  1. The eyes on the Hasbro are definitely better than the Takara but suck compared to the MP1. I love that reflective/mirrored blue.
  2. I was thinking Wii U (the controller is made for this game with the motion tracker, etc). but have been fearing it's gonna stink so maybe if/when it hits the bargain bin.
  3. I do like the sculpt of MP10 but I still prefer my MP1/Optimus 25th. The eyes, hands (stone cold salute), hydraulic musculature, and the little gimmicks win me over, though I like the size and articulation of MP10. MP20 Optimus v3 with best of both worlds? My MP10 stays in truck while my MP1 stays Robot.
  4. Damn why is the Hasbro Masterpiece Grimlock so expensive on the secondary market? Was it a smaller run than Rodimus, Skywarp, etc or just more popoular? Doesn't look possible to get for less than 2 bills. Really wish Hasbro would make more use of these molds like they have with with the Seeker repaints. Any hint there could be other FoC Dinobots?
  5. I am very much looking forward to the Singer deal, as well. Always had a love hate with the drama and biological cylons cop out while loving the SFX and generally grounded science fiction. Gimme Lucifers and Imperious Leaders, plz!
  6. Local TRU finally out of Thundercrackers. I settled for FoC Grimlock which is pretty cool. Only major beef is that it really needs some folding panels to at least partially cover the gaping chasms in dino mode, but overall I like it.
  7. Wow, that looks incredible. Love it all stickered up.
  8. I won't be happy until there's a Masterpiece Galvatron. I wouldn't mind Hasbro doing another domestic release of Hot Rod/Rodimus, though.
  9. The F-35 has been growing on me and I'm growing to really like it. YF-23 remains my favorite plane, of course, t hough, so I'm hoping to grab an Italeri or Testors YF-23 and start an "F-23A" using F-22 paintjob and decals instead of the ATF scheme.
  10. Wish they would do some more mini figs. Spark Plug, Carly, Daniel. The Exo-Suits (I think there's third party exo-suits, just sayin'). Maybe those dumb aliens (the one with the fangs) from Season 3...
  11. Agreed. Freeman makes a movie better (even if he's the typecast as the same wise old black dude in every movie) and Channing Tatum makes every movie worse.
  12. About a hundred dollar difference between a 660Ti or a 670... think I'd see any benefit on my aging X58 rig?
  13. Starhawk still pwns multiplayer. Best thing since BF2 for "combined arms" action.
  14. I'm definitely ambivalent about it. I'm cautiously optimistic to see Episode VII. I figured Lucas would do it anyway in another 10 years or so...
  15. Yeah the reasoning for starting Adama in a Raptor was perfectly explained and perfectly reasonable: to chill out. Would definitely be a great start for a series but is it already too late?
  16. What scale is that thing in and how big is it? I still like the classic TOS Battlestar design the best and the remake Pegasus comes closest but find that ass end to be... odd and ill-fitted. I like Blood and Chrome. I was thinking the betrayal sounded way too contrived... the pseudo love story thing certainly seemed it... but I like they way they turned it around with the hint from the star pilot from the beginning: it's all BS. I did love this far better compared by my gripes about the remake in general and the seeming lack of perspective they have in dealing with the biological Cylons (and I still hate the concept compared to what could have been modern renditions on the Lucifers and Imperious Leaders).... it's about survival and there's no time for hand wringing. Win the war and deal with their petty angst after.
  17. I almost universally prefer sandbox games. Funny but I have the opposite issue with the GTA and RDR type games. I tend to get hooked into the story and start ignoring the side missions and have to do them on the second or subsequent playthroughs. Facing that the most in the Yakuza PS3 games (Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, Yakuza of the Dead) but also in RDR and the GTAIV.
  18. lol sorry It was a nice idea but just with leg telescoping and face switching is not nearly enough. He should significantly increase no less than 1/4-1/3 in bulk as well as height. Best to leave it to two separate toys or at the very least have the Rodimus Prime use it's Space Winnebago Trailer to form the bulk as an exoskeleton (and/or use it as a the "attack platform" with regular Hot Rod). I would like to base part half as thick maybe (and thus the "foot" would telescope out twice as much), but overall I like it. Part of the original design homage and provides support. I'm thinking the stands at the front not only need to open rearward but should telescope, as well. Almost looks like they thought of that and cheaped out. Or just went that extra mile on the sculpt. Should we be optimists or pessimists?
  19. Also would like to mod/place some stops/chop blocks for roller in the trailer.
  20. Is anyone else bugged about the trailer stands for MP10? They should pull toward the rear so the cab could connect with the legs down and have enough clearance to rise and lower with the cab attached.
