Wud you git? Post it here! - Page 35 (2024)

Tonight, I splurged and spent $19.99 (free shipping) on these:

Tamashii Stage Act 5 Mechanics Clear Robot Spirits Bandai Base Model Kit Stand.....*inhales and catches breath*

Comes (x3) to a package and are what you see in all these awesome reviews where the figures appear to be suspended in mid-air!

I've spent $20 on worse sh*t and these will definitely come in handy!

You have two choices:
1: Wait for another chance
2: Get him off the Net

Kotobukiya Mechanical Chain Bases.....or Machine Nests: #1-#6 (x2), so 12 sets total. Once assembled (and with paint apps similar to the bottom picture) it will look like this and be a perfect base for either my CHUG/3rd party Autobots or Decepticons. It will also be a nice backdrop to take pictures when I get new Transformers in...
Shipping from China so it'll be 2-3 weeks before it arrives, but will update with plenty of pics once it does. In the meantime, I'll be shopping for some hazard stripe decals to apply within the base. I already have an airbrush gun and some yellow paint...can't wait!

Tyjos....(also from Galvatrons Lair), has a lot in his collection I'm jealous of! Great to see him over here as well.

Arms Micron AM-22 Dreadwing
Beast Hunters Shockwave

I got today, the Dr Wu Skybreaker swords, blue and silver:

Their pretty sweet in my view, all I got to do is think of away to incorporate them into my photo comics!

It did happen and I had some fellow evil forces arrive today:

To go with those six, is FP Crossfire 2 upgrade kit for Bruticus, the first of the FP Stunticons Car Crash, plus a bonus of their Quake

In regards to Car Crash, I'm not exactly impressed with him because he is a pain to transform and feels like he more complex than he needs to be, because trying to get him into vehicle mode is a right pain especially on his arms, it took me ages to get him into Vehicle mode, honestly the previous robots of FP from their Crossfire 2 kit, they are superior in my view! With the CF2 kit robots, the transformation is rather simple and everything works quite well, where's Car Crash, its a lot harder than he needed to be! Of course, the CF2 kit not without its flaws, the primarily flaw has to be the guns that go onto Bruticus's back, where they are meant to connect, its a bloody pain to get them to stay in place, so if you see a comic with him in and no guns on the back, you'll know why!

As for the Not Constructicons, their nice but again there is flaws, its a pain to get them to combine into the giant form and I see why Hasbro on their most resent combiner, went with the square joints that it uses, simply because they are easier to lock in place! Four of these robots can do a partial scramble city, the legs can switch sides, same goes for the arms but so far I haven't tried to create alternative limb modes! I have decided I'll get the rage set some point soon, for what I hope is improved connections for the arms!

That's one hell of an epic haul!

And yeah, I agree...while I love the ingenius transformation of both Car Crash and T-Bone they are a bit fiddly.

I can't say about T-bone yet because he waiting for Ratbat to come to Kapow warehouse and then ship out with him, maybe next month I'll preorder the next two in the series!

Edit:
having just converted Car Crash back to robot mode, he not bad but as I said, I think he overly complex for his own good, maybe I'll review him later on when I'm in the right frame of mind to do so!

Behold the might of...FRUITICUS! And Trailcutter, though it's really Trailbreaker.

Had a couple of Autobots arrive yesterday. Mech Ideas Demolition Crew: Apex and Geminus! For now an "in package" shot, but once the second half of my Mechanical Chain Base order comes in later this week.....Chinese seller sent it in 2 shipments since the order was so large, I'll do a proper review utilizing my Act 5 display stands as well.

But for now, check out Peaughs review:

mmm, interesting, I might look into getting those guys, I had G1 Twintwist when I was a kid!

The other day, I had arrive, a replacement FOC Blaster, the other one I had, had a head transplant to the TFU toy body, also his gun went across as well!

SuperOmegaPrime wrote:mmm, interesting, I might look into getting those guys, I had G1 Twintwist when I was a kid!

I've got the G1 versions myself and there's really no comparison. For $68 for the set of 2, you can't go wrong. Practically unheard of for 3rd party deluxes at that price ($34 each)! Poseability is freaking unbelievable as they're absolutely loaded with points of articulation! Best to go ahead and pull the trigger now before they sell out as the aftermarket on these guys won't be kind to your pocketbook!

Some goodies, with some assembly required.

Beast Wars Transmetal Airazor
Prime Deluxe Knock Out
Prime Deluxe Hot Shot
Prime Deluxe Vehicon
Arms Micron AMW-07 Pral (based on Prowl)
Arms Micron AMW-08 Sais (based on Seaspray)
Arms Micron AMW-09 Jayz (based on Jazz)
Dr. Wu Double Battle Blades

Pral, Sais, and Jayz are my first experience with Autobot-aligned Microns. They make the Cosmotector, which Armada fans would know better as the Skyboom Shield. The Battle Blades look nice with Optimus. Hot Shot has all the same problems as Bumblebee from the same line, except has a cool new head sculpt and there weren't as many of him. Vehicon is...well, Vehicon. The awesomeness of the mold speaks for itself! Knock Out is great...provided you transform him properly. (the instructions are terrible at doing this. Spoiler alert) And as for Airazor...she brings back happy memories, even if she's not the best Beast Wars toy out there.

Nice haul, bud! Wish I'd had known you were looking for Hot Shot, Knock Out and Vehicon...been trying to make a sale on mine for a good minute. If you're after any more Vehicons, though, lmk..
