    Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota is cute, but doesn't really seem to be going anywhere story-wise... which is a bit disappointing. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess feels like it's determined to take at least one shot at every overused otome character trope and plot device. It's a bit predictable in that regard, though it definitely lands (mostly) in affectionate parody territory.

    Where did you manage to get it that cheap? $215 is like a normal price.

    The 30% charge is not an upcharge, that is supposed to be based on country of manufacture, which is China, and that is 30%. It's just that other places are cool and marking it Japan instead. But the base price they're charging for DHL/FedEx, etc.. they absolutely are marking up now. I had an Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Mafex figure that was the first thing to ship once HLJ would ship to the use again and the base DHL price was the same as it always was for years (2300 yen), just with the 15% (for some reason on that item) and the small processing fee. The next week it was suddenly 4800 yen for the base price and when I asked about the change I was chewed out and they refused to respond afterward.

    I'm curious if they (Arcadia) are going to update the box art on the toys, it would be cool to see something newer to break it out from the prior releases.

    You can never kick yourself over that...your deal is very good, compared to the future US release prices!! Consider it a win!! Using the Buyee proxy there is a 500 yen service fee, then international shipping of course (but usually you bundle it with other things in your private 30 day warehouse)

    So I noticed this seemingly unintended byproduct of the neck-cover storage from that pic and from Motoki Hiroyuki's tweet earlier: https://x.com/Coo3bunchou/status/1981894172102873460 edit: check out the mini-video from his tweet also regarding the shoulder-speaker mechanism reveal...

    That’s actually what I noticed before the jeep. First was the big Queadluun Rau, then I spotted Max giving chase, then the crew in the door. I kinda thought it was just some debris until I looked closer and realized it was a jeep. A lot going on in that little hallway

    They already are. Look in the doorway between the suit's feet. I know. Gotta keep dreaming the big dreams!

    Man, and I thought I got a good deal for 31800 Yen. Is that through Yahoo Japan? Does it include any additional seller fees?

    At least the good news is that these fire valks are seemingly going under msrp I picked up one for $187...and with the 15% tariff that comes to $215, which is ok for a DX I think these will all settle down low to mid 20k range in the future.

    yeah...that sdf-1 I ordered is going to be parked at HLJ for a long long long time. I was hoping THAT one would get delayed!!

    Just finished A House of Dynamite. Pretty intense film. Just not sure how I feel about that ending.

    Other than wanting original show/DYRL Zentran and Meltran ships to go with the available SDF-1 kits... I'm sort of thinking that other Macross/SDF type ships from later series have the best shot at getting kits from Hasegawa or whoever? I apologize, I don't know all the ships that well, but stuff like Macross Quarter, Macross Frontier, Elysion, Grasion, Megasion, etc. I'd love a Macross Cannon from Macross II but... unlikely.

    Cool posters, I'm gonna make a trip to the Atomic Testing Museum here in Vegas, they're doing an official Bethesda Exhibition for Fallout there starting November 14. https://www.ign.com/articles/fallout-is-getting-an-official-bethesda-backed-exhibition-complete-with-easter-eggs-at-the-national-atomic-testing-museum-in-las-vegas

    Eh... I don't think there's any saving The Rise of Skywalker. No amount of spackling over the sequel trilogy's constellation of plot holes with moon logic and fanservice will ever make that transition between 8 and 9 feel less like the kind of shift that leaves you picking gear teeth out of your oil for a fortnight. Turns out when Palpatine was telling Anakin how the Dark Side was a pathway to unnatural things, he meant plot developments. I mean, c'mon... they literally replaced the main villain twice in quick succession. Kylo Ren offs Snoke like 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through The Last Jedi and by the next film has proven ineffective to the point that he's summarily replaced by a 119 year old literal corpse who can't even get out of his chair. Honestly, that's the dumbest part of Kylo Ren. He's not even original. If I had a nickel for every time Han Solo's son grew up to become a whiny emo kid who turns evil and starts cosplaying as Darth Vader because of questionable mentorship, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. I have to hand it to pre-Disney LucasFilm though, giving their version a name that conveyed how truly stupid and useless the idea was. They probably meant for his name to mean "Slaughter" or "Murder" (Caedes) but they apparently couldn't be arsed to pick up a Latin dictionary because the word they used was "Caedus" (lit. "can be cut down"). In short, he was Darth Expendable. Yeah, he was. He was a grunt trained as a mortarman and got a medical discharge. Reality and dramatic fiction play by different rules. In the real world, a total badass can look like anything... even a cartoonish mug. In fiction, you want characters to look a certain way that communicates aspects of their personality or character that you don't have time to communicate verbally. A strong character should have a big upper body, an evil one should have an unsettling look, that kind of thing. John Boyega's character may have been trained from childhood to be a soldier, but his role in the story was comic relief for the most part. He's meant to be a bit of a loser among stormtroopers, who are memetic losers for the most part. So not having the appearance of a hardbitten soldier works for him. Especially since he spends a lot of the first film as the plucky comic relief whose very expressive face is best used to convey his outrage and dismay at the latest inconvenient thing happening to him. He's actually a pretty good casting choice, IMO... though it is a shame his character got shortchanged so badly.

    I think it actually looked far better animation wise. The hand drawn look always appears better than the simplified cg almost AI look of the majority of modern anime

    Wasn’t he a marine or something? Anyway, I didn’t mind him at all in the first of those movies. And he seemed far less nerdy than Boyega who was supposed to have been a life long soldier.
