    Apparently TRU has really shot themselves in the foot with their Prime voyager pricing. I stopped by 3 different TRU's since Friday trying to find a deluxe Soundwave, and every one has literally piles of Optimus and Megatron. They also had piles of bumblebee's...

    If it had an actual windshield it would be pretty cool.

    I'd like to see all those things happen first in quantities where people can actually BUY them.

    It's a little of column A, a little of column B, and the tiniest bit of column C.

    I'd die laughing if it turned out the first run of these is catastrophically flawed and just crumble in peoples hands when they get them.

    usually it's shops like Sideshow and BBTS. I'm sure there will be similar retailers that will carry it for other regions.

    god dammit, now I have to get that Ranka. I totally haven't been fallowing these prize figures in a while, how do you go about getting these? Do these show up at regular retailers (hlj, amiami, etc.) or do I have to go through some kind of middle man deal/ get in on a group buy?

    Well, it looks like those who couldn't catch this during preorder will be getting a second crack at it after all:

    No it's not. The CG colony in CCA looks like crap. The model was ok but it's movement through the scene was clunky as hell despite being a solid cylinder that had nothing to do but rotate and pan across the screen for 5 seconds. It was pointless and looked completely out of place compared to the rest of the movie.

    Next case as in the wave 2 case that adds ratchet and arcee or next case as in wave 3 which is supposed to have knockout, vehicon and hot shot? If they do a third case assortment with 3 bumblebees in it I swear to god I'm going to stab someone with a spork.

    it's only certain things though. Deluxes are only a dollar more and cyberverse stuff is the same price, as are Human Aliance figures. Even DoTM Voyagers weren't even marked up that bad. The wave 1 voyager case is 3 Primes and 1 Megatron, but the revision 2 case is 2 and 2. Oddly enough, the target had a single case (3 and 1) put out, but the TRU had 2 revision 2 cases out. It worked out good for me because I got to pick out the one with the cleanest paint apps and a perfect chest sigil at TRU, then brought in the not so good looking target one for a refund. Now the Deluxe case assortments are all kinds of BS. Wave one was 2 Cliffjumpers, 2 Wheeljacks, 3 Bumblebees and 1 Soundwave, so guess what wave 2 is: 1 each of Cliffjumper, Wheeljack, Soundwave, Arcee and Ratchet but still 3 Bumblebees. motherf*ckers I have no idea but it is AWESOME. I think I need to get that minicon somehow.

    I have a hard time believing this is even possible, but the TakaraTomy versions of the prime RID figures will actually be WORSE than their North American counterparts. Apparently the Japanese releases will feature fewer paint apps (with most of them replaced by paper stickers) and obtrusive mechtech ports plastered all over the vehicle modes. That said, I've got Megatron and Skywarp preordered as they're both FE molds, skywarp's paint scheme looks amazing, and Megatron's Minicon is his fusion canon that turns into a shiny purple gorilla with animated Lugnut's face. and while it's not enough to make me want to pay a premium for the takara versions (or any version in primes case) the minicons that Ratchet and Prime come with are pretty amazing, and I hope I can track them down individually. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/japanese-transformers-40/takaratomy-website-update-transformers-prime-deluxe-and-ez-collection-174517/ And in other news, I found a voyager Megatron at TRU; and 5 minutes later I found one at Target for $7 cheaper. so I ended up with 2 megatons. I also just spent $63 on a first edition Optimus Prime because I'm stupid.

    This really makes Mechwarrior online look pretty bad.
  14. anime52k8
    well, life happened. And even though swinging this was always a long shot I just wanted to do some cheer leading because this is an amazing product form a company that deserves the support. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll do a second release in arctic camo or something. I think I might find it harder to pass up RAY when that happens though. (and I'd be all over some Gekko's if they ever end up doing them.)

    I just picked up a playarts kai master chief, I think he's a pretty good figure. His ankles have an odd bit of play to them and I really think he should have come with a couple more accessories, but I really like it over all.

    I wish, but $490 = car insurance deductible I've got to pay. and it's not like I have any room for it anyways.

    it's because the vast majority of comic books are utter garbage that are only accessible to the ultra-nerd fringe. Because Samuel L. Jackson > David Hasselhoff

    Photoshop for one. I have 8 gigs of ram on my computer and can still routinely max out my available ram while working on bigger files.

    The forums got an auto-save feature now. if you hit the back button or leave the page, just get back to where you where then hit more reply options and at the bottom of the text box it will say something to the effect of restore auto-save content.

    Just a little something impressive to look it during the final 24 hours before MG rex goes on sale.
  21. anime52k8
    by derail you mean contributing the most striking and original piece of design work ever associated with the Gundam franchise, then yes, that was him.

    You know, it's generally considered a bad thing to be drinking this early in the morning. And it's probably best if you didn't try to type while inebriated.
  23. anime52k8
    That made absolutely zero sense.
  24. anime52k8
    Yeah, Kawamori's done almost nothing of note outside of Valkyries and that one gundam OVA. Crusher Joe, GPX cyber formula, and the Armored core games are so small time. And it's not like he's provided designs for anything like Ghost in the shell, or the patlabor movies. No sir, Macross and 0083, that's all the noteworthy stuff Kawamori has ever worked on.

    I've just resigned myself to paying stupid ebay prices for FE prime; now I'm just watching auctions, trying to catch one for under $60 shipped. I've already got starscream, can easily get arcee and bumblebee for a reasonable price; and I never had much interest in Bulkhead anyways. so all that leaves is cliffjumper and the Vehicon; and I think I'll be able to live with the RID vehicon if I can get multiples for cheap.
