i know ive asked this before:o
when are the allaince comics coming out?
they are already out in the USA!
They should be out this weekend if shipping to Australia is good but I'm not sure b/c of the time of year. Otherwise, it'll be Monday at your local comicbook shop. We tend to be a day or so behind US releases but on the odd occassion we do beat them when it gets here on the Wednesday evening.
The first Alliance comic book was in Melbourne comic book shops last Thursday.Quote:

I suspect that may be the reason but I'm not 100% certain though it most likely is the explanation.Quote:

I work near Hasbro. So LMK if you'd like me to drive by and leave aflaming paper bag of dog poobouquet of flowers for them. :D :)
I'd be too scared to say if I worked for Hasbro, raging fan boys are a worse prospect than death

Is it normal for TFA Soundwave to have the legs pop off?
I was helping my nephew fix it after the legs popped off.
Seems as they come off fairly often.
Oh right, blame it on the nephew. :pQuote:

Whatever. :pQuote:

its not like Acidstorm is like Scourge or the insecticons where he/they are a clone army
just curious
whoever it is, do they use them to repaint into other custom figures?
Not sure where this belongs. Sorry if this shouldnt be posted here :o
Are Binaltech BT-05 Dead End Viper's rare or worth keeping in MISB condition? I bought it from Japan and am not particularly fussed about playing with it, but if its not really gonna be worth much in the future then I might as well take it out.
Edit: Oh and I saw this on EBAY which is the other reason I ask.
STL snafled them all up, took me weeks to get one, bastard :PQuote:

on other filum soundtracks i have, its the whole film minus dialogue
Yo, you talking to me, punk? :pQuote:

I'm on my way to having the number I'm aiming for but yes, my fascination with the mold comes not from how much I like the toy but a fiction related obsession.
I intend to use Starscreams as custom fodder for the remaining Seekers I'm still missing b/c I believe they're much easier to work with than the Acid Storms which require a lot more work to get them painted. That was what tipped me originally to go down the path of the Acid Storms.
Probably cos u weren't looking hard enough, Mary. And quit ur whining, I know its an incessant girls do but try and restrain urself once in a while.Quote:

I think someone mentioned chromedome as a popular char in JP, and after watching headmasters, Im not suprised.
Who else (characters) is popular over in JP that isn't really cared for, well known or not known at all to the Western TF fans? Leave out the obvious ones and I guess at least 15 will do, if im not asking too much ;) (doesn't have to be g1)
Im guessing Ginrai is one of them......

+ Chromedome.
+ Holy - way more popular than Stakeout.
..and that's pretty much it without including Japanese-exclusive characters, who would obviously be more popular since they were never released in Anglophone markets.
Dai Atlas is a notorious character though - kinda like Wheelie amongst Anglophone fans, Dai Atlas is a character who is widely disliked by Japanese fans. I'm sure I've explained the reasons why before, but for anyone who doesn't know why, it's because a lot of Japanese fans strongly resent Dai Atlas' moral universe which is very different from that of Optimus Prime and other Autobot commanders.
Autobot leaders tend to follow the example of Optimus Prime in being very compassionate and merciful. Dai Atlas on the other hand is utterly ruthless against Decepticons - he takes no prisoners and will gladly slay his enemies. He's a very controversial character amongst Japanese Transfans... that and Akira whom JP fans love to debate over whether s/he is a boy or a girl (it's like FIRRIB/RIRFIB in terms of being one of those stupid neverending fan debates :p).

Hey guys - not sure if this has been mentioned before so I'll just throw it out there; anyone visited the home of dodgy g1 knockoffs yet?
(yahobby link was here)
Aside from the dinobots, minibots etc I'd never seen or heard of a KO g1 scourge, prowl or wheeljack until I checked yahobby. My G1 collecting days are long gone, but man these guys are making it a whole lot harder for transfans.

I'd just telecommute to HQ and pretend I was an independent contractor perpetually between gigs, or something.
That's the first one. The new one looks like this:Quote:

Yes, part of the Rescue Force released in Europe/Australia. This particular Autobot has no individual name.Quote:
