    while watching the trailer again I this time paused some of the end segments. Looks like somehow our lil synthetic heroine is gonna hook a xenomorph right on its secondary mouth and properly just rip the dang thing right out maybe even killing it or getting a big acid splash, guess wait and see. There's at least some differences from what previous movies have tried like introducing other animals and species....it would be really. neat if they do the ol' kenner toy bit and we see the Xenomorph equivalent of those creatures.

    Ummmm...I'm blaming Nintendo for that. That's all on Gamestop. Why the hell are you STAPLING a receipt to the box? What happened to just taping it? Or neither.

    I still find the show entertaining. It’s not my favorite gundam show, but definitely far from the worst. I think this particular episode that we just had was the only one that really let me down. Some of the others were a little fillerish. Although I do think that one of the biggest problems with the overall show is that it’s more about everything else and not much about the main character. Kinda like a main character that would be fine in a three episode quickie that somehow got a bigger series and now just kinda reacts mostly to the more interesting stuff going on in what normally would be the background. kinda like the background and foreground are reversed

    I’d definitely agree there. I don’t buy those either though due to price, but if I won the lottery and had my choice, I’d easily go for the kit

    I gotta say that stapling receipts to a box is pretty stupid. That should never have been a thing in the first place for any product. They petty much trashed a few hundred thousand dollars or possibly much more worth of product. I bet the people at Nintendo are all fairly confused over this one.

    I’m guessing Perry White will never be white again.

    I’ve been getting the hlj orders on kits. Even the VF-22’s in sets of three. Just they limited the decals to only three, so I had to get those locally. I think the trick is to just order on day one for the kits you want. Bandai seems a bit slower at reissuing kits than they used to be and these days it may end up cheaper at some of the local spots. Personally, I haven’t ordered any of the delta kits because they haven’t announced the one I would buy. the Bandai figures at hlj have been tough, but at least they put order stop on those. Wasn’t able to get that Char Aznable sh figuarts and unfortunately none of the local spots have had preorders for him.

    GFFMC RX-78-2 FRGMT available at the New York Tamashi Nations store for $360. Kinda steep.

    Beck Bennett is in this? I miss that guy on SNL, he was great!

    Holy crap you utter dipshits, Nintendo.. at least COVER THE FREAKING SCREENS. Why the everloving crap would you pack it with the screen facing the exterior with no crush space? Not to excuse the stupidity of stapling receipts to boxes, but if the stores have adopted that as standard procedure for electronics sales, maybe you need to look at packaging standards for fragile electronics products.

    Time for me to harp on the dumbness of the official sizes of Macross ships again... 1 - can we first agree that the Gefion is a variant of the Northampton-class frigate, and that the two ships are the same size? These are both official game models, stripped of their textures. When scaled to the same size, they overlap line by line *everywhere* except for the obvious bits (different armament and the flight deck pods), This includes the whole bridge section, the wing pods, the AA turrets, and the secondary turrets. (Curiously, the primary turret is slightly smaller on the Gefion). This is what an official scale VF-25 looks like on the flight deck of the 250 meter long Gefion. As you can see... this does not fit. You *may* be able to squeeze the thing through with some grease, but as we will see in a moment, no grease is needed in the game. And no amount of grease in the world would get that König Monster into that hangar aperture, that isn't happening. This is a screenshot I took in Macross 30 a few years back, when I first played it. That is a VF-0D standing on the rear flight deck, and while I didn't get close enough to the opening to really double down on it, it looks very much to me like the thing will walk comfortably through that arch. Now, how tall is a VF-0D? The official specs never said. And when there *were* official specs given (in Macross Chronicle, no less), the height given (14 meters) was too short for the official *length* of the beast to make any sense. according to Macross Mecha Manual. The calculated minimum height of the VF-0 is 16 meters, and M3 gives it as 16.25. How tall is the arch? Well, at the official 250 meter length of the ship, that arch, in the 3D model, is *just* shy of 4.75 meters tall, but we'll call it 4.75 because I don't want to deal with more decimals. *IF* the VF-0D is the "canon" height of 14 meters (which as mentioned makes no sense); then the ship has to be *at minimum* 3 times the size in order to fit the robot through the hole that we can see it can walk through. If it is the more reasonable 16.25 meters, it's at minimum 3.5 times the official length, and the robot would be scraping its head laser on the roof if it walked anywhere but the center of the arch. At four times the official size, we reach 19 meters arch height, at which point most non-Zentran, non-Monster battroids can walk through it. This is the Gefion scaled up to 400%, or 1000 meters overall. The König monster fits comfortably. Battroids can walk through the rear arch. I am basically convinced that this is the size the ship is presented as in the game itself even if it never states this outright. In summary: The Gefion, as shown in Macross 30, using all the scaling evidence available, is presented as being somewhere between 750 meters and 1000 meters in overall length, very likely on the larger end of that spectrum; and because the Northampton is basically the same model in too many details to discount, it too must be of a similar size. Which, by the way, makes Operation Stargazer a whole lot more reasonable as you could actually fit all those 43 fighters without gutting the whole ship. Edit: (Of course, changing the size of the Northampton would also result in dumb issues, because all the other ships would need to be scaled up to match, and that does not work for ships like the Elysion or the Battle 7/Battle 25. It *would* fix my issues with the Macross Quarter fairly handily since it would need to be scaled up to a mile long, though... but a 6.5 km Battle 7 is just too much. The flight decks are already almost too big to make sense. What I want to get at is that scaling in Macross is just *stupid* all around, and none of the figures being thrown around make sense and the ships relative sizes on the screen make no sense either...)

    Batman looks set for the crash position. I would not buy it.

    How articulated are these little buggers?

    Oops. Just noticed that the framing around the VF-0S was incorrect. Adjusted and new pic posted.

    Ordered one of each. Which isn't super helpful as I like to get 3 of each. But I'm likely to get all mine local since HLJ rarely comes through for me. I still haven't gotten any of the Max/Miria VF-22s I ordered.

    I wonder what these would be like inside a PC case. It looks short enough to fit standing in between my video card and PSU hood.

    Really wish Arcadia would do a new ghost.

    Do you use a camera or your phone to take these pics?

    Congratulations - you did dodge a bullet - people have been getting all kinds of madness from Amazon in recent times.

    Yeah, agreed on the microwave on both points. Just use it for making popcorn or warming food up so I'm right there anyways. Also, cramming more tech in it probably causes issues I'm sure. My previous 22 year old GE Profile microwave was fine till it had mechanical issues so ended up replacing it.

    It already has the Metal Structure version beat in terms of articulation.

    I love being able to preheat the oven while I'm at the store getting the kids their corn dogs or whatever. My fridge has wifi but I never even bothered to set it up. The advantium microwave oven is set up but I've never used it. They should add a reset feature to the apps though because sometimes the microwave gets itself in a bizarre state and needs a reboot.
  26. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Agreed. Definitely another center piece.
