Custom Metroplex

Holy Sh*t

Thanks for all the links!

One of the 'formers in the list ā€œMeanstreakā€ is actually an Autobot :confused:
but hey that’s Wikipedia for ya

ā€œIt’s like shooting cyberducks in a barrel!ā€ :wgrin:

So I checked my local Walmart for the first time since Black Friday and saw the Cybertron 2-packs as advertised. It was slim. All they really had was the Excellion/Thundercracker and Downshift/Cannonball (?). It’s cool though. I’m getting Excellion in the mail and he’s really the only Deluxe fig I care about at the moment.

Well, I got Anniversary Prime. It was the DVD version. The smokestacks are small and the blue gun kind of sucks, but eh. Everything else is great, so I can’t complain. Seriously, I phoned around and couldn’t even find any MP’s, much less Prime, so I figured I shouldn’t let this slip through my fingertips. I’m happy with it.

If you’re able to ā€œphone aroundā€ and get MP anything, I’m very impressed. There’s about one store in all of Seattle ( Kicks Hobby) that I would expect to have anything ($110 for MP Skywarp, $150 for MP Megatron). http://phatcollectibles.net (in Anaheim) should be able to hook you up very reasonably if they have stuff in stock, but they’re pretty much phone orders only. Still they had non-ā€˜tipped’ MP Megatron’s for $125, which was pretty darned good.

^ ^ ^
Kicks Hobby was the first place I checked after reading Az’s post. They used to have MP4 for $200, but they don’t have him anymore.

Recently I’ve been on a Comic ā€˜data collection’ and have recently been interested in reading the TF comics, so if anyone knows where to find the comics in a batch can someone PM me with it plz?
…and thanks for the links cheese they got some cool shit :tup:
BTW anyone remotely interested in watching TF Animated?

I’d like War Within Vol. 1 (TPB)

As for TFA, I’m looking forward to the toys. The series looks decent. I’ll check it out.

I saw your post of Youtube comments.

It’s funny, Shin-Mech-Brian hates the show and toyline with a passion but he’s at least going about it in a smart and civil way. Those Youtubers are just…retarded.

Anyway, figured I’d post my want list from TFW2005:

Figures**
[LIST]
[]MP Megatron
[
]Sam’s Club Exclusive Fire Convoy (yellow version)
[]G1 Grimlock (doesn’t have to be MISB but should be complete and in excellent condition)
[
]G1 Sixshot (ditto)[/LIST]*Comics
[LIST]
[
]War Within Vol. 1 (TPB)[/LIST]Will trade or buy. Can anyone help me out? I’ve given eBay a break.

Jesus, it doesn’t transform but imagine if it did. Oh the bashing potential… http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/TFW2005PICTURES/100_2098.jpg

You know who is willing to part with this toy?

Nobody, that’s who.

I remember when pics first hit on this figure, the response was horrendously negative. (I bought one :lovin: )

Now, you just can’t find him at a reasonable price. I saw one at BotCon sell for $80 and it was missing parts.

Good luck finding one though!

I almost had one at a decent price on eBay. Then I changed my mind. This was back in September.

Thanks I’ll give it a read ASAP. …and I hope you’ll enjoy the TFA show mate :wink:

Thanks, but my problem is that I’m in Japan, and these stores aren’t really accessible to me.

You’d figure that being in Japan, the place where the damn toys are made, finding them would be easier. Not really. I had a hobby shop that was pretty good, but these days they’ve been stocking less and less TF stuff. Dedicated toy shops are kind of rare, and the ones that do exist primarily focus on movie toys. Most of the time, if you go to a hobby/figure shop, you end up getting a shitload of Gundam/otaku stuff, but no TF’s.

For me at least, I have to snatch up the MP’s as soon as they come out, because if the well dries, it will be difficult/impossible to find them again.

A Great interview with Frank Welker has just been posted up

I have a custom painted Deluxe Movie Brawl for sale. PM if interested.

Prowl has been confirmed to be included as part of the Classics 2.0 line!

Zor’s link of Megs didn’t work for me, so I’ll attach this pic…
I like his new look.
