So why did Takua wear a blue mask in the first place? Was he color-blind? Or just retarded?
Why didn't Lego give these guys cooler, more memorable names? Like transformer names.
>>5268400
to make sure he looked different. I dont know all the lore but it seems he helped create the universe (or something) and then was disguised as a commoner
It was a black mask. I got that one.

Grunt Bash Group Build
It's time for a new group build, and damn simple one. All you need to do is combine a grunt design with a one off design, including named Gundams, Sazabi, Kampfer, and the like.
Due By: November 10th
As always, send it to (and post it here!): [email protected]
Gunpla/Plamo Secret Santa!
Sign ups run until December 4th. I'll try to have everyone paired up by December 6th.
Like last year, I'm going to have everyone fill out a Google form so I can collect the information easily.
Also, if you have some kits in your backlog that you are willing to part with feel free to email me a list and estimated values.

Anyone here ever had one of those weeks where you contemplate really hard on whether to save your money or spend it on a rare figure you really really like with its value raised through the roof?
Like you sometimes idle around for hours thinking about spending your hard earned cash, maybe even masturbating twice to have clarity when deciding and while you're sitting there planning out whether to spend your dosh or to not let your urges get the best of you, someone might already bein the process of buying it ahead of you which by then you're either freed from overthinking about spending money or burdened by the regret of not buying it sooner, which might be accompanied by buyer's remorse?
No.
>>5267162
If you can't decide whether or not you have enough money to buy something, it means that you don't have enough money to buy it.

I want to bricklink this one for my Harvest MOC.
Got myself this little guy, yes, it is expansive but it is really worth the price.
With that, is there any news on selling the fast/super pack separately from the new VF-1S?
>tfw you missed out on pre-orders and will never ever get it for a decent price
feels bad, man.
>>5266914
I'm with you. I wish I had gotten in on these early too.
>>5266914
Get the upcoming DX Chougoukin instead.
How did you overcome Gurren Lagann's thunder thighs? Any poses that he actually looks good in?
I overcame if by not getting it because those thighs and massive fucking knees were retarded.
Easy answer.
I got the Riobot instead.
>>5266848
Riobot looks nice, but it's all plastic and feels cheap. Face is also fucked up.
Hmm... I guess I can pop my unboxing cherry.
You've never opened a box before, anon?
I can't imagine what birthdays were like for you, was it just cards and wrapped clothes?
>>5266557
Well all know that steak knifes are the only way to open boxes.
>>5266563
Goddamn son just spend the $1 on a box cutter
Let's get a selfie thread going. Show us your toys enjoying everyone's favourite guilty pleasure; taking selfies.
I want to exchange this for other characters, I'm from Mexico "MARVEL HANFUL OF HEROES"
There's little to no demand at all for Handful of Heroes figures. Good luck though.
>>5265734
Where in Mexico?
>>5265734
Damn, I already hocked all my doubles at the local comic shop.
Anyone ever feel bad about selling your toys.
I'm talking about toys that meant something to you that you held onto for years but decide to sell it because you have no room.
I'm selling a bunch of anime dolls/toys/plushes that meant something to me in the past but they've just been collecting dust. I figured it's better to give to another home but it hurts a little bit to let them go.
>>5265478
yep
>>5265478
You know what hurts even more? When the toy you sold turned out to be rarer than you thought and other sellers have sold the toy for triple the price you got for yours.
I'd that was the case, I would've just held onto it if it was that rare.
Now they are just going to collect dust somewhere else.
Anbody else takes toys with them? I like having them close to me even if i cant do much with them at work etc
I too carry around a psp case full of figs
I did until I was around 12. It was like a security blanket sort of thing, I had to have a toy with me when I went anywhere.
But around 12 I decided I was too old for that shit so I stopped.
>>5265443
I keep a few at my work desk and I very rarely take something with me when I travel, though often because I just got it and I am going to be bored in an empty hotel room anyway.
I am horrible about making impulse purchases when bored on travel.
Why don't they just start making a spin-off line of PAKs that are half the size and half the cost so that they scale with Figuarts/Figmas and shit and don't destroy wallets?
>>5265405
>half the size and half the cost
Pretty sure it doesn't work that way.
>>5265405
i dont even know why they started "kai". PA Classic wasnt broke, and therefore needed no fixing
>>5265405
or just let other companies use the licenses that pak has
Old thread is dying.
We continue here.
G2 is stupid as fuck.
Cant wait to get these, need more to to with WOC Bruticus and the rest of my G2 shelf
I've stumbled in to a gift card worth quite a bit. Its good on Amazon.
I'm getting leader Magnus and battle core prime.
Any other recommendations?
I was looking at maybe Chromia as well.
Is devastator worth it? I have no fondness for the constructions, but no harm in owning a giant Combiner.
Should I snag? I mean $15 to try potential gold or shit
>>5264575
the question is, do you want a giant mecha for your lego style figures?
Yes, they're fun to play with and are very poseable.
They're a must if you're into 1:18 figures, since they're like half an inch shorter than what they would be in 1:18 scale. A 4" figure will fit in the cockpit, as long as you don't insert the chair.
Everyone loves 1:18 mecha.
>>5264584
>Dat Tachikoma
>Dat Invid Trooper
Nice.
Also OP if they are $15 that's an awesome price. Now I want to pick one of each up for my Bloks.
The mini figs and mini fig weapons look pretty sweet too.
