Yes Cram! Takara Arcee is the shiz! I'm happy FOR you! A little late to the game though no?

I buy pretty much every set of "first released Turtles". Cause you know, after Wave 1 they become astronauts, chefs, football players, ect. But I never noticed those shell storage ones, they look pretty dope. I has the jellies. And MAN, remember the revoltech Turtles? I sat on the fence about those so long I got splinters. All this Turtle love makes me wanna go pre-order at least Ralph.... but so many robits to buy...

I have such a hard time leaving Metalhead on the peg everything I see him.

So him today actually, but Paralon won out.

News Credits: 293 · Mon Sep 26, 2016 9:17 pm

I did buy him!!!! I've always had a deep love for Metalhead

News Credits: 1646 · Mon Sep 26, 2016 9:21 pm

Can someone give me a history lesson on "Metal Head"?

Thanks about Arcee, and yeah, TOTALLY late to the party. Somehow never found her at retail, didn't want to pay $30 for the Hasbro Generations everywhere I saw it, but ended up caving on a $40 Takara Legends version..*sigh*

I remember having the Battle Shell Turtles from their G1 series as a kid, and was SUPER happy to see them again. They did make bigger versions, which I was basing the weapon modes on (as well as accuracy). They do go crazy with the variants, and they've even brought back the Classic series!!

Those dang Revoltechs. So much money! I think I spent $25 on the 4 turtles I have total from Amazon.

Y'know what's cray? When I was excavating this weekend I came across my old TF revoltech boxes. They had stickers with a price tag of 25 CAD each!!! For an import toy! If you can even find them in my stupid town these days they're an easy 60 a pop if not more

For real! I remember buying the Revoltech Rodimus for $20 or something and I thought that was crazy pricy for a non-transforming Transformer!

I hate that figure..

Well, he was a bad guy in the original series (I think..) he's a good guy now..? He went rogue but Donnie wrangled him in.

I know he was a boss in Turtles in Time! :lol:

Non transforming figures/toys make no sense to me.

Second stage, Alley Cat Blues, damn I played a lot of that game. It's great and so is its sound track. Easily one of my favs.

So late to replying! Such a great game. Glad I finally picked it up a few months ago for the Retron 5!!

Super fun game and even better with two players and even better yet is that you have unlimited continues when you play with two players - woot!

Awesome find Cary!!

Question.

Platinum Intel Ops set or leader Blaster?

News Credits: 131 · Sat Oct 01, 2016 8:28 pm

That's a G1 v TR question right. There's a thread for that isn't there

My vote is for TR. More play value ;)^

Edit: let me amend that statement. Will said that Perceptor comes with some really neat slides.

As I've never had Blaster OR Perceptor, that Platinum set for $15 more than leader Blaster is reaaaaaaaaally tempting..

There may be a thread, but I don't need that many opinions ;)^

Cannot compute.

G1 Cassettes and Players are in a league of their own. I wouldn't compare them to anything but each other.

TR Blaster is outstanding however.

It mainly depends on where your priorities currently lie. Are you trying to build a G1 collection? And how much is the Intel Ops set you're looking at? If it's decent, Id go with it. TR Blaster will be around a little while.

Well, I'm currently mixing my display. Taking figures I have from G1 representing characters they haven't made to my liking in other forms. Trying to keep MP/G1/Generations. It's a struggle.

$59 for the Intel Ops, $45 for leader Blaster.

Do you have a G1 Perceptor?
