The Energon toys so far are a definate step up from the crap in Armada, with the definate exception of Optimus Prime. They're not perfect, but they are better. BTW, I really like that Prowl+Prowl combo, although Remy should not have use Rodimus' gun in that shot.

Who do you need? I need the M&M set and the 1D. Do you have them? That's the same three I'm missing along with the GBP set. I will be correcting that soon.

Not yet, I've been told that the stores in my area (Chicago) will be getting them in the next few weeks, a clerk at TRU said they were supposed to get them second week in May. The Binaltech versions are both at the Japanese store by my house for about $60.

Starscream looks interesting, if it ever makes it stateside, I might get it. The OP looks like c*** in truck mode, I probably won't get it.

Here's mine: Latitude: 42° 0' 30" Longitiude: -87° 59' 31" Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, IL.

Any idea how I can find out the coordinates for my area besides getting my own GPS unit?? I really don't need one.

Cool, I know where Racine is. There's actually a few MWer's in my area. dejr8bud lives around here somewhere too. My brother won one of his auctions for a Bandai VF-1J and the met face to face to complete the deal. Edit: Spelling

Quick question here, I grabbed an Ultra Magnus a few months ago to be the backpack for my regular Armada Super Prime, but it didn't have the minicons your pics have, it had a Space team repaint. Where did you get those pics at???

They have done that to me a few times too. The good news is the shipment must at least be coming if they are charging people. I'm just guessing here with my past experience with Joel, you should be getting your in about a week or so...

My Super VF-1J was broken the backpack joint twice, once when I accidently elbowed it off my desk, second time I knocked over my Bandai Super VF-1S and it knocked over my VF-1J again.

Gee, this is the quietest this thread has been in a while...

Well mine are: X-Wing Tie Interceptor (it rocks in X-Wing vs Tie, plus it looks cool) The Hammerhead from Space Above and Beyond The Star Fury Mk 1 from Babylon 5, not the Mk 2.

Guys, I just found this pic on the 2005 boards. It looks like a legit pic of a TRU edition of Stepper (Targetmaster Jazz). Could this be what Hasbro is going to release as Ricochet?? Check out the missle launcher and the missles.

I'm with you on this one. I'd also love a Ironhide and Ratchet reissue to, even though they look nothing like the cartoon charactors.

I am DEFINATELY getting one. I have a real hard time finding a vintage one that isn't missing accesories or scratched up, so this is perfect. I can't wait to have this one standing next to my Binaltech/Alternator Hound.

The colored dots would probably best for areas such as Los Angeles and it's suburbs or Chicago and it's suburbs (where I am). The size of the map needed to make dots represent each town would be too large to be practical, especially considering how many members live outside the US in Japan, Malaysia, Canada, etc... Using dots to denote geographical regions would be better.

The NB-36H wasn't nuclear powered, it just carried a nuclear reactor in a section aft of the wings. The plane was quite successful for it's intended purpose, which was to demonstrate the effects of a live nuclear reactor being onboard a plane, not to mention the only plane big enough to actually carry a 1950's era reactor was the B-36 Peacemaker. You're right that it would have been a diaster if it crashed. It probably would have been 10x the mess Chernobyl was.

I'm just waiting for a Dodge Ram SRT-10 to come out. That should be fun.

Actually, the biggest mass produced model plane kit is Monogram's 1/72 B-36D/RB-36H kit. I think the wingspan on it is about 40 inches with a 32 inch fuselage. I have it in my attic somewhere. Just for jets, I think the 1/48 B-1B (I think Revell made it) is the biggest.

It isn't me. That's the only server I haven't tried yet.

I wasn't aware that the Serbs even had any MiG-29's five years ago. I always thought it was lucky AAA fire that got it.

That kit was dropped by Yamato a while ago. They are not going to do it.

I know this is kinda OT, but any news on the Yamato Monster that is coming out??

Well, for me it's not enough room to display more valks and a bit of a financial crunch due to me buy a bunch of TF Energon toys. I really want to get the Max and Milla VF-1J's, but I don't have anywhere to put them right now.

That looks pretty cool, but it looks similar to TF Armada Sideways, especially the torso and the wheels folding up on the back.
