I don't think that 1/55 VF-1D will ever get released. The HMR Tomahawk and Phalanx would probably get released before any Bandai 1/55's.

I don't think a lot of people were able to order Cosmos the first time so I hope there is a reissue.- 16288 replies

The 'Hey look at this really cool model build I saw' post
electric indigo replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
This is a true gem: -
Not sure about Indonesia but it's a USA retail release. Multiple US retailers that don't offer proxy service or imports already have them up for pre-order.

Thanks for posting those. I wanted to do a Hi-Metal R review but I checked my Dual Model review for reference and discovered that it was not complete and what was there wasn't 100% correct. So then I pulled out all of those toys and now I have a great review of a toy no one has been concerned with for decades and still no review for the relevant toy. Sigh. The HMR is still high on my 'to-do' list.

That's a nice car, and now you've opened the door to a lot of other liveries, including teams for other sports.

arbit replied to Shawn's topic in Model kits
Yeah, you have to give him credit. But it is tough to achieve. I wonder what would be the set up to get a result like that safely. -
Yup, its not retail release here, at least not in Indonesia. It is being treated exactly like a P-Baindai item, the difference is that they can sell it overseas, unlike the VT-1.

Macross Plus Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Release Thread
Chronocidal replied to sh9000's topic in Movies and TV Series
I'm not going to claim to be any sort of expert on animation production requirements in Japan, but I could see it potentially being some annoying limitation of the contracts involved in the transfer of the footage of both versions into an HD format. The other thing that occurs to me is that maybe the rights to the dub are somehow tied to the combination release, and they don't have permission to release them separately, or that it doesn't make financial sense to try selling them individually. It would be silly, but I could imagine the voice rights being so prohibitively costly that the OVA on its own would already cost nearly as much as the combination pack.- 102 replies

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series

I think this is the best response to the show so far. People shouldn’t over read into this because of layers of stupidity that will fold and unfold as the show goes on -
Macross Plus Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Release Thread

Possibly because it hasn't had a stand alone blu-ray release in Japan?- 102 replies

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
kajnrig replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Poor writing and fanfiction aren't synonymous. Some of the best - heck, arguably THE best - parts of Star Wars are for all intents and purposes just "elevated" fanfiction. It IS poorly-written, though, that much is true. Or at the very least, it's muddled writing. Unclear. Imprecise. It seems to want to depict the Jedi as well-doing sages... but more often than not it shows them imposing themselves on others. It seems to want us to empathize with the witch coven... but it shows them being antagonistic and collectively a bit overquick on the figurative draw. It seems to want us to think of the personal drama between Osha et al as just that: dramatic... but more often than not it shows everyone kind of just talking past each other. The acting feels wooden, and I can only suspect that this was a result of the directing... or show-running... or something beyond the ability of the actors themselves to change, because I've seen better from all of them. (Or at least all of them that I recognize.) The sisterly relationship doesn't have any of the wrinkles, nuances, etc. that you see from real siblings, much less twins. I see that the actresses who played Young Mae and Osha are actual twins, and it would have been nice to see them maybe inject some of their real-life experience as such into the roles. Or tweak the script here and there to show as much. Have them be extra empathetic to each other. Have them able to predict the other's behaviors. Have them be increasingly perturbed by their lack of unity over their future. Let the actors chew the scenery a bit more than not at all. On the other hand, I suppose The Acolyte is again only following the lead of the prequel movies. Still doesn't make it okay, though.
