  1. I assumed that this would be the case from the pricing. The special pods are significantly cheaper.
  2. Many years ago, I asked someone at Sentinel about her. They said that they wanted to find a way to make her. They said she was in the same category with the red and green Treads, they knew a few diehards would love them but that they probably wouldn't sell well enough for a full retail release. They were pondering if they could figure out some sort of an 'exclusive' release... like sell them at WF. Again, this was eons ago so it means nothing today except that the desire was there.
  3. Here's how that came about: 1) Start doing review of VF-171EX toys. Pull all of them and their armor parts out of storage 2) Remember that the missiles from the armor parts fit on YF-30 toys so I pull that out too 3) Test to see if the missiles work on VF-1 toys. Then start using VF-1 missiles on other toys. 4) Get a bunch of pictures of the YF-30 with some other missiles and go to add them to my YF-30 review and realize that it's not up to the standard of my more recent reviews 5) Update the YF-30 review with lots of new content and, seeing as it only had a transformation guide in one direction, make one of those also 6) Finally put the YF-30 toy away and turn my attention back to the VF-171 i was SUPPOSED to be reviewing all along. Shorter answer: It's new!
  4. Bump so people can discuss the upcoming fugo God of Flame
  5. I think this thing is looking better than I expected.
  6. Better than putting tabs on the backpack though.
  7. Yep, they always had a hard time believing it would sell enough units to be worthwhile... seems they're still struggling with that. Once we started seeing new prototype pics I thought they were finally over that hurdle but I guess not. I ordered the newest ride armor but I'm not shipping mine until the 0A Hi-Metal R hits shelves.
  8. As producer guy would say: Wow wow wow... wow

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    If anyone else goes, I could use that tiny session metallic exclusive!
  10. Can they get the Rock to play the Boulder? My kids loved it so I loved it, in for two more seasons.
  11. I saw it today too. I agree that if you liked the first one, you'll probably like this one. I'm not a huge Dune fan but my wife and her entire family LOVE it. I read the first three books and then I had to give up. Dune for me is "miserable people behaving miserably." I don't need happy books, I loved Consider Phlebas, but Dune crushes itself under its own mass. So getting back to this movie: One thing I really hate is the depiction of the Harkonnens. They are cartoon bad guys, so over-the-top they are unbelievable. Then they're rendered in black&white to try to invoke WW2 nazi propaghanda. Houses at war with each other can consider each other evil and treacherous, and the actions of the Harkonnens largely do that, so why do we need all the ultimately silly ultra evil moments? I'd say it's a decent 7/10. Visually splending, paced decently, and I don't know how you make a better Dune movie than these two stitched together. That said, any 'movie' that takes nearly 6 hours to tell shouldn't be a movie in this day and age, it should be a mini series on a streaming network. I haven't seen the original Dune mini series but I've heard great things and would think that's the way to go again.
  12. Ooh, I just completed my first 3d print today so the timing is great.
  13. Here's the thing, doing Macross the First doesn't make much sense. It easily leads to this line of thought: "Hey, we're revisiting the era, let's finally get clear of these licensing problems". We might get new/unrecognizable characters and mecha. Hikaru is a girl, Minmay is a boy, Max and Hayao are twins, Gloval is gay, Misa is in a wheelchair, Roy is black, Claudia is hispanic, and of course they all have different names, slightly different backgrounds, and slightly different wrinkles to their stories. The SDF-1 is now the UNSS-1 and it's purple and still looks like a Meltrandi ship from DYRL with minor tweaks. The VF-1 is now the F-99 and looks like the VF-0 had a baby with an F-22. Add some dialog about spiritia at some point. Now, that could still work out to be an awesome show but it's gonna be a real punch to the gut for anyone that was in the "Just do the show over and make it look pretty!" camp.
