Well dang.

Has some minuses though. Like the inability to play carts, or use the actual original controllers (although the new ones should be just fine and they can be used on the Wii/Wii U via the Wiimote!!). And hey, it comes with SMB3, Castlevania, Double Dragon II, Mega Man 2, The Legend of Zelda, Bubble Bobble, Gradius, Tecmo Bowl, and Metroid. That's good enough for me. I'm thinking they only put games on there that they already have in the Virtual Console service as the first Contra and Castlevania 3 aren't included.

I already did. Granted it's a different version, but I have that digure, and it is **** amazing.
Oh. Well. Fine then

I guess I'm in the Cobotron boat here and feel that Takara will EVENTUALLY make him and I'll wait. I like Mirage, but I'm not missing not having him I suppose. Yet..

I'm just saying, Takara will have to work a pretty amazing miracle to out do Sphinx.

Huh, I missed all kinds of fun, but this, I want this, I need this, I will get this!!!

And I think it has a few games not on VC yet :-P

Also, Startropics is a game I played but I never could get into it.

That thing is pretty awesome. It's worth it to me, even though I have so much other gaming stuff! I'm ridiculous

It's going to fill a niche and will be Nintendo's way of printing money this holiday season. 4 of my non-Nintendo console owning friends want to pre-order it, which I find quite telling.

Also! All of the games ARE in the Virtual Console, with all but ONE in the Wii VC (Dr. Mario of all games) and 6 missing from the Wii U VC. The Wii Shop Channel is still running, as I have a few games on the Wii VC and then a few Wii games from the Wii U VC, all of which run on the Wii U. Hooray!

If the Nintendo NX plays Blu-ray discs (which we all know it won't

) I would be the happiest ever, and then not have to think about what I'm missing elsewhere. Although, if Microsoft gets off their butt and gets the games from XBOX Live Arcade that I purchased on the 360 up and running on the One..yes, I know there is a request forum for it. It's amazing how many people start topics with the incorrect information. >:oP

Titans Return Powermaster Optimus Prime = underwhelmed :-(

I want it solely because I collect Primes, bit I'm waiting to see what Takara does.

Bummer man, I hate when that happens. Did ya over hype him in your head?

'densh: Well, I'm gonna guess a darker red for the reds, maybe a darker blue, better coloring on the Ginrai Godmaster, and paint apps where there should be instead of blank plastic. In other words, worth the wait.

Cary, yes I did. He seems loose. Elbows that look like they should be ratchets aren't as strong as I'd like, the plastic feels cheap, tabs don't tab as well as they should, I actually like Ultra Magnus more! Sad cram.

I'll have pictures up later though. :lol:

Sad Cram makes sad Cobs sad.

I've been debating waiting out Takara's. Maybe I will.

I'm sorry Cobro. Sad Cobro makes Cram sadder!!

Please do wait.

Seeing this makes me happy though. FANSTOYS Sovereign.

So, this guy arrived yesterday.

And I was pretty excited!! Titans Returning and such!! One of my favorite G1s officially re-imagined!!

So I opened the (surprisingly light) box!! Pretty cool looking figure. Lots of "I see what you did there" and stuff. Easy transformation. I did notice then how light the plastic was in areas and I really don't think the tabs will hold up over time. There's no way they can. My other issue is the joints seem loose/weak. He has a constant lean either back or forwards, and his A-frame stance always has one leg clicked out further than the other.

That said, he can get dynamic.

OG would have none of that.

Pootie Tang reference..

And relax.

Vehicle mode with a similar and an original (AND the original of the similar!!)!

Music mode!

So, recapping, wait for Takara's.

POWAAAAAH - and yet, it does nothing to make me like it. It feels very.. whelming.

Cool robot. Sure. I'll look at pictures.

Yeah. I mean, he's cool, I just got way too excited for him. It's weird, I like CW leader Megatron the most out of the last few leader molds I picked up (Generations Jetfire, CW leader Magnus, TR leader Optimus).
