  1. Aren't you thinking of Kidslogic? I know they're into those expensive and totally unnecessary gimmicks. In, but not limited to, the US.
  2. If their yen stickers are mighty then I am Saitama.
  3. I wonder how many maxed out their orders. It allowed you to order up to 20, which I would have done had I gotten my 20 decent sized Gurabs for them to engage.
  4. I don't know why they take such an excrutiatingly long time to release Zentraedi stuff they tease. If you tease something it should be close to release to capitalise on the enthusiasm, not yahrens later after everyone is annoyed by your vapourware posts.
  5. Its his second piece for his Savage Worlds campaign. Here's the accompanying story byte from which we can easily identify the names of the characters: August 8th 2031; Northwest Wastes, Ghana Sector, Africa: Vitalli turned his Alpha sideways against the massive leg of the Mac II, blasting out rounds from his gunpod as an incoming shock trooper crested the hill. His burst pierced the things armored carapace, and green fluid splashed upward in a gooey spray. Below his feet, Suvage, in only his Desert Squad armor, downed a scout with his sniper rifle. The shot took the enemy in the sensor eye, and Prion, the Terminator, was attempting a less refined approach by hosing the ridge with his Tiresian carbine nearby. “What’s the status, Penelope?” Vitalli asked. The teen’s face appeared on one of his internal monitors, and she was smiling, even as sweat ran down her forehead. “Almost in position, and going for the lock now,” she replied. “Does Hatan have a laser targeting lock from the base?” the voice of Suvage broke into the line. “Roger that,” Sabine replied. “My micronian friends, this situation is very quickly becoming critical,” Illrum’s strange and modulated voice offered. Even as the clone pilot said this, a new flight of scouts blazed in over a dune, their annihilation discs raining down close to the red bioroid’s position next to the Mac II’s other leg. The former Robotech Master returned fire, his shots lighting the growing dark of early evening. I thought we’d have more time… “Lock in 10, 9, 8,” Fawn, their faux Muse and current Mac II officer, began the countdown. Somewhere beyond the gloomy horizon, the newly built Invid hive tower had to now be buzzing with activity, the brain scrambling more of the Regis’s children to confront the massive protoculture heat bloom that was the lumbering Mac II. Below that structure, human slaves had already been working the flower of life farms for months, the pollen from the alien plant slowly poisoning them. The meant Vitalli’s rebel cell was running out of time, and while he’d have given anything to save the huge destroid for a later attack, perhaps to help free the planet, the lives of the former Butler Base citizens wouldn’t last until Hunter’s return. More Invid shock troopers were cresting the hill to the west, and Vitalli opened the shoulder bay doors of his veritech, priming the missiles within. “6, 5, 4,” Fawn continued the count. “After you fire, get out of there!” Vitalli ordered. He said a prayer that Nhar, Hatan, Yeve, and the rest of the small strike team was already evacuating slaves from beneath the hive, because in about seven seconds it would be too late. Flipping the firing trigger, Vitalli initiated his attack, a handful of short range missiles rocketing away from his shoulders. Above him, the quadruple Viggers M-400 barrels let loose a salvo and the earth shook all around the area, some Invid spinning out of control that were too close to the unfettered blasts. Twenty miles away, hell was about to rain on the hive, but now wasn’t the time to celebrate. Vitalli still had to get his trio of pilots out of that monster, and then deploy their escape plan. With any luck, the Invid would remain focused on the Mac II as the rest of the party fled, and it would be too late for their enemy once they realized the destroid’s engine had been wired to be a massive bomb. So was the task of the freedom fighter. Attack and fade away, but at least it was something his team was getting very good at. I'm hoping there's more to come. Anyway its given me some ideas for my own piece. I think I might like to align the colour of my Tirolian energy blasts to look like what he has done here. Those annihilation discs already look like what I had in mind.
  6. Psst Cap, he has those Gosu that need finishing so we can stea...uh I mean admire the pics.😁 Are you still going to finish and mount them now that you have submitted your entry?
  7. Indeed, you figured correctly. That Zentraedi hangar is coming along nicely.😁
  8. "Officially" is often nonsense and should be ignored wherever appropriate. And thats not only applicable to Macross . In Star Wars an AT-AT is a officially a mere 15m tall, contradicting the much larger size indicated on screen by a rappelling Luke Skywalker. A small moon sized Deathstar has a hopelessly tiny garrison of 25 000 Stormtroopers. One of the reasons I laugh at people who are hidebound by cannon.
  9. Now they need to make Rogue Trooper and Venus Bluegenes. And also the ABC warriors (as they were in Kevin Walker's khronikles of Chaos and Hellbringer - not the pathetic live action version.)
  10. The Regult looks great. All SDFM Zentraedi mecha look great. Hasegawa should release all of them as snapfit kits As far as I am concerned a Zentraedi soldier and a Battroid should be eye to eye, and both should come up to the Regult's knee joint. I have to wonder if those sizing inconsistencies arent simply a result of them not wanting their beloved "hero mecha" to look as insignificant, in comparison to the Zentraedi mecha, as they logically should.
  11. These entries are fantastic.😃 @tekering awesome work as usual! (Now you need to complete your Queadluun-Rau to complement it.) @Boobytrap that diorama is stunning!
  12. 🎵"Cimmerians will run before our steel..."😮🎶 Nah, I can't see it.
  13. They need to tint that beak visor the proper blue. Its not the same if the visors aren't correct.
  14. Are such life size figures normally modular? Could you pop Sheryl and Ranka's heads and limbs off for ease of transportation and storage? Just thinking about the PT and logistics involved in moving larger statues around.😓
  15. Are those marks on the clawshields supposed to be dirt and grass strains from trying to pound cyclones, or scratches from rending large mecha?

    Hi-Metal R

    Are we actually getting something other than another bloody valkyrie? I want the tan Phallanx. If they do a set the Phallanx and Regult Scout would check 2 boxes for me.
  17. That's OK. One Regult is worth 10 Valkyries.
  18. And why not armoured Zentraedi soldiers? If snapfit works for Imperial Strormtroopers it can work for Zentraedi figs as well.🙂
