I took about 20 years off but then my son started getting interested and we went to some skateparks and just like that, I got back into it. It’s been tough trying to get some tricks back but I’ve also learned new things I was never able to do before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar in quality to the VF-1S Messer where it feels like slightly softer plastic.  Everything else is the same as other HMR VF-1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, haha gotcha! That's all good as long as you enjoyed it. Here's my old school style deck that I put together recently using a combination of old and new parts: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the 80’s. The 1/55 Chunky still can’t be beat to this day as the greatest TOY (not just Valk) ever made. That Mcgill is my favorite all time Powell graphic. But these were my favorite overall boards from back in the day. Edited May 4 by Slave IV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever see Dogtown and Z Boys? Best skateboard documentary I've ever seen.  Really captures that time period. Highly recommend it. I think if you showed it to your son he would have a really good idea of where you're coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’ve seen it but my family hasn’t. They’ve watched a lot of skate videos though. Bones Brigade Search For Animal Chin and stuff like that to current videos. We’ll get to that movie again sometime but good reminder. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Four new Mafex figures and the new Plum Gradius 2 Vic Viper model (yet to be panel-lined/glued in spots) The Cyclopse figure is being almost unanimously reviewed wrong concerning his paint apps too. Great figure.

MKT Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Got the recent re-issue of TruForce Megaman. This thing is pretty amazing, and well worth the price especially when every other toy has rocketed upwards in price recently.. Someday hope to pick up the Riobot Megaman in Falcon armor to match it.

Sadly the Falcon Armor is not the same quality as the Mega Man X one.  I still super bummed that Truforce never did other armor designs or the robot masters. Could you imagine a Storm Eagle with the same intricate design, build and paint as Mega Man? It would be sooo good. I’m also bummed that I never picked up the black version of X when it was reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really have a winner with this Mega Man X. The engineering is pretty awesome, lots of articulation with old-school gokin weight in hand. On one hand I’m a bit bummed to have only discovered this relatively recently, thereby missing out on the 3 other gorgeous limited repaints, but on other hand I’m thankful to have at least the X without paying aftermarket premium. I’m happy if they could somehow release those limited repaints again, let alone other armors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
