  1. Past hour
  2. Thanks! I came up with a VF-1 Wolfpack scheme for the YF-19 that I want to build at some point as well. I like putting my own stamp on things.
  3. It's quite the surprise that Bandai made changes to the plastic to make it more opaque, but this can only be a good thing.
  4. Some of these I wanted so badly many moons ago! Especially the combiners..

    Is there a reason why images can be uploaded in forum posts but not DMs?
  6. Today
  7. Thats awesome. Early new toys are the best. Ok well not like THE best, but its up there.
  8. Ordered my copy of Hound; should arrive in a few days.
  9. Dunk & Egg isn't a serious drama. If you're expecting it to be like GoT and HotD, this might not be for you.
  10. https://www.gridironprops.com/store/c17/Gridiron_Studios_1_18_Action_Figure_Weapons_Accessories_for_JOYTOY_GI_JOE_ARAH#/ Vehicles and figure accessories.
  11. Studio Series TFTM Hot Rod, Hound, Scourge, and Optimus are available for order pickup at Target. Megatron is not available for order pickup in my area.
  12. Two years of Hi-Metal R! Not bad! let's see how this stacks up after 5 years ?... 🤗 Also there a slight colour difference between the (RSC) and the new, regular Scopedog! The one on left is slightly darker! Like the (STTC) And also a nice comparison shot VS the 1/24 wave Kit! which is very comparable too the HMR in detail! Pictures are from amble.jp posted by TAKI-chan.
  13. My workbench aka „the carpet in the living room“. Got an AMEWI tugboat for cheap. Build it with my kid and went to the nearby (still partly frozen pond) to give it a dip. Done after ~ 5min. Rather quick in the water. My kid also saw my new Plamax VF-1D. He demanded me to build it like the other two bare builds. So we explored the box. The box is rather full. Hasegawa would have used a 2x size box for this 🤣 I squeezed it into the „Todo“ stash after the F-14D.
  14. Oh absolutely, I wasn’t implying a robust delaying force wouldn’t be critical.
  15. I second your thoughts on the plastic quality. The new combo is brighter opaque white with little yellow while the first release is yellowish, translucent white. I took the old one out for a direct comparison side by side and I’d have to vouch for the new version.👍
  16. Good gravy does the RAMpocalypse suck. My wife has been wanting to get into the property rental business. She found a property for sale that was owned by some guy who went into hospice or something. The estate didn't want to deal with all the crap in his house, so they sold it with a provision that not only was my wife buying the house, she was buying everything in it. Well, I found a fairly modern Lenovo Ideacentre PC that likely shipped with Windows 10 but was upgraded to 11 (in addition to a much older machine with a Vista sticker). Figured I'd give it a rehab, could always use it as a living room media box or something. But, it's only got 8GB of RAM. No biggie, I think. I know RAM prices are bad right now, but that's for DDR5, right? Nope. A 16GB kit (2x8GB) of DDR4 is sitting somewhere between $100-$150
  17. Huh, do the side engines not light up now on this Reconnaissance Pod?
  18. Even if evacuation is your aim, being able to delay the enemy while you prepare that evacuation is pretty important. From that same account in Master File, the 73 ships and ~600 Valkyries of the Spica III New UN Spacy defense force were able to stall the advance of the Zentradi 1,534th Main Fleet for a period of several hours using their entire stockpile of thermonuclear reaction weapons. Their sacrifice buys enough time for a partial evacuation to be organized and get more than 20,000 civilians offworld and out of harm's way.
  19. Everyone's picking on Astrotrain for the mass-shifting and the fact that his interior works like a Tardis... I'm telling you, though, the worst offender is Omega Supreme. Dude transforms into an entire rocket base, and just his arms for the rocket, right? Then the Autobots would fly off in the rocket, and when they get there, somehow the rocket can turn back into Omega Supreme even though they left most of him behind.
  20. Okay? So 2500 ships supposedly match your lower bound limit of main fleet ships of N00,000 Zent ships. There’s a whole huge range between that and N,000,000, for which I would think evacuation would be the best option. Unless they get lucky with some kind of protoculture shock again.
  21. Honestly, this scene (and others like it) is the only thing I remember about Astrotrain. Even as a kid, I was probably bug-eyed and scratching my head. I mean, Jetfire was already a stretch, Astrotrain is just ridiculous .
  22. I feel like there was more of a surprise wit from dusk till dawn. I remember the original ads never showed anything spooky or monstrous. It just kinda looked like it would be an average Tarantino Rodriguez style heist gone wrong movie. I remember after work one day since a theater was less than a block away we all just walked over got our tickets and got all caught off guard when it turned into a vampire movie. Sinners kinda showed the surprise in the trailers and it became more of a dark titanic where you’re just waiting for the ship to sink. Although definitely better than titanic ever was. I definitely feel that Sinners was a good movie, but definitely not worth all the nominations. As far as big creepy films of the year, Weapons was far more entertaining although maybe not all that Oscar worthy either. Just a better overall movie than sinners. Critics and academy voters always have too big of a soft spot for musicals
