LOL the TF thread is transforming into an 80s/90s nostalgia thread...

Anyone got feedback on Toyworld Orion and Hegemon?

Getting more and more tempted to order the Orion Nemesis repaint + Hegemon v2

Thanks! Looks good aesthetically, better than the Toyworld one in fact.

But no G1 look makes it hard for an oldtimer like me to bite the bullet and buy one!

Haha yeah, searching is fun... and waiting is sorta fun too, once you start preordering stuff

Wow for real??? AFAIK even the hobby shops don't have it yet.

Time to decide whether to pull the trigger on the Hasbro version now... or wait till December to get the Takara one without the fugly red chrome...

Haha amen.

I love Transformers - yet a part of me can't justify why I still collect them.

There is no intrinsic benefit to the hobby apart from appreciating the way these chunks of plastic can be unfolded into differently shaped chunks of plastic.

And unless you design or customize your own figures, they don't make you smarter or more creative either.

So... how much are you selling your MP3 Starscream for?

Hehehe the biggest enemy of the Transformers is not cosmic rust... it's our wives...

I have no idea how to make my wife appreciate TF. She doesn't even want me to display it because she says it's too "childish" and "nerdy"

And yeah, Quake Wave is one of the most universally praised figures out there right now. But prices are insane, can only hope for a reissue at this point.

Finally found some female TF fans

What's the retail price?

Thanks man! Interestingly, the Takara version is going to cost around the same.

There are a couple on ebay for RM400+.

EDIT: my bad, it's actually MP-1B.

MP-10 is such a fantastic figure, the only one that has ever tempted me to get a different color of a mold I already own.

Buy also most probably tak rugi... can easily resell later on for minimal loss (or even a profit )

Bro, how about...

I get the Hasbro Jetfire now and keep the chrome guns for you.

Then, when you get the Takara Jetfire in December, we can swap the guns

Also, TakTom version is RM210 if you preorder. RM230 regular price.

There are plenty Jetfires at AEON 1 Utama, checked it out this evening.

Discount has now been upgraded from 10% + 10% to flat 20%.

Which means it's now RM175 + RM10 voucher = RM165.

I was gonna wait for Takara but got this because price is too good.

Takara's version looks marginally better but IMO no way is it worth waiting to December + an extra RM45

Careful when choosing your Jetfire. Mine has some chrome paint missing from one of the guns.

The face also has some poorly applied paint around the chin (but that one can't check, because his helmet is tied to his face in the box).

FansProject's next dinobot in the LER series, after Columpio:







Looks great... yet I don't feel the urgency to buy into this set. Probably because the aesthetics don't really fit into any existing lines.

It's not even listed on Rakuten anymore, most probably sold out in most places.

Might have to just call up every TRU you're willing to travel to:

Maybe try prioritizing the less busy or more 'out of town' TRUs. Like the new one at Jaya Shopping Mall. Or the new one in Tesco Klang.

More images of the Transformer that doesn't look like a Transformer

Nice to see the brainmaster gimmick is fully intact!

Chan, jari tak gatal ke nak koyak kotak tu, main main sket barang kat dalam?

Wow that's really cheap.

I wish Famitoy would be more active online so we don't need to go there/call them to find out stuff like this.

I know they have their blog, but no prices on it AFAIK.

Unless they have an active Facebook page I'm just unaware of?
