ArchieNov Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I have a bunch of Riobots in my collection, and I'm not bummed about diecast content. Actually, I think it's better not having diecast since there's less chance for paint chipping and less stress on the joints. It's also easier to get airborne poses on the stand. Diecast content doesn't equal quality in my book. It's the engineering, sculpt, and paint applications that justify a figure's price to me.

abbadon Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Really been thinking about pickup up MP Ratchet and Ironhide..let us know what you think of Ratchet. They're both really solid toys, with superb transformation scheme. As much as I love Ironhide, I think Ratchet is my favorite amongst the two MP van bros.

Mine is sitting now in PW along with the newly purchased VF-4G. I am determined to finish both the 1/4000 Cruiser and now this Fortress mode SDF-1, someday soon it will be all done! If anything the Box Art alone makes a great display! I was gonna go for another VF-4 but damn, not fast enough on the "Add to cart button".... Oh well, still glad I have one & only Precious!

That box art is a killer. And true, the VF-4G sale price is what made me pull the trigger. Would it be nice instead of having one and only precious, to have 'twins' instead?

ChaoticYeti Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Another Lego set found its way onto my desk. I seem to get a hard itch every few months and pick up a couple sets. http://imgur.com/a/QxNXv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Cool, I got that Ghost too last year. Too bad it doesn't scale properly with the Falcon. The Ghost is supposed to be quite bigger than it. Since becoming an AFOL last year starting with Poe's X-Wing (which I blame on you for posting pics of it back then 😊), I've only bought Star Wars sets. But now I'm tempted to buy the Technic 42052 Heavy Lift Helicopter. I haven't built a Technic since I was a kid, so I can't imagine how things have improved since then. The chopper looks pretty good from the outside and looks "less technic-y". Back then, Technic mostly made use of those bricks with holes and their models looked like skeleton frames. This chopper looks like it has a more complete outside shell. Edited June 16, 2016 by ArchieNov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'm tempted to get that copter for the sole purpose of figuring out how on earth they rigged up a counter-rotating prop. What I really need to do though is get back into the game and figure out how to make that 1/18th VF-1S workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieNov Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Cos I can more so justify the high costs of Valks considering thats what im into but the Lego not so much.. :/ Hehe point taken. One thing I like about Lego is its almost unparalleled longevity. And even if some parts manage to break, you can always just buy a replacement part and it's as good as new. If there's something you're not satisfied with, you can customize or improve it to your liking. The value holds up pretty well too and you can always sell it for parts.
