these 3 x 2 cabinets are quite small. i'm using a similar one from jusco. 3 leader figures would fill one section like sardines already. plus, a galaxy convoy won't be able to spread his wing to full wing span.

that's pretty cheap. i'd buy it if i were you. or you can buy the thing and sell the wing sabre to me

ths-01 is the small version of gc-01. "ths" are designation for hybrid style transformers, they are small. i can't make a size comparison off the top of my head though.

price wise, gc-01 misb could fetch more than rm400 these days. ths-01, not too sure.

alt/BT wise, the impreza is not really a good alternator mold. try to get the rx-8 and mustang mold, those two are really good mold with superb articulations. viper? looks good in car mod, but kinda tubby in robot mode. corvette is better.

and yeah, alt/BT/alternity are the real life transformers .

wow, suddenly rid OP becomes popular nowadays. i still can't decide whether i want to to get RID UM or not. omega prime is cool, but UM itself is just crap.

unfortunately, in my view, alt OP is probably the worse alternator. alternators doesn't have an anime or the likes, so there's no "most popular". most people just buy whichever mold they like.

or "fire convoy" by his japanese name. i won't say he's the most handsome, but he definitely have some unique value that i cant explain.

well smokescreen is the 1st BT/alternator mold. that's why he's pretty expensive. if you can tolerate chicken leg robot, he's pretty cool. note that there are several version of smokescreen though. perhaps sunnyboy can show you the differences.

yup, that's true. he's main attraction is probably the decals.

my best is the mustangs. rx-8 wins in the sturdiness category(in both modes), but in terms of articulation, poss-ability and general bad-@ssness, mustangs win.

nope, BT/alt does not have nissan license.

yes, most of us here know there will be 3 installments of transformers movie from michael bay since TFTM.

i suspect tf3 will have some upgraded mold for most bots. so there may be new megs and OP for tf3. better get the rotf version now cause they may not be around in tf3.

just a word of advice, try to keep those toys away from direct sunlight. they'll get yellow-ish pretty quick if you keep 'em like that.

hey slyph, changed your nick?

i see you've finished the starwolf on your blog. that's the one i sold you, right? good to see it back in its glory.

this is why the 2nd step after transforming the toys for the 1st time, is taking out the batteries.

since we're in armada topic, i've been wondering for some time, what's the japanese name for armada OP anyway? (i've only watched the english version). we got:

G1 OP: convoy
RID OP: fire convoy
ARMADA OP: ?
Superlink OP: grand convoy
galaxy force OP: galaxy convoy

guys, let's keep the spam to a minimum, ok? we don't want the post-TFTM incident to repeat itself.

i was just thinking, "smells like springer", when i looked at the pictures. universe/classic line?

hmmm....was wondering how cool is the justitoy mp01 trailer compared to the mp04 trailer? which one has the better quality? i know the justitoy has better playability.

ops....i got it the other way around. just viewed the pics. so what's the advantage of the justitoy trailer over mp04? (kinda gatal want to buy a trailer for my mp01, though i don't really have the space )

well, most collector communities addresses the item condition at the time of selling, not storage. so an item can be MIB and brand new aka MISB. an item can also be just MIB, because it is being sold complete with the box and in mint condition aka display item/well preserve.

the BIB term don't really exist internationally.

try using sandpapaer with water. depending on the scratch depth, start with a 1000+ grid and make your way to 2000 grid with water. if the scratch is not too deep, this method should work without damaging the paint.

thats' the DVD version, not MP01, rm420 is overpriced ( it goes that high nowadays? ).

identical quality? i'm not too sure about that. identical mold yes, but quality, no.
the DVD paint job got smearing all over, especially on those lights above the cab. originally i wanted to get the DVD version too (at retail-because i like the base), but after comparing it with an MP01, i changed my mind. the thing was, my mp01(new) was only rm30 more than the DVD version(at the shop i buying).

up to this day i believe the dvd version shouldn't have rm260 retail price let alone rm400+ goreng prince.

unless of course, this new mp04 also got smearing all over.
