Hi, i have never own any transformers toys when i was young (because my family was not well off).

Now I am 30 and thinking to collect a full set of leader class DotM or RotF (keep them for my son?)

so, would like to get some advise from taikos here, where can i get full set DotM or RotF?
*
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 .

Wow, I'm so glad nobody on this forum is doing the whole "Take pictures of our collection, and make it into a tribute for MH17 mourning"..

Unless I've just jinxed it.
*
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.

Strangely till date I have not seen any 3rd party taking on project in making the following TF :

1. Star Saber / Victory Leo
2. Leo Kaiser
3. Dai Atlas

Maybe it's because they are not as well known outside Japan... hmm.gif ?
*
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).

After seeing the recent photos of SS , I might just hold back till my wallet recover a bit .

agreed.

and from the looks of it, Star Saber is staying faithful in therms of transformation with its G1 counterpart.

and he looks...AWESOME. waiting for 3rd party Victory Leo!
*
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.

This MP line is similar with OP as it is not based on a real vehicle. Yes OP is a cabtruck but what is the brand? and that color scheme, it helps making the thing, toyish tongue.gif

and I like it.
pray hard bro!!  biggrin.gif

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%

No news on whether a Victory Leo is in the works.

TakTom had previously announced that 2015 is the year of the Decepticons, so I'm hoping that a MP Megatron that scales with MP-10 OP is in the works. And maybe Shockwave (since I missed out on FT Quakewave), Reflector and those early Decepticon characters.
*
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.

Its a bit of a shame actually, i have to admit the first 2 members are actually pretty good standalone figures.. but not-hotspot was a bit of a wtf.. but colored pics of him in torso mode actually looks quite good, though i think TFC picked a horrible angle for that prototype shot
*
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.

Anyone know where i can still get MP-21 with PO price? That aside, anyone here owned a TFC Photron? I really like the concept of a 3 bot transform into one alternative mode.

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

Haha oh man why you must mention the hanging arms and bikini... now I can't unsee it also :/

Overall still looks great to me though. I appreciate the level of molded detail and the dimensions. He really feels like Bruticus.

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

Bro, you can share the stuff you enjoy also one mah... I honestly out of the combiner wars was hoping for a good aerial bot team even if I have TFC Uranos but when I look at pics like these. This being 2014 and all...
user posted image

Nvm that the hands are not hidden. But look at those holes on the hand... Looks like a legends class toy to me.

I really can't muster up the enthusiasm to chat about it.. I know some defend it that .. The price is low compared to 3rd party.. I want to point out however that this year alone prior to Hasbro announcing their simple steps transformers (that supposedly will not affect Generations)  we had some pretty good deluxe figures that was even cheaper than the current ones we have now..
*
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.

can't really remember as i pre-ordered long time ago and it was rumoured the final price will be RM800+! cos at that time it was said that the white cab is transformable like MP10 and plus the trailer armor. thus the high price.

but now i think the final price is RM400+-
*
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.
