Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:46 pmSo I think I pre-ordered within a few minutes of it going up on BBTS. I hope I am a part of the 1st wave of shipment.
Apparently there is 2 waves. One now and the other in late August.
Hopefully BBTS gets some of that first wave.

Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:55 pmDammit, I thought this was going to be something new from Maketoys. Not really interested in this version. It's basically a watered down Hercules. But I would like to buy a yellow version for my G2 shelf. I hope this green one brings down the price of the yellow one on e-bay.

wha?
we've know for 6 months it was just a green repaint of the yellow version?
It's not a watered down Hercules, it's a Green Giant.

Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 4:21 pmWhy did they give him a derpy, elderly, robotic, vampire head? Let's just call him Count Derpula...
Re: Maketoys Type 61
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 7:02 pmI really like the new head. I'm really excited for the set.

looks like he still comes with a normal head, so you're all good. Also: Fanbloodytastic! If I can still order one when I get paid, that's it, I'm doing it!
Re: Maketoys Type 61
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 7:34 pmLove how this set is packaged; just snap them together and you're done. The alternate head is growing on me too. At least it's original.

I agree. I can't wait for this set to be released.
Re: Maketoys Type 61
Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2012 9:04 pmI don't liek the new head at all, but they packaged the old one in there so all is forgiven. And it's bald too, just as I like my Devestator. He must have a devestating forehead!
But here's a serious question: why type 61? I could get "type 2" or "type green", but why 61?

I'd have never gotten that on my own. Thanks.

Say what you must, but in my eyes this is -the- classics 'Not-'Devastator and it fits my needs far better then the TFC version.

I can hear the conversation now...
(I answer the door to the postman and he chucks a huge box at me)
"How much was that"
"Erm... I got a good deal"
She still thinks I got City Commander for £20

Oh man, i have that exact conversation with my girlfriend too.
Re: Maketoys Type 61
Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2012 8:16 amWhen I got into my current relationship, I clearly stated that I do what I want. Of course, I'm not doing shady stuff either. Nearly four years later and we're as good as ever. I just tell her when I buy expensive things. If I feel like it.

I agree that is very important. I have an understanding wife, thankfully. Not like this poor sap. What a cow.
