  1. Isn't getting just the figure something like 20 bucks. Since that really is all I'm interested in I think I'll go that route. Threw away the publication and really only had a passing interest in the comic.
  2. I know this is easily one of my two favorite shows on right now (JL being the other), so much so that I broke down and bought all the disk that have been released so far even if they were pricey, wish they had a more price friendly box set. I know last week I cussed because I wanted to see more when it ended. Hopefully this weeks episode isn't a disappointment after the strong lead in. I do wish that they would have kept showing it thru the week though, I missed one episode in my recording and had to stop since FMA is one that you have to see in order. Shame too because it was right in the Greed arch. Basically the episodes that I didn't get are the ones right where they stopped showing.(LOL) I'm sure they'll air them again eventually or they'll get on DVD so no worries.
  3. You know even if it would have been somewhat corny, this is the vehicle that they should have saved the name Ravage for.
  4. I have alot of them in my photobucket account, but going thru the Yahoo group is the easiest way to get the majority of them. Some of them I haven't taken pictures of and probably won't get them since I gave them to my girlfriend. The hardest one to lose pics of is my Bumblebee Bumblebee. Basically its Bumblebee painted like well a Bumblebee, complete with add on wings and a nasty stinger thats the length of the car and wouldn't pass any child safety test. I still have about six or seven projects that I just put aside at some point or another that I should really finish. Have a nice Sunstorm that I have to finish that in my opinion looks better then any that I have ever seen, including the Takara version, much closer to the comic style with the two shades of orange. Really just have to get the decaling and touch up the wings and white paint. Orange is so hard to work with and make it look nice.
  5. swat team's not custom @hmmm@ i saw a custom one just like this go on ebay for about $130 plus shipping... had the box and everything... just not a new front panel like mine has... but yea SB, I've tried to sell a couple of customs on ebay and didn't get enough to warrant selling them. I just can't see how a custom Streak could go for that much I mean thats over 10 times the cost of the base figure now. I think that might have just been a matter of some customizer wanting to make themselves look good and just had secondary accounts bidding it up. Though I do know that customs of figures that actually have existed sell better then orginal characters. Even my one with my custom gatling guns only went for around 50 bucks. I do have to get back into doing customs, started a new job and my hours didn't really allow for much time and with the new job came less stress, and since I customized to burn off that I didn't really have much of a desire to do it. Now I have new first shift hours so plenty of time. And I do have some ideas for figures as well. Just can't let you snatch some of my titles away from me.
  6. Ok just got mine in the mail today from BBTS. Definately the definative version of the figure. Less bulky then the Matchbox/Trendmasters version, but with good weight none the less. Has great articulation, just enough that it can achieve alot of poses, but not to much that it detracts from the figure. To the tip of the back wings the figure stands just under a foot tall. I'm at work right now and don't have access to my Masterpiece Prime so I can't get pictures of the two, but perhaps I will tonight. While the figure is pricey I think its is worth it and I think that demand for the figure will most likely lead to it not dropping all that much as with the Toynami Valks. There are a few areas where the paint aps are a little sloppy on mine, green lion's number has some red paint bleeding into the yelllow. And of course there is the normal proportion problems for the lions, but really you can't make the green and red lions to much bigger without really hurting the Voltron mode, and since most collectors will have it displayed in this mode that is the correct one to make look right. I think this is a quality figure worthy of the masterpiece name, and much better then the Trendmasters version that I have at home. If you are a fan of the series you really do need to find a way to get this figure in your collection.
  7. Nice, hopefully you have better luck selling yours then I did selling a similar though lighter shade of blue that I tried. According to Synch it was a nice one too.(LOL) Couldn't even get 15 for mine. Which of course somewhat ticks me off when I see vastely inferior ones (not yours) going for obscene amounts, and I'm sure you feel the same.
  8. Ok, not a major fan of TT, but if this is how the series ends its really weak. They don't stop the bad guy, have the Terra thing pretty much unresolved, they never show what is in that dang briefcase either. You just don't end a series with a episode that looks and acts like a part one of a multi-parter. Honestly I think I would have been better off skipping the episode entirely and thinking the last episode was the true final, since that really is the feel that one had. I also read on another board that this episode was suppose to make it impossible to go back and make new episodes. I have no idea why this is the case after seeing it, other then it being so disappointing that it might turn off people from seeing anything new.
  9. I'm not interested in them at all, and probably wouldnt' be even if they were seven dollars a pop. Did see the four new alternators and bought the three that I didn't have (Prowl, Skids, Sunstreaker) Tracks is the only one that I left and the only one they have now after about two weeks.
  10. Well the character was voiced by Susan Blu (Arcee) so I'm going with that it was a female character as well. That being said I won't be getting that figure because I have all the BW figures that I really want and find most of the shell formers to be not that great figures to start with. Now if they were some of the transmetal versions maybe.
  11. I use to watch CN all the time, now I find that they really aren't airing anything of value. If not for Full Metal Alchemist I wouldn't really have anything on it to watch in terms of new programming. JLU is one of the best shows on tv, for it to be treated this way is really a shame. They don't have to show the new episodes, but they can at least show repeats at least once a week. Considering they have time to show their Cartoon Cartoon shows five or six times a week if not more its not like there aren't schedule spots for something different.
  12. I have the orange/gray one from Biglots as well and was rather impressed with the quality of them. For knockoffs they really aren't that bad at all.
  13. I would use webroots spy sweeper, you have to pay for it, but it is alot better then any of the free ones, of the free ones the microsoft beta is probably the best. I would make sure you AV definitions are up to date and run that but I think that what you have is a nasty piece of spyware and running a spy sweeper will most likely get rid of it for you. A way to avoid stuff like this in the future is to stay away from the free download stuff like cursors, screensavers even some wallpapers unless you know they are safe. Just because something says its free doesn't necessarily mean its free.
  14. Justice Lords Hawkgirl Thanagarian Armor Hawkgirl Current Shayera Spacesuit Hawkgirl Whatever outfit they put Shayera in when she becomes Hawkgirl again Only collect Hawkgirl figures from the line so my wish list is rather limited.
  15. Another thing that I think would help the ehobby figure is if the chest grill was silver. All that blue one his chest is what I think makes it look like a knock off.
  16. I agree that the one Gaz did is vastely superior. The only thing that I would have liked with his that the ehobby one has is the blue sword. Other then that his is perfect and as it should have been. I suspect that the trailer will be something somewhat plain like Scourges and not slattered with decals that have his name running down the side of it. If anything I would redo the trailer into a non-transforming car carrier. If I knew it would be close to scale with the Laser prime mold I would use the one that was sold with the Super Gobot Stacks.
  17. I think it would have been alot better if it were all white with blue trim. The armor look just doesn't look right at all with that mold. As it was said before it just looks to much like a knockoff.
  18. I only saw the one that is in my possesion. Grimlock surprisingly is the better of the two. Swoop is just so plain looking.
  19. My cat plays catch. I throw a little hedgehog toy (which he'll also play fetch with) up the stairs and he'll go and get it set it on the stairs then swat it back down to me so I can throw it back up for him to catch again.
  20. Both are coming to DVD on March 21 of next year according to tvshowsondvd.com http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=4647 http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=4648
  21. The only extra is a making of 20 minute interview with various people involved in the series. It was pretty good but if your expecting major extras I think the set will disappoint you. It does have some trailers for some WB disk as well, but those I don't really count as extras since they really don't have anything to do with the series at all. Even though there is a special features listing on all the disk the only one that has them is the last disk....and that last disk even has a check other disk for more special features on it, so it has something of a uncomplete look. So far I've found the episodes on this disk to be better then the last, so I'll say if you enjoyed the first you'll enjoy this one as well.
  22. Doesn't look like much at all in terms of extras. Just something from one of the creators on the development of the series it looks like. Have only gotten thru the first two disk though. Don't like how they feel like their out of order, though I suspect that its done in production order and not order of airing. Image quality is about the same as the last set.
  23. Don't know, I usually could care less about the extras. I just want the episodes. Doubt that I'll even give them a look over. I'm going to watch a few of the episodes before I go to bed so I might just give it a scan to see whats on there for you guys.
  24. Look for lots, surely there is at least one that has a wheelie in it that with some work could get you a cheep or even free wheelie after reselling some of the excess. Wheelie is one figure that I've refused to own, even for a extremely short period of time that it would take for me to relist it, so I don't have one.
