For some reason, I have no qualms with the vehicle mode. Whats odd though, that the vehicle mode has a backpack. I don't think it does a good job of being a turret, or whatever it's trying to pull off. That aside, I'm strangely ok with him being a backwards Hotspot. It looks better in hand for sure. His bot mode is pretty good, but for some reason didn't make me squeal like I did for Hotspot. One thing I realized though is that he is extremely faithful to the OG toy Onslaught, which is cool but makes me sad that CW Hotspot didn't sport a black head like his OG toy self.william-james88 wrote:Onslaught's vehicle mode is really not happening. Robot mode and torso mode is fine though. I especially like how the combiner chest tabs into the transformed arms, its very secure. And that Bruticus headsculpt is the best we have gotten so far for the character, I think.
SO lazy, but I still like Jet-off. Looking forward to receiving my Renderform head though.william-james88 wrote:Blastoff is a straight up redeco but its a mighty fine one. I will always find it lazy in a way but nothing is lazy about the colours chosen or paint apps. He looks really good in robot mode, better than UW Blastoff.
That's a shame. I'm looking forward to experiencing it first hand though.william-james88 wrote:I can confirm that Brawl's pelvic area is an issue. Not so much in robot mode but in arm mode it just cant support any strain while posing. And the short forearms arent great. Beautiful tank though and a great leg.
And this might be my oddest view towards either Bruticus: I don't LOVE Swindle. Something about him... I dunno. Overly sculped or something.william-james88 wrote:Swindle is good all around. Phenominal sculpting. I love the pouches at the sides of the dune buggy/jeep. And I just adore how he has a dedicated transformation for arm mode. Its a gorgeous arm!
Again, the OG toy love (yellow arm missiles) really sets him apart and I I really appreciate that.william-james88 wrote:Vortex is fine. The headsculpt is great and while the yellow bugs me, the teal doesnt. I love the front of the helicopter, really nice paint detail there.
They still irritate me in torso and bot mode, but they're almost invisible in alt mode.william-james88 wrote:The emergency lights from the hotspot mode dont really bother me as much as I would have thought. Especially since they are at the back for vehicle mode and are inconspicuous in torso mode.
I think I've seen Galvy in the Jungle (or it was Grand Convoy?) and the price was pretty relative to the likes of BBTS. Thank Primus that Computron isn't a TTM exclusive eh?william-james88 wrote:Getting UW Computron (already ordered) and I am keeping an eye out for UW Grand Galvatron at the jungle. Nothing I want locally.

So Grandvatron was TTM exclusive but not limited? Okay, that's awesome! I'll be watching Mandrake and the Jungle then too! Those other tidbits are interesting too, I wasn't aware. You're quite the guruwilliam-james88 wrote:Grand Galvatron was not limited.

itscramtastic wrote:So you're saying if I change my mind in a few months, there's a chance I could still get him. Woo! Needs a price drop though.. for me at least..
NOOOOOOO!!william-james88 wrote:Sorry Cram, its not related. Shajaki and are talking about the Japan release which isnt being sold anymore. Wherever you might see it right now, its the asian release which was never limited to begin with. Its wasnt priced higher because its limited, its priced higher because the cheaper Japan release is not available for anyone outside Japan to buy. Look at any MP release and you will see that there is one with coin and without coin and the one with coin is more expensive. Well this is just that this time, there was no cheaper option, so you were stuck paying for the more expensive release. So if Defensor at BBTS didnt get a price drop, then this one wont either.itscramtastic wrote:So you're saying if I change my mind in a few months, there's a chance I could still get him. Woo! Needs a price drop though.. for me at least..
The only way you might get him cheaper is if you decide to order a used one (aka opened box) from a reseller in Japan, which is what I plan on doing.

I'll never do it though![]()

Oh I know, I knw that as I wrote that line down. For me in Canada, thats the only option sometimes unless i want to get pummelled by the tax man. The US has dedicated importers and you dont have to worry about tax, so I always recomend people who want UW to go with a US seller. The second hand Japan stores do help a bit though. That Megatron I had told you about finally came in (he's posted above somehwere) and was 75$ shipped, that a better deal than anything else I could find.
And yeah, that deal with the coin is interesting. Its all business though, when there's an easy way to get the one without the coin, the asia release wants to remain competitively priced, so the difference in price is basically the coin. But when there is no cheaper non coin option available, then they can ask for a higher price. Like those MP Seekers. How is it that they are pricier than Starscream and they dont even come with coronation gear? Its just because there is no cheaper non coin version available for international consumers (like Americans) to purchase. So they up the price. But those were famous seekers and they sold out, would it be the same for Ramjet? Maybe not, so they made him 20$ cheaper. Thats the sad thing about Hasbro Asia, the prices are not based on cost (clearly, how can totally new tooling cost less than a redeco?), but they are based on the market instead, they are based on what people will buy them for. Which blows hard.

I am starting to re-think my spending, maybe due to all of the MPs I've recently picked up and the cost incurred. Boo money.

Oh and speaking of coming to Canada, Cobotron, guess what I found another one of those exclusive beast wars japan space boats. You want me to kick it down river for you? Or do I wait till you come to pay a visit?
Also Cobo, look what I found for 3$ today:

those are go bots populating that Andro Base. Which leaves me all...
I had a Gobot base that turned into kind of an At-At type vehicle. It's head was shaped much like that thing's.
No need to sail that thing down the Mighty Miss. I have no Idea where I would put it.
As far as Sentinal. At least the one I got you is complete. Did you get the 3 dollar one?

Oh no thanks, I was just goofing and you could float that thing down a river.william-james88 wrote:carytheone wrote:PS, I'm pretty close to the mouth of the miss river, hint hint
Cary, if you want it, it's yours. You just have to pay the shipping along with the 2.55$ cdn it cost.
