I pre-ordered the UK MPC Optimus and the Takara Starscream to make sure I'd get ahold of them. I REALLY want them.

Expecting it to melt through blast doors, were you? 386410[/snapback] I guess my main beef was the fact that by the time I had opened it, 2 LEDs were flickering. They don't flicker all of the time, but it still bugs the hell out of me. EDIT: Oh, and I bought it off of BN.com, so it wasn't second hand or anything. Who knows? Maybe I just got a melon?

True, true. BTW, I was wondering... is the Decepticon symbol modeled after Soundwave's head?

I've got an Anakin Force FX. It's OK I guess... not as cool as I thought it would be.

For some reason I'd prefer to see Soundwave more than either Galvatron or Megatron.

If they made a masterpiece Megatron and/or Soundwave I would probably cream my pants.

But that is still a long time.

Yup cats + toys don't mix. My sister's cat managed to chew on the propeller of a 1/18 scale Me-109 the same day I bought it. And last night when I was transforming my 1/48 CF my cat went for the box and the missiles. Luckily I scared him off before he bit down on it hard.

You know what sucks? About a month ago I was digging through my box of Transformers to show a curious friend what I had... Anyway, I took my Transmetal Beast Wars Megatron out of the box (it had been opened before, but the chrome was fantastic. I can't say the same for Rattrap.) I was transforming him to Robot mode and SNAP. One of his shoulder fans busted off. My friend was appalled, and I wasn't too happy myself. I continued to transform him and SNAP. Off went one of his arms. Now, I wasn't using that much force. I'm wondering if the plastic had deteriorated or something over the years. It had been stored in an EXTREMELY cold area for... letsee... around 5 years. (empty grain bins/quonset/garage in northern North Dakota) Sad.

*shakes head in disbelief* As for alt prime: I honestly thought that was a custom when I first saw it. Like some guy took alt ironhide made a prime head and stuck the head on the ironhide body as a joke. (haven't been up to date on the latest alts for ages) 384761[/snapback] It's cause I grew up with TF. I didn't even see Robotech until I was 11-12, and I didn't see DYRL until last month. Cut me some slack.

Also, you guys will want to take into account that I am of the generation that didn't get to see neither TF nor Robotech (Macross) when they first aired.

Uhhh... I didn't mean the toys. I just meant the show. G1 only. Everything else is, for the most part, crap. Comparing G1 and SDF Macross. That's it. For me G1 wins. Sorry.

That's the kind of feedback I was looking for, thanks guys. My friend said he saw a few at Software Etc a while back, so I might check there. I was planning on going to Toys R Us to waste some time later this week, so I'll be sure to check them out as well. Heck, I'll check all of the local retailers. The net will be my last option. It pains me to say this, but TF > Robotech (Macross).

So... if I'm going to get one, should I get Optimus? If Starscream is as good as he sounds he will be I might be persuaded to pick him up (he's my favorite Decepticon). Can you even find the Masterpiece Convoy anywhere?

Guys, I'm confused. What is the difference between the Masterpiece and the hybrid? If I'm only buying one - which should I get? I still have my (late, I think) G1 Optimus. *drool*

What the heck is it? Was it ever in the actual show? EDIT: Uh oh, I think I spelled Minmei the Robotech way. Don't kill me.
