    That Scambit is really pricey at bbts. It’s $134 before tax and shipping and possibly other fees. I got the original version for $50 or $60 when it was new. I thought that was a little pricey for a six inch toy then, now it seems like a total bargain

    That’s amazing. not a style I’d be trying myself, but this definitely makes me excited for the moderoid kit.

    With their advertising for this, it looks to be aimed at children. Like Skeleton Crew. Which is fine, I liked that. Just makes me a little sad we're now miles away from the Space Spaghetti Western the show started as.

    It was difficult for me to come to terms with this... but when Discovery, Rings of Power, and even Star Trek Into Darkness claim 84% of critics recommend them, I guess the shills have taken over. 🫣 Still, if grading on a curve, I have to admit Alien: Earth wasn't nearly as disappointing as Alien 3... or Alien vs. Predator... or Prometheus, even. 😒 And if the show had come to television 30 years ago, amidst the RoboCop, Highlander, and Police Academy TV series, we'd have hailed it as a masterpiece. 😅

    Yeah I think you’re right about that.

    It's going to be a very long wait @no3Ljm. Bandai is too busy re-releasing selected umpteen versions of the older renewal valk lineup with a "newer updated look" and the upcoming Zola Patrol 19. VF-1 valks are in the backburner for now.

    I'd put more faith in the amateur reviewers and general audiences than the professional critics, mainly because the latter group are often indirectly in the employ of the studios via the media companies that own the papers and websites and seem to be afraid to give negative reviews unless the film or series is borderline unwatchable. 40+ point disparities between critic and audience scores are pretty common now. The audience scores are trending downward, but still well on the positive side of neutral... which is fair. Alien: Earth isn't unwatchably bad like The Acolyte or Star Trek: Discovery, both of which have 50+ point disparities between their glowing critical praise and scathing audience reviews. It's a clumsy effort that feels like it needed a bit more time in the oven, but it has spirit and in the flashback episode there's some sense that the showrunners do understand the assignment... or are at least copying the homework of someone who does. With a little work, Alien: Earth as a whole could've gone from iffy to good or even great, and the flashback episode could've gone from good to amazing with a bit more polish.

    If so, that would make the decision to green-light the show's development and production a rather idiotic move. The entire premise of the series was "Boba Fett is back from his Disney Villain Death in Return of the Jedi and his new ambition is to take over Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire". Why green-light a series about an explicitly villainous bounty hunter at all if he has to be Mr. Space Rogers? If he can't be shown doing crime, why make the focus of the story his new life goal to change careers to Crime Lord and take over his old boss's criminal empire built on drug smuggling, slave trafficking, protection rackets, space piracy, and murder-for-hire? Poor Din was the one sane man poking his head into an Idiot Plot. That even a poorly written character could be written worse. Bo-Katan was always rather thinly written, and the people writing her often forget she was the right-hand man to the coup leader who framed and overthrew her sister and plunged Mandalore into the chaos that led to its takeover by Maul, the one who effectively started the civil war that led to its takeover by the Empire, etc. Considering how often poor Din tends to get overshadowed by characters from Filoni's past works... I'm a bit worried he's going to be playing second fiddle to the likes of Zeb and Rotta in his own movie.

    https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/claudia-cardinale-tunisian-born-star-italian-cinema-dies-age-87-2025-09-23/ Thank you for the excellent roles you played. You will never be forgotten by your countless fans and admirers. May you rest in peace in the great heavenly hall with Cheyenne and "Harmonica".

    Until Bo returned in season 3 to show that even a great character could also be written poorly.

    It’s ok, I think they were mostly taken care of by the end of the show. seriously, I think Cham was the only survivor
  22. Tking22
    Yeah as others have said, this just looks like an extended episode of the show, I didn't really expect anything more, but it looks like a TV show. Agreed on Bo, and I watched and loved Clone Wars and Rebels, she's a great character, but hi-jacking Mando's show was lame, and her saving the main character over and over got old fast. Book of Boba? Yikes, what a monumental waste of a beloved legacy character, now he's a bunty hunter that doesn't bounty hunt, a criminal leader of nothing, an assassin that doesn't assassinate, a toothless gangster that doesn't do gangster things, he's nothing to nobody, he's just a lump on a throne of nothing.

    Where's a can of RAID when ya need one?
  24. Roy Focker
    Boba's character assassination was result of I think them not wanting lead characters to be bad. Children are watching. We can't have him a crime lord doing criminal activity.
  25. Thom
    And that 'defanging' became even more evident when Mando showed up, showing a far better written and plotted character than Boba Fett turned out to be.
  26. Papa Rat
    Nice. I saw that too. I have a few of those HG kits waiting to be built. Might be a fun kit to bring with on a trip or build while chilling on the couch watching a movie.

    Arcadia's website has been down for a long time now, so I wouldn't read too much into it. It's probably quicker and easier for them to do updates via social media.
