    I think Boyega is strong enough to do a show, but his character was weakened a bit too much. Although I guess that since he didn’t end up with lil miss Skywalker that they could try and do something a bit more detached with him and Rose. But that involves using one of the more hated characters. Personally, I think they should just move ahead without using any established characters in a new adventure that doesn’t rely so much on cameos, but gets the narrative moving beyond the Rey era. Basically just leave the past in the past and give us a new beginning

    Do you think there's any potential for Finn to get his own miniseries? I think there's some storytelling potential there, and the comedy could work in his favor, allowing for some lighthearted adventures (just keep the Jedi out of the story along with Dave Filoni!!). The one counterpoint I can think of though is that Boyega may not have the gravitas/ ability to carry a miniseries as a main character, and that Finn might not be persuasive/ interesting enough a character. Your thoughts?

    Going to be taking a look at May I Ask for One Final Thing? https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GW4HM7WQ5/may-i-ask-for-one-final-thing?srsltid=AfmBOorFGrSeWqs_grsG6MRShgOGdT340dPlESdqAv9RYyo07sEs9sRg Looks to be at least moderately interesting, although with the premise, I suspect it'll get stale pretty fast.

    The intra-Japan shipping is 100% dependent on the seller source. YJ is almost always buyer pays intra japan from the seller to the buyee warehouse. Mercari on the other hand, is the opposite. Almost all the products on there are intra-japan shipping included. Perhaps there is a smaller fee for placing your item on Mercari vs YJ, or they incentivize them in some other way, but that is the pattern I've seen over the years.

    If it were a Blazer VF-19S/F, then a strong maybe, but a Kai... hard pass.

    First look at Brawl's leg mode. I'm not loving it... I prefer the toy look in combined mode, so a tank with the front noticeably folded over and a silver foot. But it is sort of cartoon accurate, especially when you consider that Onslaught's frame will form the rest of the leg. Speaking of Onslaught... Prototype looking way better than Combiner Wars, eh? And they're going the Warbotron/Iron Factory route, Onslaught himself is forming the cab of the truck, the combiner bits are forming a trailer that can double as a gun emplacement. Sadly, it doesn't look like they're showing off the whole combined mode/frame. Looks to me like Bruticus' chest is folded into the the waist, with the backpack guns folded down over them, and Bruticus' thighs are folded backward. Then the flatbed portion of the trailer behind the guns is the back of Bruticus' leg and bottom of his feet, but the stuff under it with the rear wheels is his arms. And, last but not least (well, yeah, probably least for most of you) is the other Japan-themed Timelines back. Once again, since set 1 was Prime and Starscream, set two is Megatron and Bumblebee, as a boar and a flying squirrel, respecitively.

    As of this posting, it seems this DX Fire Valk is being heavily discounted to even lower than 22k-yen by 3rd-party sellers at amzn.jp, but only if you are a jp resident: As such and as of this posting time, amz-jp is selling it for 26.644y plus shipping-fees: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0F62BC2MB here's the breakdown if I wanted to import it... Around US$257 at current exchange-rate shipped. I'm still not pulling the trigger on this DX Kai even at that shipped pricing, tho...

    I still find it weird this is happening on a Sony console, but here we are:

    I’d be more interested if this were in a smaller scale. There’s a lot of close to six inch versions out there already
  14. Big s
    Yeah, I’ve said in the 1/18th thread that these are way overpriced for what you get. The wheel on the front of the bikes don’t even roll. They’re simple no detail add ons to a small low detail figure. I still think the figure should be ten and maybe as a bike and figure set something like twenty to twenty five. I think they look cool, but not at the asking price

    I thought you had to pay shipping from the seller to Buyee’s warehouse and then another shipping charge from Buyee to you, along with Buyee’s service fees. Shipping to the U.S. wouldn’t be so bad if DHL wasn’t the only option available on most of the site I shop from. Their processing fee on top of the tariff is overkill. I’ve seen the processing fee be double the actual tariff amount.

    And yet this is what they came up with. At that price. They're like a third of the way through the funding period, and they've got barely over 1000 of the 10,000 backers they need. I think it's way overpriced... if these were retail figures, it'd be, what, $20 a pop for 3.75" figures, and say $40 per lightcycle (a bit high, but prices I might be willing to pay, for Flynn, Tron, Sark, and the lightcycles, but to heck with Yori and generic badguy program). That's only about $180. I definitely don't need a light-up base for $80 more. Again, I'd have rather they had an actual Tron toyline with stuff from all three films... they I might get Sam, Quora, Ares, Athena, and Eve, a Legacy and Ares Lightcycle, one of those jet things Athena was flying around in, and some Recognizers.

    Thing a thong! (pronounced as if one has a lisp when saying this)

    Watched it opening night in 3D. Yes I miss the OG actors and Legacy actors. Not a fan of what they did to them, but it was a watchable movie. I had the soundtrack a week before the movie came out.

    I could go resurrect a YJ thread from 2024 in the where to buy section or just post it here and be done..so quick and dirty. This will be my one and only 'where to buy' post to not pollute things too much https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/j1204987775 sign up for the buyee proxy, pull the trigger on a buy it now or use mercari (through buyee) there is even a 10% coupon right now https://buyee.jp/mercari/search?keyword=DX超合金 マクロス7 VF-19改&status=on_sale This one is $154 shipped to buyee with the 10% off, then you just need to get it shipped intl which is about $50, plus the awesome 15% tariff...sorry no getting around that if you are in the US

    Looking at these pics now, the DX is like the PF Arcadia Kai we never got.

    Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota is cute, but doesn't really seem to be going anywhere story-wise... which is a bit disappointing. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess feels like it's determined to take at least one shot at every overused otome character trope and plot device. It's a bit predictable in that regard, though it definitely lands (mostly) in affectionate parody territory.

    Where did you manage to get it that cheap? $215 is like a normal price.
  27. Mommar
    The 30% charge is not an upcharge, that is supposed to be based on country of manufacture, which is China, and that is 30%. It's just that other places are cool and marking it Japan instead. But the base price they're charging for DHL/FedEx, etc.. they absolutely are marking up now. I had an Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Mafex figure that was the first thing to ship once HLJ would ship to the use again and the base DHL price was the same as it always was for years (2300 yen), just with the 15% (for some reason on that item) and the small processing fee. The next week it was suddenly 4800 yen for the base price and when I asked about the change I was chewed out and they refused to respond afterward.

    I'm curious if they (Arcadia) are going to update the box art on the toys, it would be cool to see something newer to break it out from the prior releases.
