    The War College being a post-Federation United Earth institution would have made more sense. No such luck, though. The series makes the War College out to be an alternate Academy that may have existed alongside Starfleet Academy as far back as the 28th century, that this is its first year active on Earth alongside Starfleet Academy, and that at least one Starfleet officer in the cast (Lura) graduated from the War College instead of the Academy. To each their own. I had kind of the opposite reaction, though didn't think either set of episodes was great. I do agree that one of the show's main weaknesses is its insistence on treating the freshman cadets like a particularly unruly grade school class instead of the fairly mature and highly professional young adults you'd expect to be attending one of the most exclusive educational institutions in the Federation. The vibe is less "fun shenanigans" as "standards must've slipped".

    Just got back from seeing this. It's a more straight forward, slightly less ambitious but also slightly less opaque film than its predecessor. It keeps up the consistently good quality the other two established. I hear the sequel has already been greenlit, which is fine in my book; I'll be looking forward to it.

    I read this post previously and decided not to ask. “In other news, I assume BBTS is just not coming through with my Tread. I dare not ask them about it, since they might be looking for any excuse to cancel my pre-order.” At this point I guess I’ll hit them up and see what they say.

    No, it won't. But thinking is a good thing; too bad the writers don't do enough of it.

    If the WRITERS would overthink things it would be better. WE can think all we want but it won't change anything till the writers do.

    I just assumed that the whole 'war college' thing is a left-over from when Earth was not part of the Federation, post Burn. In Disco, we saw that Earth had it's own defense force and I'm assuming it is still in existence, in-effect right beside Starfleet, and maybe fodder for future integration back into Starfleet as things progress. As to the show, the first episode was all right, but these last two were hokey nonsense! My gawd! That's not to say I have a problem with the plot, but just the decision to turn the Academy into basically a futuristic version of Animal House, and not done very well at that. Drop the attempts at comedy and get to the overall story! In fact, this would have been better if these cadets were third or fourth years, giving them more leeway to get away from the frat house um, the Academy. May give it another episode before deciding to abandon this one. Man, really wish they'd given us another season of Prodigy...

    At this point, I doubt they're coming through but have you asked?

    Hey All, I had never used BBTS before but the Tread and Legioss were my first purchases. I know that they're known for delays but is there still a chance that they'll deliver or should I just write it off and look elsewhere on the resell market. Thanks!

    My kid doesn't want the Happy Meal so I'll just buy the toys separately.

    Looks like some Hobby Town locations are doing a builders workshop and you get to build the basic rookie soldier kit from 30m Fantasy for free. Just got the email from hobby town this morning. Not sure if it’s every location or just certain ones

    Really enjoying these figures for the price. The only downside is the packaging puts stress on the joints on the figures by having them in a fixed pose. I still think the S.H. Figuarts figures are better for adding face plates for the figures and extra hands. The Dragon Stars range look good and pose well.

    This one is most likely not coming to US as a WWM release due to limitations on the original SDFM series and movie by Harmony Gold.

    Thank you, that does give me some idea, but I don't exactly equate ebay prices to prices people here might pay. Altho, since ebay prices are usually much higher, if subtracting 13% for ebay fees, 3% PP fees, etc, I think I'd rather just keep them if I can only expect to get $60 for them.

    You can always check sold auctions to gauge a price.

    What are HMR SDFM valks going for these days without OE packaging? Lightly played with and transformed with all pieces and accessories meticulously accounted for. These are almost always priced with original boxes claiming to be like new. I bought a loose one without the box and no accessories for $75 shipped once, but that was a few years ago.

    To paraphrase Newt, "Valkyrie Hunter D, he doesn't feel guilt b/c he's just a piece of plastic". Sorry, couldn't resist the Aliens reference.

    Yeah, the one we recently lost was the more active of the three and was always getting into things and hopping into the window sill to watch the birds in the morning and would always kinda get in the way while I would get ready for work. I miss her routine of silly chaos. But I still got the boys, even though they’re much more calm they’re still just as important and a reason to keep going. Haven’t thought yet about adding any more cats to the family yet. as far as that Rick Dom 2, I think it’s the rounder legs and head that I kinda like compared to the newer one. Just kinda thinking if I could somehow combine those elements of both kits and make an ultimate Dom 2 somehow. I think the head will be easy, but the legs might take some messing with.

    I will get this for the Hot Rod figure. To make him feel the guilt.

    They already got me buying Prime again with the Skybound version, and I'm told we can expect this battle-damaged retool to be repainted later in gray "sleep" mode. It's one thing for me to buy up a bunch of repainted Deluxes, but even I can justify buying every variant deco @ $60 a pop. (Please ignore the five versions of SS86 Grimlock...)
