Yeah this a mega skip for me, these just look like old generations figures and it has so much cibbel...

 

Anybody know the cheapest place to preorder the last trainbot if you're Stateside? A-E has insane shipping prices, but I know its likely less than $154 shipped ...

 

Kind of a dick move to mark it as a \"kid\'s\" video given the fact that these toys are aimed at adult collectors.

 

I’m using AJ, the price will drop over the next few weeks.

 

I find it fascinating how that image illustrates all the issues of MPG Seizan pretty well.

 

I was just showing the backpack removal being a core design thing. Flipping it into some kind of critique when they've obviously diverted from the cartoon is a little facetious.

 

Dick move huh? Please explain how you are offended or hurt by this choice that doesn't affect anyone else.


On another note, I wish the "chug" thing about these guys never spread around. Those who call them chug haven't had one in hand

 

True, but are allowed to critique the presence of the arm kibble, the wonky proportions, the shape and function of the backpack based on that picture or are we only allowed to use it to speak positively about MPG Seizan?

 

Thanks! Yoink. Seems best price although delivery charge was a bit much last time.

Overall: like. Backpack kibble is a bit much but I noticed it depends very much on how it is arranged, and the angle. The shots of the panels either side like wings in those flying action shots... those are very cool.

 

You are allowed to voice your opinion but don't quote me simply showing someone the backpack on the sheet to spit your opinion, just post it lol

 

Only had option of DHL for my last purchase from them. I am located in England though. US might have more options. On the plus side, I got fast delivery.

 

Ok... So what's the deal with the sides of the feet? Are those blocks removable, or is that intentional? I'm sorry, I tried searching, but 600 pages is too much to sift through

 

Are you talking about in combined mode?

 

Yes, the combined feet

 

Detachable

 

Those are Raiden's "leg beams". Partsformed pieces, removable. They come from the backpacks of the arms and simply plug into the ankles.

 

To be honest, I personally have always thought trainbots kinda suck.



The rest of TFW2005:

 

Specifically, they're supposed to be analogous to these weapons on the original G1 toy, even though they look almost nothing like them.

 

I'm Dutch, but not buying from there. I don't know why anyone would choose to pay too much for these there when there's Amazon Japan for example, which is cheaper and has great customer service. And I could get it even a bit cheaper, but at the cost of bad customer service, hence sticking to Amazon Japan. And those people then complain that they had to pay €170!? It's no wonder that I've thus far always been able to sell my obsolete Masterpieces with a profit; I would still be cheaper than the shops these people would normally buy from. If you pay €170 then yes, they would be overpriced, but luckily you can buy them for less and the actual prices are perfectly in line with all other Masterpieces.

 

My current approach has been pre-order it from amazon.jp and from someone like BigBad. And then as we get closer to the release whichever one is lower I will cancel the other one.
