  1. Past hour
  2. Since it supposedly released yesterday it makes sense to advertise. I'll have to give it a look tonight.
  3. And Matchbox is the "realistic" of the two car lines. Hot Wheels at least had those outlandish cars that would have been distinctive.
  4. I had a pre-order from early last year and I saw that they were available. I told them, that I wanted my order and threw in Dolza to make it a three pack. If I wouldn't of emailed them, I am pretty sure my order would still be pending. FYI. MB
  5. It sounds like you can request a pilot figure be shipped if you buy something else and pay for combined shipping. That works for me... I'll give it a try.
  6. Wait, you actually got a figure to fulfill the regult preorder, or did you have to purchase these? The site doesn't show either Seth or Adam available for sale or even preorder. What do you mean by "more or less?" Are they finally fulfilling the promise to include a figure with every regult preorder? Or are you saying they're only fulfilling the promise to make a figure that fits in a regult?
  7. I feel the same way; they ended up being parodies of characters in my mind rather than characters in and of themselves. Powerglide sounded like a cross between a ring announcer and an car salesman; Seaspray sounded like Popeye trying to talk while gargling water (or whatever) at the same time, and Warpath.... let's not even go there (which is a shame, since I love his Generations design!). On that note: if they wanted to update their personalities, tone down that stuff (not remove it completely) in the voice acting, and make them a bit more like military personnel in those assigned roles: Powerglide: self-assured pilot/ aviator. Not obnoxious like the G1 cartoon version, but showing come competency. Almost like a Tom Cruise Maverick kind of spirit. Seaspray: an "old salt"; much traveled and experienced... weathered many storms, both metallic and terrestrial. A dash of Quint from Jaws (Robert Shaw) would work well. Warpath: grizzled old Army Vet (WWII). Nothing really phases him; seen utter hell and spat in its' face. Squints hard at danger and then slugs it right in the chops. (for some reason, I love listening to the "Police Academy March" when I think of him.... ) Just my take on this.
  8. Directly from KC.... Also got my Battlepod Pre-order figs.....opted for one "Adam" just to have one and 2 "Seth" variants... The figs are nice and fullfill "the promise"....more or less....of a Regult with pilot.....but they are just way too small to display with any other Macross toys that are not in "HM-R" scale.... KC 1/72.... HM-R VF-1... Yamato 1/60 VF-1.... THREEZERO VF-1.... KC 6".... HM-R Defender....
  9. Today
  10. No, but they did scale it back down regardless and I suspect it was because the ergonomics the classic bridge setup possesses begins to lose cohesion with larger spaces. Echoing the massive ring of nothing that the writers seem to have inherited from Discovery. While all that may be true, it still expends fuel (deuterium/ antideuterium) which is extra mass they must carry (the old conundrum more mass= more fuel= more mass). I'm not saying it'll "make or break the ship" per se, but that the thinking behind this is not solid by any measure and lacks the fairly tight economy of some previous starships.
  11. Got $200 from attending a meeting so it helped cut down the cost and fees. Ended up being an excellent purchase.
  12. And ordered at Kohl's for pickup.
  13. Promo video with Itano: Gosh, I've bought so many versions of M+ if feels like an obligation at this point....
  14. @tekering What a cool discovery and looks like you are well on your way (= Yeah I think the 4 builds going on thing is just because I’m some sorta sicko. Hahaha. I imagine my dedication to drinking copious amounts of coffee probably is a contributing factor. Who’s to say? Besides that I’m rather chill. 🙃
  15. Powerglide, Warpath, and Seaspray were such annoying characters. I understand that they wanted to make them colorful, but the over-the-top-ness of the voice acting just lost me, even as a 13-14-year-old who loved the first season and really wanted to like the second.
  16. I guess that is a V-F1...
  17. It turns out there's a TIE variant in The Empire Strikes Back I never even knew existed: This barely-glimpsed TIE shuttle delivers Captain Needa to Vader's Super Star Destroyer. I've decided I can kitbash one using existing toys, just as ILM kitbashed their model from existing parts: I'll just have to scratchbuild some of the exterior detailing. I wish I could concentrate on more than one model at a time... Even planning an upcoming project interferes with progress on an existing one. The more online research I pursue, the more I ignore what's lying on my workbench! 😓
  18. what happened to his CEO daughter girlfriend? Powerglide and Seaspray trying to go out with humans.
  19. AZ Death Saurer on the way, so gotta finish my HMM Gun Sniper. Left brain---WHY are there so many gun barrels to sand and paint? Right brain---duh, you bought the GUN SNIPER
