    My point still stands, DX's for MSRP.. where? Can I get a Hikky 1J TV for MSRP? (No in all seriousness? this is the only one I don't have currently) How about a Max TV 1A? Fast Packs? TV Fast Packs? Any of that near MSRP? But putting that aside.. we have a thread for DX toys.. this is not it. MW has this habit of poo-pooing on anything not Bandai.. I'm tired of it. I cared when I was younger then I grew up.. just sayin.

    Your joking right? MSRP DXs if you get in on an early preorder. I don't think I have managed that once. $200 nets you both the KC VF1 and the fast packs in comparison to $250+ for the DX VF1 and another $150-200 for the DX fast packs. I could understand this argument if they were both in the same price point.. but they are not even close. I bought in on the KC line for the SD Valks.. and then went for the 1/72 releases because they have impressed me. I have yet to see KC not address a problem when brought to their attention, both this thread and the 1.0 thread have examples of this. Anyone have any luck with Bandai?... anyone?... Buehler? I'm personally late to the DX game, and the KC 1/72s are no DXs, but they also sell for 1/2 the price. The scary thing for the Bandai Fans to admit is that KC has gotten better with each release.. so not a DX .. yet

    Pre-order is up for a Rick Hunter 1S with or without fastpacks. Assuming this is a V2 release of the Fokker 1S with some tampo changes.

    What is the going price for a TV Hikky 1J? I still need to get me one at some point.

    This just arrived today. Gift from the Mrs. So I could only get a quick picture before she squirreled it away for Xmas. I like the box, has a flap that opens to reveal the contents, plus it DOES come with all the accessories that the individual Voltron 84 lions had.

    Hang in there, it DOES get better.. I just wrapped up the first 2 seasons of Log Horizon. Got it on the super cheap last year around this time, and a few friends were raving about it. Maybe it's just me but meh. It started pretty good, but at some point during the 2nd season the plot decided to just fragment to the wind. It suffers from some of the same issues that Index and Railgun did.. introduces characters.. spends 30 seconds on them, then forgets them for most of the show only to bring them back and the viewer is supposed to remember who they are. The 3rd season of Log Horizon starts with Winter anime season which is just around the corner. Continuing with Higurashi, which IMO is this seasons winner, it has some differences to the older anime, but it is still hitting all the highs when it needs to.

    I am awaiting my TV Roy probably will be in my hands this week. I am also waiting on my TV Max which should also be in my hands this week. I need to get a set of TV Fastpacks still, may wait till after the holidays now to avoid the Holiday price bump I am currently seeing. Still need to find a Hikaru 1J.. now that the Mrs is onboard might as well go for broke...

    So I gave this a watch just for giggles and Sh*ts. First thing I took note of is the voice actors for Prime and Megatron trying to sound like the originals. I haven't sat down and watched transformers on TV since the 80's. It's like going back now as adult and re-watching, Voltron, or Gi Joe.. and seeing how silly it really was. Great for nostalgia but no. As for movies.. I saw the 86 movie in 1986! I never thought any of the Bay movies were even worth the time or effort, I saw the first one and bailed on the rest. I did give the Bumblebee movie a go and I thought it was enjoyable, but I wouldn't get invested in it again. With all that said War for Cybertron was OK, it honestly felt like most of the story was told to us in dialogue rather then actually happening.

    So I just recently came back from a screening of the 3rd movie of the FSN Heavens Feel Trilogy. Spring Song was IMO very well animated and continues UFO tables legacy of Fate series adaptations. However.. Yes here it comes, I do not think the adaptation to a movie format was the correct choice. I will focus on the finale here, as I would need to refresh myself on the other 2 parts, but it feels like much of the main plot is completely left on the editing room floor. I can only hope that they do right by Heavens Feel and give it a full TV Series like they have done with UBW. Full disclosure, I am 100% bias as HF route was what made the original FSN VN for me. This route stood out very clearly and even though the last time I went through it was probably close to 20 years ago there are scenes that still stand out. The ending for this movie while technically correct had some very MAJOR plot holes and loose ends to tie up. Without going into spoilers I will just point out some more glaring moments.. Shirou's fate, and Illiya's ending. Zeltrich (SP?) and ultimately Zouken's finale. Yes there is much to unpack there. Again this is just looking at Part 3.. I forgave much of the glossing over and editing of the 1st movie, and started to really pick apart the 2nd because of what was left out. For the finale, completely editing out one of the major developments and skipping past it's conclusion really soured me. Ok with that said.. still was not a terrible movie, I will be picking it up just be mindful that much was cut out for the movie format. Here is to a FULL adaptation. On the other Anime front, I started watching Tonikaku Kawaii only 4 episodes in and I am enjoying it. Nothing spectacular but the Mrs. is also enjoying it. Dan Machi Season 3 is kinda meh.. While I still enjoy the franchise, the whole formula is starting to get a little stagnant. The introduction of intelligent monsters is a plus but the characters are all really predictable at this point. Kamisama ni Natta hi is also very meh.. I keep expecting Angel Beats and instead this is just Dull. As of at least the end of Episode 7 some fairly major elements are getting hinted at. Hopefully the last 4 episodes can pull this together. If they do another Charlotte where the last 2 episodes could be a complete season I will be highly annoyed. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Gou is going great, another VN that I highly enjoyed. There are some pretty major changes in this retelling, and I am curious how they intend to wrap this up, as we seem to be deviating from some of the original elements of the Question and Answer Arcs. I honestly miss the original OP.

    Well, my Hikki 1S arrived along with 2 sets of SSP. I am eyeing other planes from this line, should probably get my hands on the Kakizaki release at some point. Probably already gonna a hit to the wallet when I do.
  11. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Currently I am attempting to catch up on Log Horizon before the 3rd season hits Next anime season. Still watching Kamisama ni Natta Hi and I still don't know where its going and we are 8 episodes in at this point.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    And this is why I have been put off this line. I have enough expensive hobbies as it is, and a happy Mrs. is the most expensive one.. lol I FINALLY bit the bullet and picked up the Fokker 1S damn you @sqidd and your links. I also just went and got the missle set, at some point before they become unobtanium I need a strike/super set. But I really am having a hard time justifying the price points for any of this.
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I was in the same situation, got a login for CBS and started watching. I got through the 1st season and gave up. The worst part is there were no really memorable moments for me and I would be hard pressed to have something stand out.. maybe the ridiculous looks Klingon ship designs..
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I just finished Ep 3 of Kamisama ni Natta Hi. Verdict is still out on this.. too early for me to get a feel yet as to how it is going to go. But I expect an attempt at the Feels by then end as Key is so known for.
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    @rick.vale my original plan fell apart. However I did locate a fairly cheap countercade that I can use. PM away. Rob
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Lisa just arrived, not bad. She will sit in her box for awhile until I finally finish my shelving solution.
  17. Stampeed Valkyrie
    LOL shhh, the fanboys will come running. Most of the series is a slog, it does have it's moments and does pickup towards the end. Honestly I got through it once and that was enough.
  18. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I just watched the first episode of Kamisama ni Natta Hi. For those that don't know this is the latest Anime project from Key/Visual Arts.. (Angel Beats, Charlotte.. etc) Typical first episode, could go either way and I am seriously hoping this doesn't go down the path of ReWrite as that anime adaptation was a dumpster fire.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I got a chance to sit down and finish Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo - Oretachi no Game Set. Which is the final OVA for the TV series, interstingly enough I found the finale to be more entertaining then the rest of the series. The ending however be forewarned is incredibly stupid but par for the course for these type of series. I still have an issue with the character designs, and I pretty much universally dislike just about every character in this series. Honestly it seemed like it was trying to rip off the MC of SNAFU, but I never disliked Hachiman, and I actively disliked the MC in this series. Honestly more of an obligation watch since I did give the TV series a go. Also started the Fall Season with Danmachi Season 3.. While I enjoy this series overall I can see the whole Harem building concept going stale rather quickly. I'll see how this series pans out. I am also going back to a title from the Spring 2020 anime season.. Gleipnir. I am about 4 episodes into it, and surprisingly the Mrs. is into it. I'm still in the middle on it but it does have some promise.

    ok so I pushed through and finished Yahari Ore.. yatta yatta, Disappointing sums it up. It did end on a brighter note, but it fell apart around Ep 4 and did not really start to rebound until Ep 10. IMO that's far too late, and the finale season falls flat. I do like that they wrapped it up, and a decision was made, as usual I didn't agree with his choice and literally 90% of the 3rd season was Prom this or prom that.
  21. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Yup, Now we wait till Winter 2021 anime season for the 2nd part... which looks to be shaping up to be a busy one. I've pushed past Ep 5 of Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru Kan. TBH I am super close to dropping it, which is disappointing because I enjoyed the other 2 seasons.
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I too think the F-14 in the VF-1D paint schema is probably my favorite version of the CW F-14s with the Mac-Z one right behind it. It was ugly.. in a good way and looks even better in real life. I'd also like to see some other VF-1 paint schemes... Angel Birds, DYRL, maybe even a VF-1D.. could do a virgin road edition..
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Finished Uzaki-chan wants to hang out. It's what I expected. I enjoy the manga, and the anime kept the same pacing. ReZero was the standout for me this season. I haven't watched SAO since the beginning, it never clicked with me. Railgun T was good from what I have seen so far.. much better then the 3rd season of Index.
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I finished Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha... and that was a terrible finale episode. I probably am being harsher then I should but the whole plot was pointless. Its like using a cheat on a boss to 1 hit them, boring and in the end utterly devoid of value. If he could one shot his way to the end like that, I don't see the point of all the other things he decided to do. -10 out of 10... Also wrapped up Monster Musume no Oisha-san.. not much more to say about this then I already have. @Seto Kaiba probably did the best job summing this up. This is another series that I watched and move on from. Should be finishing up Uzaki chan shortly.

    So going back to what got me into KC.. the SD Valks.. I found some schematics via google, then did a reverse image search and found the url. These can be found here.. https://www.kitzconcept.com/index.php?route=journal3/blog&journal_blog_category_id=2 Credit to KC.. obviously. Interesting to see these are dated back to 2016. I'd love to see some re-releases, still need an original Fokker 1S.. the one I have is missing a head. I'd love to see some DYRL valks.. Hell I'd be a sucker for pretty much anything SD.
