios even do this stuff, when it's proven they do. They will also swear up and down that anime is just as good as ever, when it clearly looks lifeless and sloppy next to hand drawn cel animation. Strong recency bias with anime fans these days.

    I've always had a thing for Ultra Magnus since my friend had one as a kid. The white Prime is what I was enamored by. Something about seeing Optimus in a totally different color blew my little mind. I've always been a sucker for repaints. I like the Delta Magnus coloring even more, and I assume they'll do him as well. But anyway, the MP Magnus toys don't include the separate cab bot mode, which is what I liked the most about the G1s. So hopefully the Missing Link versions don't have any weird concessions! I'm also really hoping for the Zs. And the Seekers, if they're even possible.

    Ohhh, this was when the forum hiccuped and posts were getting lost. I thought maybe I was going crazy, but it was the forum going crazy.

    What is the point of this post? Does anyone know? Three random pics of Global? Why? What's the point of this post? "It's the mustache." What's the mustache? What's the point of this post? A random Fire Bomber post/album cover? What does this have to do with Macross in the weirdest places?

    I bet it was a swap meet! My parents loved swap meets, and did get me some giant Transor Z/Mazinga toys from swap meets. Coulda all been bootlegs too (including my Srungle) as far as I know.

    Welcome to Kickstarter. The only way to sell something if you have absolute contempt for your customers. (Here's a good explanation of why I say that. It doesn't even touch on the standard multi-year delays.)
