dear all sifus ...
if I've just enough money to reward myself either:-
Whirl
Roadbuster
Sky-Byte
which one is a better figure ?
*
Personally I like WHirl the best, but most of my friends say he doesn't look "transformers" enough haha because of his overall look .. claw hands, crow's legs.. but I like the alt mode and the character a lot..

Roadbuster is a mixed bag for me. I have the 3rd party version that I IMHO i feel is better, but it's quite a neat toy with many weapon cpnfiguration options.. The paint job's a bit vibrant for me though..

Sky Byte is.. so so.. I like him but he feels a bit "meh" for me compared to the other two.

Speaking of Combiner Wars, anyone preorder GCreation Shuraking? I m sceptic about the combined mode. From the pics i seen, the ankle joints are "vertical pegs" like Star(cat) Dino Combiners. This will create "Standing Issue" if the overall weight is too heavy. I hope GCreation have solved this problem

@snipersnake

  I do hope you have plans to keep your collection dust free. Leaving them out in the open, i look i "kesian la"
*
Both the dinobot combiners are a concern to me .. the Tw one look like it will just clip on to grimlock's legs... I think however TW is smaller so maybe it would support the weight if Grimlock has tight ratchets.. Shuraking looks big... too big for the type of pegs that it might come with.

whoa utopia thumbup.gif

let me know what you think of infinitor smile.gif
*
Infinitor isn't bad for what it is.. I don't have Fort Max, but as I understand it from a friend who does, it's really a downscaled version of him. I think it's overall a pretty simple bot (transformation wise), but articulation is nice. and with that I think you could make various other "fan" base modes..

He also makes a nice fortress as part of an autobot city i think haha..

yeah! the price in the website shows RMB1064+ so after conversion is RM600+. This summore haven't take into consideration the shipping costs. If decided to buy then cannot choose those cheap couriers, precious cargo too high risk if lost. Yeap, MP22 is only priced at RM400+ only i think. By the way, they kept on mentioning the term "oversize". what exactly does that term mean.
Grimlock no terung, Grimlock King!
*
Oversize KO means.. a KO where the size is upscaled from that of the original toy. Like the toy might be previously a leader class, now they have upscaled it to double the size of a leader class.

can't save, other hobbies suck money too  sweat.gif . usually, by the time i managed to save up, price is absurd already. so end up spending in my other hobbies.  laugh.gif

to be honest, i dont think saving up solves it. TF stuff is usually time bound. you missed your window, then be prepared to pay premium.  mad.gif it's save up, and be alert of the purchasing window. so complex !  doh.gif

what i do is for 3rd party.. the minute i see grey prototype, I guesstimate the price, and i start menabung. Like Utopia and FansToys dinobots..

Already know for example I will biuy their Snarl, Sludge and Grimlock.. their timeframe usually 1 year 2 (that is being generous) bots.. so can estimate how much to put aside each month ..

What i m talking here is about the price of RM550. The choices of TF itemz ppl can buy for equal or less than RM550. MP-9B is only an example i use.  dry.gif  doh.gif

  Another example is Hasbro AOE Plat Edition Dinobots set of 5 which cost less than RM500. I m waiting for mine to arrive. Below is the review

  In the end, it all comes down to individual collector preferences.

Yup it's up to each collector's preferences. Personally for me I would not pay rm 300 for those dinbots.. just don't have a feel of the aesthetics ..




annd it's Sunday night.. after a week of hauls

Like this not enough. Please release him from his plastic prison brows.gif. Anyway really like the new head sculpt...  the chrome not so much. The new changes are not enough to justify getting another one since I already have the 1st edition of Hexatron sleep.gif . Still hoping some 3rd party company will make a replacement head for him (Which I doubt is even more highly unlikely now since this one is already out sad.gif ).

Yep I got both.. and i"m thinking of selling the old one... as soon as I need some money for budgeting hehe

so anybody getting the Xovergen Godbomber this month?

I actually preordered it.. and then cancelled.. the longer I had the Xvoergen trailers the more I disliked them. In the end, I sold them both biggrin.gif...

Honestly Xvoergen's plastic quality, overall product quality etc isn't that good..

Do you have the Xvoergen trailers? If you don't i'll tell you that the material feels horrible. it comes with guns that was hard to 'tab" into the hands if it even tabs at all.. two of the knee cannons came apart into pieces out of the box.. (that was no big deal though just had to put them bacvk togther and glue them)

They might have improved their QC but honestly looking at the pictures so far.. the plastic looks about the same..

Nope. For the price TRU is selling Hasbro Prowl (around RM359, last I checked), I'm sticking with the TakTom Prowl for several reasons:-

(a) It is priced WAY cheaper than TRU's offering (TakTom Prowl at most RM180 MISB);
(b) TakTom MP Prowl comes with extra accessories and collectors coin, so bang for the buck;
© The Hasbro MP box will stick out like a sore thumb amongst the other Nissan MPs (and I personally prefer the glossy black boxes).

But that is me smile.gif
*
The Hasbro Mp-10 box at least looks like a proper toy box.. The Hasbro MP-Prowl box.. macam some KO toy's box... no way is that box worth rm 270 lol (this is considering the initial price of rm 450.. even if rm 350 also not worth the 170 for the KO-looking box)

woo Combiner Wars Voyager OPTIMUS PRIME look solid & good design.
but the front look alike like flat monitor. lol

I bought the superion set earlier from someone whom I asusme he imported from HK.. I sitll can't bring myself to buy this Prime.. he looks like he was made in Minecraft. The blocky design works for Motor Master but not so much Prime. Also the paint apps on him are a bit bad such as the unpainted window.

I'm waiting to see what Takara does with this.

Bro, I was just stating that IF the TakTom MP10 comes later this year together with the previously released Coin & Stand, it is a complete steal if priced below RM600.

And yes, the previous 2nd Reissue (or was it 3rd?) TakTom MP10 had the Coin and Stand as standard, but even if you PO it back then the price was +RM700. Just like how Hasbro made their recently reissued MP10, which come with Vector Sigma as gift.

I think that person understood you properly.. There's a chinese saying, "Fell down, insist to grab a handful of sand". Just some people trying to save "face"
