    Not to mention it's sort of Hulu's last hurrah. I'm not surprised, and in fact I had a pretty good feeling we weren't gonna get anything Predator related at all. Xenomorph do chitter just like the Predator species, so the sound in the trailer could been a Xenomorph right next to the character, who knows.

    That's indeed really disappointing and not surprising. I just got my hands using what money I didn't spend at the con last weekend both Silverbolt and the Longhaul/Hook 2 pack at a local Target....honestly was very surprised they were present when I was on the website late last night so I took the chance early this morning. Sadly the 2 pack were already gone but they had 5 more silverbolts. Had to drive 40 miles to get the 2 pack at the next Target. Man, getting Silverbolt out of the box and looking over the giant brick set he comes with, it's almost if not bigger than he is! This is truthfully the biggest bummer when it comes to these new designs but I guess that's just how things go with the price point and how they're designed. Overall I do like how he looks in general, and I went ahead and put Slingshot and Airaid into their respected slots. Now I just gotta wait until Fireflight and Skydive....that sucks. Longhaul and Hook was like a "Wait....I paid 90 for this?" Their transformations from vehicle to robot were just so simplistic that it was either genius or disappointing I can't figure out what. Their combiner transformation was a lot more intuitive in my opinion but my god that backside is just so god awful to look at that I'm glad I don't got to! I also slapped bonecrusher and scrapper on and then I went, "Ah..........crap...." cause he's not gonna be able to stand. This is what I kind of hate about how they release combiners, go feet/legs, torso, then arms, don't go arm here, leg there, maybe the torso, or just do the torso last like the Stunticons. Right now I'm kind of glad that the Combaticons are the last set for now....course it's gonna be a whole year before they're even finished. And I want my G2 Stunticons dammit! They've had all this time, 2 years now to finish these and t hey only got 2 more stinking figures to go. All they are, are just repaints, how freaking hard can it be?

    pffff you're right. ah that's still horrible either way lol.
  4. Hikuro
    see? Thats BS! I know this figure isn’t exactly out yet but come on! That’s total price gouging right there if there ever was.

    Gradius would be fun. I picked up a few games this weekend, nothing much, nothing impressive. Transformers on the PSP and boy is that game a POS.....Ace Combat 4 for PS2 which if I recall was a really fun game to play! And Terminator 2 Dawn of Fate....I remember playing it a tad bit at a friends house, but never got more than I think the intro on it thru and gave it back to him. Sadly there weren't much there for games at this con I went too.....lots of overpriced garbage I'd never get, or import games that I can't play on the 64. Guess I need to mod my 64, I heard it's real similar to doing the SNES.

    Considering these days finding missing figures at cons is a given, their pricing is insane and over the top. I'm not gonna spend 70+ on a deluxe figure at all....even if it's hard to find. But 130 for a two figure pack that is just barely getting into the market at 89....I mean come on. If it were 100, yeah I'd probably pay for it, bit steep but I'd manage. 86 for Swoop when he's around 60 is iffy....honestly I can still get him and save probably 10-12 bucks online and that's probably the direction I'll go in the end.

    God I would absolutely love missing link Z's as a Z enthusiast. Infact I almost traded in my 370Z this week for the new 25 Z but the dealership we were getting it from at work said no dice, car had hail damage and they didn't wanna repair it so the deal fell thru. Was absolutely bummed, really wanted to drive a new Z for my birthday this weekend. Speaking as is tradition for me the last 6 years, been at a con all day. There was a vender booth with just a ton of Transformers from all the different lines but what got me so giddy were the Alternators, I absolutely LOVED that figure line cause they were all scaled realistic vehicles of the early 2000's. But when I looked at the boxes for these things the guy wanted 200+ bucks each....man I get they're MIB but by god 200, there's an Ozzy line thrown there somewhere I can't repeat. He also wanted 90 for SS86 Swoop, another wanted 80 for a Takara Pre-earth Wheeljack. GET BLEEPED! 130 for Long haul and Mixmaster! Come the freak on, I get trying to turn a bit of a profit but that's almost double the cost, I'd been stupid to buy those.

    I'm absolutely fine with the design and overall look of the Alpha. There's a lot of people probing about the "scale" of the figure. Lots of hopeful fans are wanting a cheaper 1/48 alternative from Sentinel. But for some reason they don't seem to understand that Takara does their own thing and not follow the "scale" method. I'm guessing this thing will probably be close to Commander or maybe even Leader class.

    Klingon's in the TOS always had something gold looking. I mean mostly it was those over the shoulder sash's but still.

    I'll completely pass on the bayverse figures, there's zero appeal from me on that. Sort of irked that we're doing a new Seeker mold, worse off that we already got an 86 SS Starscream and now here we are with a new mold starting with TC. I'm fairly happy with the figures I got so I'm going to entirely pass on this. Combaticons look good, Brawl, and Blastoff keeping fairly close to their G1 counterpart. Windcharger, Sureshot, they look good. Big Convoy will probably be a buy, the Hotwheels collab I think I'll probably get, I'm pretty sure I mentioned it some time back but they would work REALLY well on the G2 shelf.

    God yeah that was kind of heart breaking right there. Lots of history with him growing up.

    soooooo was that Moses Ingram moving from Kenobi and now onto Star Trek?

    truthfully not surprised he's gone, at least not this fast. There were stories I've heard where Sharon and him were planning to go to Switzerland cause assisted suicide was a thing. Given his situation and how much pain he was in, falling, back surgery, diagnosed with Parkinsons, I get why it would be a thing. If anything it showed his final concert not even a month ago was a big send off and a message to everyone this was gonna be truly the end.

    could be fun. who knows!

    Man been forever since I've been around Coeur D'Alene, literally a hop, skip and a jump from Spokane. Currently the local walmarts are flowing with Retro Bee, Gears, older Earth Spark, AOTP Red Alerts and TFOne Bees both SS and Deluxe class. It's rather annoying. Target though out here in Texas has been getting stuffed with Bonecrushers.....that's rather funny in my opinion. Oh and really terrible SS Q's.
  16. Hikuro
    I see Retro Gears all the time in my local walmart, he's kind of clogging up the pegs right now.
  17. Hikuro
    Well I got my two episodes in. First episode wasn't bad, Second episode, kind of dull

    Got a knock off MD Everdrive at a local game shop yesterday after a doctors appointment. From what I was told it’ll handle any sega product between genesis to cd and it had me massively curious. Now I just need to find an actual 32 gig sd card for this blasted thing. This’ll tie me over games wise I guess with the limited funds I’ve gotten lately. Hopefully it works I haven’t had the best of luck with these kinds of devices in the past.

    I've got the 11C, damn thing has yellowed and it wasn't even near sunlight.

    Hikuro replied to Tochiro's topic in Games

    I've been replaying this game, trying to find guides for quests and maps with some sort of translation to it. Granted, been using my phone for some of this stuff, but I'm having just a pain in the butt time completing any objective side quest that isn't "Go here and fight these guys." Still though, game is just as enjoyable to play as it was a decade ago when I first got it.

    While I was out getting gas at the local walmart early this morning I thought I'd just take a stroll and see what they had, it's not a walmart I usually go to I prefer going outside of town. They had Redalert, Jazz, Retro styling Bee and Gears, lots of Devestation edition Optimus, and TFOne Bumblebee. But also came across a Sharkbite which surprised me, and a SS Sentinel Prime which was some w hat tempting, but seeing how I haven't bought a single TFOne figure I kinda went meh. I kind of gave up, was sort of hoping for somethin G1ish i didn't own and my instincts kicked in and looked above the shelves and I saw 1 box kind of laying on its side and I got a better angle to look at what it was and WHAM, Scrapper. Easily snagged him up and grabbed a couple of the TFOne Blokees to give them a try I mean, they're 6 bucks a pop it's not a big deal. Scrapper isn't bad, I think yeah he's a bit over priced and shouldn't be 35 bucks, I just don't understand why he's a voyager price point for something almost deluxe sized. The Blokees ended up being cogless Bee and Orion Pax, overall not bad of a haul for something kind of spontaneous.

    Mine is the original version, I've been looking at slims though, really wanna get my hands on the Halo Reach edition, I love how that sucker looks but most want 100+ with no drive. I've got a lot of medical issues going on lately, spent close to a grand with no answers what's wrong with me, so 360 is way on the back burner. Plus I gotta get repairs on the famicom and super famicom. Famicon doesn't have a good Player 1 controller, and Super Famicom has an audio issue where I found bad traces around the C61 capacitor leading to the chip dealing with Audio. : / just not my month.
  23. Hikuro
    Hm.... But hey, 12 episodes, series is over, 12 episodes of meh, and now I really feel like I'm losing faith in the Gundam franchise once more.

    The moment he's up for preorder I'm in. I managed to successfully find a Slingshot at the local target, last one, both it and the walmart are just crawling with SS86 and SSOne Bee's and Que's and Devestation Optimus. I rather like Slingshot....his vehicle mode cleans up really well but then in robot mode he's got big legs that'll take up a great amount of space in the cabinet until the rest of the figures are released. So that's 2 down, 3 to go.

    I just played catch up ont he last few episodes and I just threw my arms into the air over it. It's just lazy writing and story planning. I have ZERO investment in these characters, INCLUDING CHAR! I want this whole universe to get wiped from existence. DO IT SHUJI! JUST DO IT!
