    Four episodes into the new season of King of the Hill and I gotta say, it's absolutely peak. I'd put this season up there with the best seasons, oh which most are, King of the Hill was always great, but for a long time coming revival this season is excellent. We're in the age of legacy sequels and revivals, some are great, some not so much, this new season of King of the Hill has gotta be one of the best revivals in TV history, not a beat has been skipped, it's firing on all cylinders right from the beginning. It's like slipping into a comfy old pair of shoes, everything is just right, nothing amiss, just absolutely peak King of the Hill, it's good to have the King back, I've really missed this series.

    I saw the leaked image of the box for the Icons Black Pearl and yup, I'm gonna need that, it looks phenomenal.

    Yep, I made a similar remark in my original response to the episode. They managed to work in a nod to TAS and do a holodeck episode in a way that not only doesn't contradict any prior series continuity but also provides an explanation for a remark made way back in season one of Voyager about holodecks having dedicated power systems incompatible with the rest of the ship. If only Star Trek: Discovery had showed half as much attention to detail, it might've been a vastly different and far better show.

    Anyone seen mew pictures of this? Any news?

    Almost there. hands, speaker gunpod and shield not done yet. all of a sudden, one runner after another fell. Kinda like, you reached the peak and then rolling downhill at incredible speed. I‘ll handpaint the white and yellow stripes on the head. It definitely is not an easy build, but my experience with robots/mech kits is… low. A few gundams, the plamax vf-1 and this one here. It looks really nice though. can recommend

    That's kind of the funny thing though, they're already way past that point in some cases. For the most part, I think the prices still tend to float around 10 cents per piece on average (lots of exceptions in both directions, depending on the size of the parts included), but they keep pushing out bigger and bigger sets. At the end of the day, I'm ok with spending more if I'm still getting what feels like my money's worth in parts. I think this might be pushing that envelope a little, but it's also just a set I really want to build to see how they made it (and how difficult it will be to convert it into a Nebula ).

    Can you heat the hands with a blow dryer to get them soft enough to grip the weapons and then ice bath to hold the new pose? that was the trick for a lot of toys, but I’ve never opened one of the reactions

    Wave 1/72 vf-171

    Big s replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    For me, it was a few of the wave Votoms kits and they have a bunch of little runners instead of the bigger ones like Bandai and I would check out the contents, but I could never get the boxes back together without a bulge at the top

    Lego will continue to push the prices up till they hit that cieling where people drastically cut back on their product.

    Well, now it is 3 horrible episodes in a row. Can the writers not steal from other Trek. Get a new idea. Can they make 4. I liked season 1 and 2. Season 3 i such a let down.

    Side comment. I gotta give props to the writer of this episode for doing their homework. The whole holodeck needing its own power supply came from Voyager and later, Picard. Physical characteristics based of the transporter's pattern buffer came from DS9 when they had to store the patterns in a large enough storage space (namely the holosuite). The duotronic computer systems of the 23rd century likely made independent holodeck servers infeasible but the latter 24th century isolinear systems made it feasible.

    As a Joe fan I look forward to seeing/hearing what you think of these!

    I picked up the Reaction+ Jinx, Falcon, and Cobra La Royal Guard. Jinx and Falcon are kinda rad but the Royal Guard definitely can NOT hold his weapon without breaking his entire hand. No idea what they were thinking with the completely different size hand holes. Falcon's hands are too open to hold Jinx's weapons so they just fall out. Jinx can't hold Falcon's gun, and her hand grip is so tight she can barely hold her own weapons. Seems pretty bad when a figure can't hold his own weapons, and figures in the same series can't hold each other's. Also I wish the Royal Guard had a little more texture because he's kind of boring. The original has little details all over.

    I have that tightly packed issue with a lot of Kotobukiya (Armored Core) kits. Some Bandai kits too for that matter.

    Review spoiler: I was very let down by the knees and feet in soldier mode, and a little let down by the hips... But only because the hips don't allow a huge amount of leg flare in combined diver mode. Otherwise, I like it.

    Disclamer: That these selected pics are not mine as I didn't pre-order one Pics of the Revival 27y has been posted in another Macross thread. Credits to the respected owner who is very possible on this Macross site as well.

    Got my TREAD yesterday. It really is fantastic, except for two bits which have already been mentioned: the missile bays doors don't open far enough, and the head articulation is just bizarre. The head is on a ball joint, it's just... pointing the wrong way. I don't really understand the reasoning there. But overall this TREAD easily takes the top spot.

    I think the following sums it up, personally:

    I wouldn't want to even guess what the interest on that would be...

    It's not just you, BM's prices are generally expensive for me too. I only buy a set from them if it's an aircraft I truly desire in Lego form. From previous postings of BM's owner, the bulk of the cost comes from manufacturer lincensing costs and custom printing prices. This new Atom brick line is a little better on the wallet. If a F-14 kit is made for it, I might bite.

    Wave 1/72 vf-171

    Big s replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    Wave isn’t the best at judging box sizes. Sometimes there too much room and other times everything barely fits unless you repack everything exactly the way they were originally packaged after inspection

    You're right. I was being a little hot headed. I am honestly fine with people liking things uncritically. I was more talking about people who are militantly uncritical, and will not only write lengthy defenses of toys and their manufactures, but mount attacks on those who are critical, essentially acting as opinion police. I've seen them over and over on pretty much every fan website I've been on, including MacrossWorld (in the old days, but thankfully not recently). I've been on the receiving end of their ire enough times that I reflexively think of those kind of people as "uncritical" fans. Which is probably not fair to the average person who just likes toys without picking them apart they way we might.

    I'm thinking within the same lines, Predaking's head height looks to be about 25 cm, so to me he is a match to go up against my Riobot Dancouga.
