    Instead of expensive, conspicuous goggles why not spend like half or less on XReal or Viture glasses and use them with the laptop/phone/tablet you likely already own? I use mine with my ROG Ally all the time to get some gaming in while my daughter is in her dance classes. That's why I'm struggling with stuff like the Apple Vision Pro and Samsung Galaxy XR. Meta already brought affordable VR to the masses, and XReal/Viture/Rokkid are providing more affordable, lighter, less conspicuous ways to use XR on existing platforms and devices.

    Oh Man! I just want the figures but I agree they will be really hard to paint especially the eyes at that scale!!!

    $120 USD (not including taxes and whatever else). Still up for grabs one hour and 45 mins of going live.

    I'm sort of assuming the box art for VT-1D will be representing the camping scene, so maybe the lighting will make sense in context? I do miss the Hidetaka Tenjin art though. The VF-11 w/ booster rocket box art isn't bad.

    It really doesn't seem like there are any connection features to accomodate the sound booster... Also gotta wonder if those shoulder holes are cosmetic or if they are deep enough to hold the 19P's speaker fins.

    Indeed! The Wave 1/72 VF-171 series was very welcome. Would be nice if they'd add a battroid selection but I'm not holding my breath. Even moreso I'd like them to finally do a 1/72 & 1/100 Destroid Spartan. Max Factory seems to be nearing the end of what they can do with the VF-1 (still need Max and Miria VF-1J though), so Macross 7 seems to be the next focus. Will be interesting to see what Bandai does with the HG line once the VF-31 and VF-25 variants are released. That will take a while though. Hoping they will do VF-11. Not sure what else they would consider. Maybe Macross 7 since the Max Factory stuff is 1/72, and the HG line is 1/100. Would be nice to see VF-19 and VF-17 variants in the HG line. I guess they still have the option to dip into Macross Zero (VF-0) as well. And lastly, maybe adversaries from Macross Zero (SV-51), Macross Frontier (VF-27), and Macross Delta (SV-262). The adversary option could be the most exciting. Hasegawa is where I really see some gaps I want filled. 1/48 YF-21. 1/48 VF-1D. 1/48 VT-1 and VE-1 would be amazing. 1/72 YF-21 battroid. 1/72 VF-11 battroid. And I know it's not likely, but I'd welcome new plastic kits from Macross II, from any company.

    Seeing that the Z2 Extreme is only a modest improvement, that's probably for the best. Already mentioned Content Consumption. Long duration usage is a tough pill to swallow because having that thing on your head gets tiring (2-3 hours, max).

    That'd make a pretty short film, wouldn't it? He dies, and his spirit inhabits a clone body and that's all she wrote. Pretty much the same as in those terrible old novels. He dies, his ghost goes to possess a new body that immediately starts falling apart because of his evil dark side magic, lather, rinse, and repeat. That would've made the tantrums feel a bit less undignified.

    Will give them credit, I think I do like the proportions of this one's nose section better than the Yamarcadia (better shape of the neck/LEX, and it makes the nose look longer), but this thing looks like a genuine frankenvalk. There is so much Yamarcadia DNA here, I don't know what to properly call it. So much of this looks directly copied, it's kind of insane. The landing gear look straight up identical (minus the paint, of course ). I think they did a bit better with the knee extension, but then again, the Yamarcadia didn't really need the sliding covers for the Fire Valk, just the YF-19. Bring on the Yamcadai DX! Though, moreso, bring on the rest of the VF-19 series. I'm still waiting for someone to make a white and black VF-19F.

    Thanks so much. There are plenty of small mold lines that I had overlooked somehow and the gloss makes them more evident. Luckily they are in rather inconspicuous areas. 😓

    Thanks guys! @Thom I didn't know Trumpeter was doing kits like that now. They must have gotten smart and got on the band wagon! Yours came out great!!! @Papa Rat Your knight looks terrific! Finishes like that are a PAIN to pull off and yours looks great! @SteveTheFish WOW! BIGTIME FLASHBACKS! I had and built that kit back in the 80's! One of the advantages of living near Little Tokyo, LA. If any parts are warped, some hot water should make them pliable to shape. I loved that kit, but lost it over the years. It has GREAT detail on it too. - MT

    Looks Awsome. The articulation sounds good as well.

    I would absolutely hate a remake of the original. For the time it was and the graphics, it's fine. I don't even know how you could re-edit the film to make it faster paced, I felt the pace was just fine, it was just corny for the era. If pace was the problem I feel like what junked it up was Flynn and the whole Recognizer sequence. Some of the older films casts are asking at conventions for people to go see the movie pretty hard in the last 2 weeks. Bruce Boxleitner is out really trying to push for people to see it. I can understand, he was pretty disappointed when they all signed a 2 picture deal and Disney backed out. The weird thing is, I don't consider Legacy to of been a bomb at all. I think I saw that film at least 3 times, and the first two times I watched it the theater was packed and I saw it 3D and then IMAX. I looked at the numbers, I dunno if it's triggered with inflation or not, but 170 million budget and it did 400 million world wide, to me, that's pretty dang good.

    Thanks. Here’s a couple photos in natural light. Still not as brilliant as in person. ✨

    B-Day pix! All hail Queen May'n! Look at the amount of meat! XD

    Evil version of Delta, except they're evil in the moneymaxxing sense and make all their pilots have animated ads
  22. pengbuzz
    I wonder if they could re-edit it to pick up the pace a bit, like Robert Wise did with ST: TMP Director's Edition?

    Not mine, but funny all the same: Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/3h87g5/knights_of_ren/

    Yeah, not bad for little 'shake'n'bake' kits. Rey cool! Always a generous offer @SteveTheFish, just like in the old days! And that is looking good @Papa Rat! The gold and the accent colors really work well together.

    All they had to do was completely refilm the Last Jedi to include Palpatine's resurrection, having that be the real story of the entire film, basically turning the entire opening crawl of RoS into its own screenplay. In fact, I consider the Last Jedi as a lost film that, when finally found, would seamlessly and without rush, tell a beautiful tale of the battle between good and evil. In another dimension...

    I frakking missed Red Hood, fun.

    The articulation is good. Knees are double jointed, hips are ball joints, arms and shoulders have plenty of rotation as well as forward back/up and down motion. Feet and ankles are ball joints, skirt armor all move independently except for large rear section. Head is almost complexly static, and waist rotation swivels left to right. Claws on rear of forearms open close and fold to allow for more freedom of movement. This kit has way more articulation than I had expected. Hope that helps?
