    Ah, somehow I missed the dedicated For Sale section. I posted it there instead and will close this thread. Thanks!

    Ah, the dreaded two-packs, an unfortunate necessity within the industry. JFS knows most of us bought the 7" McFarlane RoboCop, and the 7" NECA RoboCop, and the battle-damaged variants, and now we need to buy another 7" RoboCop to get a Lewis figure... and yet another to get Toxic Emil. šŸ˜’

    Thatā€™s a great deal! But just so you know, it might be best to place this in the ā€œfor saleā€ threads for better visibility and success of sale. Good luck.

    I was so excited to put it together that orienting the legs properly was not in my thoughts. šŸ˜… Honestly, slipping of the thighs could have been done in a better fashion. They seem to lack friction by being sliced this way. Still a very cool and fun figure.

    I have a tough time watching that one at home. It just doesnā€™t hold up. But if it had a 3D rerelease, I would consider it. Itā€™s one of the most immersive and best use of that technology for film making and such a shame that so much of the feel is lost when it goes into 2D

    Recent Moderoid kits are very simple and require very little in the skills department. As long as you got something to clip out the parts and smooth the nubs, then you can succeed

    yeah, this is the review i was looking at that also compares Intel vs. AMD plus last gen AMD that i linked. review says it's about the same performance as the Ryzen 7 350 AI for this particular laptop. Yeah, i'll pm you if i get another laptop and will ship it to you.

    ^ I am the same. I wish I had modeling skills, but I don't.

    I'd watch Plus first. Mac2's animation was sketchy and stay away from the English dub at all costs. Plus has one of the best dubs out there and the animation is far better overall. Only other item of note is that Plus has the most mature subject matter of any Macross show.

    It might help if I knew a bit more about what kinds of tasks you do besides presentations, and what kinds of games you want to run. On paper, both of those Zenbooks should have similar GPU performance (Arc is slightly more capable, but Radeon is more stable with more mature drivers), both capable of playing most modern games at 1080p low-to-medium. Both also should offer more CPU performance than the Yoga, with the Intel CPU pulling away from the Ryzen by a wider margin. If you do decide to pull the trigger on another laptop shoot me a PM. I'm not sure if she'd actually want it, since she mostly uses her laptop for spreadsheets and web browsing, but that Yoga you already have should still be better than what she's using, so I might be interested in buying it off you if you're not going to use it.

    Re-watching AVATAR on D+. After over 15 years the VFX still holds up, could be released as a new film tbh. Interestingly its the shorter of the three films, probably why its considered the best of the three.

    Somehow I forgot that setting Batocera up properly involves literal days of scraping box art... Aside from that, I'm coming along. I've got the following set up with (nearly) complete North American retail sets (with a smattering of Japanese and European games) with box art for: Atari 2600 Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari Lynx Atari Jaguar Colecovision Intellivision Magnavox Odyssey 2 NES SNES Gameboy Gameboy Color Gameboy Advance Virtual Boy N64 Turbo Grafx 16 Sega Master System 3DO I should also have (nearly) complete sets, but hit my daily scraping limit so box art, for Sega Genesis Sega CD Sega 32X Sega Sega Saturn Sega Dreamcast Neo Geo AES Then, due to storage constraints, I have more curated collections with art for A variety of arcade ROMS that run in MAME TurboGrafx Turbo CD Bandai Wonderswan Nintendo Gamecube As well as curated sets that still need box art for Sony PlayStation Sony PlayStation 2 Sony PSP I've tested at least one game for every included platform successfully, so I know I at least have the emulator cores and BIOS files set up right. I'll start scraping again tomorrow, then I have to wait for my Sinden gun to come so I can see how it works.

    the only laptop i have that is the yoga. I do alot of presentation with power point so i need a touchpad that's reliable on the go. where i don't have to set up a separate mouse. the trackpad is inconsistent on this yoga, i'm looking to possible keep and live with it or swap with another laptop in the same range and get a separate gaming laptop. or get a decent laptop that can do both. this 860m is pretty weak in the ryzen 7 AI 350, i read the prev gen's ryzen7's gpu was stronger. yeah, i might keep it since it was open box for 392 dirt cheap. Azreal and Mike, i was thinking of looking for the intel arc version in the same class since the gpu is much better for gaming. like this one open box is $530: ASUS ZenBook 14 Laptop: 14" FHD+ OLED Touch, Ultra 7 255H, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD or this Ryzen 7 one: Open Box: ASUS ZenBook 14: 14" FHD+ OLED Touch, Ryzen 7 8840HS, 16GB LPDDR5, 512GB SSD $476

    If I were to pick one over the other, Iā€™d definitely pick plus. I like the details and the attention to action. You really get to see whatā€™s happening. 2 does things so quick that you donā€™t really get to see much as far as details and things that seem cool are off screen in seconds if not milliseconds. although, Iā€™d definitely pick 2 over most later macross stuff

    I assume if you leave the pre-order in place, it'll either stay there forever unfulfilled, or they'll charge you in 2-4 years when they finally have stock for you. Well after you don't want it from them anymore.

    JFS007 Set (Toxic Emil + Damaged Robocop)

    With how rough itā€™s becoming for the average hobbyist, maybe we should start a thread to explain the different issues with certain sites and where the best spots for preordering and best spots for shipping or lowest costs overall kind of discussions for our favorite models. Like some just wonā€™t offer Bandai kits while a place like Hlj might not get a guaranteed amount in their shipments or how some items wonā€™t be available to people in the U.S. and options for finding those.

    They are mostly focused on the 1/35 kits, but Iā€™m pretty sure weā€™ll see more 1/24. Keep in mind that they are a slower company and even with 1/35 they usually donā€™t do more than one or two kits a year. Thereā€™s also the Plamax kits in that scale as well, so I think that so far they are trying not to step on each others toes, but Iā€™d say it might be a little bit of a wait for the next larger kit release from either company

    Oddly there is a YouTube guy that immigrated from Britain to the U.S. that has a YouTube channel called Lost in the Pond where he talks about the differences heā€™s noticed from both countries over the years and recently did a video of name changes of movies from the USA to England when they pop up overseas. It was the first time I ever heard there was a different Dennis the Menace comic on that side of the pond. He didnā€™t really have time to go over every movie or anything, just the ones he could remember off hand for the most part. Fun little channel for fun useless information

    Unable to cancel an item!? Yeah, that is sucky! WTH!? What happens if you just leave it? Is restocked (with a fee) or sent automatically?
  27. Dynaman
    I was going to add "and the next story begins" but the pessimist in me had me rewrite it. Though I'm sure some kind of followup project will be coming.

    I'll build my Speed Champions Time Machine today. I really hope KITT will get a release. Never forget. What a missed opportunity. https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/fed813cb-b261-41fd-8dbf-3233a87bca30
