Alternity Convoy--anyone buying this?
I'm not but that's because I generally don't buy import stuff, but on top of that it just doesn't interest me. The whole "LICENSED CAR!!" gimmick doesn't hold any enthusiasm for me most of the time because I think most new cars look like shit, and I really didn't like the Alts in general.

Is it the same as Alt. Prime/Kiss Players Convoy that was out a few years ago?

Meh, I'd get the Kiss Players version, if anything. I find that Marissa figure adorabibble.
Ah, from a purely collector-based viewpoint, of course.
O6, got pics of this thing? I'm curious.

Re: Alternity Convoy--anyone buying this?
Nah, this is nothing to do with previous releases. It's a new mould, licensed Nissan GTR, roughly Deluxe with die-cast and automorph. Great in theory - combines the best parts of Binaltech with a much more fluid transformation design, and a smaller size for ease of display and so forth. Only it's the same price Binaltech was anyway, sigh.
Anyway, it looks surprisingly spiffy in colour: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transform ... onvoy.html
There'll be the token Convoy flavoured version released simultaneously with the silver one, but given it looks nothing like Convoy 'anyway', I may be tempted by the silver. Hmm.

The head's kinda Primesh, but I'll wait till I see the mold in Prime colors before I decide.

Oh, that mold's so pretty...
I dunno, the price seems a little high, but being as it's the silvery one I'm interested in, that might be lower.

I've already Pre-ordered it at BBTS. I was sad to see alternators die so to see a revival (of sorts) is great.

Re: Alternity Convoy--anyone buying this?
I'm on the fence, I really want this one because I love the new GT-R and the fig looks great, but $50 for a deluxe-sized figure? That's a tough sell for me. Also, the lazy way the windshield and hood are used in bot mode bothers me. But if I find it for $40, there's every chance I'm buying it.
See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?

Yeah, I'm out.
The thing's still pretty though.

Re: Alternity Convoy--anyone buying this?
I'd be more tempted if it was in scale with Alternators. But yeah, it's pretty expensive for what we get.
