    Yeah, I keep seeing YouTube reviewers saying the same thing about how it’s a great time to be a Transformer collector now. I was really impressed with the Studio Series Optimus Prime for how anime accurate it is and the price point (at least compared to Macross toys). And I’ve always had a weakness for Devastator. My only regret is missing out on that Legacy Menasor set. I’m still a little on the fence about the Age of the Primes combiners using that frame system, but I guess for the sake of accuracy and stability it makes sense.

    I just started collecting Transformers again due to the recent tariff situation in the U.S. I've managed to gather a complete Studio Series Devastator, Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Grimlock, and Sludge. I'm impressed by them considering they aren't $200+ Masterpiece figures.

    I completely forgot about Alto’s Armored version. I bet that will come out next since it’s another hero toy and an easy repaint for Bandai.

    Is there anything left for Bandai to do a Revival release besides Luca? The generic cannon fodder VF-25? The only other toys I can think of are the Quarter and the Konig.

    Does it actually come with the Elvis raised lip face like in the video?
  6. rsvictor1976
    Yes, not by much though.

    I didn't have any issues with the VF-171EX Revival either. Everything worked and had the right friction right out of the box. The only issues I've ever had with the Revival Valkyries has been with Alto's VF-25F having a one loose shoulder (which I was able to fix), the VF-25F Tornado's loose cannon/back panel, and the recent VF-27γSP joints that I mentioned.

    Hi-Metal R

    I haven't watched Votoms yet but the toy looks great. Are the smoke effects included or is it a separate accessory?

    I got my VF-27γSP Revival and am little disappointed that the hips were not as tight compared to the recent VF-25F Tornado or Armored Ozma Revival release. The legs aren't floppy but can definitely tell they're loose.

    Why is this $1000? You can buy the entire Titanic for under $700 and this thing is only a slice of the Death Star?!

    I think the saucer needs to be a little bigger.
  12. rsvictor1976
    i kind of like how it looks in Gerwalk mode.

    Hopefully a third party upgrade comes out that addresses the chess void and the leg attachment. The large derriere doesn't bother me too much, even '86 Prime has a big butt.
  14. rsvictor1976
    From what I can tell from that video, the joints and that pelvic attachment looks tight. Hopefully that QC problem Cod roe got with his unit isn’t common.

    I don't know how I feel about these Toynami chunky monkeys. I always wanted to collect them again but Toynami doesn't have the best track record.

    I don’t really see any difference between this and the current HMR 0S and 0A w/Ghost. Unless I’m missing something?
  17. rsvictor1976
    I know it's just X translation. I wonder if he's saying that his older toy has weak joints because it's been on display for a while. I wish he'd clarify if the new version is well made or not.

    No, new VF-1s from Bandai this year. Everything coming out so far is either a Frontier reissue or Macross 7 related. All the new VF-1 releases are from other parties like ThreeZero and Unix Square. Probably easier to just check out Tamashii's product page to see all the Macross related toys Bandai will release: https://tamashiiweb.com/item_character/macross_series/?wovn=en

    Yeah, I just picked one up. Came out to around $110 with shipping. It’s still not as cheap as what Mandarake is selling it for, but it’s been hard to find them in stock there.
  20. rsvictor1976
    The one on Mandarake? If you really want it, get it before it’s too late. It’s not like they’re easily available.
  21. rsvictor1976
    I'm not a big fan of the Valkyrie, but the Tomahawk armor for it looks pretty good.
  22. rsvictor1976
    Includes TV series and movies with English subtitles.
  23. rsvictor1976
    Didn’t you get one of these already or was that the 1S?
  24. rsvictor1976
    I just realized that the Apple symbol looks like a puddle directly underneath your Valkyrie. Did it have an accident?
  25. rsvictor1976
    I got that same email and thought it was funny how they highlighted the "may now contact customer support to request shipment" part. It's hard to read on my phone and I thought it was some spoiler they were trying to hide.
