  1. Past hour
  2. I can see Nvidia doing that. What do they gain from releasing the Supers at all. They pretty much own the market as it is.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    The Chuck with the orange supers are just amazing! Is it too late to give up hope that they will release them separately instead of a bundled box?
  4. There hasn't been any mention of direct contact with the Supervision Army in any official media AFAIK. Macross 7 depicts the New UN Forces encountering the Supervision Army's creators/leaders (the Protodeviln) and fighting a war against what is essentially Supervision Army v2.0, but nothing is said of the original Supervision Army forces still fighting the Zentradi across the galaxy. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish a Zentradi force from a Supervision Army one at a glance though. The Supervision Army wasn't a bespoke army created from the ground up to fight for the Protodeviln the way the Zentradi were developed to be the Protoculture's army. The Supervision Army got its start as an ad hoc force made up of anyone and everyone the Protodeviln could capture, drain of spiritia, and mind control into doing their bidding and in their initial rampage across the galaxy their forces grew mainly by the simple expedient of doing the same to everyone they captured and making use of existing ships, weapons, facilities, etc. from those they captured. Most of their forces would have been captured and mind controlled Zentradi, and that's probably even more true in the modern day 500,000 years later. Their forces likely consist almost exclusively (if not entirely exclusively) of Zentradi clones using equipment produced in captured factory satellites. Aside from ship classes and some equipment that may have been unique to certain regions and Protoculture emigrant governments, their forces probably look almost exactly like the Zentradi at a glance. Since the New UN Forces practice a policy of "avoid whenever possible" when it comes to the "wild"/"lost" Zentradi roaming the galaxy, it's entirely possible they've detected several Supervision Army fleets and simply not stuck around long enough to tell them apart from the regular Zentradi.
  5. Today
  6. Hlj was also 1 per. Got mine last night.
  7. Unless otherwise noted, AE usually has limit-one policy. So you will usually see "sold out" once you placed your own order, but it'll still be open to others that haven't.
  8. Thank you Mog and Tekering. Can I apply the smoke paint inside of the visor instead of the outside?
  9. Nin-nin and HLJ are order stop, PO'd one from AE. Yen to USD is pretty good, so I don't mind ponying up one last time. I AM worried about the QC though. The 31 Siegfried/Kairos mold was great, but it was the assembly that made them the best Valkyries Bandai produced. Ever since COVID, it's been a crapshoot, and more bad than good. Still, this is the one I always wanted, with the LO paint and missiles in the legs. And holy cow, as I was writing this AE has sold out! PO madness, one.. last... time...
  10. Kill Bladder... EDIT: 281 minutes with a 15 minute intermission https://variety.com/2025/film/trailers/kill-bill-whole-bloody-affair-trailer-first-time-theaters-1236572146/
  11. May have already been asked, but with the millions of zentraedi ships and thousands of factory satellites constantly pumping out troops and war machines, I’d imagine the Supervision armies are probably just as numerous. And with the branching out of immigration fleets throughout the galaxy, has one ever come into contact with the supervision army on or off screen in any way other than just finding wreckage? And if so has the reaction been similar to the Zentraedi
  12. but also sad that they didn't include the regress seat for the pilot, its not like its a huge part, so it should have been included....
  13. I love The Hu, not to be confused with The Who or The Who’s Next although all of them have their good stuff
  14. Snagged one at Nin-Nin... I had a mountain of Vouchers to throw at it so it canceled all the extra tariffs and shipping. Pretty excited as I really like this Kairos.
  15. Nice. Looks pretty standard so far, nothing 'new' jumps out. One more week until shipping, then another week until here
  16. Yes, that is what's happening. I managed to contact AE and cancel my DHL shipping request and they will hold it for me until Japan Post starts shipping again so that's a relief. The DHL shipping was going to cost me more than double EMS from what I can tell. I'm not sure how long AE will hold stuff for you, so hopefully EMS resumes soon.
  17. Rumor. But seeing RAM and NAND chip prices suddenly jump because of AI 🙄, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Nvidia decided to delay the Supers in favor of AI production. 2 or 4GB chips are probably easier to produce in the quantities people (read; AI) want right now. https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-super-refresh-faces-uncertainty-amid-reports-of-3gb-gddr7-memory-shortage
  18. I still haven't seen Delta and don't really care about it, but I don't own a 31 yet and I love the paint scheme on this one. I'm not a fan of the graphics on the other Delta valks. Anyway it was really nice to be able to just casually buy this at retail from AE instead of the usual striking out on pre-order madness night and then paying way more later for the WWM release in North America. Very refreshing! It was like buying a Takara product! So easy.
  19. The other difference between the TV version and the movie version is the configuration of the 'hard points' to carry the missiles. The TV version has 3 hardpoints instead of the 2 hardpoints of the movie edition, but in the movie edition the VF-1 can carry 2 missiles in one single hard point.

  20. Hoorahhhhh! My Excalibur surprisingly arrived today! Extremely happy to get it at 25k yen (6000yen shipping) though my tariff is €41.24. This weekend no longer alone🥰
  21. Actually, I really liked the music they used in Badlands. I’m guessing they collaborated with the Hu as it does sound like them.
  22. Oh yeah, it’s been refunded, bank issued a new card but it’s Mail Drop, probably be next week when I get it. I can use a virtual card but not for bills. It’ll cut things pretty close but it’s okay! There’s been a substantial increase in card fraud in town, cops are thinking there’s an operation going on due to number of reports. They’ve been looking for two particular individuals who’ve been favoring the local Target. Hmmm not sure how I should feel about that. Considering right now I’m listening to the amazing and ever lasting Conan score by Basil Poledouris.
