  1. My friends like to call me "Peter Pan" - cos I play with toys and never grew up. When we rented and the agents did their regular inspection, after the lady would get to the spare room and see 'it',her expression read something like "uh oh, this freak is a serial killer.. don't make any sudden moves.. back away slowly to the exit.." My mother just thinks I am mad and/or semi-retarded for collecting toys.
  2. all the better to be in disguise! Everyone knows bright red flames are the best form of camouflage! I am hating the paint scheme. why can't they just be traditional and make it red?
  3. Actually Guppy, TakaraTomy has moved away from making their Alternator Mold Transformers in Die-cast i really don't know what kind of Mirage to expect from them because of this (if at all), but I'm hoping they'll come to their senses when this TF:Kiss idea bombs and move back to making Real Metal Binaltechs with Mirage as one of their first new releases. Here's hoping. 412704[/snapback] Ahh... of course. After I got Prowl and Grimlock I stopped paying attention. Now you mention it, I was wondering why I hadn't seen any more BT releases recently, only that KISS rel-release crap. On the bright side, Mirage will be a lot cheaper. I've been religiously buying them all in diecast.
  4. just when I thought my interest in BT's had ended.. sold. I'm getting that fo' sho'.
  5. I remember I loved my gobots combiner power suit thingy. this one: http://www.toyarchive.com/Gobots/Combiners/Courageous.html I sometimes think of buying it off ebay for nostalgia's sake.
  6. I just showed my wife the "for the ladies"... she's laughing. dunno if it's at me or with me.
  7. interesting.. up til now I thought this WAS a reboot of the Supes franchise. I haven't been paying attention to this movie at all. Also, they had Superman 3 on TV a few nights ago. I couldn't look away.. it was awful. I haven't seen it since I was a kid at the cinemas.. it's just a 2 hour Richard Pryor slapstick vehicle. It seems it was only made cos he was a hot item at the time.
  8. good time to do a poll like this. seems like a lot of interesting stuff will be coming our way. I voted SV-51 as I reckon that'll be a likely choice, although I have no idea how you'd make a toy work in battroid mode. it'd be so thin it would break if the wind picked up.
  9. didn't want to start a new thread but wanted some info on this: http://www.toymania.com/news/messages/5098.shtml it's an Aliens Deluxe Playset - like a diorama thing. none of the figures seem to be painted though. Saw it in a game shop today on sale and almost bought it. but then thought where the hell would I put it?? Anyone got this? good/bad/worthless?
  10. haha.. so true. instant death for everyone! I just watched it again the other day and was shocked. Even main characters like Wheeljack who you just see lying dead for 3 frames.

    oh NO! It looks so much better... I say 'no' cuz now I want to buy it. I was happily disappointed with the old colours as I had no spare toy money..
  12. Also Garth Ennis' comic The Pro has funny take on superhero sex too.
  13. looks great! If I was to have one tiny gripe, I wish the symbiote suit was smooth. The movie one looks like his usual suit with the colour dropped out. But like Azrael said, might see the smooth suit one day.
  14. no.. I have about 10 1/60's. I just couldn't sell all of them and replace them with another 10 1/60's. I'd probably buy one just to check it out though.
  15. being an Aussie it's really interesting to watch the cultural revolution with soccer in this country right now. Aussies love their football (rugby leage, rugby union and AFL) so Soccer always got left behind. Add to the fact we've never been very good. In my lifetime (30 years) soccer has never been very popular in the mainstream. I played for several years as a kid and it wasn't something you went telling everyone! So now with the whole country going apesh*t for soccer it's something I've never seen before.
  16. that there's a BIG fat cat out of the bag!! But jeez.. a prototype made out of FLESH???
  17. I notice Graham is making a lot of non-commital replies such as "you know I can't say" and "if I told you I'd have to kill you" .. it pretty much translates as "yes." - otherwise there would be no need for such hush-hush replies! man I should have been a reverse psychologist.
  18. man, yamato have been busy lately. They're releasing stuff like crazy. I am guessing this will be a year off, at least. Even though there is a "2006" in that bit in the bottom left corner. And the hands look good! Not like the 1/48 chicken hands.
  19. is that the dollie you're referring to? err, I mean, Man Doll.
  20. I'm with G. I work in TV and they're pretty dull on the whole actually. some are funny, some are nice, some are nasty, lots are up themselves and most are just average people in the right place and the right time. One of the most embarrassing was the guy who plays c3p0. he would do the c3po voice to strangers walking by to attract attention as we were filming his interview.
  21. yaay! bring on the specials! Pity I don't like dollies.
  22. funny, I like it less when I see it coloured. I guess the MP fighter mode looks so close to a real F-15, I'd like to see it in a real world paint scheme rather than the cartoony red white and blue.
  23. funny you started this thread now, I just pulled out my Pred dvd and watched the special features yesterday. heaps of mini docs, outtakes, bloopers and yes, the hilarious ant-predator.
  24. I thought it was Prime's. But then why would he be eyeing the planet earth like it was a tasty treat? That's more megatron's style.
