  1. I actually found this to be the trend with early 90s mecha shows starting with Macross 2. They would speed up the action scenes so you couldnt tell what was going on unless you freeze framed through the scene. I remember when i first watched Mac 2, i was frustrated that i couldnt get a clear look at the new valkyrie.
  2. I'd like to see official mp skyfire and galvatron releases as well as a megation redoes. I got a third party hegemon. I have to say I'm a little disappointed by it.
  3. I got the MP-09 Rodimus with no box version from TF-Direct. I took some pics right after i de-bubble wrapped this guy. I haven't even transformed him yet except slightly transforming completely to robot mode since he was shipped in a half transformed state. I took some crappy iphone pics. Basically looks good. The seam on the chest seems worse than the used hasbro one i have. The exhaust piece on the right hand doesn't seem to peg in. No problems on the left arm. The backpack seems to click in better than my hasbro one. There's something funky with the ankles. Can't seem to get them to match. I'll see if this is a problem after i properly transform him to car and back. I can't get the right leg panel to click in. Overall I'm glad i got him mainly because i wasn't going to buy him at the crazy prices they want for the official release. The Takara colors are better than the Hasbro colors in my book. Hot Rod/Rodimus was one of my favourite characters from my childhood. I was lucky enough to see the movie in the theatre back when it was first released. Ever since then I've wanted a decent toy which is why i can see through the faults of this toy. If your not a fan you probably won't be as forgiving.
  4. I already have 2 but i still get this if it didn't cost so much.
  5. Yeah i'd say ver 1 vf-25 is way better than ver 1 vf-1 (even in its time).
  6. Yeah i wasn't planning on getting him but for $125 i might reconsider. If AE didn't charge you upfront it'd be done.
  7. I remember breaking starscream in my parents car right in the parking lot of the store we bought him 10 minutes precious back in the 80s. Was so pissed how fragile it was. I was also pretty fond of the headmasters/ target master line. I think mostly cause of the comic miniseries. Always a fan of stories that involves other groups of transformers that weren't on earth with Optimus and the rest.
  8. Harmony Gold will never tolerate it like Hasbro/Takara does.
  9. I dunno. The Vf-3000 has always looked less advanced compared to the VF-1.
