Funnily enough i was watching an episode of Transformers Prime last night...with him in it, btw does it have a hose that connects to the cannon?

Yup, I just hadn't connected it in that pic. Check the awesome poses thread, I put more pics there.

Made a trade with a friend at school (haven't done that since elementary school ), and will be doing another one tomorrow. But for now, here's my new plastic friend. His name is Steve Gary.

FE?

...huh?

First Edition?

[Sigma Magnus]

First Edition?

Oh, no. RiD. The better one.

[william-james88]

So, got some fun stuff. Can anyone make out what this most recent thrift shop find is?



Turns out he is in horrid condition with many bits missing. But my ROTF Jetfire has a piece broken so this one will be used to replace that part.

Also, got this:



Minicons from 2 different eras

When you are done taking what you need, you can leave me the leftovers. Pretty please? Because this may be just what I need to continue that project I've been shelving for months.

I was gonna sell him on Kijiji for 5-10$ (so at cost), I just need the pieces that connect to ROTF Optimus. If you have any toy to trade for this and menasor let me know in a PM.

Nah....prefer the first edition....it has more complex mechanics

Maybe so, but...doesn't it look worse...?

Through the years I have been collecting i realized that it is just as hard if not harder to engineer a simpler transformation which achieves the same result. There is a lot of beauty in simplicity. Takara was immensely proud of what they did with RID Bumblebee for instance.

And combiner wars is a pefect example to show that compleity in transformation doesnt make a better toy, when compared to the combiner offerings we had before the line came about.

Backpackier, for sure.

[Sigma Magnus]

Colors are somewhat more accurate (if I remember correctly), but otherwise...

Anyway....who knows....maybe one day we'll get Masterpiece version

Y'know...honestly, I hope that some day in the future, after we have Masterpieces of most of G1 and a good chunk of Beast Wars, that the line moves on to the rest of the TF mythos. RiD, other RiD, the Unicron Trilogy, Prime, Animated, all that stuff.

I'm sure it will. One day the kids of the unicorn trilogy will be adults with disposable income, just like the G1 generation does now.


All things in time.

[william-james88]

All things in time.

Agreed, and one day the kiss player girls will get the Figuarts treatment.

[Dagon]

My Unite Warriors Megatronia arrived on Wednesday. So much better looking than that terrible Victorion.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

I'll be short but sweet:

Titans Return Brainstorm
Robots in Disguise Warrior Class Blastwave

Cool figures, tho avid fans will want to wait for Bludgeon. I didn't, only because I have a thing for opposite faction redecos.

Not in a million years, Takara Tomy doesn't get along with Bandai.
figma on the other hand could be a thing since they do get along with Good Smile Company.
Little Armory figma project
Other figma projects
Nendoroid projects

(And yes, I know you aren't being serious. )
