Can someone point me to the review thread for Voyager Brainstorm? I'm sure there must be one but for the life of me I can't see it...
(Unless of course there isn't one, in which case I might start one...)
Looking through a search with 'Generations Brainstorm,' I got no review thread. I'd start your own.Quote:

Yeah, that's why I asked. I was kinda faced with the choice of creating a duplicate thread and looking a bit stupid or asking "where's the thread?" and looking a bit stupid. I chose the latter type of stupid.;):pQuote:

It's my favourite grimlock
How do the human alliance toys look beside Binaltech/Alternators? Do the figures fit in them? Do the cars scale well together?
I don't want any, I'm just curious if anyone has some pics :)
Does anyone have a really high-res scan or image of RID 16? I'm thinking of getting it printed on a poster.
as far as i know/heard, the humans figures can fit bothQuote:

It's a Hasbro HK release not Takara so it doesn't have a specific date.Quote:

Why does JP packaging tend to be monchrome colours? Is it for cost efficiency? Or is there some other explanation?
:confused: The only monochrome Japanese packaging I have are for some limited exclusive items. I imagine it would be for cost efficiency, since those toys are produced in more limited numbers, reducing the cost of packaging would help to keep the price down (re: economies of scale).Quote:

Basically it's the first run of eHobby Sunstorm in European packaging. If they weren't 'lunchtime specials' snuck out of a factory, they were either accidents or mockups for the market. There aren't too many in existence, but likewise there's not much demand for them - it's a nice quaint display piece to have. Linthart has one - he'd know as much as anyone:Quote:

And knowing is half the battle! ;)
So knowledgeable as always good sir. That pic was the origin for my question. ;)
Another question :o: What's that boxed clear Starscream on the top right hand corner of the same pic? (above boxed Soundwave & Starscream).

Thats a relief. I thought I went over with the falling Aussie dollar. I better ship soon.Quote:

Hot damn, that is beautiful. Lets hope they make some more like it :D Let me know if you find anything of the likes.Quote:

Positive I saw it in Big W a few days ago. They had _a_ Prowl in AOE packaging. Are there any others I could be mistaking it for?Quote:

Pretty sure they are like 19 bucks or so at Big W man
Yeah, that's what they usually go for. Says a lot for how much stuff gets marked up here that even including postage you can get'em half that price from the States online :rolleyes:Quote:
