  1. Heck NO! Been waiting for it to go lower than $75 without hunting some stupid TRU coupons since early Dec last year. Afaik, it ain't been moving at all. The shelving for it should have some obvious and severe discoloration by now. Yet TRU's still being such a douche for not discounting/clearancing it. I'll prolly just give in and get TC one of these days, tho. ::sigh:: --- At any rate, read some rumor at tfw that Wally's will be stocking Grimmey and Blaster, and both will be at least $2 cheaper than TRU. But all the Wally's near my area still do not have any TF nor TF aisle-section anymore when I visited today. I'll try Tarjey tomorrow since got some errands, anyway.
  2. yo! Voyager-class Blaster is up again on AMZN at US$22.99 : http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Voyager-Autobot-Blaster/dp/B00AMI5FPU/ Dunno what game amzn or their supplier is playing, but availability has been up and down since yesterday. The pricing never goes below US$22.99, tho. Friggin' bastards. I've had no luck hunting him down from retail stores the last couple or so weeks already. His cassette-minions (eject, rewind, ramhorn, sunder) are currently being scalped there, tho. Good luck to those who want him. edit: oh, and FoC-Grimlock, too: http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Voyager-Grimlock-Figure/dp/B00AMI5FN2/
  3. about a bajillion. tfw's saying around US$125 msrp, tho. At any rate, Springer and Metroplex looks awesome andTrailcutter's ok , but what the heck did they do to Blitzwing's head?
  4. So, I just got home from Tarjey and they got some TFs back. Mostly Beast Shenanigans crap. Lots of 'em, somehow. There was a bunch of FoC-Prime again and a lone FoC-Brawl. And the price for these FoC-dx? US$18.59 each. geezus...
  5. Of course not. Whoever was or were GU-11 hearing from in Seibertron was just simply mistaken to say Soundwave's scanner thingy was used to revive Skyfire. At any rate, was at TRU yesterday and saw the new FOCs (Sideswipe and Ultra Maggie). As usual, TRU jacked up the price at either $16.49 or $16.79 each. Really, TRU? Unfortunately, both the local Tarjey and Wally's don't seem to have any TFs anymore.
  6. They don't charge your card until they're ready to ship it.
  7. seibertron's rehosting 7dm.net's extensive pictorial of MP-13: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/extensive-pictorial-review-of-takara-tomy-transformers-masterpiece-mp13-soundwave-with-laserbeak/26604/
  8. here... edit/add: finally got the BD-version of Twilight Samurai from hk, so attached it as well. No more windowboxed viewing from the dvd version! just need subbed BD-versions of the rest.

    Vf-0 vs SV-51

    in case no one has told you, yet, you're just doing it wrong.
  10. Noticed my local Tarjey and Wallys seemed to have cleaned out their TF-aisles/pegs. Like, there's really nothing other than FoC-Prime and Vehicon. Two to three weeks of TF drought now.
  11. heh! so we gotta include a Rei figure now whenever we show off our Macross collection display, eh? not that there's anything wrong with that. thanx alot, kamadoma.
  12. saw this posted at tfw : Omega Supreme (year of the snake edition) US$99.99 (plus local sales tax): http://www.amazon.co.../dp/B00AQ1NP3C/ so, fyi.
  13. So CDJ finally listed it: http://www.cdjapan.c...ml?KEY=BCXA-719 Curiously, CDJ's states this in their description: Now CDJ's been known to have incorrect info from time to time, so try not to get your hopes up for english-subs since it's not in the official description from Bandai. At least, as of yet. Maybe our Japan-based fans can verify by directly asking either BigWest or BandaiVisual if english-subs will be an option at all with Macross Plus BD.
  14. welp! I'm watching it right now. The battle at the beginning was ok. Saito should be taller and Jin'e got As usual, Yu Aoi is fantastically looking. I'm sure this movie is a nice watch, but :sigh: The negatives I've found so far: I really wish they made this movie a really more serious adaptation. I think the actors they used here have the caliber to make it so. Just disappointed they went, well, I dunno, almost hong-kong style cinema. Can't even really say it's quite chambara enough. At least for me. Guess whoever was or were in charge of this production decided to make this really more mainstream and way too accessible almost generic movie. The positives I found: Nice high-level production value and quite detailed. The actors were great, even if some were typically overacting it *cough*Kanryu*cough. The courtyard mini battle with Saito was actually nicely done even if short like Saito. Oh, did I mentioned Yu Aoi is pure , yet? Anyway, my simple conclusions for it: It is fun movie to watch and all, but there's just so much deliberate wasted potential to cripple it so as just to give it a more mass appeal thing. I say if they should have made it in a more serious adaptation ala the Yamada-films and stuff. It really does have the proper production values and the qualified acting. I mean, in contrast, the old Lone Wolf and Cub TV-edition of the 70's was alot more serious and kickass awesome and that whole series probably had the monetary production budget of a high-school theater play compared to this Kenshin-Live.
  15. hmmm... :hail:
  16. Nicely done paneling! Anyone modded a Hikaru-version on their's, yet?
  17. He's the douchebag that protects scalper pricing. I saw him continuing to troll and spout his bullshit in seibertron-forum even after the TFW-thread was closed. As such, enough of that shenanigan and more TF pics instead!

    Macross 30

    So I just pre-ordered the LE thru AmiAmi. Would've been nice if it had some Ishtar art, tho.
  19. ok. Both Seibertron and TFW are blurbing this: http://www.seibertro...amazonuk/26472/ http://www.tfw2005.c...-for-35-176580/ Apparently, amzn.uk is accepting pre-orders for the Masterpiece Prime MP-10 (Hasbro-edition most likely). http://www.amazon.co.../dp/B00AJJ6H0E/ For just £34.99 (about US$56 or so in current exchange-rate) Somebody at seibertron-forum already verified with an amzn-chat rep that the item is being sold by amzn.uk directly and not by any thirdparty. So, good news to all TF-fans who can order this! And yeah, even tho I already have one, I'm still importing it. Much cheaper than TRU's US-pricing shenanigans. Estimated shipping is Feb/2013.
  20. Is that so? Well, guess I'm gonna temper my expectations a bit regarding Kenshin-Live's swordfights. I was hoping a bit more, shall we say, nicer swordfighting stuff since the OVA's impressive rooftop fights were pretty much directly copied from the old Shinsengumi Chronicles movie. Heck! Most of the stuff in Tsuioku Hen OVA were almost about plagiarized adapted from that old movie, anyway.
  21. Yeah. They're both long and slow, but the payoffs were pretty good. I'm actually looking more into how the presentation and acting in Kenshin-Live were in comparison/contrast to the Yamada-films, which are pretty excellent dramas. I mean, you like Kenshin-live alot in your review so I presumed it's really all good and not just another lame anime-to-live adaptation by the Japanese. If I may and if you haven't seen them, I would suggest a further comparo with Sword of Desperation and Samurai I Loved regarding the swordfights in Kenshin-Live. These two have very good acting and stuff and the stories were even rather longer/slower, but the damn swordfights in them are really boss! Much, much more intense than both Twilight Samurai and Hidden Blade, imho.
  22. Nice review, kicker773. Megumi is played by my idol Yu Aoi, so it should be good. Based on her alone. Anyway, hope we get it distributed here in the US. btw, do you think this Kenshin-live is better or about the same league as these two (if you'd seen 'em, that is):
