yeah, they look pretty cool and all, I've been thinking about getting them for a while. The best point to get them I think is the fact that WST Megatron in gun mode fits in 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime's hand .

nice job on the recast as always Rohby. For me, a neutral gray is fine, but if you want to give us more colors, thats cool too . Wheeljack, I dunno, I kinda like it, kinda don't. I'm waiting for more finalized pics of him and Shockwave before I decide.

OT, KOTOR related. From what I understood, Revan and Malek fought against the Mandalorians. It's Jolee who fought in the Sith Wars with Exar Kun and Nomi Sunrider.

either way, its a pretty cool looking photoshop. on a side note, Alternators and other Transformers are on sale at Target. Like 15% off on Trasformers. The $17 Alts compelled me to buy Silverstreak. Now's hoping they'll drop Grimlock on Friday, pick him up finally.

hmm, I thought the red alpha had a more deeper wine red color. maybe I'm just thinking of the gekken alphas. I'm still on the fence about getting the MPC Alpha. I'll probably go for the standard green variant if I do decide to get it.

awesome work polidread!

Honestly, any of them would be cool IMO, but I voted for my valk, the VF-4.

Right now we have Grimlock as new Mustang and Swindle as a yellowr Jeep (repainted Hound) out right now, or in the near future. Only confirmed future Bin/Alts are Windcharger(?) as a Honda S2000 and Battle Ravage as a black Corvette repaint of Tracks. Binaltech/Alternators webpage The above site is a pretty good one which keeps tabs on Binaltech/Alternators.

Huzzah!!!! This is what I've been waiting for . Time to pick up that non-fp 1/48 VF-1J I've been putting off. Or maybe I should get the reissue VF-1S Roy. Either way, I'm definately getting the 1/48 GBP, no doubt about that.

I'm gonna check out the Val Surf store in Thousand Oaks, CA this week, most likely Wednesday. If they have any, I'll pick up a couple. I'll post back with confirmation if they do have any available or not.

Definately the name factor is the biggest reason I think. Robotech is just the known name of Macross in the USA. You'd think with the internet these days (They have the internet on computers now ) people would do some more research, especially since alot of auctions on ebay use robotech and macross synonymously. I remember seeing Robotech on TV in my youth and I owned a Jetfire. Years later, I end up on ebay looking up Jetfires and find Bandai Macross Valks going for insane prices (this was around the whole Toycom deal, during the tough times of Macross collecting). DL entire Robotech series, just an awful mess, bleeding ears from Reba West singing, etc. On a whim decide to look into this "Macross" people keep metioning in some auctions for valks. Find the old MacrossWorld Forum, discover Mac+ and the rest is history. Toynami Veritech is okay, but definately not worth retail $80. I'm tempted to get the Jack Archer YF-1R cuz of the color scheme and its animation error head. Plus its going for $30-$40 on ebay, not a bad price.

Yeah, 3000GT is a bit overrated IMO, its too heavy. I think the Acura RSX or Mitsubishi Eclipse would be a good Cliffjumper.

since some of us have been putting up pics of G1 Devastator and SuperLink Devastator, here's a crazy awesome looking resin/diecast Devastator statue prototype for auction on EBAY being talked about over in the TWF2005 forums. Awesome Devastator Statue The detailing is just sick!

here's my rant on Darth Maul. he gets sliced in half by Obi-Wan at end of episode 1. Okay, thats fine. Then they set up for the start of what war, the CLONE wars. why Darth Maul is not cloned and reincarnated is a mystery to me. General Grievious, looks cool, but definately comes out of left field. I just don't know what to expect from him/it.

I heard the trailer or whatever makes this movie look cheesier than stuffed crust pizza, but thats what my friend said . The Thing looks funny in the pics, I can't tell how big he is, but I always thought The Thing was around the size of the Hulk. Not as big, but close in size.

I played the demo, its alright, just another FPS. It was definately choppy and the AI wasn't all too bright, but that could've been because it was a demo.

Nice, I gotta hand it to Lucus, he knows how to put together a good trailer. Will most likely go see this.

Southpaw Samuarai, I whole heartedly agree with you about the Battle of Minas Tirith. In the movie, it didn't feel as long and drawn out as it should have been. In the books, the seige of Gondor lasted for weeks, right? (sorry, I haven't read ROTK since before I saw it in theaters) In the movie it seemed much much shorter than that. It just wasn't built up as well as it was in the book. And the whole thing with the Army of the Dead and how they dissed some secondary characters from the book who I thought were kick-ass and hoped to be in the movie (Prince Imrahil anyone?). Okay, enough of my rant on ROTK, I could go on all day . Even with all my gripes, I still enjoyed the trilogy, what they got right they did pretty well. I'm excited to see the extra footage in the extended edition, hopefully it'll make me like ROTK better, but like 1st Border Red Devil, I think Fellowship of the Ring was th best one of the three. Also, I like what they did with the Special Extened ROTK with the sculptures of Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul, I think I might get the Special Extended ROTK.

looks really nice. I too have been following on and off since the Homeworld 1 mod, now I must go find HW2

yeah, thats utter nonsense to have exo-squad toys for that much. I remember when those things were on clearance for like $5, even the bigger E-Frames, should got some then.

I've seen some Star Wars Unleashed at Target, though they only had Obi-Wan. Oh, EBGames and GameCrazy might carry them too (I've seen McFarlane's at some EBGames, though mostly the sports ones)

Just got my Alt Meister from Walmart.com today, he's pretty sweet overall. The colors are off on roof pillars and around the doors/windows. Its not too bad though, and I'll be keeping him in bot mode anyway, so its even less of a worry. My only real gripe is that it looks like they glued the handbrake on backwards. I know this is the case on some Alt Meisters over in the TFW2005 forum. Meister is nice enough for me that I might get the red version too, but I'll probably wait to see what the Decepticon version will look like. Grimlock is looking pretty nice as well, will definately be getting him because he's the new Mustang and he's Grimlock!!! Final question, any other sites to order Alternators from besides BigBadToystore.com and Walmart.com? I've been ordering from Walmart, but they don't pack them too well (Toy and plastic bag filled with air). My Dead-End came okay, but Meister's box was all crumpled on one corner. I heard BBTS packs pretty good, but I wanted to know if there were any other e-tailers around.

Nice, I heard about the no-allergy cats. I'll try to keep the thread going, though this is from last week Ipod photo New Ipod with color screen to show photos. Frankly, I'll wait for the video Ipod thank you.

I delved into Magic briefly during the unlimited days, got out of it after Arabian Nights expansion. I always thought you could only summon creatures after placing lands and before going into combat, but there are all these new-fangled rules and such nowadays. Anyway, Black Lotus's were $$$ back when I played and I'm pretty sure they're $$$$ today, especially since yours are from Unlimited. Check around, but you're holding a couple 1/48s with FPs in your hands there

The game sounds pretty good overall, I'm anxious to play it, though it won't happen till about Christmas time for me (brother has PS2 on the opposite coast Me=CA, him=NJ) but I can wait. I hope by then the AC5 Flightstick package is still around, I think I'll be picking that up, well, depending on the price though. Question, can the stick be used with AC4? How about being able to possibly plug it into and use on the computer?
