  1. fwiw... I have my own issues with BV, most especially with their DYRL-BD shenanigans. However, this upcoming MP-BD set is gonna cost me US$145, including shipping. I paid a very reluctant and regrettable US$175 for my DYRL-BDLE that cdj won't let me cancel coz of the "special purchase" shenanigans. Both Renato and Tochiro have had positive feedback on the MP theatrical-showing they watched, in contrast to their negative feedback regarding the DYRL theatrical-showing they watched. I just think this will be a much better buy than the DYRL-BDLE ordering-shenanigans most of us went thru. obtw, the only definite negative I can think of right now is that stupid busy box-art for this MP-BD still definitely sucks.
  2. Welp! Bought some kreon from the nearest tarjey at lunchtime: They got at least three full boxes there, so I was able to pick and choose. Hope I got the correct codes for these little thingies: 66 - Bulkhead 69 - Arcee 70 - Acid Wing 73 - Powerglide 74 - Perceptor 76 - Hoist
  3. Ok, guys. Somebody tell BigWest and/or Mr.K we totally need a life-size VF-1 now just to out-awesome this: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/05/23/the-46000-pound-x-wing-how-lego-built-the-worlds-biggest-star-wars-toy/
  4. Springer's back up at US$22.99: http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Voyager-Autobot-Springer/dp/B00ATA2T9Q/ hurry!
  5. fyi. For those still needing the voyager-class generations triple-changers, amzn is now listing Blitzy and Springer at US$22.99 (plus applicable state sales-tax, of course): Blitzwing: http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Voyager-Blitzwing-Figure/dp/B00ATA2SUQ Springer: http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Voyager-Autobot-Springer/dp/B00ATA2T9Q/ --- edit: As of this edit-time, amzn inventory sold out. Hope you got your orders in before the scalpers.
  6. Behold! My current kreons! I reckon they're a bit evenly matched so far. Obviously missing Ironhide and Wheeljack for more G1-ness, and I think I need more G1 Decepticons, too. If there are any actually available that's pre-movie and/or not comics-based. Oh, well. Fwiw, I've actually warmed up to the combiners after seeing my nephews put 'em together the first time, so I bought this second set for myself and also getting a third set for their individual modes. They're just so kewl!
  7. some snapshots while watching from a 7" tablet... not bad, i say.
  8. WOW! If only I'd known about that Asuka then...
  9. I say, get all the official versions...
  10. anybody ordering this? http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-000069 looks neat. wonder if there's an Asuka...
  11. I agree that Quakewave's the best available Shocky to get. Quite expensive for a 3p, tho. As such, the best official Shocky is still: Scales rather nicely with Springer and Blaster.
  12. oh, hai thar! old-school awesome...
  13. US Navy Drone launch on Carrier! Hello, Macross Zero ghosts era! edit: oh, obligatory equivalent Macross Zero Ghosts clip: http://youtu.be/HduEZ_MSzhg?t=5m16s
  14. already told he's quite short to be a Seeker, Blitzy then auditions himself to "Jetfire" for the exclusive and uber-badass GERWALK-mode A-stance club of the famous yammie Macross Valkyries... Blitzwing prolly needs to visit the Battletech/Mechwarrior-franchise next to audition for a Cauldron-Born role...

  16. Wreck-Gar: My 'stache really is more epic than your's, Scourge...
  17. Optimus: triple-changers, meet _THE_ triple-changer par excellence:
  18. Yup. Blitzy's jet-mode is gappy and stuff. You can try raptormesh's suggestion of going full-loadout on him with his sword, gun, and turret, tho: Blitzy's jet-mode also features his most critical flaw: gummy nosecone... The only way I know how to get the gummy nosecone less gappy (without diy surgery) is to do this: Imho, the gummy nosecone flaw is more fatal than the shoulder-tab issue. Hasbro's choice of both materials and materials' quality is quite unfortunate. Maybe Takara will use better plastic and stuff for their versions of Blitzy and Springer. Honestly, I was already quite meh on Blitzy's jet-mode from the first online pics coz it was quite an unhappy departure from his simpler diaclone/G1 jet-form. The gummy nosecone-issue just adds to the meh-ness. Regardless, for a $22.99 triple-changing figure, the flaws are mostly tolerable. I don't feel like I got jacked severely like I felt with my FoC-Grimlock purchase.
  19. movie-chars reunion, and Kup having fun re-enacting with Blitzy...
  20. dafuq? MWF being trolled...
  21. I don't have tfp-shocky to compare, so I can't really say. At any rate, moar pics of Blitzy in tank-mode (my fave mode). With Warpath!
  22. So I played with Springer more by getting him into his other modes and... Holy crap is he gaps-happy in chopper and vehicle modes! His pegs don't quite want to peg itself properly, too. Especially the main windshield and the back thigh-covers. The yellow-paint on his fenders easily smudges as well. From what I read here and other forums, I really thought Blitzy's the one who's gonna trigger some latent OCD in me. Yet it was Springer who's quite annoying me now. Despite all that criticisms, I really like Springer and he's really worth his msrp. Even being a bit gap-happy and stuff, it still is a very darn awesome toy! I just think I like Blitzy a bit more now than yesterday, tho. Springer's bot-mode is already pretty super. Definitely both are way ahead in worthiness and way way better in every aspects than my highly disappointing F(AIL)oC-Grimlock.
  23. moar pics! the new "Generations"... a little short for a Seeker... dude, you've got the touch to have grown taller since the movie...
