Poor Tracks

And I'm not sure what's wrong with Grimlock, other than being from that we-don't-know-what-we're-doing era of MPs before MP-10 and hence turning out a little out of scale and unconventional. Which isn't bad, just means he doesn't go well with the other MPs and just turns out to be badass on his own.

Mp Starscream is coming today and MP Sideswipe was just ordered. MP Thundercracker is either tomorrow or Thursday.

the mp master

Yeah I've been going all out with the MP's lately. So far I haven't disliked any of them, and there is so much to appreciate about each and every character.

Is MP Star Saber on your radar? I just finished watching Victory and I kinda want it.

just dont get rodimus,megatron,tracks and grimlock

I disagree on Grimlock. It is a phenomenal TF toy and probably the most faithful of all MP toys. Every toy has to have some sort of sacrifice and end up not looking show accurate due to the realistic alt mode, but grimlock doesnt have a reaslistic alt mode, so he is the only toy with no sacrifices. The only issue with him is that he is not as big as one would like, but that doesnt stop him form being one of the best MPs out there.

Also, I think that when Bumblebee 21 said Rodimus, he meant MP 09, which isnt a great toy. Hot Rodimus however, MP 28, is as good as any other.

[Bumblebee21]

tracks is okay.

grimlock is way out of scale.
hes a bit underarticulated





EDIT: i meant mp-09. mp-28 is great. grimlock is great for classics. i like him like all of my mps.
i want to get os ko version

Umm... I just thought of a place he could be and look phenomenal, stay tuned!

I love MP Grimlock. I would him more if he scaled correctly, but I'm not that picky with that sort of stuff.

[Cobotron]

I don't mind Grimlock's scale with the new standard scale. He looks fine on the shelf.
I also think the Traxx mold is just fine. I do like Roadrage and Loud Pedal better than Traxx, but that's just me.

[joeprime276]

Personally I really like MP Grimlock. I have no problems with his scale, but I do understand he should be much larger.

Just got to open up and play around with MP Starscream. He is beautiful

I agree, he's gorgeous. Even nicer than Takara with the nice silver around the logos, lighter face and gorgeous dark blue tail fins. Every colour just seems to pop more. it was my faovurite MP of the year.

The last page or so was virtually just casual discussion for stuff that have their own threads. Just saying.

[shajaki]

BAM. Haul.

You'll be busting those G2's loose or preserving them in prison?

You'll be busting those G2's loose or preserving them in prison?

Indeed.

For me, the only reason to keep that Bruticus on card is if the G1 original or RID Ruination is already open and on display. Hanging the cards over a bruticus display (featuring the G1, FOC, CW, ect) could be cool.

Dammit Kan, I need people pushing me rip them open. And OF ALL PEOPLE, YOU are telling me to leave them sealed?

I bet if you opened him up it'd look amazing next to your CW or UW Bruticus. Id do it

Well, they are on cards.

Kinda my weakness...






And the TCs. The only one I make an exception by also having some boxed.



My rule is one for a line, if I have a double or it's repaint, and (mostly) bought on sale.
Cards do look cool and hang well on a wall.

[shajaki]

Ha! True enough. I do like the idea of posing the CW G2icus with the carded originals

Got a LOUD haul today

Open them, toys are to be played with and posed and showed off to the rest of us not having them scrubs.

Don't do it for just me do it for the community

Besides, toys in boxes/on cards just seem sad. Forever alone with on one to handle them

Is that good enough convincing?

Congrats on them finds btw

[Bumblebee21]

Yes open them. Toys are meant to be played with not meant to keep in the box. Hence the name toy not nic nac. I don't know who came up with that idea. There is a even a grading scale for them. if you buy a $200 toy are you gonna open it or keep it in the box and let it die and be lonely.just my input.

In terms of a haul I got TR Frenzy.
yell at me now Burn.

[Dagon]

This thread has been casual conversation for like a year now....and since it's always the same few people, it probably chases other posters away. I'm sure people will just tell me that I'm wrong, so let me prepare for that.

My Blu Ray copy of the 86 movie arrived yesterday, and I got TR Chromedome today.

[shajaki]

Why the sad?

Oops. It was supposed to be the yelly emote.
