Guess it's okay if i start the party...If not then i apologize to the mods

Good way to start the month if you ask me!

Got this in today! Can't wait to open him up! I will be reviewing him on my blog site, The Hiveminded Reviews. http://thehivemindedreviews.wordpress.com/

I should have a very nice haul coming to me, they just need to get the items in stock and have them shipped to me...lol.

Also, the typo in the thread title is very very irritating to me.
*In WizarDriver voice* Fix. Please!

Got these over the last couple days:

How IS that G2 Bruticus? Recommended? I'm on the fence about it right now.

Not that great. Since its the cheapest way to get these molds I'd recommend that but don't stress too much if you miss it.

Bought Minipla Go-BusterOh plus FS-0O off of eBay and various Sentai themes off of iTunes.

Two boxes came in today!

The HLJ one was a day early... Fed Ex really is a great shipping option. This was only slightly(a few hundred yen) over the SAL price and it arrived in three days.

And here's a BBTS pile o'loot haul. I usually wait till there's a ton of stuff before shipping a POL but I really really wanted that Thundertron.

I impulsed like crazy on the new RAcaseal Eleanor figure from Bandai. It's pretty nifty, chocked with a TON of accessories including a DIY Bitz box which is in keeping with the PSO aesthetic. Not much gokin in it to justify the chogokin name in it. Stands roughly about a head taller than most standard Figuarts and rather poseable but none in her feminine hips.

The accessories alone (Stand, Wing Parts, Sword, Rifle, Bitz Box, loot pick ups, ammo pick up, that weird floating eye I don't ever remember seeing in the game, a speech bubble (!!!!), hands, stickers, a very detailed personal stand) make this well worth the premium. I kind of wish I held out for the more goth-loli black repaint but this is pretty cool by itself!

And I must say that's a pretty nice haul. ;) Wish I had Zeronos myself, but of course I cancelled that pre-order...

But how is Thundertron? I'm still interested in hunting down him, but of course need Dreadwing first... But now what he and Magnus are out, chances of finding DW are are even slimmer..

I'm totally getting the Shino black repaint when that comes out. Even though I already have the really nice Kotobukiya model kit.
Shino was one of the memorable characters in PSO for me. Not bad for some NPC who shows up for a single mission and then shuts herself down.

I'm also jealous of anyone who ordered Fruiticus from BBTS and are getting their figures already. I went with Amazon and no word from them yet if they've even received any figures.

Chance are it is as cheap and piss poor as all of the recently released Transformers. Plus, if I recall from the reviews I watched, he has a giant gap in his back.

I always find the Voyagers WAY after everyone else for whatever reason. Starscream finally showed up here a few weeks ago. Have yet to see Dreadwing. Frankly that's why I buy online, it saves me the headache (and gas money, and time) of checking stores that only get things late or not at all.

Thundertron is... really cool! I was a litle underwhelmed when I first opened it up but I fiddled with it and got it looking pretty snazzy. The way it was packaged, some bits were blocking some articulation and it took me a few minutes to figure out what to loosen. The shoulder pads were kind of locked behind the forearm armor at the elbow. Also it took me a second to realize the head movement was being impaired by some clear panels that could be folded out of the way.

The mechtech weapon is predictably lame but I dismantled it and took out the clear blade part and trimmed some gear teeth away from the handle part and it now fits perfectly in his forearm and looks great! You have to fold his hand down which leaves a gap and I stuck the "handle" into the gap. So now he has a cutlass arm!

The only real drawback I have so far(I haven't transformed it yet) is the head doesn't have a ton of movement(basically side to side, and looking down), and the wrists predictably don't have much either. He stands well even with the pegleg though.

All in all I really like it. Plastic quality is okay, could be better, Paint apps are good. Not quite a 10/10 figure but I'd give it a solid 8 so far.

Dammit! What did I screw up? I made a district effort to not botch the title and I did anyway.

a Mod took care of the typo

Not really a purchase, but a gift.

For a long time, he has eluded me. He’s been nowhere, and when I do find him, my need for Ranger Keys took over. I had seen him in a shop once, but due to my desire to complete my Core Medals at the time, I walked past him. Yet something happened today, I had received a package and there he was. Thanks to my buddy Kamen Rider Meteor, I have received- SHF Ankh, the stand set. But with a different base of course. Thanks again buddy!

D-Style Lavetein
Virtue's Last Reward 3DS
ZOE HD Collection

Oooo, where did you get that Nigo?

I was supposed to get in some Ranger Keys today, but it was sent from HK with registered mail and junk so they "left" a notice according to the tracking, but my mailbox contains nothing of the sort. Either way, I won't be able to do anything about it until Monday. Being quite disappointed, I wanted something new, so I went to a comic book store and got this for myself. They were having a sale. I went by on Halloween and passed on it, but I've obviously changed my mind.

Super jelly of Zeronos.

Finally got a decadriver. I tried using this http://applesanddango.files.wordpres...iver-cards.pdf to make more cards to make the belt say more. But i have not been having any luck. I think this worked with the original release of the driver. Anything you might know will be helpful.

It's not for me but i got the original ultraman series on dvd for my dad who grew up watching it.

You need to make sure the black bars are pure black. Any slight difference it won't pick it up.

When I did mine it had the same problem so I went over the bars with a black sharpie and they worked just fine.

what black bar? my decadriver has problems reading any cards

The little bar code on the side of the cards the scanner reads. Maybe it's a different problem, but that's the one I encountered.

oh that bar :lol
no then i guess its not that

Went to Nekocon, picked up Kuuga Ultimate.

Was going to get Gokai Silver, but someone snagged him first.

I also have a Mobirates and a clutch of Ranger Keys on the way.

I got these in today after waiting 2 weeks. They came without the boxes to cut shipping costs. Plus he allowed me to break up the Dekaranger set and get just green.
