  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Forgive me, but this doesn't quite make sense in context if you think about it. After all, the characters who know Yavin is the location of the Rebel Alliance's main base are all either: Alliance soldiers who are stationed on Yavin IV, and whose comings and goings are carefully policed by the Alliance's commanders. (e.g. Cassian, Melshi, K-2SO, Vel.) Rebel senators who are the Alliance's political leaders as well as its financial and logistical backers. (e.g. Mon Mothma, Bail Organa.) Luthen Rael and Kleya Marki, rebel organizers and spymasters who built the pre-Alliance rebel network from the ground up and without whom Yavin's base would not exist. O.G. rebel Saw Gerrera, leader of the first and most extreme anti-Imperial resistance and GFFA Not Getting Caught champion (20 BBY - 0 BBY) who only really uses that knowledge to periodically call Mon Mothma up and tell her she ain't sh*t. It might seem like "everyone knows", but that's only because everyone who's not an Imperial on the main cast is a highly placed rebel organizer or operative. Cassian, Bix, and Wilmon are basically Luthen's three best agents, K-2SO and Melshi are rebel soldiers at Yavin base in Cassian's unit, Kleya is Luthen's right hand man, and Mon Mothma and Bail Organa are the ones literally paying for it. The only folks who aren't part of that tight circle who ever hear about Yavin are the Maya Pei brigade, who end up there before the base was founded and get eaten by the local fauna, and Lonni who is shot dead within a few minutes of hearing the word for the first time before he can even get out of his seat. That's just truth in television.😆
  4. Yesterday
  5. Finally finished watching Andor it is holds up well. The only problem I really had with it is that everyone and their uncle knew that Yavin was the location of the rebel base, for the Empire not to have found out is beyond belief. Things others have brought up too (like the woeful security at the Senate) were more momentary so easier to ignore. It is Hollywood though so not a deal breaker on an otherwise well written show, nuanced characters being very hard to come by in Star Wars.
  6. I’m a total noob on things Gundam but this is looking great! Got to work on the IMAI 1/100 scale Glaug “iron type” Going for a complete build instead of separating out parts based on colors. I’m also going to brush paint most if not all of it in its classic scheme. I never have done that before and think it’s a great opportunity for me to try. I was inspired by the hand painted Hasegawa version I saw on HJweb. Should be fun if not a complete failure. Lol 😂
  7. Probably the first time I have had zero interest in any item tied to a Macross event....would have tried to grab a D+ Macross Poster if it had been made available
  8. Hlj had them, but are currently back ordered. and Hobby search still shows in stock. I don’t think any North American places had them though. They’ve been waffling on wether to carry Macross stuff from the og series and the DYRL movie, and I didn’t notice any that listed these
  9. Caught the second episode of Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter... and oof, don't fail to miss it. It's developing exactly as I expected, as a low-effort lolicon harem series. Lord of Mysteries is also eminently skippable, as it turns out. The first new episode of My Dress-Up Darling dropped today, so that's some good news at least. Hm? You mean besides Legend of Crystania, Magical Warrior Louie (localized as Louie the Rune Soldier), and Record of Lodoss War: Next Generation? NGL, I actually rather like Louie for how incredibly irreverent it is as a fantasy series.
  10. I asked my friend but he said the standees were sold out within minutes. Gosh I hope it didn’t go to scalpers only. I wanted the set!!!
  11. Pretty happy with how quickly I got the base kit together! I think I can re-break down and process the parts individually. Focus now on blending the individual kit' styles together. MS Mixing recipie: Robot Damashi torso/arms/binders Studio Reckless head/shoulder/skirts HGUC backpack/verniers RG Gp01 legs and feet The base is Bandai's 'new' 1/100 kit base. To adapt to the damashii connection point I simply used on the the included hex/allen bit tools and glued the head to the bases's arm. I really like these cheap action bases. They look really clean and I see tons of used outside of Bandai. Should easily support a 1/72 valk and not too pricey either!
  12. What retailers in North America are carrying Milla? Only place I can find is even is AmiAmi japan. All the usual places I get Hase kits seemed to skip over the resin.
  13. Yeah I have 3 of the 1/72 I think. If I remember right, the 1/72 has 4 version options. For sure, will want to do 1 of each scale as a non-super. The tail markings are very cool on these. Not sure what to do with the leftover super parts though.
  14. That’s definitely a good point! I think I have three of them now, along with 5 or 6 of the 1/72 version. I’d like to do one 1/48 model as in non-Super configuration at some point.
  15. Great news about the Kairos! Def want to get that one!
  16. Kewl!! Also, very close to the kitbash from Zapped!
  17. I can’t tell which way it’s going
  18. If you're gaming at 1080p you can also look at used cards as an alternative to 5060 Ti 16Gb that are going for over $450 which is stupid high imo. Recommend checking reviews online and searching Youtube for FPS tests on games you're interested in playing to see what can actually fit your needs.
  19. Oh wow! A Star Wars Enterprise!
  20. *wonders when the next sequel to Record of Lodoss War will be butchered made*
  21. I got The Art of the Transformers book from Japan. It contains everything I wanted with the exception of the Darkwing and Dreadwind box art and any of the Euro G1 exclusives but why would it since it is focused on the Japanese releases. It is a bit sad that not every Transformer got a whole page for itself (some of the combiner teams fill half a page for 5 pieces of artwork), so if you are a fan of those you miss out. Love the Overlord artwork (and all the Powermasters). I really want a G1 vintage MiB Powermaster collection l, since those were the toys on shelves when I was a kid (those and Euro G1). I wonder if Legacy: The Art of Transformers Packaging contains the art for the Euro G1 toys (Predators and Turbomasters).
  22. Macross Takarazuka Family Land flyer. Bidders thought it was a poster. It wasn't a poster.
  23. They really should have found a way to inset the leg robots further into the frame but doing so might interfere with the knee joint. Or they probably starred by reusing the Menasor frame and couldn’t make it work in the allotted budget.
  24. I think that the 4k disc most likely will have the documentary.
