Make mine a Yamato as well. Bandai's got Gundam among other things to worry about. I'd rather Yamato continue with the license. For the most part they've done some pretty amazing things so far.

Looks good to me! Wish i had the skills and patience for that matter to customize something like this. Noice Job.

Unless you've got a better idea.

Dang, I thought the green was going to be more subdued. I know i'm still going to end up picking it up, but that doesn't mean i have to be happy about it... or as happy heh. BTW does anyone else think this GBP scheme would look good with Roy's Valk? I don't see any reason to slap it on Hikaru's VF-1J again.

Yeaps, I remember Cyberbots. Played it at my local arcade a couple of times, before I even knew they had previously made a beat em up involving a lot of the same robots. Pretty good fighting game. I picked up for my MAME as well but I could never get back into like I did when it was that arcade. I’m guessing it was the fact that I was using my old MS Sidewinder so the controls were a lot more clunky than they were on a genuine arcade cabinet. I’m sure if you had an arcade cabinet controller set up like Ladic just got it would be a pretty enjoyable experience though. BTW i knew Jin had something to do with Cyberbots since he and his mech were in it, but i had no idea there was a connection with Armored Warriors, but it looks like you're on to something there. Only skimmed through these since i'm still at work heh. Up on Wikipedia this is the brief information i could garner from both games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_Warriors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbots

A little clearer picture of RT Megs:

Noice! Man i haven't fired up MAME in years, i don't even know if i have it on my new comp. come to think of it. Looks like you guys have got some of the best hits, but i didn't see anyone mention the awesome, but often unknown Armored Warriors by Capcom. If you've played any of the other Capcom beat em ups from the 1990's you've got the basic idea. But it's got a new twist, you actually pilot Giant Robots from the get go. And by Giant Robots i mean stuff you'd find in the Front Mission Series more than something from Gundam or Transformers. After you defeat certain enemies you can actually pick up parts they drop and interchange them with your own machine, basically like picking up a knife in final fight or something along those lines... except that the new part stays with you until death or you interchange it again. There's everything from drill and flame arms to tracks for quicker mobility. I actually list it as my fav. beat em up topping even the awesome Alien Vs. Predator. Well that's my 2 cents. I gotta go find my MAME cd now.

Noice, I'm digging Megatron... Gaiking not really. I wonder what's on tap after this wave, i figured they would have at least a name/description of what was going to be dropping after these guys.

Thanks for the review F-zero. To tell you the truth i only read the last line, but that's all i needed to know.

Alright! So it is coming stateside. Better late than never but still. I remember reading about Hot Fuzz when they started production. Pure comedic gold.

Noice, you lucky dawg. This the first time you're going?

Ahh, there's nothing like the impulse buy. I'll be the first to admit i'm a recovering consumer whore. When i was younger, I used to buy all kinds of crap without thinking things through. These impulse purchases almost always led me to try and complete the collection that the specific item was attached to and would drain my disposable income quicker than i was making it most of the time. Impulse purchases aside though i think parents buying these for their kids are what's really driving this line. They figure they can kill two birds with one stone. Star Wars and Transformers it's like two toys in one! I know what some of you are thinking... "Well uh duh, Tom Cruise they are toys, what would you expect?" Granted they are toys but with how cheesy they come off as i really have to peg them in the toys for kids category alot more than i might say Alternators or even Classics.

? Huh? If that was addressed to me i haven't bought nor do i own a single SWTF. Are you buying them up? Had the toys been done to not like look like their pilot counterparts in Robot Mode maybe... Come on now Hair? What is this Space Balls?

Nothing. That's the only one i've even remotely considered buying. The alt. mode isn't half bad, plus it's the Death Star! To tell you the truth though I can't believe this line has gained so much momentum since the first releases.

Damn i should have waited a bit. I spent $45 bucks on a two pack from eBash because we don't have Targets down here.

Nice Find! I might have to run down to my local borders and pick that up myself. Man i don't know when the last time i bought a magazine was.

I remember that. Thought it was a pretty neat idea for it's time esp. because there was actually transforming shoes that tied into the ad campaign, although i was never a fan of the Rams though. If i recall correctly though the transforming shoes were a pretty limited release, i could have swore i saw a contest where you could win 1 out of total of only 5 in existence or something like that. I don't think they ever saw widespread enough production to be sold at retail. Could be wrong though.

Simply Awesome! If only the original releases were as detailed as yours are. Always Great Work.

Spiffy. I like your custom better than the official Roy scheme heh. Nice Job.

Wow, That is one nice figure. Looks pretty accurate too. Speaking of which I just picked up a Medicom Snake not but 2 months ago and I was pretty impressed. What you’ve said about it possibly being better than the Snake though doesn’t really seem like an understatement. Any idea how many are/were released?

G Gundam IMO was a steaming pile. Granted i haven't seen every Gundam Series, but i've seen about 6 or 7 of them now. I never got halfway through G though. If you like action i guess it's good to pass the time but other than that it's just one ridculous stunt after another.

Whoa, I heard you the first time. It's a Type-0 for a reason. Pssh. Hmm, i haven't dealt with BBTS in years, but they used to be super cool down there when they were a lot smaller retailer than they are now. It might be worth a shot, it's a legitimatly defective figure and shipped or not it would ended up having the same result. Overall i haven't had any major problems with the line. If you're really looking at picking some of the other ones up, i'd say go for it. As long as you don't get a turd like that defective Ingram was, i think you'll be quite happy with your purchase.

Wowza! Dangaioh looks nice. I’m def. picking one up. Zeroshiki… not too sure. I’ve already got the Ingram 01 and 02 so I think I’m going to be passing.

Hmm if you bought it from a brick and mortar retailer, they might be able to replace it. My friend owns a comic/import store and the same thing happened to him with an EVA revoltech he ordered from Diamond Distributors. He took it out of the package moved the leg ever so slightly and *crack* the joint broke. He told Diamond what happened and they replaced it. Good luck.

Painted Auction Pics of Alt. Rumble: http://tformers.com/ig.php?mode=album&...800&start=0 Hmm, i want to like him more... i just can't get past his bulkiness. I guess that's to be expected with Rumble and Frenzy though. Still, he looks alot better than Ravage.
