    The SV-262 didn't strike me at first, but it quickly grew on me so I pick one up right a way.

    Mine just shipped out from AE for $163, not bad.

    Yeah, I'm slowly getting back into the game (collecting) and I snag one from HLJ yesterday and as of now it's still available. Not too many folks wanted this particular model, which is good for folks like myself.

    Noel, as much as I wanted the VF-31C, you should wait, I think that is too much of a markup at this early stage. Don't jump the gun just yet.

    Hey guys and gals I was sober for three years from collecting Macross Toys, but now it’s beginning to slowly reeling me back in and I know there’s no known cure for it. I was up all night trying to secure one VF-31C, but all manage to slip away from my sluggish fingers. My second fav is the VF-31F Messer, even though preorders keep popping back up here and there that manage to slip away from me as well. Maybe this hobby isn’t for me anymore. Although I did manage to snatch a SV-232 this morning when HLJ had more for sell. Now I need to preorder the ghost for it. This particular aircraft didn’t strike me at first, but after seeing all the beautiful pics from everyone here, I must have one. This plastic-crack is very addicting and there’s no way out. Vincent

    MT version is slightly too small, it's shorter than MP Ironhide and the tip of the wings "ears" on MMC version is too small. Both version just seems off. XTB had just showed there proto version, just a tad shorter than MP-10 and taller than MP Ironhide, this is how I imagine Inferno would be. The only thing that bug me is that ugly hinge that connect the head/ladder. Hopefully XTB improve the QC, otherwise, I'll wait for another offer. Inferno is not one of my strong character, but I do like fire trucks.

    It looks nice, I was thinking of dressing up my MP Exhaust too. I just saw one one the Chinese web, but 13 bucks with S&H is a bit steep for me, I think it's one of those dry transfer. I got one for MP Wheeljack and it looks really nice.
  9. Valkyrie2008
    I second that. Well, I only collect G1 Masterpiece style and I can barely afford that too.

    Nice haul Ace! Sphinx looks great in alt mode, but in bot mode, the face just doesn't scream Mirage, other than that it's a great piece.

    Takara made the front end of Tracks's hood a bit short, but like David said, if you slide it back it will sit correctly. You may have to lift the hood, push the back of the hood down first, then push the front. Having a big gap at the front of the hood is my biggest complaint. I think so far Wheeljack has the best fitting in alt mode.

    I believed those lines in the center are just reference guide, making sure the Hood, Engine, Windshield, and spoiler are all aligned correctly.

    OMG!!! I think my heart skipped a few beats then I saw these photos. If this turned out to be true, I'll definitely cancel my MP-28 preorder. I’ll gladly double dip on this figure from FT. The “fake chest” as most of you call it, is just like MP-09 transformation, which does not bother me one bit. Even the flames on bot mode and alt mode looks exactly like MP-09. The cockpit does seem to open and there’s more interior room than the one on MP-09. I think this is the improved version of MP-09 Hot Rod and I absolutely love it. Where’s the preorder button!!!

    I had the same issue at first and I was trying to force it in. I even though of sanding it down, but then I realize it just needed to be align a little lower and it peg in just fine. Tracks is probably my favorite of all, due to the fact that he’s a cool looking flying car. Back in the days, as a kid, always daydreaming how cool would it be to have a flying car, and to this day no different. The moment I heard Takara is making MP Tracks, I was shock. I mean, what are the chances of Tracks getting an MP treatment. I’d wish Takara would’ve included die-cast and rubber tires just like the G1 version. Even though tracks were the favorite of mine, back then I wasn’t able to own one, but I was able to snatch one on the reissue version. I still love that little blue Vett and I especially love the flame on the hood. I think the flame on Hot Rod’s hood derive from Tracks. And Hot Rod happened to be my second favorite.

    Nice review VF5SS, but you forgot to flip the front of the hood to cover the feet. MP Tracks arrive to my door steps yesterday after sitting in custom for half a day. I must say, Tracks is pretty cool and the paint job is superb and they finally paint the inside sideview mirrow silver. Oh for those who are wondering about the "backpack", it does lock in place well. Both knee joints are a bit loose on my Tracks. I do have a few nitpick though. 1: Tracks head is out of scale and his eyes are way too small. 2: The gap on the hood is too large to be egnore and it doesn't lock in place in bot mode. 3: Why bother to include a human figure that is way too small and he can't even hold little Blaster.

    That's why you have your meds next to your toys!
  17. Valkyrie2008
    Already got spear decals to replace that
  18. Valkyrie2008
    Got it on preorder, but I did hesitate a lot. My final conclusion was, it got die-cast and rubber tires, which the official Mirage will never have (if they do decide to release Mirage someday). I do think the box is ugly though.
  19. Valkyrie2008
    Some how MP Ratchet looks a lot better than MP Ironhide, even with that side skirt it kidda blend in, maybe because it's the white color.
  20. Valkyrie2008
    425K yen? sweet deal, but I think the plan is ugly.
  21. Valkyrie2008
    Hmm, this would be a perfect MP Jetfire transformer! I'm in, just hope the price is reasonable.
  22. Valkyrie2008
    Your new recruits need some insignia
  23. Valkyrie2008
    I think i'll go with FT version of not-hound, but I do like the shoulder missile on Maketoys version. I'm not a fan of any company, but I am a fan of toys that are appealing to my eyes and that's how I choose.
  24. Valkyrie2008
    I'm also in, been waiting forever and I'm not willing to pay evil-bay price for the igear version. At this point I don't think Takara will ever do another mold for the seekers.

    Awesome Years ago I had a plan of creating one made out of foam, but never got the time. I still have all the materials stored in the storage.
