    so my Universe deluxe Acid Storm disintegrated a little bit too, one of the tails fins next to the foot, I wonder if it was stressed already when I bought it from some dude and didn't notice

    also, I never want to transform RtS Perceptor again

    moving is fun

    I wonder if my wife would buy the idea that getting me a Hexatron is actually an economical idea since he turns into six different things.

    Following this logic, Lego is pretty much infinitely-economical, isn't it? And the more you buy, the more economical it becomes!

  • 143999143999 Tellin' ya not askin' ya, not pleadin' with yaRegistered User regular
    Calculating Lego economics the same way runs into issues when you add time as a component. The relatively constraint-free nature means you have to start getting into commodities trading and resource planning and all sorts of time-sucking logistical nightmares, and let's face it, I'd just be making more robots anyway.

    I'm still waiting for the other two. Or at least Shadowmaru. It looks good but I don't need to spend that much right now.

    Maybe if Captured Prey still had any in stock, because then I could order it and the next Kabaya set and get free shipping, but they don't, so eh.

  • 143999143999 Tellin' ya not askin' ya, not pleadin' with yaRegistered User regular
    Maybe if something else dropped between now and when TFSource gets him, I'll be safe, but as it stands, that plus My First Blaster gets me free shipping.

    And, I mean, at that point it's dumber not to get him, right?

    black Hexatron looks so bland to me, I just don't see the appeal

    also MP Magnus is losing its appeal as well, if only it was the lighter blue

    Oh, and they might show the Star Saber prototype tomorrow which is something I am ridiculously excited about.

    See, I'm almost exactly the opposite. I looked at Shadow Emissary and then looked back at vanilla Hexatron, and the multicolored version just looks wrong to me in the non-robot modes. I guess I'm lucky enough to not have any particular attachment to Sixshot's standard issue palette.

    oh well yeah I used to play with Sixshot all the time as a child, so the color scheme is part of the appeal

    I don't know, I wanted one with the original toy's lighter teal color instead of the royal blue they both seem to have

    also I want to see MP Magnus' transformation

    they're both disappointing to me, Stack looks more posable, but I dislike the head and the obvious cab that is his torso, and he just looks cheap to me

    the MP looks better overall to me, but his posability looks poor

    in other news, I stopped by TRU and snagged the voyager Hound, now I have all of the guns

    well BBTS now has Quantron listed at $399.99, but still shows it as "sold out"

    in other news, there's a couple pictures going around of MP Star Saber

    Yup, figured Quantron would be $400 bamboozles. Might as well go TFSource for this one. Too bad Captured Prey isn't getting it.

    So I kept getting sneak attacked by surprise pre-orders (pre-orders I'd made but forgotten about) and since sometime last year I've been keeping track of them with a list.

    Noticed that my list for August-September this year was getting crazy and did a few calculations.

    This includes video games as well, but still, holy shit

    My current preorders are amount to under $900, but since I've already paid off most of them (mostly comic book TPBs), I only need $563. I have other stuff I want to buy though, such as videogames, a couple more TPBs, anime, and Figmas (supposedly Lucina comes out this year, but no colour prototype yet, same with Chariot)

    Ugh, I need to get some sort of new shelving thing going on. I want to do some kind of floating L-shaped corner shelf thing to take advantage of the only good room I have in this room, but I can't find what I'm looking for, and God do I ever not want to try to make it myself.

    You know, I'm just going to preorder Takara Rattrap at HLJ. It's only ~$22, which is actually less than what the single Hasbro Rattrap was at BBTS, plus it's more cartoon accurate. If I see the Hasbro one here at any point I can just get that and cancel my preorder if I choose.

    The BB Senshi Neo Zeong is a pretty solid kit. Pity about the usual Sinanju stickers everywhere thing, but most of them are hidden in the Neo Zeong anyway.





    Funny how the cheap tiny SD version comes with two versions of the psychoshard while the $300 giant one only has the big one and even then it's sold separately.

    Oh and I don't usually do SD kits so I don't know if this is a standard thing for the line but holy shit the Sinanju's monoeye moves depending on where you point its head, that's awesome.

    Alright so there are some obvious flaws with MP Ultra Magnus, such as stubby biceps and no inner bot, but I'm willing to overlook these because he is huge and I've been waiting for an MP of UM in his armor for so long.

    MP Bumble Bee looks great also, but I'm still going to have hunt down the amazon battle mask because I've always hated the chubby face from the cartoon

    I'm still waffling over Magnus

    Bee maybe if he was like half the price, he's so small and hollow gap forearms is disappointing

    yeah, the current series Kamen Rider Gaim has the Riders get their abilities from "lockseeds" which are fruit devices they snap onto their belts, and then a giant fruit falls from the sky and attaches to their suits to form armor

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pedPRiq2fc&feature=youtu.be&t=12m38s
    skip to 12:38 for Melon Arms if the link doesn't work

    it's actually kind of a dark show in comparison to the others
