    Must be my apparent youthfulness talking (😅), but I'm not sure "kids" and "young" are words I'd use to describe the Star Wars: the Clone Wars fandom. Unless, of course, it were in a sentence like "they probably have young kids by now". Tales of the Underworld is aimed at people who were tweens and teens when The Clone Wars came out... almost 17 years ago. Musings on whether 30 really is the new 20 aside, the Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld series is very much a Star Wars series by and for the most die-hard of Star Wars fans. It doesn't really have anything for the casual audience because its stories are so heavily dependent on fanservice. Both stories feel like they were written more to pad out the Wiki pages for their respective characters than because there was anything worthwhile to do with the characters. Worse even than the usual Filoni fanservice-first halfassery.

    Just as an aside, I'm not exactly sure when Eurovision went from a kind of British standard for laughing at those silly Europeans to some kind of adopted national treasure, but its curious how it sort of parallels how "Doctor Who" was treated later in its life to now... 😄

    If they didn't have faith in the show, it would never have been on HBO to begin with. I do think it's likely that it was a bigger hit than expected, so they asked for more seasons than 2 or 3.

    Just my theory, but situations like this tell me that HBO didn't have a lot of faith in The Last of Us and gave the production a restricted budget to get everything in Game 1 made all in one season. (HBO with fingers crossed, they would get their investment back.) Now that the series was a huge hit, HBO is like here's the company platinum credit card, spend as much as you like and a few more seasons! Sadly, who really wants a season's worth of Abby as the central figure?

    My (half) brother is 27. Ahsoka is his favorite character and he loves all the animated stuff. Pretty much the only SW media he consumes. I haven't talked to him about this latest show, but I'm sure it's the kind of thing he'd enjoy.

    Let’s be realistic, they’re probably mostly the parents of the 20 something’s that were trying to introduce Star Wars to their younglings. They’re probably still trying with the grandkids though

    Yeah this new CG movie is looking better then the newly announced live action movie, the anthology-style time period thing really has my interest.

    Finally found some old poly caps that fit the gunpla hands I want to use on the ARII super Gerwalk. Slapped them in with some milliput and will cover with some pla later. Also cut sections off a runner to make some generic “verniers”. More like tubes I suppose lol. They are rough looking and will need to be trimmed down and shaped a little bit once glue cures. Excited to add some details to this tiny old kit.

    Awesome! Congrats on breaking in the new and improved space. Feels good

    20s is young.

    That "young crowd" is strictly imaginary. This is a spin-off from a 2008 TV series. Anyone familiar with these characters in their original context is likely at least in their mid-20s.🤣

    So, they've now announced there will be a 4th season. I'm confused as to how the first game was covered in one season, but they need three seasons for the second game.

    Looking really good.

    I find no airbrush lube works well, they all suck and my triggers kept sticking... UNTIL I found an old tiny little bottle of gun cleaning lube my dad had which I still use inside my handguns, one drop 💧 of THAT on all my triggers and ZERO stickiness anymore! 😁 In other news, I finally got to break in the new inside workbench and airbrush inside (Vallejo Model Air Only inside) 100% acrylic so no fumes) soooo nice to be able to spray small stuff in the AC! Especially in TX! 😁 Got the Strike Eagle 🦅 mottled and ready for big boy paint outside this weekend!

    Yeah, but do the kids like it? I accept that the animated stuff is made for a young crowd and I just skip it. Outside of Visions.

    Well said

    any reviews yet? i'd like to see the changes that were mentioned by the waist/legs that the vf-0 armor is no longer compatible with this valk.

    HobbySearch took payment for the 0A today so glad to see it'll be shipping soon.
  25. jenius
    Right on for doing that!

    Bleh, the shipping issues are real. ThreeZero just told me they can't ship me two tiny parts to fix my Focker 1S toy until the US rescinds its tariffs. Woof. I hope this gets resolved before the Glaug hits.

    I encountered the issue with the Sentinel Legioss peg breaking on the stand while on display. Checked with Sentinel based on the info a few pages back. Got a response but seems they don't have the spare parts in warehouse now to cover a replacement. I've added a file to Cults to be able to 3d print a replacement part. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/sentinel-riobot-legioss-stand-adapter-peg

    I was expecting structure arts trading kits, but I kinda figured they’d be further down the line. I loved their Front Missions kits and I’ll probably get these since they’re starting with more classic designs and hopefully they show some improvements since this will probably be their third line. first set is a box of four kits at Hobbysearch was showing for about $80, Hlj has em for $94, but I figure shipping and taxes and such will probably play a bit here and there. some entertaining accessories and of course different ways to customize em. figure I’d start a new thread since they weren’t Kotobukiya kits and I couldn’t find an alternative section for them. I’d imagine that they’re probably gonna make quite a few sets since they did so many for front missions and Armored Core seems a bit more popular these days.
