Sorry bud. You’re forgetting that it’s Gangstas foe life - Dubb C (west side connection). No coronation set for you. lol
God I hope they all have consistent canopy opacities!! I'm not OCD, but that will turn me and give me a fit! They will, though, right? All three in a year - ouch! I wonder if it's just a different sales strategy? Perhaps TC and SW dont sell so well previously in part because they are just repaints of a mould people already own with Starscream, so many pass as they are now bored with the mould and these aren't as major characters? Maybe now they are trying announce all three before we even get the first one so that people are still excited about the mould and smash in the preorders for all three?
Does anyone know how to cancel an order from ToyDojo? Do they even do that? I wanted to get points from TCP but I can’t figure out how to back out from my existing order.
I might be misinterpreting, but it sounds like you think an MP Jetfire/Skyfire is on the horizon because of repaint potential. What would they repaint him AS??
Come to papa? My Christmas tree is gonna look immaculate this year and expensive, three seekers and FT Bandit/Menasor! What a year to be a collector!
I got to say the new Coronation helmet is really impressive looking. It has some kind of sculpting (either directly on the piece or behind a clear red part) that really makes it look far more accurate (and in my opinion far superior) than the previous coronation crown.
That first pic of him waving has to be a reference to Fire On The Mountain. "Have a good time playing crystal nurse, Screamer! Byyyyyyyeeeeeee!!" Preordered, of course.
Seeing Skywarp with a painted faux cockpit next to Starscream and Thundercracker with clear faux cockpits seems a bit jarring to me.
This is gonna be a great year for the Decept shelf which is starving for show accuracy. I ended up starting the FT "Menasor" collection to try to balance it out. As great as those figs are, there's nothing like the real thing.
what’s the deal with getting the new coronation set? You have to be in Japan? I remember it sounding complicated, became disheartened and kind of threw in the towel about getting it, but the completionist is strong in me
I wonder if Skywarp's canopy does indeed end up more frosted than the others, it's because his base color is so much darker than the others. This was a problem with prior Skywarp Masterpiece figures, where you kind of lose the orange color that he showcases in robot mode as you're viewing all the black plastic parts behind the canopy. I wonder if this is to alleviate that (whether they remain consistent will be interesting to see).
So if I am getting Starscream from Amazon Japan and Thudercracker&Skyearp from TFSource, will I be able to get the coronation gear?
Looks like I might be able to preorder this with a birthday discount that would drop the price to 22,000 yen. Very tempting, indeed.
I think it’s a matter of having a Japan based mailing address to participate in the promotion. You just mail in the survey POP inside the box for Japanese residence only. It reminds to be seen if the rest of the world gets to buy this set in a different capacity.
Too expensive, Omegalock will probably have him cheaper just like they did with Thundercracker. But, man, AE now have a pay later option although more pricey. Very nice touch.
