Yeah.. I'm not sure. I try every setting but something is a little off. Not sure what else to change... What modes and such do you usually use? I just turned off the AE illuminator.. maybe that's what it was.- 17117 replies

Thank you much! I'm still playing with light angles and getting my set up going. Hopefully my video reviews will be a lot sharper too! Light-ooohh! But yeah back to your collection Plastik - I like how you have a lot of room for each piece and a very focused look. Good job!

I think you have the wrong forum. Move along. haha

Maybe he's a tiny guy... I'm amazed collectibles don't come in collapsing boxes. You think the Japanese would be all over this with their limited amount of space. But yeah, maybe we should mention it on Arcadia's twitter.
-
Everything they are doing is made to order though, it seems. So they are only producing as many as people want for each release. If people save up for something later, and pass on something else, then fewer will be made and it will hold more value. As long as they are seen to have more value and the "ultimate" release with the stands, art, and maybe some improvements? It's a win-win for real collectors. Yamato made huge runs and just waited for them to sell. They probably had very little cash on hand. Plus Arcadia has all their creepy Mcgee money to fall back on.

Sigh. Maybe somebody can message Mr. K and send him a photo of how Bandai packs a goddamn box haha.
-
Honestly.. I think they should just make a head pack so you can mix and match. And then some sliding color decals! Red, blue, green, and yellow. haha. Then just do a V3 and really jazz it up with some extra detailing or diecast.. Put it at around $250-300 I'd buy that rather than tons of color releases.

Hahaha. I can always put him in the new Armor parts

I'd read up on Rodimus. I Know the Takara release had some issues and it's a pretty difficult transformation. It's one of the few where the Hasbro version is superior in terms of quality and the arms were retooled. You can get the Hasbro release for like $130 bucks or so too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Masterpiece-Hasbro-Rodimus-Prime-Hot-Rod-Near-Mint-/290964002807?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item43bece57f7 I had one in the box and sold it because I never cared for him as a character and most of the pre-10 releases are spotty. I'd look for one on auction on ebay with a late night time.- 17117 replies

It's possible, But I don't know what they'd improve on the mold. Maybe remove some of the gimmicks and diecast, for some articulation. Maybe more articulation in the fingers... but that's pretty minor. Maybe a bit more play in the feet but you can get a zillion poses out of him without shifting ankles because of the wide feet. It's such a faithful representation of the G1 and already in scale, as he's a bit taller than Prime/MP-10, I doubt it would be high on their list. When it's not a real life or realistic alt mode you can do whatever you want. But it's all speculation. I really wish they'd get to doing the rest of the Dinobots. Swoop is a big wish for me. We know next year will have: G2 Lambor Bumblebee Wheeljack I'm betting Galvatron will be released as a "big" MP and the next destron. I'm also betting we'll see a Mirage and Jazz next year, and likely a Star Saber if he wins the 30th. (Which after Wheeljack will be the most exciting release for me! haha) That will take us well into the middle of next year I reckon.- 17117 replies

Well just because it doesn't sell out fast doesn't mean it's not a small run. Lots of people have versions of prime already. And it's $300 bucks off the bat. The Mp-08 sold faster because of the box and people are just nuts for Grimlock! haha.- 17117 replies
