Tking22 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 FINALLY! After receiving this absolute beast on Saturday thanks to TCP, who are the BEST in third party retail within the US, I got to crack open this holy grail I've been waiting on. MASTERPIECE OMEGA SUPREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This thing is glorious! The only G1 figure I actually ever owned was this guy, so even if I didn't collect G1 MP, which I do, extensively, I probably would have gotten him anyway, he is a very special character and release for me. The figure is beautiful, over two feet tall, and he's exactly what I hoped for and wanted. THIS is something I am 100% certain Takara will never do, they may do a Titans, or POTP, or some other version, but an MP Omega? Never. This thing is nuts, and I'm glad to finally have my hands on him. Unfortunately I have a LOT of re-arranging to do, he doesn't fit anywhere while assembled, and his base mode is even bigger, so I need to figure some things out before I can fit him in with my other Autobots.

Valkyrie Driver Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 There are only a couple of Transformers toys I would really want... One is the G2 Hooligan figure, i had one as a kid and I adored it. Shame I ended up losing it. The other is a Masterpiece Starscream, the one that Shoji Kawamori designed, the one that turns into an F-15E, MP-03 I think it is. Congrats everyone on the arrival of your purchases!

sh9000 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I think I’ll add that Omega Supreme to my pile of loot right before it ships out. These came out to $15.99 each. Still not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Canopy tint from ultra dark blue to an almost aqua tone, fold crystals from the bizarre blue to a more appropriate Fold Crystal Purple, and a very tedious and frustrating attempt to give the front sensor window a body tinted "frame" around the segments. Here's a look at what they're like, stock: Sorry for the O/T... Edited October 18, 2017 by mickyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Also: panel lining, missile bodies painted, and landing gear and bays painted white and washed a bit as you can see. It’s about the best 29 available, which is why I jumped on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Sorry for the vertical photo, just used my phone and felt this was best due to his sheer height. He's pretty damn amazing, and quite sturdy for his size, he has little "locks" in his feet that can hold a basic standing pose fine, then you can click them out of place and get ankle rocker. His transformation only gets fiddly in the legs, folding them out into the longer parts of the track in his alt mode can take some time, you have to maneuver a bunch of plastic and ratchets through an open hangar you create in the side of the leg, it's kind of a mess. Other then that though, he's Masterpiece Omega alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hachi Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 My first ever DX Chogokin, Mirage's VF-31C finally arrived! Along with some books: Gundam Design Works by Akira Yasuda (because I love Turn A Gundam), Lost In Anime by Thomas Romain, and The Ghost in the Shell Bilingual comics. I already have a copy of the translated GITS but it was already yellowing. And I didn't want to get the deluxe edition because it was censored. Haven't read it yet but I might compare it to the old copy I have one of these days (when I get it out of storage). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saburo Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 @Sildani That Grace VF-27 with Super Parts looks awesome, nice that you got the parts from @mickyg! I kinda want to do that too, tracking down some who wants to sell just the Super parts will be tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I should thank @Xigfrid as well - he actually got the ball rolling on this deal by sending me a PM about a few VF-27s up for sale. I damaged my gun by attempting to straighten out a very slight curve and made it 10x worse in the process. Anyway, he contacted me and told me I could always sell Sildani the super parts. In the end, the option of buying a whole '27 turned out way too expensive but I realised I didn't intend on ever displaying the supers on what I had. I contacted Sildani to see if he was still looking and the rest just sort of developed from there. It's great to have such a supportive and truly global community of folks!

That's just the regular, Takara Masterpiece MP-10 Optimus, my MPP-10 and MPP-10B are in storage, I only use them for alt/vehicle mode scale. MPP-10 would be roughly at the upper part of Omega's thigh though from what I remember of his bot mode height . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, I believe the only difference is how long its been aged. I went to the distillery and tried the 25 year Yamazaki (no bottles for sale)... 2500 yen just for 30 ml tasting glass! It was amazing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguanaman8989 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Another HLJ haul. Robot Damashii TRI figures aren’t quite as possible as the usual line, but are more than adequate, for about half the price. ZZ ver Ka looks simply amazing, especially compared to the original, Frame Arms just ‘cuz it looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
