Mecha Mad and Figure Fixation V 2.0

[Super Grover]

You will get nailed on Customs from HLJ though Grover.

Can't fault them otherwise.

Goddam it Neo! I've just bloody ordered it!!!!

It's only 1/72 scale, so I'm hoping it'll come in a fairly smallish box.

If it's over ?18 you'll be done regardless of size my friend.

Is that value of the product or does that incl. postage too?

The kit was only ?10 (in the sale). The delivery was something like ?11.

[shaffy_oppa]

It'll be fine. From what I've realised if the product is over the ?18 limit then they factor in the shipping too otherwise they don't. I think anyway.

New scans for Masterpiece Ultra Magnus...




Loving the inclusion of the 2nd grimace face for the opening the Matrix pose...that's just awesome

The alt mode shot next to MP10 Prime is just sweet.
Almost makes me want 2 of each now for alt mode display.

Speaking of which it appears that MP10 / 11 / 12 / 14 (Prime, Starscream, Sideswipe & Red Alert) are getting re-releases in Jpn in 2015

Sideswipe & Red Alert in Feb
Starscream in Mar
Prime in April

I'm in for Red Alert & Prime definitely.

You've missed an "/" in your img wrap tag, dude, but I copied and pasted the link and it looks sweet!

They're all too expensive for me though. I'll have to source one of those cheaper knock-offs you said were on eBay. I doubt the 2015 reissues will be cheap either.

I also want the Megatrondrive and Optimus Pen too, they're great!

[Soundwave]

Thanks QC fixed it now.
I'm getting more impressed by Magnus the more I see of him.

The knock offs really are good, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference if I'm honest.

The main thing with the re-issues is they will be retail & stop the current price gouging for Prime & Red Alert especially which will be nice

I think the Prime pen is awesome...can;t believe how poseable he'll be

That's also what's stuck me about the recent re-releases of Grimlock (even if he's gone up in price). It's a nice chance for those who missed out first time to pick one up. Part of me wouldn't mind Starscream simply becuase he's a more recognisable character than Acid Rain but it'll depend on price etc.

Don't share your enthusiasm for the pen though, just becuase it looks awful in pen mode!

There's no one perfect thread for this, but I picked up issue 401 of Starburst yesterday. It's packed full of robots and kaiju!

http://www.starburstmagazine.com/subscribe/latest-issue

You don?t have to travel to the far reaches of outer space to discover the true origins of Optimus Prime and friends, everything you need to know about the history of THE TRANSFORMERS is right here, from their humble action figure debut in 1984, across their three decade domination of TV, comic books, and movies! The AGE OF EXTINCTION nears, and STARBURST is on hand to prepare you for it!

+ The GOBOTS will forever be remembered as the poor man?s Transformer, but was there more to Tonka?s toyline than met the eye? (Spoiler: No. They were rubbish.)

+ To coincide with Legendary Pictures? GODZILLA stomping its way into cinemas, we conclude our two-part look at the big fella?s formidable back catalogue and pay tribute to his (and Godzooky?s) oft-forgotten ?80s Hanna-Barbera cartoon spin-off!

+ Filmmaker E.L. KATZ fills us in on his new critically acclaimed black comedy, CHEAP THRILLS.

+ Hiccup and Toothless are back! In anticipation of DreamWorks? upcoming HOW TO DRAGON YOUR DRAGON 2, we explore the franchise?s past, present and future.

+ Master of horror STUART GORDON talks about the upcoming Blu-ray resurrection of his 1985 classic RE-ANIMATOR.

+ Your favourite COLUMNS, NEWS, REVIEWS and much MORE from the worlds of SCI-FI, HORROR and FANTASY!

Did you get the Harley Arkham B&W Statue Neil?

Colour one is coming, looks great. Apparently they are doing Catwoman in colour too, would be surprised if they all don't make it to colour eventually.

for once I think I prefer the b&w versions when it comes to those
