    The SOC Voltron is very cool.. a definate keeper. As for the definitive Voltron? I'm gonna stick with the one I grew up with, which was my Matchbox Voltron III. Yep Chunky, not posable.. but 80's awesome to this day.

    I was able to swing by the homestead today during work, and low and behold there was Hikaru. I have a feeling I will be displaying him with his flight helmet on, looks pretty nice.

    I don't think the scale is off by much.. looking at the infamous couple photo, Minmay's top of her head comes just about even with Hikaru's eyes. The figure has it very close.. Not that anime hasn't taught us that we can't use scenes for scaling.. cause anime magica or something

    Just got my GX-71 from BBTS. I just got around to opening the box, and haven't had time to fiddle with it.. much joy to be had! It will have a home between my Matchbox Voltron III and my 20th Anniversary Toynami.

    great review @jenius I like the paint scheme now even more. Eventually I will be able to unbox this ans some others and put them on a shelf.. for now though.. in the closet they go.

    I still haven't changed my original statement about this season being Dull for the most part. Again Dumbells, Danmachi 2, are the standouts for me. Arfureta has gone down hill fast Accelerator so far seems to be good as well.
  7. Stampeed Valkyrie
    so I caught up on Accelerator for now. It's kinda showing the same cracks that Index and the other spinoffs have been showing for awhile. Apparently there are even more factions with nonsense names and you hear about them for 1 or 2 episodes.... sigh. However... at this point I am enjoying Accelerator. Much more then say Index 3.. which was a bust.

    Glad to hear you found one. I have a fairly long email chain with KC and to their credit they are pretty responsive. I am still nagging them about the Fokker 1S SD version, which I have but is missing one of the heads.
  9. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Interesting comparisons between the KC,Calibre, and Bandai. I have both versions of Calibre's Fokker's TV 1S coming in short order from BBTS. Eventually once I complete my game room I am hoping to display them. Along with all the Macross F-14 variants.
  10. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Well my "Dark Gold Version" Fokker TV 1S arrived today. Typical packaging with an outer and inner box which is standard on KC releases. I am not gonna open this one up until I complete my game room renovations and have someplace to display it. 581/660 so fairly late to end of the run. I am more interested to see if they kept that Neon Green Display Stand with this release. Front Outer Box Side Outer Box Rear Outer Box Front Inner Box Inner Side Box Inner Rear Box

    So I am watching Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere. I have completed Season 1 and moving onto Season 2.. yeah I still have no idea what I am watching. I think I got this cheap with a Sentai Sale.. The entire plot really does not make any sense.. I would hope the source material if any, is better because the anime is barely coherent at this point. oh yea and I forgot to mention Boobs... pretty gratuitous on this aspect.. no outright nudity but pretty close. so maybe that was the whole point of this series?
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    All in all I am pretty disappointed as a whole with Summer 2019 anime season. I am still following several series but for the most part I'd say this season is a bust. Exceptions being at this point, Danmachi S2, Copcraft, Dumbells, and maybe Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou. My verdict is still out on Kanata no Astra but I am not really motivated to keep going with it either.
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I have one inbound from HK It's official street date is 8/12 as per KC. For those looking for one hit up KC you might just get lucky.. $112 plus shipping if they still have them.
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I may have a lead on the Black and Gold HK special 1S Keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully it pans out.
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I just wrapped up the first season of Blood Blockade Battlefront. I was entertained by this title, however IMO the plot is pretty muddy and the general premise is a hard sell. After doing some research apparently my favorite character is "anime only" and is not even found in the manga. I have season 2 on deck and I'd like to see it flesh out some things, and maybe not be so murky in regards to the overall plot. Still all in all not bad for a title I picked up on a whim.
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Akashic Records of the Bastard Magic Instructor was kind of a middle of the road title for me. Not all that great, but not all that bad either. I was left on the fence at the end of this one. I wanted to see more, but at the same time was kinda meh.
  17. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I was just back in the LV Area at the beginning of the month pre and then post AX 2019. I probably won't be back in the area until at least the fall at the earliest at this point.
  18. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I still have them boxed currently.. Space is a premium and these planes are pretty big. Once I figure out how to display them.. sure.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Took some digging to find this one, let alone not overpay for it. This completes my collection of them, unless there are a few super limited releases besides this.
  20. Stampeed Valkyrie
    lol yeah School Rumble was great.. Go read the manga, it does have a definitive resolution to several character arcs. I watched the Dan Machi Arrow of Orion movie last night. Not bad, probably 7/10 overall. It is stand alone, and can be watched without any previous Danmachi experience.
  21. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Index in the beginning was very good, its spin offs not so much. On that note, I figured I would give the accelerator spin-off a shot. Meh.. it's at least got my interest more the Index S3.
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Looks like I am gonna be thinning the herd this season already. Maou-sama, Retry! First episode had a highly amusing scene involving a spanking.. but 2nd and 3rd episodes are pushing this to the chopping block. Honestly series shouldn't go stale this early on. Tsuujou Kougeki ga Zentai Kougeki de 2-kai Kougeki no Okaasan wa Suki desu ka? Maybe it's just me but the skeeve vibe from this series is already creeping me out. The MC's mom has an unhealthy attachment to the MC. So much so that I can't rule out this series crossing THAT line. I'm willing to try for another episode or 2, but if this skeeve factor remains high.. it's chopped. Uchi no Musume no Tame naraba, Ore wa Moshikashitara Maou mo Taoseru kamo Shirenai. Not sure with this title, too early to tell. The whole daughter/possible romantic interest avenue that is floated later on though.. may put this with the title above. Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? This series has been amusing so far.. I think it might be ok assuming it keep its current atmosphere going. Kanata no Astra Only watched 2 episodes, probably watch the 3rd tonight.. the initial premise and the explanation on why there are no adults is probably the only thing I can knock this series for at this point. Honestly though, if this series can not go overboard with the Drama I think it will do well. If they decide to go all super serious, I will drop this title. Tejina-senpai... I don't even know where to start with this title... it might be the train wreck title of Summer 2019 still too early to tell. Cop Craft So far so good. Honestly if it was not because of Range Murata, I probably would have skipped this altogether. Kawaikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka? The premise of this could put this on par with Tejina-senpai with vying for Train Wreck of summer 2019. Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2 I haven't watched any of this yet.. it's on my list as I really enjoyed the first season. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru no Darou ka II Besides Takagi-san this is the only other title I really am looking forward to. I saw the premier at AX this year, and it looked very promising. This along with the movie coming out on 7/23 and I hope this season does well.
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    School Rumble was great, I remember going on a binge over a 3 day weekend and watching the entire first season non stop.
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    As I mentioned earlier, the manga for this title is much better. But the Anime was OK. I'm not too surprised about this.. what does surpise me is the 2nd season announcement of Fairy Gone..
  25. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I am finally catching up on all the Series I was following as they finally wrap up. Isekai Quartet.. except for the last 2 episodes turned out much better then I expected.. happy to see a 2nd season in works. Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari.. This title consistently held my interest, I'd like to see more if it if they decided to ever keep going. Another example of anime never telling the full story and just being an advertisement for the light novels. Kenja no Mago.. Started out pretty well, but got Dull quickly. It seemed to revel in being completely generic with all the standard tropes. While not a stinker, not worth a pickup or a rewatch. Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai.. Your typical Harem/School Rom-com anime. The manga IMO is much better. I have yet to watch the final episode but I am not expecting greatness from it. Dororo.. I am waaay behind on this, just started watching the 2nd cour now. What I have seen so far I have enjoyed so I am hoping the latter half doesn't go downhill. Nande Koko ni Sensei ga!?... I don't even know what to say about this one.. more censorship then anything else. A friend of mine is telling me this is Korean in origin... way to go Korea! Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san.. This is a safe title to watch with the Significant other.. unlike the last title I listed above. If you like Moe your good with this one. I still need to watch the last episode.. but pretty harmless. Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai... Actually not bad at all. This series ended up being popular with some of the female members of the viewing group, and the OP was pretty catchy. Fairy Gone... Dunno Dropped after the 3rd episode. 2nd season announced.. Kono Yo no Hate de Koi wo Utau Shoujo YU-NO... on my list to watch probably will get to it after AX this year. Apparently the VN it is based off of is getting a western release, and has been recommended to me. Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin.. On the fence with this one, while not bad it wasn't great either. Too many loose threads left over for a 12 episode series. Probably could use another season to flesh out it's core concepts.. unlikely I would watch it though. Nobunaga-sensei no Osanazuma.. no just no Chou Kadou Girl ⅙: Amazing Stranger.. AOTY! lol seriously though I wanted to see more of this. It was enjoyable and was this seasons guilty pleasure. Shoumetsu Toshi... Another title I dropped fairly early on in the season. With my current backlog its unlikely I will come back to it. And that was my list.. give or take some stuff from previous seasons. Speaking of Previous seasons, I have been reading Domestic Girlfriend.. Which I nominated for Anime Train Wreck of the Year 2019.. and the manga is surprisingly good. I am well past where the series ended, and hopefully it wraps up soon. With everyone out of High School now its getting long in the tooth.
