    Didn't expect this!

    There are two kinds of kids. Teenagers (and preteens) and children. Mando looks to be aimed at the former (which is what I was when SW originally came out). Skeleton Crew was aimed at the latter.

    Country of origin for purposes of the tariffs is based on where the product was made, not where it is shipped. From what I've read on places like myfigurecollection.net, which has an extremely long thread consisting of hundreds of posts on the tariffs issue, HJL is one of few (along with Good Smile's online store) that accurately marks the country of origin as China compared to the overwhelming majority of others (like amiami, Mandarake, etc.) that have historically put down Japan as the COO for everything that they ship. From what I've seen, DHL also has a processing/brokerage fee of $17 that they tack on in addition to the tariffs for their handling of the paperwork or whatever to clear customs. From what I've read, I think UPS' processing fee may be even higher, but I'm not completely sure.

    Yeah, thankfully I don't trust DHL in the slightest either. They're always the least reliable in my area, so I'm just going to let anything I ordered ride until there's another option.

    Hopefully your health gets better soon, but there’s always the D+ option I’d imagine that the majority will be adults, but I wouldn’t expect a packed theater for it.

    George Lucas did say, this is a movie for kids when he did star wars, it's not really a movie aimed at grownups after all. Either way, I think this could be a good popcorn flick. The only question is will I be able to sit in a theater and watch this with my current health. Since it's 8 months away, who knows! I'm crossing my fingers.

    Okay wait, that was it? .........serious? that's season 1?
  11. TangledThorns
    Very much for kids and is why I'm dragging mine to see it, lol. I expect lots of adults will see it too.

    RIP Miss Cardinale.

    Ouch! But true. The real problem being that they tied him own to a gangster who can't gangster. I only saw the show once, but didn't they have him being taken in by nomads after escaping the Sarlac pit? They should have just had him fighting for them against the far more powerful Hutts for the length of the show.

    I took a week off to play BF6 the week after its released, lol.

    Found on a current auction, just another low-viz variant, but the angle of this pic just struck me as 'that is freaking cool' Hasegawa did nice on the 1/48.

    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. 😅
  21. Papa Rat
    Yeah I think you’re right about that.

    I take it that it doesn't transform?

    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.
