  1. Past hour
  2. They’ll probably just overlap. Or they will do the rest as web exclusives. Just hoping they do the cannon fodder one, since that’s really the only one I want
  3. Deathstalker eh? I'll watch it when it comes out streaming. I have fond memories of it - or was it The Sword and the Sorcerer - or a mix of both...
  4. Told my wife I was going to make a yard sign saying “keep your teriffs off my plastic models” lol.
  5. Today
  6. Same boat here.
  7. No that's the thing, I got the trim with RWD. And I already baby it; they put oil and chips on a road near my house and I didn't know it. I was driving 15mph and still wincing every time I heard a stone ping off the undercarriage. So I leased one of those new Dodge Charger EVs that seem to appeal to nobody but me... too electric and AWD for the MOPAR crowd, lacking the comfort and refinement of other EVs in the same price range. But it's dumb fun, it's got AWD, and since Stellantis is a customer of my wife's company I got it for $300/mo, 3 years, and only $1000 down. I upgraded my desktop this year, too, and no regrets there- I'm pretty much always going to prefer playing on a 49” 32:9 OLED. But my wife's mom has some issues trying to get a visa this year, so I'm thinking I might be traveling sooner than later.
  8. Fingers crossed we're still getting all 5.
  9. I have so much stuck there. I'm glad they are suspending the 6th month storage limit, but still... who knows when I'll be able to get my stuff.
  10. Even without the tariff issues, my optimism is low. I'm kinda surprised they are showing the VF-25 when they haven't done all the VF-31s yet. I wonder if they're going to release all the VF-31s rapidly before the first VF-25 release, or if they'll be coming out with overlapping release schedules, or if we just won't get all the VF-31s after all?
  11. So, I know I’m way late on this, but finally watched Logan Lucky. Fun little heist film with some low-key, surprisingly funny bits and scenes.
  12. I admit I thought it was Nicolas Cage acting in this movie, just because of the joke.
  13. A Jesus horror movie with Nic Cage? Sounds completely on brand for the dude, could be fun.
  14. The terrible gaps, the bad proportions, the wrongness of the legs and shoulders...it might be the perfect Robotech toy!
  15. It is good but I built a new PC over buying a laptop as I don't plan on gaming when traveling for work or pleasure. Also, its OK to drive your Porsche in the Winter as it has AWD. I drive my F-Type during the Winter and it handles better than my wife's Subaru in the snow, lol.
  16. It looks bad but I don't think it's a Disney problem. It's late stage capitalism problem. Everything is enshitified, including animation. Lower budgets, hiring less talented/cheaper animators, using algorithms/AI to generate in-betweens and animate, manipulating vectorized images to animate instead of hand-drawing more frames, all that. People of course deny that animation studios even do this stuff, when it's proven they do. They will also swear up and down that anime is just as good as ever, when it clearly looks lifeless and sloppy next to hand drawn cel animation. Strong recency bias with anime fans these days.
  17. It's a minor detail that comes up in a conversation between Ripley 8 and the doctors in the Auriga's mess hall when Dr. Gediman doesn't know what "the Company" means. "Weyland-Yutani. Ripley 8's former employers. Terran growth conglomerate. They had defense contracts under the military. Oh they went under decades ago, Gediman, way before your time. Bought out by WalMart." - Dr. Wren
  18. I put a shipping order together at least a few weeks ago. Just got the shipping notice the day before yesterday. So at least I'm getting a few things . But I've got a lot more stuff now languishing in limbo at hlj..
  19. Lock him in a small room and don't let him near anything that he can write with...
  20. Wait... W-Y is defunct? I must have missed that when I saw Resurrection.O.o
  21. Reads @jenius’s Tread review. Looks at the score given. Nods head in agreement. One little thing I’m not sure anyone has pointed out yet: the head of the Tread peaks out just a smidge ever so slightly up in combo mode. Not glaringly obvious. But it’s most likely due to the bomber cockpit being inside the chest for the combo mode.
  22. I wish they had reached out to customers about the freeze happening before it was enacted so folks in the USA could clean out their private warehouse, but it is what it is. Shrug emoji. Lol
  23. Oh, dang dude! So sorry you got hurt. hoping for a quick recovery for you.
  24. I’m glad I decided to have HLJ ship my models a few weeks ago, since they sent out a notice yesterday that they are halting shipments to the U.S. while they figure out how the new tariff process will work. I requested the shipment via EMS on August 8, they shipped it on August 16 (it was actually accepted on August 18), and it arrived on August 25. Of course, a number of other items have arrived since I requested the shipment, but HLJ says they will hold things indefinitely in the Private Warehouse until the tariff process is resolved.
