Wave FOUR? They're still taking pre-orders for the first wave, and that was announced over a year ago... 🙄 Heck, BBTS listings still have a "Prototype Images Disclaimer" attached, since we don't even know what the production figures will look like. Still, Star Trek has always embraced an optimistic view of the future, so I suppose it's on-brand for Nacelle to keep forging ahead and hope for the best. 😅

I'm just waiting around for them to get to more of the Batwing designs, personally. I never really cared for any of the designs past the classic 89, which they nailed pretty well. I'd really love to see a Forever or TAS Batwing in the same rough scale as that newer Forever Batmobile though. Shame they couldn't make the 89 Batwing to the same standard though. It really needs a redesign to bulk up the body and streamline the cockpit, probably using something closer to the UCS A-Wing, or even the old TV Batmobile canopies.

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
tekering replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hopefully into a modern age of detailed sculpts and articulation, unlike the vast majority of 5POA retro crap that continues to dominate the 3.75 scale. 😒 -
I started this about 7-8 years ago. As I was cleaning out stuff to sell, I saw it and totally forgot I had even started it. Nevertheless, I just printed some parts for replacing. I gave other major things to do, but the work has begun.

I share your affliction! I lament my near lack of display space, as the toys keep coming and I find I need be ever more judicious with my purchases, taking both quantity and size into account. Toys are the nexus of my life, and it stings a bit to have to scale back b/c I'm running out of room in my house for them all.

I think 1/55 Armored Valkyrie will be next. 😁

Excellent poses and pics!

Wave 3 and 4 sneak peeks.

I still haven't taken my DX YF-21 or YF-19 out of their boxes but I made sure that both were in good condition. I need to take them out when I get a chance. I have too many toys.

I agree for the most part. Really expected more and didn’t even realize that this was the last episode. I was kinda ok with the show until I heard that.

Of the three Batmobiles, the BvS is my favorite design and, IMHO, the worst execution among the three sets. I think the designers did a far better job capturing the B&R and The Batman Batmobiles. I'll still get the BvS and The Batman sets, but I think I prefer the original BvS Batmobile set (76045) they released in 2016. This new set has a lot more sculpting, but after consulting my BvS Tech Manual which discusses the development of the movie's various props, with all the parts at their disposal, being a collector of the Speed Champions line, and having looked at a few MOCs, I just don't feel like they captured the car very well, or at least not as well as I would have expected, especially given what they've accomplished with the SC line. Too, in an interview, the designers discussed eschewing the OG two-part canopy elements in preference of just using the regular one piece curved windshield. Personally, I'd have rather they used the two-piece canopy which was more authentic and designed specifically for this Batmobile. Obviously, the old set is simplified, but I think it captures the shaping better than the new set. YMMV. Since they seem to be cranking out more and more media related Batmobiles, I'm hoping there's an Arkham Asylum Batmobile in the works and that they make it every bit as excellent as 2021's Tumbler set (76239). Furthermore, I hope they put every ounce of effort into imbuing it with all of its functions and details. That would make for an extraordinarily fun model to build and play with. I never cared for the Clooneymobile, and honestly, this set isn't selling it to me, either. OTOH, it might make for a good parts set. FWIW, I think the designers did a good capture of the overall look. The car itself was just never to my taste.

The new deals with hg came up a while after the Bandai 1/72 kit and most of the og Macross toys get a Japan only label, but the toys are at least available at other sites

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
M'Kyuun replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I really wish they were purposely emphatic and unambiguous about announcing PO times; it would make life easier for everyone and give members, like me, some validation for purchasing said membership. I don't understand why, as in the past, they don't initiate POs for stuff shown that day, future product notwithstanding, following the stream instead of piecemealing the POs out over multiple days, which not only becomes confusing but also may pose a hindrance if you have plans. I rarely have plans, but it just so happens we're taking my mother-in-law out to lunch tomorrow and I'm hoping we'll be done eating before POs come up. Actually, I'm hoping to be home, as I hate trying to make purchases on my phone- much easier on my desktop. Anyway, huge thanks for the info, Mike. You're awesome.- 17733 replies

While it has its flaws, it's still a pretty decent toy and if your preference is to display in battroid, the DX makes for a superior display model over the old skinny-legged, wobbly-hipped Yamato, IMHO. Congrats on the find, on a great price, and on being the owner of an unblemished copy. I hope you enjoy it! 👍

I had actually picked up a 2nd copy when I was checking around during prime deals day. It wasn't one of the prime deals, but seeing it was 180, I still got it. Even with the replacement I got from Bandai, on closer inspection of the replacement parts, the head laser was still slightly bent and the canopy hinge still had cracks in it. So I will keep my original one in battroid mode with the blacked out canopy in use. The new one I got was perfect. No cracked canopy hinges, no cracked anything, as far as I can tell on initial inspection and no stress marks or bends on the head laser.

Yeah I got to admit, that was the laziest piece of writing for a finale as you could possibly get. As if Gunn just had no idea how to finish it and just randomized everything. I thought there was gonna be a big battle or something.

So this is what it means when you do an Impulse buy? 😁 https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15621/?wovn=en https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2771765/

I will give credit to Gunn for introducing me to some fun little rockers. Nothing on the level of Band Maid from Season 1, but the immature idiot in me enjoyed “F@&king My Heart in the Ass.” And the line “And God knows I’ve had some rough f&@king years” and that whole Foxy Shazam intro song really ties well with this season and has a sneaky resonate message.

You've been pretty lucky I guess. Out of the entire HG 1/100 Macross line, the entire Armored Core VI line, every RG and MG for the last 2 years... I haven't gotten a single pre-order filled at initial release. I did manage to get a stash of 6 VF-22 Max/Miria decal sets, not sure how I got so lucky. I think I got 1 YF-29 Max, 1 YF-21, and 1 Fire Valkyrie way after release. Gundam stuff just never gets filled so I wind up canceling the orders when stock turns up local. I think I got 2 of the Armored Core kits well after release. And yes, it does look like HG has rights to original Macross characters and mecha worldwide outside Japan. Still, that isn't stopping other companies from making kits, and Bandai had their own 1/72 VF-1 a while back, and I think they are still doing the pre-completed VF-1 toys? I'll get the Wave 1/100s if I need to, but I'd rather Bandai do a series. Especially since the Wave kits available now are just movie versions.

That was the finale????!!!!! I thought there was gonna be at least another episode or two. That is crappy if it was the finale.

Maybe it's an alt Flag, Sr.? But yes, if I were to nitpick....his character seems not to be consistent with his character from Creature Commandos......
