    @Chas I'm still outa reactions, but your Bronco looks awesome! Just say it was painted for after the time bomb went off😁 Thanks for sharing that RARE build with us! @tekering Thank you, I appreciate it! I think that's a good idea with the head lenses. I think white is good; it looks anime accurate actually! That Tomcat is cool! Almost looks like it is a ducted fan model! - MT

    I think most of us would be fine with some part swapping on the VF-22 to make the legs work, unless you figure out some way to get them to collapse.

    Saw this on Pinterest. I really dig it.

    I saw a few clips and yikes. Who is the series made for? The people that go to a West Hollywood farmer's market?? Anyways, I've dropped out of Star Trek since the Picard series. This crap is also killing my love for the original series and movies.

    Saw this last night, love him or hate him, sounds like he's right on the money with this one....

    Haven’t seen the show, but some people have posted awkward clips of the captain having a hard time trying to get comfy in a chair. There’s only like two stand these clips last for several minutes. The Riker maneuver clips for all of tng didn’t last that long. Star Fleet really seems to have gotten desperate for recruitment lately

    Oddly, it’s like some race of robots found a world that was more fantasy based and they armored up and learned magic. Some interesting extras like treasure chests and dragons and enough stuff to set up a shop diorama with all the extra armor and weapons and stuff

    Was kinda wondering if they’d do that, but then again the last time they did a kit smaller than a mg, they did the trash bags. The old ones had rubber covers, so they have done other options in smaller scale before. All they really gave here is a silhouette, so I guess we’ll wait and see.

    Diffrent devisions, diffĂŠrent stratĂŠgie. The HG line for the prise, probably sells ten times more then the Hi-Metal R Line, Besides it has to have more detailing then the 1/35 model kits. If they actually cooperate is another question? I think they killed their 1/20 model line since it might interfere with the HMR line in sales! I think they wanted to release complete units in the HMR Line at the beginning to show that that they can give the collector the complete experience, and not have to chase down expansion packs, which they are known for not rereleasing. I just wish they didn't include the base with the first expansion pack since this seems to be the most expensive part of that set! other weapons or side armaments would have been more preferable. I don't really like the bases that Bandai releases, the seem to be an afterthought! @Graham Have you picked up all of the 5 HMR V.O.T.O.M.S so far?

    As it's an RG, it's likely gonna be small. So my guess is they won't use cloth covers and will just have the joint covers as stylized plastic joints.

    Those garbage bag coverings are definitely not my favorite choice, but I think it wouldn’t be too hard to make custom cloth coverings using them as a base pattern. Still very curious about how they’re gonna handle this release.

    Macbooks have the best out-of-box speaker tuning. I can attest to that. That being said, I'd be using headphones/earbuds regardless. I've been using a personalized audio solution (headphones, earbuds, all sorts of wireless styles) for ages now. Even if I have speakers, I just prefer having my noise blasting straight into my ears these days and blocking out the surrounding space.

    This things seems to be taking forever to get to BBTS. Amazon lists this as supposed to be released on 1/20/26, so hopefully BBTS will get this soon. I will be upset if Amazon gets this out before BBTS. Twich

    Please no more garbage bag coverings.

    @MechTech, you've greatly elevated that ridiculous Shin Musha with a thematically-relevant display case. Remarkable! 👍 Nice save on the Bronco II, @Chas. is that mechanical arm a part of the kit? I'm happy with the color scheme I've settled on for the Bioroid worker, but I don't like the look of the lenses... I couldn't get a painted resin surface to look transparent, so I decided to try a more cel-shaded approach. Maybe I should use silver instead of white...? Oh no, it's merely a static toy, with an ugly stock paint job and infamously fragile landing gear. Mine had to be hung from the ceiling after repainting. It didn't even come with pilot figures, so I had to customize my own... Nonetheless, you won't find a loose one under $1000 USD... or $2000 in its original box!

    Definitely curious about this one not sure if it’s gonna use that garbage bag style plastic covering or if it will just be stylized plastic joints as kind of a redesign like they did with evangelion.

    Now that i had the Predator Helios Neo 14 for a week. The trackpad is amazing. Even with the reseated yoga trackpad, the helios is far and away way better. Tech Youtuber "Just Josh" really likes the trackpad as well as this laptop. The battery life is good. I got about 8 hours time doing various tasks, web service and office work unplugged, screen half the brightness. The keyboard is easy to type on. The worst part of the laptop is the speakers are small. There is no bass. I had spend several hours boosting the audio doing some combination of EQ and using a software to trick the audio to get the speakers loud. One of the common problems is the low volume when gaming and disabling spacial audio solves this issue that plagues the helios 16s version as well as others in the Acer lineup. Finally after 4 hours got the audio tuned to my liking. The Ultra 7 155H runs cooler than an ultra 9 185H, dead silent doing office tasks, web surfing or watch videos and fan noise is mild to medium when gaming is pushing hard. not obnoxious and can easily hear the audio over it. In terms of gaming, the 4070 is a bit stronger than the 2021 Legion 7 w/ rtx 3080 mobile card that fried up. Been testing it with Cyberpunk bench mark at 2560 x1600 94 fps with no raytracing and no frame generation. With DLSS quality no Raytracing. no frame generation, I can get 79 fps with textures setting all on high. Raytracing turned on at 1440p, 47 fps, w/ raytracing lighting on ultra , no frame generation. 93 fps framegen on. 70 fps with Ray Everything Fully on with Frame Gen on at 2560 x 1600 For $565 this was a steal.

    Thanks gents! And Bolt, in your quest for cool kits, also check out an offshoot of the 30MM line, the 30 Minutes Fantasy kits. Instead of mecha, 30MF kits use classes of fantasy characters like warriors, knights, and mages. I didn't pay much attention to them until I saw one on sale and bought it on a lark: This guy is whole head taller than the completed 30MM mech at around 6 inches, and would be in good company with the average 1/12 scale action figure. I had fun building this "Rosan Fighter", and it's given me good practice with panel lining. Gotta love the dad bod on this guy.

    I just wish Bandai would hurry up with releasing expansion sets for the Hi Metal R scopedogs. So far, there is just the 1 set announced. 😅 By comparison, Bandai has already released 8 expansion sets for the HG Scopedog models.
  25. grogall
    No just saw it on X (Twitter) but without comments, If I see more I'll post it! But one way or other I'm sure we will be seeing this officially from Bandai someday...
  26. Graham
    Very interesting. Any details? I would buy those instantly if available.

    Preach!!!!!! A completely new Mirage figure that adheres to the look and basic transformation of G! Mirage is a serious omission, at this point, when all of the other G1 characters' toys have been adhering rather faithfully to an amalgamation of toy and toon forms. Classics Mirage is still the closest we have to that, and I love that toy, front wheel backpack notwithstanding. He's still my G1 Mirage until there's something better. And FFS, make the damned Omnibots already! They're spending budgets on made up Junkions, Weaponizers, creating alt modes for Primes who never had them, and doing deep dives into the lore to make really obscure characters into toys, but the Omnibots were part of G1 as well, even if they never featured in the cartoon, an unfortunate omission IMHO. I think they and Tracks should have all been a team, as they all had weaponized tertiary vehicle modes (MASK before MASK was a glimmer in Kenner's eyes!) and would have possibly started a tangential play theme within Transformers. Had they been utilized as such in the toon and comics, perhaps they would have proven popular and spawned more of the like. We'll never know. I would have been down for it, for one.
