    Sweet! 👍 i thought the new Viper designs were an equally respectful homage. Again, I'm happy to validate your feelings, but you do understand the intention there, right? Like every other aspect of the show, the cinéma-vérité realism extended to the space battles, applying the same documentary-style camerawork we've seen on the nightly news since the Vietnam war. That's how real dogfights have to be shot -- panning and zooming to follow the action as it happens -- and applying that aesthetic to a science-fiction space opera was truly groundbreaking... ...if a little jarring to oldskool fans. 😝 As opposed to the 1978 technique of reusing the same six model shots in every single episode? 😛 The original series was just so compromised by technical limitations, budget cutbacks, broadcast standards and practices, and television executive oversight, it's a miracle that it lasted as long as it did... until it became so unwatchable ABC canned it for good in 1980. Ironically, NBC made the same mistake that same year, retooling Buck Rogers in the 25th Century for its second season, with results almost as disastrous. 🫣 NuBSG, on the other hand, was so successful it not only completed its entire five-season epic, it spun off several TV movies, a prequel series, and a web series... and regardless of whether it satisfied your personal expectations, you certainly can't deny the universal acclaim it's received. So say we all!

    So with all the wing variations they're doing, I wonder how that'll impact potential Tread connectivity? No skin in the game (yet) but I thought it a logical question.

    They still make merchandise for this trashy franchise 😅.

    The OG Line looks impressive but pricey. I am just waiting for the Seekers how they would turnout, Im hoping for a OG Soundwave, always wanted a SW in proper vehicle alt mode.

    This unexpected, whats next a Legioss with Jetfire color style.

    It would have been infinitely better if they had used the shaky cam and quick zoom-ins sparingly to emphasize very specific sequences in only a few episodes per season, to sell the dynamism and intense chaotic nature of certain engagements of high significance, instead of turning the techniques into overused gimmicks.

    Goshogun. But I remember watching some episodes of it in the 80's as Macron 1. It somehow stuck, especially the corny opening song, . Here's the much smaller gokin figure of it I got 18 years ago.

    Star Wars TVC Darth Vader Emperor's Wrath.

    Just curious, what toy line is this Predator from?

    I do find it amusing that they didn’t pack Elisa with a gun. I mean she is a police detective after all. Nice to see they got most of the mains out though.

    Just curious, what mecha is this from?

    Awesome find!

    I'm not sure how long I'll continue collecting these HG lines or keep some of them in Gerwalk and Fighter modes. Some of the Battroid proportions are looking more like Blokees Transformers.

    Akuma is finally in stock at The Chosen Prime.

    Paul McCrane's included signature was a nice touch.

    lol only now I realise the implication of that name. Pretty naughty of Toyrise.

    For the most part, the visuals were great, but I hate shaky cam! Or the sudden, rapid zoom-in, as if I have telescopic vision. In comparison, that's not so bad, but just hold the dang camera steady!

    I'll still be getting SS TFTM Shockwave because I like it more than the Siege version. I wish the front cannon was removable though. As for cannon mode, I'm just going to flip spaceship mode upside down.
  23. sh9000
    I'll wait for Toyrise to release the original Legioss. Maybe there's a way to mod the feet. Or DNA can step in. Enemy mecha would also be cool.

    I absolutely love Classic Battlestar Galactica and have good memories as a child. I also loved seeing them on the Tram Tour at Universal Studios. Here's a good site. https://www.thestudiotour.com/wp/studios/universal-studios-hollywood/theme-park/attractions/the-studio-tour/past-studio-tour/battle-of-galactica/ I've never watched the new series and don't ever plan to. The Classic series is on Fandango at Home, Prime Video, and Apple TV. Physical media is also nice to own. This is still one of my favorite packaging.

    This Valentine's Day, celebrate the love of posing.
  27. Chas started following Winter Wonder Festival 2026 video and photo report: plenty of Macross love to be found!

    Great read Greg. Shopping, hanging out with friends, food, fun and music, then falling asleep on the train ride home brings back memories of life in my 20's ( and what happens whenever I visit back home without my wife and kids.) Sounds like you had a good time.
