Good review technoblue. Pretty much what I figured. Fun but flawed. I'll stick with my Takara prime BBTS's price? Maybe a Typo that they will correct? But no that makes sense. $170 + 20. BBTS will probably ask $190. I figured HLJ would get it for $140+40 bucks shipping due to the size. so $180. Then their Exhaust is like $90 bucks....- 17122 replies

That's cool. Seems to be keeping in line with the Tigertrack and silver streak repaints. I'll take a Marlboor. BTW here is a fantastic article about wheeljack as a diaclone, and a Joustra release. It talks about the Marlboor: http://www.tf-1.com/articles/pretf/joustralan_template.html- 17122 replies

Haha. My dad collects knives and guns, but he'd shake his head at me spending 300 bucks on a toy. I wouldn't trust him to buy one... he has problems using the internet. haha Yup nice of your dad. -

Never saw this film, but I watched Turtles Forever today and jesus christ it was good! I laughed my ass off for an hour straight, plus the ending was really cool and well done. If you haven't seen it I suggest you check it out. One of the best turtles stories ever. At the very least it should take the taste of this film out of your mouth haha.

Avengers: Age of Ultron, in theaters May 1, 2015
Gakken85 replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm reading the Age of Ultron TPB... It's pretty good. A little silly. Feel like I've read this before with all the Ultron stories and all the time travel stuff. It feels like Days of Future past for the Avengers. I don't see how most of this could even make it into the movie though and make any sense, like the Savage land. The Red Hulk. Or even the importance of the Vision. I guess they will strip it down well enough.- 398 replies

I'm sticking to 80's movies I loved, or really amazing robots. I'll get Marty and Robocop. Maybe an ultron from the new movie. But only a few per year. Lol. That was fun. Just called Umeda. Listened to a short message then got somebody on the phone. I asked, "Anybody that can speak english? American?" Hold music. Sounded like classical. This guy comes on and he understood, "Order number". Got the order number wrong, but then I corrected him. I think he caught like half of my words. He said " will send invoice. Please wait." I think they are sending the invoice now. -

Take some pics of those Hi-Metal Hazray My 2 cents on Hot Toys. I got into them last year and Just felt more and more un-satisifed with owning them. With my Transformers and Macross I can pick them up and transform them, get really fun poses... it's like two cool toys in one....HT's just kind of sit there. They have great sculpts and detail, but as toys they leave a lot to be desired. Posing is pretty limited and the engineering on the bodies hasn't evolved much past an ab crunch "evolution" in the last 5 years or so. The diecast pieces are a lot better, but still fairly limited. They really need collapsing areas around the knees and elbows to allow more life like movement so you can get decent bends, like with SOC's and SRC's. It won't look as seamless, but the poses are so robotic and stiff. I just don't feel they are pushing the engineering end and slowly increasing prices. But on some pieces like the MK1 V2... there are so many little pieces that getting any kind of poses means breaking the thing. Idk, might as well get a statue for some of them, as limited as the motion can be. My Silver Centurion, when I pulled the legs down for an A stance... it just kind of collapsed down on to the side of the hips. The paint just smelled terrible too, like a cheap knockoff or something. I really couldn't rock that dark candy red as it overpowered the rest of the suit and looked bad on my shelf. No going back after the diecast versions. For $300+ dollars a piece I just feel they don't offer enough value anymore. Plus they print so many of them they might as well sell them at Walmart. haha. The only HT I have left is the evil Superman, because I love that film so much. I'll be getting the diecast Robocop, but that'll be my last HT for awhile. Just not my thing. -

Thanks lolicon for the insight. I've had some orders take 3 days, but the main branch usually contacts me to put a hustle on them. It was something they'd just listed a few days earlier and a high priced item, so I hope they would be able to find it. -

Yeah I sent an email to Umeda and the international email. Emailed them again today and nothing. Tried to call too but I forgot it's midnight over there.
