  1. Btw, my Nora's still tight and stuff in full loadout. So I'm not sure what this "floppiness" stuff is coming from with other Nora owners. Of course, I don't have Ivanov's and the CF. Maybe those are the floppy-mess they're talking about? I also don't have the Brera-27 (or any Frontier-valk), but I seem to have read in the forum that the whole Frontier-valks (original and renewals) are prone to floppiness and breakage?
  2. That's because Nora was badass and Brera an emo little bitch. ++ to the maximum!
  3. also, much much much harder than the Roosters' original, tho the Roosters' live video was just damn weird... still
  4. "Happy Birthday". It's not an album, tho. Just a singles release. as for more pillows, this one's a fave of mine coz the montage somehow just goes nicely with the song...
  5. hlj re-opens their Prowl order-page, so get him at y4640 (plus shipping) while it's on! http://www.hlj.com/product/tkt47923
  6. It's not the SOC, but the SRC: http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/2010/mazinger_z_0
  7. testing the trident stage...
  8. AWESOME! It's all good. She'll just be expecting a great x'mas gift in return.
  9. Yes! My SRC troop so far: add: Original and Shin:
  10. My last TF purchase for now. Until my datsun-bros gets delivered from hlj-pw...
  11. Right. Most of us here at MWF can't afford to collect stuff. We haven't been posting pics of our collections over the last ten or more years here in the forum. Especially those multiple MISB versions of stuff. We don't even hunt for those hard-to-get and extremely rare items. Nope. We don't collect here at MWF. We can't afford it at all. MWF members can't afford to collect at all. We got no disposable income and no paying jobs. We're just a bunch of poor schlobs trying to fit in on anonymous board by willfully paying scalpers to jack us by about 200% and more of the price of stuff for no reason other than to say we're collectors. oh, wait...
  12. Welp! Got my first SOC today. GX-45...
  13. Ayup. Takara already made lotsa money out of those scalpers who scalped up all the limited supplies of SS, RA, and TT. They got paid already for their inventory and then some. Reckon it is really only the scalpers now that are trying to pull the guilt-trip card on TF-fans to not buy KOs coz they can't move their stupidly-overpriced scalped items when TF-fans opts for the cheaper KOs.
  14. Highly doubtful that you got a factory-reject/backdoor, as only TigerTrack had been reported to have had the factory-reject/backdoor-situation, and both SS and RA already are known to have been KO'ed. Also, misspelling is very unique to KOs. I reckon it is the first obvious difference between a KO and a legit/factory-reject. As to being "robbed", nah. I don't think of it that way in this particular situation. Takara made deliberate short runs on SS and RA, and scalpers are currently having a field day on charging way way too much for the legit versions that they've heavily scalped. Scalpers may even sell KOs as legits. Lots of legit-buyers got screwed with Out-of-Stock situation caused by the crazy unrestricted scalping that happened. So, lesser of two evils or something. If you can live with paint-issues and misspellings, then it's all good. Takara should just re-issue both SS and RA (as well as TT) and price them off more reasonably and have better availability.
  15. Just go to TFW's 3rd Party forum and scan for KO in the thread-titles.
  16. I still dunno the appeal of all these train-SRCs. Wonder why Bandai doesn't do SOCs or SRC's of Macross Destroids.
  17. Err, where have you been? They're usually referred to as "KO's".
  18. Not trying to give it away, but there will be drama in the later episodes.
  19. and the bridge bunnies. but Ruri rulz all! HAH! You'll need to rewatch coz...
  20. I wished Wal-Scream shelfwarm in my friggin' state like TC and SW. Never saw him at all in any wally's here. Not sure about Rodi and Grim if they shelfwarmed. I know I passed on them both when I saw them.
  21. I didn't know Walmart carried exclusive MP Transformers. I was speaking primarily of Toys R Us, since my experience has been limited to them. But in the two examples I've seen (Optimus Prime and Soundwave), they seem to be incredibly hard to find -- almost never in stock at the website except for short windows of time, having to stalk the delivery trucks at the actual stores, and then as soon as they arrive they get cleaned out. Meanwhile you see them all over eBay getting sold for hefty markups by scalpers. I can't believe that TRU is completely oblivious to all that. Even at my local TRU, when I asked them about MP-10 Optimus last year, the manager gave me this annoyed look and told me "We don't know when they're coming, people have been asking me about that one all week." T,FTFY. Wally's SW and TRU's TC. Shelfwarmers.
  22. Heads up! SoundBlaster MP-13B preorder is now listed at HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT47434/Sci 12640y (plus shipping-fees, of course).
