    GFFMC RX-78-2 FRGMT available at the New York Tamashi Nations store for $360. Kinda steep.

    Beck Bennett is in this? I miss that guy on SNL, he was great!

    Holy crap you utter dipshits, Nintendo.. at least COVER THE FREAKING SCREENS. Why the everloving crap would you pack it with the screen facing the exterior with no crush space? Not to excuse the stupidity of stapling receipts to boxes, but if the stores have adopted that as standard procedure for electronics sales, maybe you need to look at packaging standards for fragile electronics products.

    Time for me to harp on the dumbness of the official sizes of Macross ships again... 1 - can we first agree that the Gefion is a variant of the Northampton-class frigate, and that the two ships are the same size? These are both official game models, stripped of their textures. When scaled to the same size, they overlap line by line *everywhere* except for the obvious bits (different armament and the flight deck pods), This includes the whole bridge section, the wing pods, the AA turrets, and the secondary turrets. (Curiously, the primary turret is slightly smaller on the Gefion). This is what an official scale VF-25 looks like on the flight deck of the 250 meter long Gefion. As you can see... this does not fit. You *may* be able to squeeze the thing through with some grease, but as we will see in a moment, no grease is needed in the game. And no amount of grease in the world would get that König Monster into that hangar aperture, that isn't happening. This is a screenshot I took in Macross 30 a few years back, when I first played it. That is a VF-0D standing on the rear flight deck, and while I didn't get close enough to the opening to really double down on it, it looks very much to me like the thing will walk comfortably through that arch. Now, how tall is a VF-0D? The official specs never said. And when there *were* official specs given (in Macross Chronicle, no less), the height given (14 meters) was too short for the official *length* of the beast to make any sense. according to Macross Mecha Manual. The calculated minimum height of the VF-0 is 16 meters, and M3 gives it as 16.25. How tall is the arch? Well, at the official 250 meter length of the ship, that arch, in the 3D model, is *just* shy of 4.75 meters tall, but we'll call it 4.75 because I don't want to deal with more decimals. *IF* the VF-0D is the "canon" height of 14 meters (which as mentioned makes no sense); then the ship has to be *at minimum* 3 times the size in order to fit the robot through the hole that we can see it can walk through. If it is the more reasonable 16.25 meters, it's at minimum 3.5 times the official length, and the robot would be scraping its head laser on the roof if it walked anywhere but the center of the arch. At four times the official size, we reach 19 meters arch height, at which point most non-Zentran, non-Monster battroids can walk through it. This is the Gefion scaled up to 400%, or 1000 meters overall. The König monster fits comfortably. Battroids can walk through the rear arch. I am basically convinced that this is the size the ship is presented as in the game itself even if it never states this outright. In summary: The Gefion, as shown in Macross 30, using all the scaling evidence available, is presented as being somewhere between 750 meters and 1000 meters in overall length, very likely on the larger end of that spectrum; and because the Northampton is basically the same model in too many details to discount, it too must be of a similar size. Which, by the way, makes Operation Stargazer a whole lot more reasonable as you could actually fit all those 43 fighters without gutting the whole ship.

    Batman looks set for the crash position. I would not buy it.

    How articulated are these little buggers?

    Oops. Just noticed that the framing around the VF-0S was incorrect. Adjusted and new pic posted.

    Ordered one of each. Which isn't super helpful as I like to get 3 of each. But I'm likely to get all mine local since HLJ rarely comes through for me. I still haven't gotten any of the Max/Miria VF-22s I ordered.

    I wonder what these would be like inside a PC case. It looks short enough to fit standing in between my video card and PSU hood.

    Really wish Arcadia would do a new ghost.

    Do you use a camera or your phone to take these pics?

    Congratulations - you did dodge a bullet - people have been getting all kinds of madness from Amazon in recent times.

    Yeah, agreed on the microwave on both points. Just use it for making popcorn or warming food up so I'm right there anyways. Also, cramming more tech in it probably causes issues I'm sure. My previous 22 year old GE Profile microwave was fine till it had mechanical issues so ended up replacing it.

    It already has the Metal Structure version beat in terms of articulation.

    I love being able to preheat the oven while I'm at the store getting the kids their corn dogs or whatever. My fridge has wifi but I never even bothered to set it up. The advantium microwave oven is set up but I've never used it. They should add a reset feature to the apps though because sometimes the microwave gets itself in a bizarre state and needs a reboot.
  20. PsYcHoDyNaMiX
    Agreed. Definitely another center piece.
  21. TangledThorns
    Went high tech with new kitchen appliances as our new GE Profile microwave and range oven are App and WiFi connected. Don't see need for it with the microwave but being able to preheat my oven without having to get up from my desk or couch is convenient feature.

    Preordered Wolverine vs Silver Samurai x2 at Hasbro Pulse.

    $500 for a console... I must be out of touch these days, lol. EDIT: Oof https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-switch-2-screen-punctures-ruin-launch-day-for-fans-due-to-store-receipts-stapled-into-consoles-box

    Nah, this is merely boring... not nauseating. Probably would've been better to give it an actual title instead of a literal placeholder though. Never mind little technical matters like actually developing the characters, having the story focus on them, making the designs visually appealing, etc.... What GQuuuuuuX has is a theoretically interesting concept that is massively, MASSIVELY let down by sloppy and lazy execution.

    It might be an expensive model kit, but I think it is a way better proposition compared to the Metal Structure.

    I caved….so wow was really surprised it was still in stock on my lunch break cause Targets inventory check online was really accurate. Supposedly they have 5 more bundled variants left, lots of the standards. initial thoughts, it’s big, it’s kind of heavy. The joycons are bending at the main body like I thought they would and that’s an issue I had with the original console. However my thought of accidentally pushing the release buttons has been forgotten. You gotta push a fairly noticeably big button on each to get them to dislodge. but right now that’s about all I can say. I really haven’t been able to try anything cause it’s taking forever to download the blasted update on company guest wifi.
