I'm surprised you guys didn't see Cyberverse as an homage to Micromaster bases. I could really see the repaints of these guys being Micromaster Homages.

 

Do you guys really think the Entertainment pack could cost upwards to $40!? I'm expecting $20 since that's been the precendent for previous ones, MAYBE $25 because of the kids. I mean we're getting 2 small Deluxes, 3 PVC figures and a DVD. The Battle in Space pack goes for $20 and gives up 2 deluxes, a Die Cast Matrix and a comic.

 

i love listening to these. i might have to get one of those skeletons now..
i cant wait for the next primetime episode!  

 

You got one with the same two faces? I think one face is suppose to look off to the side though.

Anyway, I believe the cat's designed to hang over her shoulder (I think there's a spot on the cloak?). So you may well be able to do the same with the skeleton?

 

This is going to be the worst year for my wallet!

 

I think their logic was that deluxe prices were going up to nearly $14.99 in some areas.

The battle in space pack has been $19.99 everywhere I've looked though.
And also applying to the animated battle begins pack. Which I've seen at retail between $19.99 - $23.99

So I think Hasbro is going to keep this entertainment pack cost pretty much where were used to, because its supposed to be a over produced value for parents. That introduces kids to transformers prime if they haven't already been watching it.

 

Regarding RtS Lugnut. I got mine from BBTS about a month ago and love it. You may have missed the initial shipment and saw a relisted pre-order for a restock. I haven't heard of anywhere that actually has him in stores, so I'm glad I decided to buy it online early. My United version should be here shortly.

 

You could do a whole podcast with just Seth talking about Raf

I really want a Sgt Chaos toy now and a Margaret Chaos (nun)

Rigmarole <-- Do I get a prize.

Giant thanks to Gog for telling us about Front Mission 3 on PSN, It still holds up after all these years and its so much fun being able to play it again after all these years.

 

Also, I don't care what anyone says, vehicles from Halo Wars are just as legit as any other Halo vehicle. Those MegaBlocks vehicles aren't "made up".  

 

Dan is freaking great. He is everything that the other two should have been. In fact, he's probably one of the best SIC KT figures I own, and I've got damn near all of them. With Dan Bandai seem to have remembered that shoulders are supposed to move in multiple directions. It was nice to hear Vangelus praise him, too, as it seems like very few people bothered with Dan after the disappointments that were Garo and Zero. I'm kind of holding off on Kiba for now too, though. Two strikes and one hit isn't a fantastic record.

 

you know you got a long podcast when today is the 4th time your gonna try and finish this episode (i have fallen asleep 3 times XD not from being bored, i just got too tired to finish)

and that is a good thing haha at least i made it to the two hour mark last night haha

 

I think you guys are either misreading, or just really stretching the meaning of Prime's last words at the end of Master and Student.

I mean it's not like Prime offered Skyquake an opinion and Sky was all like: "Nah." Skyquake's response was basically: "I don't like you, and I'm going to kill you!"

Primes words were lamenting on the outcome of this meeting.
Skyquake made his choice, and when someone's choice is to kill you, you're going to have to put them down. Even if you'd rather not have to, they're not giving you any other choice.

As for Bumblebee, yeah I know. No one likes Bee anymore. He sucks. He's the stupid Bay-Bee. He's crazy violent...And so on, and so on, and so on...
But look at it this way, Skyquake had achieved "Air Superiority" and obviously wasn't going to listen to reason, so Bee took the only option they had, which was to take him down. It was either that, or get blown up by heat seekers.

 

Loved all the MP-09 feed back the last few weeks. Back in December I had to make a decision on what to spend my money on. I could go with the fans project protector armor and a nice fansproject Warbot defender or for a bit more go with MP-09 Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. The feedback regarding the protector armor was solid from those pod casters that picked it up, so I went with Protector and Warbot. I'm really glad I did and it feels as if a major bullet was dodged. I think the Mp-09 was very ambitious but it seems to have fallen short. If a toys engineering fails to work properly then it is not "good engineering" no matter how ambitious it maybe. With all that being said I will be picking up the US version of the toy in hopes that they clean up some of the issues and for under $100 ill take a chance on it. Love the podcast ,and I for one enjoy the longer episodes.

 

Seth, my cyclonus was exactly the same as yours. nice quality... almost too tight.

 

Wow, another 3 hrs of podcasting wonderment by Vangelus and the O-Team. I have to say the Revoltech Skeleton is very cool I haven't doubt that someone could make a decent zombie, but thats just me.

 

I get that you'd rather have your Mass Effect stuff from NECA Vangelus but I wouldn't exactly call the guys in DC Direct "clowns" especially after I got Arkham Asylum Wave 1 in hand. Maybe their distribution is a little iffy but I think the quality of their sculpts are as good as NECA. Maybe lacking in the articulation department, I admit but AA Batman attests that they can be saved.

 

i got a perfect BiS Rodimus and cyclonus, should i be afraid for the MP Rodimus that is suppose to arrive wednesday?

 

Gogdog I have to call you out on your comment about the animated 2-pack Megatron. My recollection was that more people found the deluxe version to be a superior Cybertron mode Megatron toy than the Voyager. Perhaps It's my personal bias (I really hated how they implemented the cannon arm and that the transformation was virtually identical), but that's what I remember.
