The VF-4 fighter mode does look good. What show was the VF-4 in?

A few seconds in Flashback 2012

Wasn't there also a model of it on Hikaru's desk in his room in DYRL the original series? (I don't have the screenshot but I believe it was a VF-4)

Edit: Apparently it was the last episode of the SDF TV series.

Wooho. Finally got my big swag box. Working from home today too :D

Today's suggested work schedule:

1hr- filling out paperwork, computer stuff, important work stuff :(

7hrs- transforming, swooshing, reviewing new purchases :)

30 minute lunch break looking at new purchases. :wub:

I'd say "let's call it a day for working"

Hahaha! That's a great itinerary! LOL.

Plus my Carolina Tar Heels are playing in the Sweet Sixteen tonight. So I'm excited.

I'll probably just open Star Saber today. I like to space it out to enjoy each one.

Hey Yeti. No idea on the 29, is there a way of telling?

It was sold as used but the one I got wasn't the one pictured as the hands and knife Baggie was still sealed.

Joints are all good. :)

Loving the masterpiece cars, especially at KO prices ;)

I picked up a KO g2 sideswipe to compare. They are so close, but the fit and finish on the takara's are much better.

I'd hope so given the price difference, but these are just a bit of fun really so I don't mind.

Being a bit cheaper than Takara/Hasbro (and a lot cheaper than valks!) they are more fun to pick up and mess with as any breakages aren't a big deal. So I ordered more lol.

Thanks abbadon and Gakken :)

Very sleek looking bird ain't she! Hey cool stand too! is that something you made or a display riser? Looks to fit under the Valk very nicely!

All together at the same time, next month eat grass...

Very nice lot you have there! And there ain't anything wrong with eating grass! Except for the whole can't digest it thing.. but at lease you will ease the hunger pains from not having food to afford! I hear dirt cakes are lovely too!

A relative in Japan picked these up for me.

Hmmm very handy to have!

so many people getting Super Ostriches lately.

I know eh! im still waiting for mine to arrive from the Japan Auctions fowarding company.. hopefully it and my M&M's will arrive this week!

Just got these bad boys in:

I lowered the price of the stands by $5. Stickers are $5, and available here:

did anyone race these back in the nineties. i hear there are guys somewhere in san diego that race these in their backyards. for money. or so they say. plus some guys who throw a local toyshow have a decent size track that they setup.

soi picked up one with the new chassis. but put on an old body for nostalgic reasons. the newer technology is waaaaaaaay different from what we had in ninetyseven.

Nostalgia!

Is that a bit of a collaboration there, Saburo? If so, my congratulations!

I guess my reputation proceeded me... friend had mentioned to the owner of ToyDojo that I photograph toys. Toydojo had a booth at ECCC (Emerald City Comic Con) and I stopped by. So when I was introduced owner, we talked and he asked if I wanted to take photos of the production sample of the Megatron. I said sure. :)

I just need the same thing to happen with Arcadia and Bandai...

that's one fantastic looking Megatron!!

Thanks Spanner! Its a nice figure, there are some minor issue but what toy doesn't have them.

Megatron looks kinda off without his Decepticon logo. That empty space on his chest begs for something to be placed on it

Yes, it looks strange... but that can be easily fixed. ;)

Nice work, Saburo! Those Apollyon (Megatron) pics look amazing! The figure itself looks promising.

Thanks, the figure is nice, the transformation is intricate and you have to finesse it to get everything to line up correctly. Gun mode is really cool.
