I figured i might have (it's been years since i read it last), i know i was leaving some stuff out not to give away too much of the story, but looking over it... i don't know... Was it why the Predators were following the Aliens? Or?

Yes sir! That would have been the most logical thing to do IMO. I remember as a kid spending $25.00 (that was like all my money at the time, heh) on the whole set of AvP comics (4 Issues) when they first came out way back when. What a great story that was. If anyone hasn't read it, i def. and wholeheartedly recommend it. Basically a group of Predators (most of them young and untrained) are hot on the heels of an Alien Queen and her brood as part of their rite of passage into full fledged Warriors and/or Hunters. The Alien ship crash lands on some distant Human Ranching/Mining Colony and they run amok. Meanwhile the Predator ship crash lands soon after with a number of the Predators dead and/or seriously injured including the most Senior Warrior/Hunter (The Instructor). The remaining Predators proceed to hunt down the Aliens and anything else that gets in their way and you get the idea. Don't want to give away the Good Stuff. Read it and wonder why in the world they didn't use this as a direct source material for the first Movie. If they did it seriously would have given Aliens the Movie a run for its money in regards to how good it could have been and i'm not making that up.

Tough choice. I want to wait for the 2nd Release, because we all know if there's some serious QC issues they won't surface until nearly everyone on the boards has them, but i've been lucky with most of my 1st release Yamatos too (knocks on wood), so i'll most likely end up taking the plunge with a 1st release.

Noooooo! Just when i thought it was over.

Def. like the new skin, was starting to wonder why there was just the standard forum skin for the longest time heh. I'd say it's a keeper.

Lost And Found Toys. http://www.laftoys.com/index.php?cPath=42&...52f8791bbd89d66 The owner/manager is actually a member on the boards here (Los) and he's a good guy. I can personally vouch for their service.

Just about to post that here as well. As for the pictures of the third seeker, it's gotta be Thundercracker. The left is most likely Starscream due to the more realistic colors and the top right is actually more of a bluish hue... I hope we get some kind of confirmation and pics. soon.

I'm going to have to believe that the Strike Valks the VF-1S and possibly VF-1A are going to be the limited editions, if anything. They might still be standard releases, just maybe in different colors. Like a Roy VF-1S might be a standard release, but a Max VF-1S might be a friend shop exclusive or something along those lines. They've done it before with Prime (Standard Release) and Magnus (Limited Edition) and also with the Dougram Solutics, Green (Standard), Blue (Limited), so it's highly possible.

Oh Noes, not more exclusives.

If i remember correctly they were going to release a repaint Seacon set (that IMO looked horrible compared to the original or even the Beast Wars Second "God Neptune", but besides the point), and yes it was to be under the TF Universe line, but those plans were scrapped a while back i think due to the overall demise of the Universe line itself and the fact that they were having a hard time finding a retailer for them? It's been so long so i don't remember all the details, but yeah basically i doubt it's ever going to see the light of day now. *EDIT Heh, Wikipedia has a rundown of what happened at least partially. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seacons

I voted for Mirage myself. Never forget the episode where he snuck aboard the Decepticon's shuttle and committed some "Sabotage!". *MOVIE SPOILER*

Hmm, bbts had prime the other day, but it looks like he's on backorder now. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=898 I'd hate to say it man, but your best bet just might be eBay at this point, since most of the other online stores that have him are way over MSRP.

Damn, they should push back the August releases to September and bump this up.

Can't really say just yet mate, but i figure if it's in scale with the other revoltech releases so far it'll be around 5" to 6".

New VF-1J pics linked from the thread in Toys, just in case anyone hasn't been keeping up with that one: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...mp;#entry500363 Talk about Triple A. Absolutely Awesome & Amazing.

The promotional pictures of any toy/model/figure are going to look phenomenal since they have to use those pictures to convince ppl. to buy them, but that doesn't mean the toy is going to look radically different than what they show in the pictures. At least not for revoltech. Anyways, thanks to those pics. i'm more than a believer now. I've got pretty much all of the Revoltechs released so far and i'm not disappointed in any of them, except for maybe the amount of accessories some come with compared to others, but otherwise, the line hasn't failed me yet.

Where do you think the idea came from? Haha i kid kid. But i have to agree their battle damage paint apps. are nothing to really look forward to. I'm not really too much a fan of battle damage paint apps. period, unless they're done exceptionally well and i've never really seen that except by some of the good customizers we've got in the community.

Alternators Hot Rod as been confirmed as a SDCC exclusive this year. Probably like the Classics and last years SDCC exclusive (Nemesis Prime) that'll be about the only place you can get him... at retail that is. HasbroToyShop might actually have some up too like they did last year with Nemesis Prime, but that could be a huge hit or miss because the site was so wonky for alot of the ppl. trying to order them (myself included) that by the time things were resolved they were sold out to those lucky few who could actually get through to the site.

According to Botcon reports there was specific talk of Sideswipe & Sunstreaker. And if i remember correctly there was possible mention of the rest of the Dinobots and maybe Octane and Jazz. Not all in one wave of course, unfortunately that's all i can remember from what was mentioned for Classics. The official transcript is floating around here some where.

Yeah seriously though above all others if they could make a Super Poseable Revy YF-21 i'd be all over that.

Seriously, that figure has really grown on me now due to the poses displayed in that gallery Black Valk. Why couldn't the original have come with half as many cool accessories as this one.

Wow nice, almost looks like it could be a Canon Scheme.

Nice! Loving the Magnus & Prime fist bump. "Bros before Hos"

Heh, did you see the annoucement itself at the presser? Needless to say not many ppl. in the audience were thrilled at the annoucenment. Hmm, speaking of which all the links to the video of the annoucement seem to have been taken down. Anyways upon annoucing the "new" console, there was virtual science in the audience save for people actually laughing whether or not this was at the console or something else is unknown, but still heh. It was a good 30 seconds in before any one even started clapping, let alone the fact that it was probably only a dozen ppl. Not a good way to launch a console, "special" edition or not.

Dang, just when i thought i was getting tired of EVA's too. That Chain Gun has got me hook, line and sinker.
