    Ah I guess it is afternoon.

    I imagine when the Japanese folks wake up they will sell out.
  3. Gakken85
    CDJapan has sold about 1 per hour since about 1pm EST. It's really nice how they only allow one per person and they show you how many are in stock. I wish more sites were like that with these smaller releases. haha. I'm gonna go ahead and grab one since I don't have anything coming into stock with HLJ until August. If more open up there it'll just sit in my warehouse for a month and half. Registered air mail is only $30 bucks.. I got 3 bucks off for signing up in points $166 shipped ain't bad. 18 left

    Best looking Transformer I've seen in ages. Cave man! Cave!
  6. Gakken85
    Awesome. haha. Most def. a pass for me

    You got a magic toy teleporter that does all your shipping? With the size of this thing I bet it's 40+ Even if you pack it with other items it's gonna cost something.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Cuz it's 2014 and for 200 bucks I want some posing power

    Citizen Stacks looks... good. But it still doesn't look as good as UM in my opinion. It just strikes me as a little amature-ish with the groove lines. You look at it and say.. Ok that's a third party. His proportions are better, I'll give him that...but the official effort calls to mind the figure more. I think if they changes the forearms and the face a bit it would be a lot more engaging.

    Oh it's going to be annoying.. I bet the articulation will be restricted too. This guy will be as big as a 1/12 Votom. I don't think it's an afterthought because that's what the designer envisioned for the line from MP-09/10 on. Scale. People argue about scale relentlessly. And it would still be a transformer... just as much as a VF-1 Transforms, and Mp-10 transforms. He would just have upgrade parts as it were. Ultra Magnus is suppose to be an armored prime. No more, no Less. Not half of prime and a bunch of folded up bits. I don't get the obsession with working the trailer into the transformation myself. Prime didn't have any integration... and the original G1 was just a shell. I see no real up side to this design other than people can claim... "It's not a parts former (In relation to the cab)." Great. But is it a mess in the back? Yes. Kibblefest. Will the articulation and posing be limited? Probably. (You can see the arms barely bend at the elbow, and the legs look like a nightmare to position. No waist to speak of. ect) Is it going to be out of scale in the form that most people display it in? Yes. Will the transformation be a pain in the ass? Probably. I guess most people are just saying, "Close enough, I'll take it." Which is fine but I'll be interested to see what QA and durability issues come out of the Arm hinges. You look at the back of this thing and it looks like something that came out 10 years ago. A guy on TFW did a nice mock up of taking some of the chunk out.

    Also, Looper was fair at best. Not sure I feel excited about him taking a movie or two, but still... anything is better than what Lucas did.

    Pics of Utopia from somewhere...

    He was never depicted as larger than prime by that margin. In the cartoon, the movie, or any comic art I've seen. I guess you could make a case that the G1 toy was taller. I understand that they had to make the cabs the same size to make the cars in scale, and I appreciate that limitation... but personally, I'd much rather have a mp-10 repaint with some super parts or Grenade box armor or something. I bet the articulation would be better, there would be less kibble, and you could display it as white prime if you wish. It would be a little boring, but better in ever respect.

    I like the blue. I like the head and the colors. So unique. Just not a big fan of Bandai Frontier valks so I'm on the fence.
  16. Gakken85
    Looks like the Avengers pretty much changed cinema. You're going to see IP's that try to create ongoing "universes" where characters rotate in and out and they build stories. I'm all for it. I just hope they keep up the quality.

    Whats paypal got to do with it?
  18. Gakken85
    Hmm. EMS is 50 bucks. A little high but not terrible.
  19. Gakken85
    How much is shipping?
  20. Gakken85
    SDCC stuff. Sorta.. kinda cool...too bad the designs are still shite. Why does swoop have two heads? How does he know where to fly?
  21. Gakken85
    Woops wrong thread
  22. Gakken85
    I'll wait til I see a review before I even think about it at this point.
  23. Gakken85
    BBTS has it for $89 + 8 = 97 Robotkingdom has it for $64+ 24ish = 88 As usually BBTS is a ripoff
  24. Gakken85
    Benson13 is a cool macross bro! haha Bumblebee look great. The alt mode seems a little elongated from the top, but oh well.
  25. Gakken85
    Yeah I mean Transformer fans are wide and varied. You have guys who hunt the $10 dollar walmart pieces, and guys who only buy MP's. It's a massive network of people so there is always something new updated. The downside is that more people = more jerkoffs.
