Preordered Outback and Wheelie from Walmart since they were a little cheaper there. I might cancel my preorder for DK-59 and get Skybound Optimus.- 17731 replies

I think that it’s one of those shows that’s kinda down the middle where it’s not good enough to be great and not bad enough to be infuriating and is just kinda there. There’s also the fact that it’s intended to be a comedy, so you kinda forgive stupid things in the show, if it were a supposedly serious show like Alien Earth, then you’d have loud voices trashing every mistake or cringy scene, while this show has some stupid scenes and dumb characters, it’s a comedy so nobody is taking it serious enough for loud voices.

Other companies can, but Bandai models can’t because while other sites carry Bandai kits, there’s an agreement that they can’t ship them to the states. It’s supposedly that American stores can compete with Japanese sites. Hlj seems to be an exception since they were designed as an English site in Japan. Toys and things are under a different rule, but Bandai models like Gundam, Votoms and Macross kits go under the rule that Japanese sites can’t supply to the states. Macross kinda gets stuck in a mess where there’s the extra harmony gold problem on top of all that for the og series, hopefully that doesn’t cause problems with the movie designs, but who knows. Anyway, I noticed you mentioned hobbysearch. If you even try looking up Gundam kits or really any other Bandai models on their site, they don’t list them anymore. You have to change the URL to Japan and then they become visible. You can however find Bandai toys easily like sh figuarts or dx toys from Macross and even the hmr stuff, but the model kits don’t appear without that change to the URL

[AdultSwin] Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal
jvmacross replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Looking forward to this... -
I thought the fact that Chris' father and brother were both alive was the biggest clue....everything else was just part of the "goofiness" you mention that is part of the new DCU....actually the very existence of another world behind each door, by definition, meant it was not the same world, they were all alternate worlds... I thought the series was a fun distraction....I am no DC mega fan, but based on what I have read since the last episode, seems like it could get interesting....Gunn needs to really start cranking out more heroes and villians....hope he doesn’t drop the ball...

It seems to be a series marketed on the shortcut change gimmick so I'm not really expecting any non-transforming subjects in this line. Unless I'm missing something, aren't Hobbysearch and other japanese sites also able to ship VF-1 kits to the US? Hasegawa and PLAMAX have no qualms about making VF-1 products.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
Seto Kaiba replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
May I Ask for One Final Thing? is the gift that keeps on giving. Scarlet has the most delightful take-no-sh*t attitude as a protagonist and her motivations are both hilariously self-centered and delightfully effective. Her newfound pursuit of justice and desire to root out villainy is motivated by hilariously enlightened self-interest. To use her own words: She delivers that last part with a beatific smile atop a sparkling pink background framed by roses that would not have been at all out of place for a confession of true love in a romance series. -

I have a feeling that they may hold back on the VF-1 since currently only hlj can sell it over here to the U.S. I have a feeling that they will eventually do it through. I really want an 11 and 0, but wouldn’t mind some non VF stuff like the power armor from Macross Plus or even a red vajra from frontier.

Happy to see it. Although I'm still not the biggest fan of the 1/100 scale, this Bandai HG line is proving to be a great way to get a whole lot of VF designs in all 3 modes, many of which not available in plastic before. I dunno if they'll keep going after the VF-25 and VF-31 series are complete, but would love to see VF-11, VF-0, and VF-1 if they want to compete with Wave. Somewhat skeptical that they'll do VF-27, SV-51, or SV-262, but we'll see.

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Was just watching a video from Hasbro about that set and those lightcycles look alright, but are so simplistic that it basically got one rolling wheel in the back and the main body is just a static front wheel with a seat for the rider and the back moving wheel with a two piece shell that clamps around the rider. It looks like it should, but the parts are so simple that it should just be a cheap add on. Maybe twenty to twenty five for one figure and a bike would be alright -

The did do work after the first trailer of the first movie and that one looked pretty good compared to that, but this has been a while since the first teaser for this movie and it doesn’t look like they did much of an improvement if any- 4008 replies

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
mikeszekely replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Retro Outback and Retro Wheelie are up for preorder on Pulse, shipping in March. Looks like wave 1 of AotP and SS for 2026 was shown off. We already had preorders for half the SS wave, it sounds like Windcharger, Skywarp, and Grimlock might go up for preorder tomorrow. Not sure when AotP will be available to preorder. Also not sure when we can order some new stuff that got shown off, like Skybound Optimus Oh, and remember the Hearts of Steel stuff? They're calling that line Timelines, and I have good news and bad. The bad is that they seem to be done with Hearts of Steel. The good is that Timelines is continuing, and they're following the same format of roughly Deluxe-ish two packs starting with Optimus and Starscream. And it turns out, Timelines isn't about a specific comic book or anything. Turns out Timelines is Transformers throughout time... it just happened to be that Hearts of Steel worked for late 1800s. This time they're going to feudal Japan.- 17731 replies

Just got caught up on the show. Lots of other stuff to watch, like the goofy alien show and Black Rabbit and since the first season wasn’t all that great, we decided to watch an bunch of Nightmare on elm street movies for scary season and all, although we should have just stopped at the third movie since they kinda get progressively worse. this season isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely better than the one before. It Bassically starts out as the network tv version of Deadpool 3 as quality, but with cussing and game of thrones nudity. Most of the actors feel like they would have the quality of a 90’s sitcom, with a few exceptions. I kinda feel like it’s more on the scale of quality with Cobra Kai where there’s a couple standouts and a flimsy story, but with just enough heart and humor and occasional cool thing happening to keep me watching. It’s also got that kinda if they only talked to eachother, then there wouldn’t be a situation at all that’s big with Cobra Kai. i think the biggest spoiler here is that Biggest clue that this was an alternate dimension is the Halloween is the biggest band in the world. Here, even amongst hard rock lovin folks they’re barely acknowledged as existing one thing as that while Peacemaker didn’t seem like the show fit in at all with the old dcu, it fells right at home with the silliness and cheapness of the new dcu. Like they won’t have to make the characters act any different at all to fit in the new version of this film and tv universe since everything is goofy

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
Big s replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The whole set doesn’t look worth more than a hundred bucks, just five small figures and two small lightcycles should be only that much, maybe another fifty if they threw in the big flying blocky roboty thingy. It’s not like these are ultra detailed toys, just kinda basic shapes slapped together -

I'd pay up to $100 for the five TRON figures, but I've already got several lightcycles at that scale. I'm not gonna pay another $160 for bikes that other manufacturers have already produced! 🤨 -
