      Sincerely hope the thread goes well!

      (It's easier for us to meet up in the UK because we don't live in a giant country-continent, constantly surrounded by nightmare animals.)

      I like the very black deco of the Takara MP Skywarp (I still haven't clue why I sold him before). I don't mind the samurai look, the kibble could've been handled better, but it's not a deal breaker for me like it is for others. I find the lack of balance more of a problem.

      I haven't picked up the MP-11 mould yet, I've never been fond of the seekers per se, and a lack of a Skywarp deco for that mould has lead me to not pick one of those up. The less realistic alt mode puts me off too, as I do like plane Transformers that are good at hiding there robot kibble from the side, MP-3/6/7 do this well, as does RotF Mindwipe; it's a shame he didn't have a black deco lol.

      I had a few Walkmans (Walkmen?), and Discmans, and Minidisk Walkman's, since I spent so much time on public transport.

      I keep to-ing and fro-ing with Soundblaster, I like his robot mode, but he turns into what amounts to be a box; I don't have any attachment to him or Soundwave for some reason. I think was Ratbat was a good choice in the absence of the cassette combiner though.

      I re-bought MP-6 Skywarp, I don't know what possessed me to sell him in the first place. I know you don't regard him as a black repaint, but he ticks a lot of the same boxes for me as the Nemesis Primes and Black Convoys, ie. a sharp looking black deco.

      Do you waiting for black Knight set? I like Takara versions more than Hasbro's Platinum

      Hello! It seems that I'll get my 4 Movie Dinobots soon! I saw that only Voyager Grimlock and Deluxe Slug have gallery pages, I want to make gallery for Scorn and possibly Strafe :o(I ordered him from ebay and he will arrive later) Should I take photos on black background? Of course photos on black are spectacular!

      Thanks.

      Some of the repaints are quite beautiful, in my eyes anyway, especially MP-9B. I would've like to have heard more about the repaints from those who designed them. Still, all in all a worthwhile purchase.

      I quite like it. I like having the drawings and the promotional photos collected in a book. The photos for the repaints are very scarce though, which is a shame because I tend to like the some of the repaints more than the original decos, eg. the black repaints.

      Your translations of the interviews also added value to the book for me.

      How did you like the Masterpiece book?

      Especially if he keeps the boxes, and all the pieces lol

      That's a shame, but maybe inevitable that kids are turning from the physical to the virtual, more and more.

      Lol, I hope there is a nerd gene, as my wife is bit of a lapsed nerd, so the chances of my son being a nerd is quite high.

      HLJ were pretty fast delivering Go Prime to me at the end of last year, it was a pretty good experience using them. I was going to buy the Masterpiece book from them, but I noticed it was backordered with HLJ.

      Eh, I broke down and bought the new masterpiece book from Amazon.jp

      I'm also keen on the new Evasion Mode Nemesis Prime, but I haven't found a pre-order yet, which is discouraging. I may get the Masterpiece book, but I'm trying to work out if it is good value.

      My wife is expecting, she's 6 months pregnant today, and we've already chosen a buggy, and looking at car seats lol. But I'm generally saving, saving, saving.

      How old are yours? How do you handle giving yourself a toy budget with dependants?

      The reason I sold off Universe Nemesis Prime is that he didn't go with anything else I had, the same is true now I guess. I'm trying to be more focussed on Masterpiece and black repaints in these days of (baby induced) belt tightening, he doesn't go with either.

      I guess Takara will eventually do a MP Skywarp 2.0, but they seem to be in no rush (maybe MP-6 Skywarp and MP-7 Thundercracker were slow sellers). I'm not so sure about Hasbro, as they tend to be picky about which Masterpieces to release. I'm considering hunting down a MP-6 again.
