Hey everyone! Longtime lurker here and a big fan of this place in particular. Thanks to you guys I knew when the pre-orders were up for MP-10 and I scored two. Couldn't be happier with this mold. Here is a shot of a portion of my stuff. Got an MP Sideswipe and Soundwave on the way this January. Can't wait!
Lookin good! Your MP Roddy is a little mistransformed in the arms--I just got mine and couldn't figure out the arms for the life of me but when it's all tabbed in right, WOW does it look and feel good! The lower bicep section swivels so the partial chrome pipes face the inside of the vehicle mode (hidden) and the longer chrome pipes on the forearm rotate at a hard-to-see cut joint towards wrist-end of the pipes, which puts the tab on the pipes on the opposite side. That tab fits into the slot in the leg giving the appearance of continuous chrome pipes! (the small, pointy part of the pipes on the wrist is covered by the little flap on the leg that sort of covers the hand)
Masterpiece Grimlock is so cool. I've been wanting him for a while, but couldn't justify over $200 for a toy. I was at a comic convention a couple weeks back and saw a vendor had him. They were asking $200 so it looked like I was going to miss out again. I went back at the end of the show and saw him still there. The vendor went down to $125 for me! He was opened and was missing his crown, but I finally got him! Couldn't been happier with him. The visor alone is so good. He looks alive. JDK: Thanks for the heads up. I knew something was off there. I watched a youtube video for transformation. Hot Rod was just too complicated to transform otherwise. I'm going to go fix those arms now.
I think the colour of Thundercracker in your shots shows how good he can look. Nice start. I'd recommend getting a version of the MP-1 mold just because it's still awesome, if you have room.
Welcome dude. your off to a great start. i as well don't collect TF prime or beast hunters. stay on that path. G1, G2, RID, Unicron Trilogy, MP, CHUG. all that stuff is awesome.
