    I Iike it, but at the current price Ill hold off for now. I got the HMR at such a crazy low price, a whopping $65 on Amazon. But eventually Id like one to add cause I like how it stands out from the rest.

    I'm picking up mine tonight.

    not sure if AI/LLM bot-scrapers are heavily scraping MWF right now, but forum's been weirdly slow in response-times. As such, import-pricing is currently down to 27.5k-yen for now at amz-jp as of this posting: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0F62BC2MB . Not as low as the the previous 26k-yen import-pricing or the <22k-yen jp-domestic pricing, but at least it went down from the regular 30k-yen from earlier this afternoon's pricing. fwiw, this particular jp-tweet says it's a "reseller killer" (scalper-killer) due to the current discounting. At least for jp-residents: https://twitter.com/ikayaki9156/status/1982586405751767274 web-translated: If amzn-jp lowered it to below 20k-yen for import-pricing, then it'll be very tempting for me to reconsider biting on it...

    Black Panther 2 was pretty bad, and some of the shows have been worse, like She Hulk, Secret Invasion and Iron Heart. Disney may not have started Star Wars down a crap path, but they’re definitely toxic to every franchise they seem to acquire

    not really sure where else to put this notice for now, but since I preordered the upcoming SDF-1 reissue from them... https://support.hlj.com/hc/en-us/articles/51806261169049-HLJ-Small-Pack-Is-Back-for-US-Customers

    Definitely gonna get this to go with my PF SDF-1.

    I think you could maybe say that about some of the MCU releases, but as bad as some of those got, I don't know if they actually sank to the level RoS dug to.

    I could tell that the figure is a female Crimson Guard from the packaged pics.

    @jenius tides you guys over while waiting for your DX Fire Valk purchases... Also, reckon these HMR VF-19Kai/P have less egregious downward-pointing gunpod when in fighter-mode than the recently released DX Fire Valk, too...

    Watched episode 1 of Welcome to Derry... so far, it's ok. Some shocking & creepy scenes but the creature that may or may not be Pennywise was a mood killer, felt out of place and not what I was hoping for. That said, I'm ready for episode 2.

    Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right really confuses me. Despite the title, it's a squeaky clean romcom. The setting is a modern Japan where various fantasy creatures like vampires are just a part of everyday life. The protagonist hits it off with a vampire girl in his class who is desperately trying to look cool because she's awful at being a vampire. But the series never really bothers to explain how she's survived if she's unable to do the one thing vampires need to do to survive, or if there's an alternative why is she always coming to school so hungry that she can barely participate? (Not much room for romance either when the female lead's basically reduced to the status of a crying infant two or three times an episode.)

    This has been an expensive month between this, the HMR VF-19P, the DX VF-19, and the tariffs.
  19. ValkAddict started following Arcadia SDF-1 Movie version 1/3000 reissue

    Good news for those that are waiting for it. Good luck with the import tariffs though for US customers.

    I wouldn't call it miraculous... I'd call it a difference in working conditions and staffing. Rogue One and Andor are products of studio confidence in a creative team that had a clear and consistent vision for what they wanted to accomplish, and enough non-fans in senior positions to ensure that the focus remained on telling a tight, focused story set in the Star Wars universe. IIRC, Tony Gilroy said at one point that he got all of one note from the studio on Andor and that was that Maarva couldn't drop an F-bomb in her posthumous speech. The Rise of Skywalker came out hot on the heels of two highly contentious Star Wars projects so there was low confidence on the studio side from the outset. The creative team got overhauled right before filming and the incomplete script was being constantly revised during principal photography, so the creative vision was all over the place and couldn't even settle on key plot points like Rey's origin story and the studio was watching and second-guessing everything. A bunch of Star Wars superfans on the creative team probably did not help matters either, but that seems almost trivial in comparison. I'd say the difference between the likes of The Wrath of Khan and Section 31 is about that big. There are Star Wars fans who'll defend The Last Jedi and the Rise of Skywalker. I've yet to meet a Trekkie who'll defend Section 31 even in jest. Warhammer 40,000 also has an example I'd point to with the galaxies-wide gulf in quality between the exemplary Gaunt's Ghosts novel series by Dan Abnett and the near-universally scorned Inquisition War trilogy by Ian Watson, with the latter being infamous for prose so purple it practically flies and eats people and its tendency to make extended digressions into its author's sexual frustration and creepy fetishes. As Bruva Alfabusa once put it: The only reason anyone reads that dreadful tome is bile fascination... wanting to see if it's really as bad as the rumors say. The answer is always "No, it's worse."

    Probably more that they just completely missed this part. Whether that will look any better is still up for grabs though, since it's just dropping the pod even lower. Plus, Bandai didn't make the lower fin under the barrel retract like Yamato's version did. But hey, not even Bandai could remember to unfold that gunpod for some of the poses in the instructions.

    Nothing on any new packaging just yet, but Mr.K just officially confirmed SDF-1 is not delayed and will ship soon: https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/1982592084805828915 web-translated:

    Don’t forget about Lando and his weird sex robot that ended up the brain of the millennial Falcon
  27. nightmareB4macross
    Is it just me or does it seem like this step was either missed, or if the gunpod inadvertently unlocked itself from the boomerang position it’s supposed to be in when in fighter mode.

    Stumbled upon this not too long ago... scheduled for release later this year or Q1, 2026. It's 91cm long!!! https://gerryanderson.com/en-sg/products/eagle-1976
