That helmet is actually pretty massive, adult-size for sure. And it's awesome.Quote:

Man, that sucks, Nagis....I hope that maybe someone you know was trying to help you out and gets it too you soon. :(Quote:

Thanks for the concern FX. Unfortunatly i dont know a single person in my building. so someone stole it basically.
As for those pics you posted. That Starscream looks beautifull and that Devastator looks amazing.
I think im one of the few people that actually like the Transformers Movie designs. I still think if they used the Gen1 designs it would look horrible in live action.

If they dropped it off without someone signing for it without your permission, then it's on UPS. It's good that you emailed but you should try to call Monday morning.
Yeah call JB.
And FX. Holy shit to the news and to that pic!
I've gotten four of the new movie toys. On the whole, I'm pretty impressed. They're better toys than pretty much all recent lines (save Alternators, of course). Here're my individual rulings:
Barricade

Great looking car, unique transformation and the robot mode is mostly great. The hands are a bit weak, but I dig the bug-like stylings. Worst thing about the toy is that in car mode the rear of the vehicle doesn't fit together flush. Same thing is apparent in these photos of the toy from BWTF.com.
Brawl

This toy reminds me a lot of the Ultimate Battle Megatron I talked about before. Similarly, this tank requires very careful positioning of parts to make the vehicle feel solid--it's otherwise pretty loose feeling. The transformation is pretty good, and the robot mode looks excellent. There's even a bit of "automorphing" in the toy--you move one part and a section of the toy transforms itself. Biggest complaint with this toy is how the arms lock into place in robot mode. There are dowel-like pieces that push into the torso, but they're not terribly secure. At first they were really loose, but I pushed them in harder and they got a snugger hold. They'll still come loose if you try moving the stiff arms.
Speed Dial 800

I didn't expect this to be a great toy--bought it mostly for the novelty. It's a simple transformation, but the figure has surprisingly good posability. I wish the swivel joint that connects the two halves of the cell phone design was tighter--it spins too losely, which sorta ruins its cell phone mode when the phone is flipped open. Still, it's kinda clever, novel for certain, and best of all it was cheap.
Optimus Prime

Alright, so he's got flames. I hate them, but I love this toy. This is probably the best Prime that's not an Alternator. Very good transformation, great robot, nice vehicle mode, individually articulated fingers, clever feet design--all around, I'm a big fan. He makes noises, which are lame. He has an automorph feature that's more automated than the automorph in Brawl. It's not as clever as the one in Brawl, and it's accompanied by the lame noises. I can live with it.
Target today had loads of these toys and they were all on sale. If you're interested, I suggest stopping by.
Good Reviews. The first one im getting is Leader Class Prime. I knew i was getting that first before anything. it sucks cus my target only has 2 Leader Class Prime left. I hope we have more by friday. We had like 5 Megatrons and they are GONE! Along with most of the Voyager classs stuff. Its selling rather nicely.
When i was browsing the section a guy walked up with his girl and stopped at the Prime display. his girl had to literally PRY him away from it. I cant wait to get these home.
As for my Revoltech Prime. The shipper made it so noone had to sign for it upon delivery. I dont think im gonna go back to bigbadtoystore after this. I still havn't gotton my Prime back.

Speed Dial 800? Really? That looks like a cheap knockoff.
Oh shit... I have to go to Target tonight. I hope I am able to exercise some self-control.
