Re: Metroplex conundrum

Just read the following review:

http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=7161

Tons of pics, comparing the Hasbro, SDCC & Takara versions

Things are looking more and more like I might go Takara for this one, I'm a sucker for added paint apps, also two guns

Downsides are, Takara is the only one that doesn't have black ramps (kind of like them), and the chrome face seems excessive? Maybe will be better in person

Judging by tfwiki, the only difference between SDCC & the Hong Kong one, is the stickers (metallic VS glossy) and the bonus minifigs (red/purple Autobot/Decepticons, VS gold/silver)

Re: Metroplex conundrum

You guys are such high rollers. New Hasbro Metroplex is going for $400 these days. Can't imagine how much the other versions will cost.

I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm setting a goal

And Siege has a few more duds for me than previous lines, so saving money on that front is a touch easier

Re: Metroplex conundrum

Scored an LG-EX Metroplex on Mandy for 15K yen

EMS shipping nearly doubled it, but wasn't comfy at thought of this big thing bouncing around SAL for a month (yes SAL was available as an option, to my surprise)

We'll see how it is when it arrives

Anyone have any experience with the DNA Design upgrades for Metro/FortMax? Wondering how the articulated fingers & ankle tilts are

Re: Metroplex conundrum

I think they are all very good, Metroplex is just awesome.

I purchased one from a fellow board member and it's still sitting in my storage locker 'cause I haven't made the real estate for it yet.

If you have the dollars, the ACG Hong Kong Exclusive version seems very cool. You only live once so why not aim for the most expensive one.

Whichever one you find that isn't 3 bazillion dollars first!

Re: Metroplex conundrum

I went cheap and bought one with broken hands and is missing guns for $50. Basically used Fort Max hands and loaded him up with a couple of sixguns' to compensate.


Finding DNA upgrade hands or the 3rd party gun for this guy (at a decent price) is impossible it seems. If someone has a source or the aforementioned for sale then message me.
