  1. So when is that mold going to be released? 2023? The wait is so long...
  2. Click joints. I have massive robots with big click joints that have no problems with wear.
  3. Trade-down? There's not trade-down man. Were THS-01 or THS-02 trade-downs? Certainly not. Tiny awesome transformable pieces of die-cast art. I don't see why Convoy would be any different, especially since he's BIGGER than both THS figures.
  4. I don't see Alternity toys being any more difficult to transform than your average deluxe figure. They will be expensive because of the die-cast and added detailing.

  6. Same height as a regular deluxe Transformer... And by the way, it doesn't feel cheap at all.
  7. Got it today. Nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I agree it could have been bigger with a perfect transformation, but as it is, it's still a pretty cool piece. About the only thing I don't like about it are the extendable legs in motoslave mode, they tend to disconnect. Posts should have been longer or foot pegs higher up on the legs.
  8. I think it looks pretty cool. I have one on the way (just getting one of the four).
  9. I loved the movie. CGI was pretty good too, as was the action. Liv Tyler is always her yummy self. First movie was good too. Different vision, but just as good imo.
  10. I don't mind automorph. I think it was particularly well executed on '08 BB, Ironhide, Starscream and Leader Optimus Prime. And seriously, they really don't take away much from the transformation, you still plenty of steps to do by yourself. I have yet to encounter a single defective toy with automorph (Movie or Animated) and I have them all and transform them often.
  11. Got mine. The transformation sequence is easy, it's lining up all the parts that is a pain in the ass (when transforming back to jet mode). Gorgeous figure, but like other Yamato toys, barely playable. In that style, MP-03 Starscream is a much, much better toy. Sturdier, costs a third of the price and is just as detailed and complex. Can you imagine if Takara was to work on a $175 seeker instead of $75? It would probably make Valks look like Gobots. ;P
  12. I watched it 3 times already since I got the DVD and it gets better every time. It's my favorite Rambo movie. Now can they do Lock Up 2?
  13. If you forgot that you ordered a $200+ toy, then either you really don't care for the hobby or you have way too much money to burn...
  14. Good review Graham. I don't agree on Yamato being superior to Takara or Bandai, but Yamato still make exciting high-end toys, that's a fact. Can't wait to get mine now (and the 1/48 VF-1J Hikaru I ordered the same day ).
  15. It looks fragile but brilliant nonetheless. Just found one for $235 shipped. What kind of pricing are you guys in America getting for it?
  16. Rise of the Constructicons was pure gold.
  17. Saw it on DVD the other day. Not very impressed. It's just a bad Godzilla vs Blair Witch Project.
  18. Or a Transformers version of Iron Man... Oh wait, we're getting one in August.
  19. I find MP-03 superior to all the valks released to this date. Cleaner, better transformation, more solid. THS-02 is pretty sweet too.
  20. Tell that to a Transformers fan for fun. If you design something to transform, make it transformable, not parts-formable.
  21. Cool, I think I'm going to get the blue version. Eventually. Someday. If I can afford it.
  22. Do you think this one is better than the 1/48 version?
