  1. Past hour
  2. Glad to help! The combined unit takes both to the next level.
  3. I hope they adjust the proportions just a bit so the head can sit a little higher and the boosters are dimensionally correct like this. Excited for this one.
  4. That turned out fantastic! Love it when the kiddos want to take part of the hobby. I still have a few unbuilt kits they wanted to build.
  5. Today
  6. I got Binaltech Laserwave to finish my Binaltech/Alternators collection (of two items, the other is Nemesis Prime). The RX-8 is nicely painted (and super heavy due to all the die cast; almost to a detriment). I especially like how the transformation changes the seats and floor of the car to the, nicely tapered, lower torso. Of course on mine the hood pops up constantly during transformation. The fact that is made out of die-cast doesn’t help with that because it is so heavy. There are some outdated solutions on the figures like not having a thigh swivel - which I hate because you cannot achieve natural looking poses - but overall I’m quite happy. It is so nice to have something that is not G1 Shockwave. I’m super excited for the Shockwhale and the Kuro Kara Kuri SG Longarm that was revealed this week. Funny how Shockwave is a Jazz/Meister retool quite often now.
  7. Their idea of trying to kitbash a Destroid with a VF-1 was likely ripped-off from R-Area.... However, the original attempts first appeared during SDFM-era publications....the concept was then brought back decades later in Macross The First.... It's too bad that its first attempt as an actual toy is turning out a complete eyesore....
  8. 😍 oh yes!
  9. I'm probably on Earth with my eye set on the New Macross class colony ships set to launch in 2030.
  10. Many thanks to @jenius and his extraordinary generosity, I have the complete set now. What a model!
  11. I’m hoping they model the neck & ejection seat similar to the 1D, as per the episode, plus maybe a pilot figure in SDFM space kit (enclosed helmet).
  12. I had a feeling this would be coming soon, but not this soon. I’ll definitely get this. Can’t wait for more pics
  13. Armoured Valk next!
  14. Outback would be rather very much on the list of want since he's had some season 3 episodes. Wheelie though, he looks different. Maybe it's the neon colors throwing me off, but he doesn't even look like the Legacy mold. But I think unless I can view him in person I'll probably pass. I'm still really happy with my Titans Return variant.
  15. As much as I don't like Wheelie, I kinda like that Wheelie. I'm definitely in for Outback, been expecting him since they did Brawn. Still waiting on Swerve...
  16. I think everyone is reading too much into the preorders with an old mindset. Everything from revivals like 25G, Tornado, 31J, 262Hs, 171EX, 25S armored and 27, have all been selling out very slow. Some of them are still in stock. Even the PO for the Fire Valkyrie is still in stock at a few places. PO madness is simply no longer much of a phenomenon for these toys. The only exception to this was probably the YF-19. While the 21's sales were hampered despite being new and having demand... It seems like it's just the current trend with DX Valks. It may just be the result of the overall known issues of recent bandai action figures in general, including metal builds, and the economy, and bandai overproducing as they embrace global releasing valks after the legal issues of the macross IP cleared up Even if they had perfected the sculpt for this release, my guess is that it would just sell out at a similar same pace. There's no way this thing could sell out faster than the 19Kai
  17. Mark H. replied a comment saying the shoulder fins don't come off. And another one saying the leg missile hatch doesn't open even though it seems like it should.
  18. May I Ask For One Final Thing? So... this one is another fine installment in that curiously specific genre of "a noblewoman who was engaged to the self-absorbed second prince until he decided to take up with a girl of lower social status and use malicious rumors and false accusations to ruin his fiancée's reputation and call off the engagement takes her revenge." It is WEIRD how often that one comes up. You wouldn't think such an incredibly specific premise would be very common, but this is like the sixth or seventh one I've watched with that exact formula in the last two years. This one's got moxie though. Instead of running away in tears until she's rescued by a better love interest or rejoicing and gladly running off to live her life as a free woman, Scarlet El Vandimion is having none of that "the best revenge is living well" nonsense and decides to get MAD. Three minutes and thirty seconds in and I am SOLD. This series did a better job making its protagonist relatable in three minutes than most shows do in three episodes. I am not only all in, at the end of the first episode I'm ready to declare Scarlet El Vandimion Fall 2025's Best Girl. 11/10. Wife material. Rollicking good fun and my top contender for this season's best show. I was so enthused I started the second episode straightaway...
  19. tbh, the Tomahawk armor makes it better. Not good, but better.
  20. “Oh honey, I’m home!” *Photos are sort of lacking and may try and get updated ones tomorrow with natural light You can sort of see the blue shimmer on the back. It’s hard to capture, but best seen in natural light. Next up by request from my kiddo, we have the L-Gaim 1/144 Ashura Temple

  22. Garbage x1000.
