Metal_Massacre_79 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I think people are finally catching on to the scalper's games. No one is really bidding on the MP Screamer's on eRape. All of the $90 and above items are Buy It Now and the only ones with bids I think are under $70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy's Blues Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 here's a couple of shots of the Darth Vader/Deathstar Transformer with Unicron and Primus. In the background, besides the dust, are all the accessories. I may put them all in robot mode for a final battle, but DV is a PITA to change to, umm round mode. (yeah, the scale is a little off) I find all of them pretty fun, and would advise anyone to go out and get them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fit For Natalie Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Guys, I need support here - in the thread for Deep Space Starscream, the apparently movie-accurate repaint of Starscream, I have folks disputing the toy's accuracy because 'Starscream is tan', because the original release of the toy was tan and he looked that way in the movie. One guy is also claiming the Raptor is 'tannish grey'. Apparently they don't notice that every appearance of Starscream in the movie has him framed against sunset (sunset being Michael Bay's film making cliche), so Starscream, the other Transformers and the other Raptors are bathed in a golden light.

Guest sh002 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 they mean this one. looks ok but still don't like the overall design so any amount of accurate paint won't help much. anyway this custom alternators bumblebee looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 That's a pretty wicked custom, though I never saw Bumblebee with such a mean look on his face. I think I'm gonna call it quits on the hunt for MP SS. MWer cschell has offered to sell me his extra at cost, but I'll still keep an eye out for an extra one for any MWer that can't find it.

David Hingtgen Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 FFN---I just posted some pics of Langley's F-22's, showing them to be both dark grey, and metallic--just like the toy. See here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showpost.php...p;postcount=159 The famous pic showing all the cars and the F-22 used for filming actually is the wrong paint scheme--but you can't tell because they only used it for the one shot at sunset on the ground where you see SS's "pilot". F-22's have several paint schemes, and SS is supposed to be one of the silvery metallic ones from Langley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Yup. Edwards has old Raptors (technically "LRP" Raptors----really close, but not quite production versions---testing only, will never see action) And they don't have the nifty metallic paint that all of Langley's do, and most of Tyndall's and Eglin's do.

mpchi Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 anyway this custom alternators bumblebee looks cool. Nice. But not sure if that face and body type suit Bumblebee that well. He does look mean (wonder why the guy didn't use a Classic BB's head, which has a very nice sculpt), and the top heavy body type is not quite him. Though the round Civic Coupe does. Still don't quite understand how they can leave out Bumblebee from the BT line, regardless not able to get a VW license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Either I'm the only one who's seen it, or I missed the reports. But about 3 days ago I found a new version of Ultimate Bumblebee, with Deluxe Brawl and (can't remember, Barricade?) packed in. That's a heck of a pack-in, 2 full-fledged main-character deluxes. Still doesn't make Ult BB worth it, but it's out there. I couldn't find a price tag, I presume it's the same as regular BB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit For Natalie Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) I found the AllSpark Power deluxe class toys today: Cliffjumper (Bumblebee repaint), Camshaft (Swindle repaint) and Landmine (Sector Seven buggy). Hasbro says they're supposed to be out early 2008. I look at how perfectly round DV and Primus are, and I wonder if now that Hasbro has everything worked out, if they could go back and give us a perfectly round unicron. Might be quite awhile. Primus and Unicron were the centerpiece toys of their respective lines, so they'll probably wait until some future toyline has a story where Unicron is once against being a prick who needs to be put down.
