    Alternator Hound

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    Posted

    You know, the more alternators I see, the less I am impressed. First they came out with a pretty good one in Smoke screen. He looked good

    as a car and as a robot. Then Sideswipe came out. Good as a car, but he had a fat ass as a robot. Now they have Hound. The jeep is nice

    but the bony girl legs have to go. Seems like these alternators need to hit the gym more and get their proportions fixed. :)

    Nope. Sidewipe has the best robot mode which look closer to human proportion then the rest. Smoke Screen should have a girl face given the huge breasts.

    1/60 GBP armor sold seperately?

    hm.. but the price is different from the usual. i mean usually valkryie together with fast pack is 9800yen but here is 10290yen, so does it mean the new vf1j be different from the previous one? or is it just inflation  :(  and we have to pay more  :ph34r:  :ph34r:

    Looks like the price on that page included 5% Japanese sale tax.

    Owner of the HK toy news board was showing off his US version. Really cool engineering, but not extremely complex.

    Smokescreen Alternator

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    Posted

    The street price for the Alternator in HK is about US$20 to 25. It's the Japanese diecast version BT-01 that command the high price. The high price you see with the TF reissue is just standard TRU/Hasbro price gouging. The Japanese version of the same reissues have better paint job and packaging, and are sold at the same price as the US version.

    SOC GX-05R Gaiking got an re-issue.

    Plus various MSIA releases - More Zaku custom, US version battle scarred released in Japan as v.s. set - go to http://www.noda-ya.com/ for details.

    My Opinion: After the Titan MkII a GFF Super Gundam is expected, but I sure didn't expect a FA MkII. Nice way to jack up the price. With Dom, I guess a whole bunch of Gelgoog varient will appear and then some Char's version down the road. SOC Eva are just milking the mold.

    Last Exile

    Posted · Edited by CF18

    Last Exile got good production quality, but have a boring story and rather simple characters. I found Scrapped Princess, Wolf's Rain, and Stellvia to be much better show overall.

    Edit: the subject is still LE, right?

    Latest 1/48

    in Toys

    Posted

      OTOH, considering how badly the original "A" did, I wonder if they haven't produced tons of Hikaru "A" Valks and need a way to dump the excess supply.  Swap the head out and throw it in a new box?  Stranger things....

    Just want to point out the FACT of how well the original A did, which completely sold out in Hong Kong and various online stores with in a month, and Yamato is re-releasing it due to the demands.

    Yamato is not a total newbie in the toy market. They have made many toys with various degree of success. The high price of 1:48 translate to high profit for Yamato, I doubt they are in any kind of trouble.

    why must we doom ourselves???

    The price talk here may have no effect on Yamato, but it may have some effect on the stupid high price HG put on their MPC.

    And Bandai probably learned that the high price you see on eBay is no indication of how successful a re-issue can be.

    I really want to make my own lego stuff! anyone know where i can get those kind of pieces??

    Buy many LEGO sets, and just pick a few key pieces from each one... www.peeron.com is a good reference for that.

    You can also go to www.bricklink.com for key pieces. Prepare for high cost for rare stuff.

    1:60 GBP-1 !?

    in Toys

    Posted

    i will personally wait until the 1/48 version though.

    why? (based purely on speculation):

    2 WORDS.

    REMOVEABLE MISSLES.

    Yeah I will wait for the 1:48 too. One thing I don't like in these 1:60 photos is the white colour inside the missile chamber. Any professionally made GBP-1S model would painted the inside black, but looks like the missiles and the inside is all one piece of white plastic.
