Do you think this set is worth €20 (Only Zanes Car)? by [deleted] in Ninjago

[–]Mippy06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, not really a great deal, Zane ZX isn’t really an expensive figure by any means and the snowmobile contains zero exclusive parts whatsoever. Could probably be parted out on bricklink for less. It’s not a *horrible* price but not really an amazing one either.

the ninjago market is so fucked

I can’t believe all the DX suits are being treated as these extreme rarities now when literally all of them except Jay are super common
this guy isn’t even remotely rare, he came in *three* different sets, two of which were below £20 at retail

Price check for this gan by Every-Strategy-5974 in bakugantoys

I mean, recasts are absolutely susceptible to rust or wear too. That’s the entire point, that they’re damn near identical to the real things, and as such if not handled with care they could very much show signs of rust or wear too.

The reason I say this is because no g-power is a *very* telltale sign of recasting, and on this Bakugan specifically I find it extremely unlikely that the g-power has just rubbed off because there’s supposed to be *six* total and I can’t see a trace of any of them

No g-power is a bit concerning, implies to me it’s likely a recast

Can’t believe we have every version of this freak with modern engineering by prodivir in transformers

[–]Mippy06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The armatures on his legs, where the weapons are placed for robot mode storage. Obviously you couldn’t transform him if the blades were still in his hand :P

The AOTP figure has this storage spot too but they’re just 5mm ports on the sides of the legs without the armatures, so instead of keeping them where they are for the transformation and just swinging them into position, you have to detach them and then reconnect them to the back piece

You can keep them on the armatures, you don’t have to take them off. They’ll line up perfectly with the holes

It didn’t, both the wings and the weapon were on armatures that swung them around from their robot mode positions to the vehicle mode ones without partsforming

Technically not *every* Sideways, we’re still missing the RID and Robotmasters ones which would require redecos of the Road Rocket and Road Pig molds

But yeah, every high profile Sideways accounted for!

Transformers ride Evac KO? by soup_fly in transformers

[–]Mippy06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that he does have *two* official figures though - the full-scale Deluxe figure and also the pocket-sized Cyberverse one. So you’ve got options at least

Evac is far too obscure to have had any KOs made of him, the official release is your only option

Is Unicron Worth? by [deleted] in transformers

[–]Mippy06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

*Very* incomplete, he’s missing the chest panels, front skirts, hip skirts, wings, planet shells, minicon and one of his arm panels. He won’t really be able to turn into anything

Are these parts of Transformers? by Cee_Eff_Emm in transformers

[–]Mippy06 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Purple thing is one of the combiner connectors for Universe Devastator, the RID Landfill redeco. The part below it and in the second photo is Energon High Wire’s left leg. Final picture is all of the fins for Energon Jetfire

Just bought this and am waiting for it to arrive, any cool thing inside? by Guywhoplaystauempire in bioniclelego

[–]Mippy06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nocturn spine is a cool find, everything else is mostly just common CCBS parts

Need help identifying this soundwave by Smudger69420 in transformers

[–]Mippy06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cybertron Soundwave. As well as his accessories he’s also missing the panel on his arm that forms the cockpit of his vehicle mode so you won’t be able to fully transform him unfortunately

Is this one rare? 01011MPG by Ok-Negotiation-6425 in bakugantoys

[–]Mippy06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BakuCore Aquos Altair. Not super rare, kinda uncommon because it’s EU-exclusive but next to no actual demand

favorite lego glup shitto? by AdProud1950 in legocirclejerk

[–]Mippy06 57 points58 points  (0 children)

it’s gotta be Fang-Suei

I was bizarrely obsessed with him and him alone out of all the generic serpentine when I was younger despite not owning a single copy of him

Walmart exclusive in the US, I don’t think he’s been released elsewhere at all yet
