    I don't think that the 3rd party Transformers explosion has really taken off in Japan. All you have to do is look at the location of the vendors. There aren't to many Japan based ones that stock 3rd Party stuff. Most of the market is Outside Japan (US, China are the biggest). So with that in mind and considering that the main Macross market is Japan, I don't think it will take off with anywhere near the pace of the TF market has. Just speculation ofcourse

    I like this post

    Sometimes it seems beyond Bandai too. As as avid 3rd Party TF collector, I hope that _IF_ it takes off in Macross, they do what FansToys does and only tackle figures that we are unlikely to get otherwise. I don't want to see Arcadia and to a lesser extent, Bandai, competing with 3rd Parties.

    Apparently, according to a few of the 3rd party companies that participate at TFW, there aren't as many factories in China as we think that can pump out decent quality toys (Masterpiece quality). So Hasbro might not have much choice. Since this MP-09 KO has surfaced it will be interesting to see if Hasbro Asia (as they have been the ones pumping out most reissues lately) announce an upcoming rerelease of Rodimus. Then we will have proof that these KOs are the result of the factory pumping out extras to sell on the black market

    Well, considering my YF-30 is on its way via SAL, there is no way I'm going to be able to get a photo in before others take all the letters. So I guess I'll have to add an adaptor to my order Oh, and you have a PM.

    Wow. That is huge!!! Ratchets will be a problem.

    That Snarl looks nice but I'm not a fan of combining Dinobots. I'm sticking with FansToys for my MP collection but if I had space for a classic set it would be FansProject.

    I have high hopes for it. Looks promising so far.

    I know you're not shipping internationally yet but when you do maybe you could look at focusing on regions. For example there are a few of us from Australia who want stands so you could focus on that. It would make shipping easier. Just a thought

    The nail polish not working was purely because I didn't put enough on. I only did one coat when I should have done 2 or 3. But I just couldn't be bothered pulling it apart again. And I couldn't get the ankle to jump the tracks and come off either. And believe me, I tried REALLY hard. I'm amazed it didn't break. I was literally pulling with all my strength.

    Meh. I could live without anymore seekers. MP-11, Hasbro TC and Hasbro SW make a good mix. And the iGear coneheads are pretty awesome. Bring on something else!

    I managed to get the ball joint out of one foot without removing the pins. I was able to pry apart the foot enough. It is actually a two-piece ball joint, the top half is die-cast and the bottom half is plastic. I coated with nail polish and put back together. Didn't work I'm not doing it again though. It wasn't a fun experience.

    I agree. Anyone with an internet connection and 10 minutes is able to work out the difference. And he seems to be defending his well researched statements in the comments.

    True. But out of that mould Takara have already released Sunstorm and Acid Storm. But personally I quite like my Hasbro Skywarp. I like that he is different to the other 2.
  16. Silverstreak
    Every MP mould except Megatron has had multiple repaints. And in an interview Hasui stated that repaints are a big part of how new moulds in the line get funded. So I fully expect Space Brick to get his black repaint
  17. Silverstreak
    Yeah that Knight Morpher seeker mould is great. I have Thundercracker in my classics collection and he is a highlight.
  18. Silverstreak
    Yes. But considering it was such a widespread and well known issue, it was a reasonable expectation that they do something about it. Needless to say disappointment ensued.

    There you go! Send some YetiStand love down under
  20. Silverstreak
    Damn. C'mon, you know you want to send a batch to Australia!
  21. Silverstreak
    But they won't. Because Bandai.
  22. Silverstreak
    Nice. I will be ordering at least 6. I have a suggestion - I would use nylon nuts on the hinges/elbows. It will enable the stand's pose to be manipulated without requiring the nuts to be tightened all the time.
  23. Silverstreak
    That looks great! Hurry up and take my money already!

    Since they backed it HG are probably now gonna claim sole ownership and distribution rights for every potato salad outside of Ohio. Prepare for many a family lunches worldwide to start receiving Cease and Desist letters. It was Carl's dream after all.

    Sorry to see it's over. I would have liked to see it funded purely for the comedy/incompetence that would ensue. I just had a read of the most recent page on RT and counted 3 posts calling for the Academy idea to be scrapped for what the fans really want: Rick Hunter! (Shock!) Also more calls for Shadow Rising to be abandoned and left where it belongs. Good to see the Robotech future as bright as ever.
