Couple of blasts from the past there, Kuma. Looking good, as always.

Thank you. The engineering doesn't aw me quite as much now that it's been YEARS with these guys in hand but there's something about them that still hits a very nice spot for me.

Did an overseas Crossbones order because I "needs it now in the future!" but yea. I'm really excited for this piece. It's pretty much the one Metal Build I wanted in general.

CM's Legioss & Tread combo with Special Upgrade Parts

Just saying

How good IS the CMS? My experience with their products is so hit/miss and generally dated but I'd like to start adding more Legioss variants at very least.

Nice! No punches pulled.

Thanks. Yea, Sentinel has been really iffy with quality over the past 3 or 4 years and now it's at the point where I feel like I just don't get a solid product from them.

Hey Kuma Style, if you haven't ordered those EVA heads on showz yet they're instock and both the regular and 2020 editions have arrived. I gotta say the paint and sculpt quality is excellent.

Post up some pics, brother. Would love to see how they look in hand.

Review up:

Will you do a review of this Legioss?

Yea. I actually have the day off so I'll get it done and up today.

that shot reminds me of when Scott burst through the door of that fortress in the mountain with the fireball behind him.

Awesome shot Kuma Style

Ty man.

US, yeah. Hmm, maybe I'll give it another few weeks then, if it's on a boat.

Did you get actual tracking? They normally send parts via ems/registered mail and not sea. I'd follow up.

Dream Star (never heard of them) is making their own "stylized" version of Superion. So far I'm really liking it, but still need to see more pics of the individual bots and their alt modes. Silverbolt has a lot of under-junk.

Looks incredible. For me that's a perfect mixture of real and stylization all around.

Congrats on the house!

I don't think I've kept as busy as you, but I honestly can't complain.  The whole COVID thing hasn't impacted my family as badly as a lot of other people we know, and I was at least able to take my daughter to Lake Pymatuning this summer.  It was a big deal for me, because I used to go there every summer when I was a kid and I loved sharing that experience with my own kid.  Plus it was her first time swimming in anything besides a pool.

Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah. 

- TY man. It's nice to finally be in that "dream" home and learn quite a bit as we do these projects and the like. It's just great.

- I'm glad that you got to have a relatively normal summer. The thing that honestly hit me the hardest was the gyms being closed from late March through late June. I'm someone to where fitness is a huge part of my life so that really messed me up, lol and I guess since I wonder if I've been subconsciously working double time trying to get back what was lost asap. First world problems though, I know.

For both my wife and myself though there was no job loss and the like so honestly really no complaints. I'm well past hanging out at bars and only went to theater for major features so my day to day wasn't too thrown off outside of gym. It was bizarre walking and driving past so many empty businesses, though.

- Credit where due, man!

- Ref "them" - I know of some planned re release type stuff that should make people happy but I'm more concerned with all of the new stuff teased coming to fruition.

I didn't even realize that Maketoys did that mold in Powered Convoy/Delta Magnus colors.  And I was just thinking that I hadn't see any pictures from you lately, @Kuma Style.  Hopefully you've just been busy with other things, but I was a little concerned.  This is 2020, after all...

Oh thanks for the concern but honestly haven't been active much with this stuff because things are so GOOD. New home bought over the summer and just tons of working on projects, staying fit and being out and about with friends/family, hunting/fishing/camping/shooting, etc. etc.. I can say I was hardly inside of my house this summer even if I was at home. Hell I even bought a telescope recently for the upstairs deck and have gotten into star gazing.

I think I've officially decided to be a "seasonal" collector at best. I'll still preorder and buy year round but it's really hard to commit to sitting up on a computer doing this stuff when I could frankly be doing things more productive. Love the communities and those in it but perspective on it all and the type of "involvement" I want to have has definitely changed.

And hope you've been well too, man. You're a great contributor and your reviews are frankly one of my favorite parts about having visited this forum.

Edit: OH, it using the gento mold is just a one-off that I'm hoping can get produced one day but... Maketoys.
