    Oh Yeah! It’s a great kit. Hope to get the small stuff finished and cured by the weekend. I finished up the airbrush portion of the build. Got to do touch ups and panels etc…

    Nice to see someone else building the Plamax VF-1. have fun!

    I've had a soft spot for those for as long as I can remember. I can still CLEARLY remember the moment I watched the first episode of Genesis Climber MOSPEADA (ok, it was Robotech:' New Gen). Restricting my collecting to variable/transforming bikes fit a niche that brings me joy, and saved me space (and money). Now, years later, I'm finding myself restricting limited space even more, basically to "ride armor" type of designs. That said, yes, TFP Arcee and TFA Prowl are fantastic and just *chef's kiss*. I still look forward to new things coming out, and Shinji Aramaki-related designs, MOSPEADA and BGC related items, and Aramaki-adjacent things (which is where I pigeon hole Zillion) still get my shelf space/wallet tears.

    @slide - NICE bench area!!!! My dream is to be able to airbrush and have a vent to outside, but in my house that ain't EVER gonna happen, especially in TX with the heat and humidity the way it is most of the year, also the wife is like NOPE. I get away with spraying teeny tiny parts with Vallejo acrylics because they don't smell and clean up with Windex, everything else I have to paint out in the garage.

    Now I no longer want to be an astronaut. Pooping in the woods was enough for me in the US Army, lol. Artemis II toilet returns to 'normal operations' after brief issue https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/04/02/artemis-ii-toilet-problem/89432179007/ Apollo-era Fecal Containment Device https://www.spacecentre.co.uk/collections/categories/apollo/apollo-era-fecal-containment-device/

    😄 Amazing how much stuff can be fixed by recycling power. It worked on airplanes, too, a common "fix" for avionics and other electronic systems. I worked hydraulics, so a leak or some other related malfunction generally meant we were getting dirty. I imagine it's not so different for the space plumbers who actually have to tear into the toilet. I imagine they make a good salary but, ugh, not a job I'd wanna do. 🤢 Although it's far more spacious than the Apollo era capsules, it's still pretty tight confines for four people over ten days, and perhaps a little awkward for the solo female aboard. I suspect one of the normalcies of space flight is the shedding of modesty and shame, at least to a fair degree, when it comes to bathroom use and overall hygiene. I feel for the astronauts who have to live in that environment for the duration of their trip, and for the poor folks on clean-up duty when they land, as I believe these new capsules are reusable. If not, it's going to a museum, so either way, it'll be in need of a serious wipe down. To paraphrase Alien, "In space, everyone can smell your crap". I believe it was John Young who made the "floating turd" comment. I can only imagine the grimaces on the faces of NASA's PR people when that gem came across for all to hear. That was space reality, though, and it's awkward, funny, and poignant to have it memorialized in a transmission. Probably wasn't so funny when it was happening, though. Yuck!

    Yeah, I'm in the same boat - sigh... the thing that got me on ebay was the processing paperwork. It was a relatively smallish purchase, and I calculated the tariffs correctly, but then there was an additional $25 "processing fee" because they had to _do_ the tariff paperwork. But yeah, lots of stuff I'm not buying now because of tariffs. We'll have a home grown toy industry in no time at all.

    Surprising, eBay usually includes the prices in shipping. Tariffs depend on the country of origin. If it's from Japan to the US it should be 15% but everyone is also adding handling charges now and the shipping companies are adding their own processing fees. So there are a bunch of variables that make it harder to know. The base shipping is also more expensive and only includes the fastest delivery methods generally. I was just complaining that anime export tried to charge me 19000 yen to ship a small toy. There are a lot of things I'm not buying right now because they would cost more to ship than buy... It's a bummer.

    @slide so clean and organized. My bench is a pigpen 😂

    Nice looking work station, @slide!

    @mikeszekely Do you have pics of Wheelie next to other Minibots? I'm going to wait it out for G2 Motormaster and Wildrider.

    If those are the only hiccups...

    Never heard it referred to this, is it written somewhere? I only saw it referred to "The Last Red Shoulder Custom" ATM-09-ST(TC)
  22. SpaceCowboy
    Can anyone tell me what tariffs are on this toy (going to the US)? I see a lot of tempting prices, but frakking tariffs make it a pain to figure out what I'm going to be charged...is it 15%? 60%? I've already been bitten by unexpected tariff prices once on ebay, so I'm not wanting to pick this up for $130-$160 and then end up paying $300 by the time it arrives. If that's the case, I'll just wait for the US arrival.

    Yeah. In the Origins/Roots of Ambition ova, Reeman's Squad uses regular AT-STs with 6-tube missile launcher and a custom spike weapon for Reeman's AT-ST. In the Unknown Red Shoulder ova, Gregore's squad uses a 7-tube missile launcher on their ST-TCs In Pailsen Files ova, Berkoff's squad uses a 12-tube missile launcher in both their regular army AT-STs and their ISS Black ST-TCs. Both have the updated biceps-detail, too. It'll be very impressive if Bandai can produce and sell the complete Pailsen Files ATs this time around in HMR, instead of just the regular AT-ST and Ground Fatty from their old 1/20 model kit line. Takara completed the Pailsen Files ATs in their Actic Gear line, in contrast...
  25. Protoman
    Yeah, this is looking amazing!
  26. PixelatedShinobi
    Yeah, it's awesome. The translator (Logan) did the hard work, and he did a damn good job of it. Kodachi's prose is phenomenal and I'm so happy its coming through clearly. And yeah, summaries aren't everything. Lotta misinformation goes around, so I'm very happy to be getting the work out there to clear any up.

    That seems pretty close to how Supergirl treats her dog. It’s just kinda there and if she really has to do something she might, or she might just find someone else to take care of it. At least Rocket always stayed more responsible for Groot’s existence

    Looking better already
