    I got my Mirage Figuarts Zero...Looks good but I don't think I'll be buying many more statue figures.

    I've ahd the same issue with FP but spanner's case leads me to believe it's probably just poor paint jobs that get eaten. Anyways, I'm ready to order M&M as soon as available.

    Shipping prices seem to be changing at all the main Japanese online retailers recently. I've noticed an increase at NY but typically, amiami has the highest rates. Before recently, NY was one of the lowest next to HLJ depending on the items and method.

    Nice! I just got mine too..Haven't opened yet but it's going to be a fun weekend!

    Nice! Speaking of refrigerator magnets, I just got this... Revoltech Spiderman from their new Amazing Yamaguchi series. Becoming the best 1/12 comic book style figure line ever imo! And on the other had, I just got this Marvel Legend figure too and it's probably the best I've seen from the line. Beautiful sculpt, paint and useable articulation...something uncommon on most Marvel Legends.

    Nice! I'm sure they could come out great, which is why I'm interested. Now that the official versions are announced, just gotta see how it goes. Like I mentioned in the Arcadia thread, it's pretty much a matter of how many sets I buy of what versions at this point.
  7. Slave IV
    Haha, yep! Thank you spanner for taking the plunge! The future of these KOs is in your hands (or anyone else who can give a good review of them)! I sent you a link that I found and maybe spanner can share the one(s) he used?

    That's what I'm saying! I never got the Beagle and now I don't care. Bring on the Sentinel!

    Getting M&M is an almost lifelong desire for me come true. Looks like I'll be able to do that in three different scales this year! Only questions for me now are will there be premium finish options and how many sets of what versions to buy (including KOs if they turn out well)? I guess another question is where I'm going to get the money but that's trivial, lol. As far as Arcadia doing this in response to KOs? I always assume the opposite where the KO companies are most likely involved with the factories producing these things and with their inside knowledge, they use the opportunity to make some money.

    Not at all...They seem to be doing better than ever. "Keith", of "K"FC has been pretty active answering questions on the TFW forums lately. Today he mentioned, It cant out by q2 since we have occupied with cosmos , octane , hoist , and trailbreaker .and two more unannounced characters in q2 as well will eating those spot up .but we will be sure speedup . Keep you tuned . http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/x-transbots-mm-hubcap-and-cliffjumper.1060528/page-21#post-14486132 Responding about their Cliffjumper. He also mentioned some changes at the factory to improve on quality.

    I just want good toys. Every one of them is already overpriced as is so I'd always rather pay more for excellence than less (but still too much) for half assing.

    Lol, anything to make a buck (or a hundred)! Another thing I wish would be done is using magnets to complete circuits. Best example I can think of is Pilders in Mazinger's head. Pilder in, connected with magnet and eyes light up, take pilder out, eyes off. Would still need an override switch but still be a really cool feature.
  13. Slave IV
    I love the use of magnets. Only wish most companies would use stronger ones.

    Nice rides! Mine's the fat one in front.

    Awaiting the preorders...but not in any hurry. I hope they take their sweet time on it so I can recover a bit of money.

    I'd love to see it under $200 but a Re:Edit non-transforming Iron Man figure in the same scale is close to $200 (much more if we are talking about Hulkbuster). Many Riobots have been $200+. Let's just say I'll be happy if it's under $300. I mean, I don't want to pay that much but if that's what it's gonna take, I'll make it happen.

    My wife has been helping me secure DX and HMR preorders by logging on with her phone during preorder madness hours.

    Can't wait for the Sentinel Ride Armor! Just read this old article recently where the director at T-Tex said, “For me, personally, working on the original Beagle Mospeada was interesting. It was my first big project and I learned a lot. However, I look at it now and wish I could go back to re-design it based on the knowledge and experience I've acquired since. The other projects I also loved doing were the big SDF-1 Macross toy from Macross and the Starship Troopers power armor for Sentinel.” Source So, it looks like he got his wish and it means that this will likely be an incredible toy. But we all already expected that.

    The original movie is my top two all time favorite anime movie along with Ninja Scroll. Seen both nearly 100 times and been anticipating this for a while. Got a bit worried due to some criticism and knowing how Hollywood often messing things up. But man did I enjoy that! It was basically the original movie with more emphasis on action but still had a lot of the underlying story told in a more clear way. Fantastic job by everyone involved! My wife liked it too! A bit scary for my daughter but her eyes were glued most the time.

    A bunch of new Star Wars figures added to my main Star Wars shelf:

    Good advice! I try to forget about the things I missed and just hope for reissues or newer, improved versions. If there is something you really want that came out a while ago, search for deals and be patient. They are just toys and there are plenty to go around and to come.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Slave IV replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    My items from CDJ have always been packed very well. Pretty close to amiami standards.
  23. Slave IV
    Excellent!
  24. Slave IV
    Nice! The One:12 figures are sweet and I wanted Punisher but the options annoyed me to the point of passing on them all. They make some truly irritating decisions sometimes.
  25. Slave IV
    Nice!
