its not about the specific toylines/waves etc. Get anything that reminded you of your childhood. I could be a few from this line, one from another.. and oh wow.... masterpiece aint too bad too .

half of them looks like males in disguise.

mourning should be universally simple (and from the heart) without involving equipment/tools/toys/collections.

I can't bear to open folder and photochop anything to represents my sadness feeling, so it would be even useless if I finally did it and show to others, expect others to understand what I just 'chopped/published.


Same like breakups and other sadness. I wont immediately go and use LEGO and make a broken heart shape + arrow piercing it, then show to other see "how bad I'm currently feeling". I dont even have the mood to play LEGO if my emotion was that down anyway.

Yea. I also think so. when Star Saber won the Masterpiece poll last year, alot of hoo haa made by US fans because the character is unknown to them (TF:Victory was not aired there).

Specialising in rare stuff. I bought my "Lucky Draw" Brave Maximus from him almost 10 years ago, thinking its a good deal at 1k ( poslaju all the way from Pg to KL) .When I gotten bored of it (too big,collecting dust) I tried to sell it off thinking "lucky draw" means rare can get good price , but I found out the toy is not a lucky draw. The box is "Lucky draw" though . (generic Brave Max toy box is colorful with boxart, Lucky draw box is plain white box with a barcode or something).

I accept my fate and move on. The lucky buyer of my generic Brave Max is a fellow Transmyian , and I let go the toy to him for rm700 I think.


Ahh..I just googled and found my old thread in tfw2005 about my concerns:

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers...ve-maximus.html


I dunt want to "mislead" my buyer about this toy before selling it off back then.

ps: I did confront the Pg seller about this, and he tell me he was also duped by the previous seller. A good lesson for me not to be gullible on rare stuff (many KOs out there).

Warrgh... so jeles u guys can PO both UM and SS at the same time.. Im still balancing my budget coz coz I PO UM and WJ months earlier. After seeing the recent photos of SS , I might just hold back till my wallet recover a bit . I think deep down, I'm still hoping for official announcement of MP VLeo before moving in for the kill. hmm...

The wait will be painful I think. Majority of the US fans still not endearing themselves to Japanese TF / Victory series characters. So the 3rd party market for VLeo is niche . And thats why we keep seeing 3rd party going all out producing stuff based on core G1 characters ... even obscure ones.

We I'm banking on takara to "finish the job" there heheh.

Half the battle is won when Star Saber is made. When once I thought MP Star Saber would be almost impossible (After seeing MP line keeps focusing mostly on G1 vehicles ) , Vleo would be far from mind.

Now times have changed. I think the chances we see MP Vleo is at least 50%

Judging from the frequency of MP offerings ( 3 -4 stuff per year)...2015 will be my year of the dompetkosong.LOL.

Hopefully they come in small doses like MP cars then I'm sated.

aku pun "terduduk". Dulu berlambak shelfwarm rm35 sebijik.

I hope the price is around YOTH Prime then I'll be satisfied.

I guess even 3rd party guys are having a hard time to maintain balance between the toy complexity and cost. A good looking Hotspot with a good Defensor body may still be possible , but it might involve hundreds of hinges / components / moving parts and blew the production cost out of the water.

Nothing improves a 'bot like a decent piece of shiny breast-plate. he'll get the fembots for sure!

3-bot combiner eeh... then I suggest U skip Photron and go hunt for RID Railracer

Nothing beats legend class Abominus combiner when it comes to a day at the beach. he's wearing Borat swimwear.

Hasbro once announced the price hike due to the increased in raw material cost. And they've been putting "holes" and hollowed parts in toys for years now to save the volume of plastic used too. And yea.... its actually a slightly better legend sized figure but carded under 2014 deluxe price. The amount of moulds in a figure does reflect that clearly.

Hmm.. lets just say my banknotes will willingly glide out from my wallet to secure the powerglide.

HMm... those already got their combiners and also Metroplex.. can try see if can do a scramble city merging: Combiner members connected to Metroplex .

I preordered mine after seeing the estimated price stated by the toy shop as around rm480.

my 2 cents: Don't think taktom will produce MP Galvy with similar size as UM above to be able to pick UM up in such a way.
