Just ordered myself a Sir Laser Lot and a set of the flight stands.

DHeezy81 · 08-15-2012, 09:13 AM

Had to pass on SLL. However, I did snag the Palace Guards, Carnivus, & Bow.

The making of video (previously posted) shows canon studios was on the verge of collapse and mattel insisted that He-man can't severely hurt or kill anyone. So the stormtroopers were generic robot guards, that old Dolph could mess up. If they had painted them grey and put a bat on the chest, it would have made it a bit easier to stomach. If you watch the film again, it looks more like a new gods comic. Which the director later confirmed as he wanted to hire Jack Kirby as a production designer. But the studio said no

Pretty rough Matty month. I don't think I've ever been less interested in a Matty Day since I've been collecting MOTUC.

Although, I was forced again to buy a Voltron Lion. I bought the sub last year and remember how much I regret it every other month when I'm billed for one of these bricks.

Tiberius · 08-15-2012, 09:43 AM

They that bad?

Optimus Vader · 08-15-2012, 09:49 AM

I don't know. There really isn't much to them. It's almost like they just took the original playset version and make it even bigger. They are huge so I'm sure it'll look pretty impressive when Voltron is complete, but I don't know,.. I guess I was just expecting a little more.

Cool to have, but not for the total price of this guy.

Tiberius · 08-15-2012, 09:53 AM

Just another reason I couldn't sub to any of the lines.

BAD MOON · 08-15-2012, 10:30 AM

Just picked up Sir Laser Lot! Pretty stoked.

DHeezy81 · 08-15-2012, 12:38 PM

Anybody going to PowerCon?

Dark Hayabusa · 08-17-2012, 10:47 AM

Bit of a heads up to British collectors. I'm picking up my battlecat tomorrow morning from the postal depot. To pay the £11.81 import tax. So bare that in mind when comparing ebay prices with matty collector

BAD MOON · 08-21-2012, 07:49 AM

Just got my Sir Laser Lot in the mail and damn he looks cool in person! Thought I'd share a few pics.

Looks great! Can't wait until mine arrives.

Optimus Vader · 08-23-2012, 10:54 AM

Nice pictures, Bad Moon. The lighting looks good on Laser Lot.

I'm actually not in that deep with Matty's upcoming roster... Mekaneck & Rattlor are no-brainers, possibly a Dragon Blaster Skeletor, and I have the Voltron sub so there's the Black Lion, but that's it for me.

DHeezy81 · 08-23-2012, 11:37 AM

Carnivus & Bow both look awesome!

Next two months are def going to be rough! Aside from each of the new releases, I always end up grabbing a few re-issues of ones I'm still missing. Mattel you bastards! Damn you for owning my Discover Card.

DHeezy81 · 08-27-2012, 04:03 PM

9/17 sale announced. I don't see any new re-issues this month, which is a good thing since. I'll be snagging Mek, Skeletor and the Snake Men..

ludovicotek · 08-29-2012, 08:11 AM

^ I'm glad that they're finally re-issuing Zodak and the Weapons Rack. I need both of those. Also, looks like the Wind Raider is joining the Essentials shop, so people will be able to pick them up until they are gone. I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have one. If you're on the fence, trust me. Buy one. You will not regret it.

DHeezy81 · 08-29-2012, 09:42 AM

I hope it really is Zodak and not Zodac.

Agreed on the Wind Raider, it's bad ass!

I actually wish it was Zodac because I still need him too and want him a lot more.

DHeezy81 · 08-29-2012, 10:31 AM

Zodak looks sweet tho. Scroll up and check out that link i posted of customs, he has a whole bunch of awesome shit and a ton of "zadaks" with dope paint schemes and alt heads.

Actually here's the link..

ludovicotek · 08-29-2012, 11:28 AM

^ Great stuff. Makes me want to start army building but these figures are too damn expensive for that.

Tiberius · 08-29-2012, 11:29 AM

September is going to be expensive. Stoked on starting my Snake Man army =3.
