  1. I love the current MP aesthetic. Having super posable, transforming toys that look like the original show is a dream come true. 
     

    What is surprising to me is every time Takara announces a new show accurate MP, the anti-show accurate crowd act shocked that Takara is doing it.  Every release since Inferno its been “nope. Looks too much like the show...why is Takara doing this when I don't like it”.  Which is fine. They don’t have to like it, but don’t be shocked when each one is clearly following a pattern and looks like the show. 
     

    Then the next one is shown and they are angry again. “Why is Takara doing this. I can’t believe they are still going for toon accuracy”.  Clearly Takara has a plan. They have been doing it like this for several years. 
     

    Then the next one is shown and the detractors are still shocked it looks the way it does. 

  2. Still available at NY for a $60 mark up at 42,000.  

     

    Considering it really is only $60ish more than amiami was charging, their price isn't too bad. Its only going to go up. Its probably roughly the same as what bbts will charge. 

  3. Bought it right when yodobashi shinjuku opened this morning.  As of about 30mns ago, they had four left.

  4. My 1j from amiami finally arrived today.  i sold all my 1:48 valks years ago when i started collecting the 1:60 v2's....i forgot just how big 1:48 valks are.  I share all the pros and cons already stated in this thread so i will keep this short.  Its gorgeous and very well built. It looks great on a shelf.  I am glad i got one and i will get the hikaru 1s if released but thats probably it.  I prefer my yamato/arcadia 1:60's and i don't see them going anywhere/being replaced anytime soon.

  5. 2 hours ago, Kuma Style said:

    I actually have a few cameras I switch between dependant on shots and whether I'm traveling or not and one of them is mirrorless, yes. 

    If literally the only thing you have to contribute to a thread is bitching and moaning, then you should continue to just lurk. I don't know what kind of attitude you feel that you presented here, but I'm guessing it's a lot more shitty than the one you felt was given to you in whatever response to whatever situation by whatever reviewers. And you weren't contributing prior to my arrival, either. Even calling on-topic posting "spam" is outright bizarre. 

    I know, right? How dare i comment on something in a thread that I've rarely commented in.  I hope you take your own advice and stay out of any and all threads on this site that you have never posted in.

    And if you are going to act like an a$$ everytime you get called out for being an a$$..i agree with slaginpit, Stay out of this thread. 

    Take your ego and you attitude back to youtube.  Don't bother replying. I'm done with you. 

  6. This is exactly why i stopped checking this thread out. As soon as kuma joined and started spamming the thread with his pics, i knew his attitude would not be far behind.  I am not into 3rd party figs at all but a few of my buddies are and two of them experienced what Slaginpit just did.  Both made harmless comments only to get snappad at.   My go to reviewers are peaugh and wotafa. The two i avoid like the plague...skullface and kuma.  Like i said...not at all in to 3rd party stuff but i did occasionally like checking out some pics and reviews but now that kuma and his attitude is here, I've been staying far away.  In my 10 years on MW, i have only put one person on my ignore list...now there are two. 

  7. I have one if you are still looking. Figure, accessories and styro insert are all basically brand new but outer box was seriously damaged at amiami's warehouse. This is the first release. Transformed once and displayed in fighter mode for about a week, it has been in its box for the past 6 years or so.  Pre-ordered and purchased from amiami back in 2010/2011...whenever the first renewal came out. 

    For some reason, i have not been added to the ssl yet but i have been mentioned several times in the ssl thread and have had multiple successful transactions here with exo, jenius, glane, mister-e, peaugh, bbrain, kirik...

    I've never looked at prices for these.  Is $180 shipped in the US fair?

  8. ^ one of the many reasons i cannot stand skullface or his reviews. 

    He is incredibly rough with the figures, if there is a minor flaw he gets incredibly upset, he practically demands perfection with every release and i hate his unnessecary "humor" and poorly scripted one liners. He just comes off as an entitled, sarcastic pr!ck. 

    Peaugh, wotafa and vf5ss are the only reviewers i watch right now. 

  9. For those of you who are still waiting for their golion to show up, what online retailer did you buy from? I used amiami and received mine on january 3rd....three weeks ago and i am on the US east coast. 

    I know US retailers get their stock after the Japanese retailers but it seems like some of you guys have been waiting an exceptionally long time....even without the west coast rain/flooding slowing things down. 

    This is in no way meant as a bragging post. I am just curious as to who the retailers with a longer processing/shipping time are. Thanks. 

  10. I can swear there was a super robot chogokin thread on macross world but i cannot find it anywhere, so i apologize for posting this in the wrong thread but does anyone have any info on the SRC Godannar that was shown at a toy show over a year ago?

    Still in the works? Canceled? Thanks for any info.

  11. Not sure I'd like a perfectly anime-accurate Voltron. It'd look strange without the little lion legs, especially as the original toy design comprises most of the nostalgia I have for this character. That's why I'm leaning toward Bandai. Toynami's got the size, but the chunky-cat Bandai version looks more like an articulated update of the Popy DX. I'm not crazy about Toynami's stylized take. That, and Bandai's version comes with the individual lion weapons. Not crazy about fiddly things like the alternate-face gimmick, but Bandai's quality is usually solid.

    Completely agree. Imo, the upcoming toynami/ori toys voltron looks awful. It looks like an overly stylized 3rd party KO on steroids. The SOC looks fantastic...but i also think that bandai could and should make a golion for the SRC line. The original and newer versions of the golion jumbos do not have the individual lion legs and again IMO, nothing seems to be missing when i look at them. I love the look of the original popy toy and i love the streamlined look of the anime. If bandai could make an SRC golion based on the old jumbo, it would be a great figure.
