    Well, here they are....the two MOST expensive model kits I have ever or WILL ever buy.....$255 give or take a few cents to get them to my doorstep from HLJ....and that was the CHEAPER of the two ASS RAPE shipping options from them. I'm out. Done. Over it. Never again buying anything overseas until this tarriff madness stops, and the jacked up shipping rates subside, if they ever do.

    Gorgeous @Lolicon! I'm still waiting for my shipping notice - us Canadians usually gets the shaft. I was wondering if anyone on here would be getting it. Are you on the Facebook Tomy sites? The official Tomy site has been censored to be mostly positive, but this site has a lot more complaining, but also more information on fixes; https://www.facebook.com/groups/873995894505608 It seems like Tomy repairs light leaks nowadays with grey putty. There's so much talk on them. Did you see the threads with the water-based white Vallejo putty that people are doing themselves which seem to look better IMO.

    I’m hoping for a newer kit , maybe a Moderoid series or something. Retro stuff seems kinda popular these days

    Yeah, no 9mils. Start 'em with an AMERICAN caliber, specified in inches like God and Browning intended! ... I got a Red Ryder BB gun for my fifth birthday.

    It's all mixed together. I followed the instructions from Aoshima's Priss + Motoslave plamo kit that I have. It's not a very good kit, but it's OOP and expensive these days. The R&D project manager responsible for that kit told me that he wasn't satisfied with how it ended up. It is what it is. I'll build it someday. The instructions for painting Priss's figure calls for a mixture of something like 50% silver, 30% clear blue and 20% indigo blue with Mr. Color paints. What you see is roughly the same, but with V-Color vinyl paints. I picked up a package of pearlescent blue powder at the Winter Wonder Festival with the intention of mixing it with gloss clear V-Color paint, but actually I think it looks fine the way it is. I took a half day off yesterday to enjoy the cherry blossoms with my daughter and have a picnic with her. At night I was planning to do the touch-up brushwork for Priss, but I ended up connecting my Tenacontrols lighting kit for my AMT Enterprise E model kit to a breadboard and figuring out how it works. I'll see if I can get back to Priss tonight instead.

    nothing says celebrate your birthday like having your first pew pew. I remember when my grand daddy plopped me on his knee and he said, "My grandson, my least favorite. That you may be, but on this auspicious day of your continued existence I felt there was nothing better than for you to have your first 9 mil. Wait how old are you?" "5 Grandpa" "yeah close enough." no that didn't happen, but still. .......Like this is not a good idea lol It wasn't a good idea 40 years ago, this isn't a good idea now.

    That is so insanely nice, I really wish I could have justified getting one, but absolutely do not have the space.

    Lovely

    After his latest work I have no problem waiting.

    This Album, especially this song is quite fitting for today's Artemis mission.

    I recently received my Tomy TMP Enterprise and opened her up. She's absolutely beautiful. She's not perfect but for less than 1/20 the price of the FE version, she's quite lovely. The phaser banks and torpedo launchers light up to simulate firing, though I didn't get any pics of that. I'll admit I had TWOK theme playing in my head the entire time I was unboxing her. (Sorry, but TMP is unwatchably boring and just not a very good movie overall.) Here she is out of the box. She's about 3 feet long. The aztec paneling is well done and better than the far more expensive FE Enterprise, if their website pics are accurate. Out of the box unpowered. In spacedock Warp speed My copy has some light leaks around the saucer. I emailed Tomy and they said I could ship it back for repair, free of charge. (Even the FE sample pics on their site has light leaks.) Main deflector Registry The nacelles can be changed to purple for those who want to replicate the look of the real life filming model (I kept mine blue). Impulse dome Bridge Lounge Arboretum (hard to capture on camera) Shuttle bay I'm quite happy with this purchase. She's been put back in her box until I get some new display cases to display her alongside the TOS Enterprise. Don't want my bastard cats messing with them.

    It could definitely use a few more standard markings, but they did add the star under the LEX, it's just a little hard to see from above. It is pretty close to where the Hornet has it, but further back due to the LEX actually being a solid part, and it's better to have it there anyhow so it doesn't get scratched off during transformation.

    woohoo. Isekai nonbiri nouka is back. Nice to see the craziness back.

    I mean, the kid on the right does seem to technically have 5 fingers. Depending on which hand you consider the fingers to belong to...

    It does look nice on display. Just noticed the gunpod has the movie logo stamped on it. I wonder if this will convince bandai and bigwest to do more CF schemes. Not fond the thought of hollywood tax selling well and contributing to the attempts at making this price range the new norm for barebones valk msrp though.

    Maybe they should put the blunts down and focus on the mission

    And the cries of the members of the Mary Jane Association arose in riotous outrage!

    Finally unhooked PSU in new prebuilt enough to see what it is: it's a "High Power HP1-S2850GD-F12S" Can't quite find that EXACT model for rank/review, but the F12S gold series overall is a "B+" in this tier list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview#gid=1078495601

    New human altitude record. They've just passed Apollo 13's high water mark, and are now higher than anyone has ever been.

    Only in 'Merica.

    Just have to wait a whole year!!

    That would be funny if it came bundled with the Blu-ray.

    Saw the movie on the weekend. As others have said it is beautiful animated. The rest of the movie is a series of vignettes to excuse ridiculous pacing, changes in the story and characters and to enable cameos for those in the know (like the mid-forties parents dragging their kids into this movie). All in service for not having any downtime whatsoever. If you like this description you should definitely watch this movie. For me it was too disjointed and had too little room for the characters breathe and develop. I have to go back and watch the first one again because while these elements are their they were less prevalent if I remember correctly.
