:(

sorta wanted that one.... and since the dollar is down the toilet i dont think ill be getting it any time soon

is it just mine or are most Yellah G1 constructicons extremely fragile?

My 2 hooks are really damaged in the arms sections

Mixmaster is made of glass

Longhauls arms looks as though they will snap if i play with it or transform it

Scavenger and Bonecrusher seem ok, SCrapper i dont have.


In Universe 2 universe is there any fiction that explains why Octane changed his name to Tankor?

ta

Does anyone have God Neptune? How rare and expensive is it? I like the colour scheme a lot better than the other versions.

He is quite uncommon. The price for the giftset is usually between $100-$130 w/out shipping (I was lucky that I only paid $110 shipped). You should know that he is missing some components from the other versions and one of the seacons (nautilator, who is the worst anyway), but im sure you did your research. Regardless, he is still alot nicer, even if he is missing accessories. If you can't live without the small guns, stands, etc there are plenty of those parts on ebay which are cheap and are easy too customize to match the set :)

I have both God Neptune & Piranacon.

I find God Neptune's colours are really geared towards the combined form - the individuals don't always look so good, especially in their robot modes. He does look great combined. On balance, I prefer the original Piranacon because of the robot modes, but it's a close thing - and either beat out the recent effort that looks like it has been attacked by a three year olf with crayons.

I don't think it's just yours, but I don't have any so can't confirm.

Indeed! Yes, when it comes to God Neptune I tend to be sexist towards Scylla, because nobody would guess she's a female unless you told them, imo. And the lipstick on the beastmode isn't clear to me either (not even sure if it is supposed to be?). Im guessing the show explains it all.....

Hey guys I'm no expert on jap figs so I was wondering if anyone can tell me what version of magnus this is:

I was thinking it's the 15th anniversary edition or something..
