    I see the yard supervisor is as diligent as ever! And giving you that thousand yard stare. Really, some great work on the additions.

    HLJ mostly, though that was before the 'Dark Times' when shipping was cheaper to the US. 😉 I did buy a few from WAHWAH models. They don't have a lot in stock right now, but there is some. https://www.wahwahmodelshop.com/product-category/hasegawa-model/macross/ Another is Hobby Search. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/list/693/0/1 Then, of course, Amazon or good 'ol ebay. Good luck!

    Awesome dio! And welcome to the board!

    Even so, I was enjoying a 'day in the life with She-Hulk.' The episodes were quirky and funny and the cast are all very likable, esp Maslany. Even if no deeper plot had ever developed, I would keep watching for all that alone.

    Not too terribly. I'm assuming it'll keep to the high points as alluded to in FoTR. As to mithril being worn as jewelry by the elves, that is another way that what they are doing on TRoP could obliquely tie into. In RoTK, Arwen's necklace falls and shatters when she decides to remain on Middle Earth. If that was mithril, infused with the light of the Valar or a Simaril, then that could be her losing it's protection upon her soul. In effect, choosing mortality. (Not an explanation for what she used for protection while Aragon held the necklace.)

    Yes and no. If you are expecting the show to follow Tolkien's canon on Middle Earth, you're going to end up being confused. As I understand it, Amazon only has licensing for 'bits'n'pieces' of Middle Earth-verse, so it is best to take this as a fan-fiction version of the history before the Hobbit. Which would explain the condensing of much of the timeline, from hundreds of years to only a few and a mix/match approach using the events of the First and Second Ages. And since this is supposed to be leading up to Jackson's movies, I assume she will be meeting up with Celeborn at some point. As to mithril, that I don't know. I never heard it being as any more than a unique metal, though I am liking the yarn they are starting to spin with it.

    I've been liking it a lot, even with a slower pace. At fifty episodes, they can't dump everything in the first five. Build the story up so we see what the stakes are for people, how much they are putting on the line and how much they don't want to risk. And how much they are eventually going to lose. I like how they folded the mithril in with the Balrog, and how much of it is needed in order to save the elves from... old age... I'm assuming this would then be the same Balrog that shows up in LoTR. For Isildur, he's young guy trying to find his direction. No one springs from the womb being exactly who they are from legend. I think he'll find his way once they reach Middle Earth and Mordor, I mean the Southlands. As for Galdrial and her armor, it is different than the armor from the first few episodes. I just assumed they had some lying about from the old days. They did go the west of Numenor, where the elves are still revered. Here she is in her in the original armor, just before they get on the ship And the second set of armor she got from Numenor, Have to say, I do like the second set better than the first. It 'looks' more elvish. And, it had some design cues with her brother's armor, making me think it is an older set that was gifted to her. Such as what I assume is the Evenstar on the chest piece.

    What was that about Daniel Radcliffe?! Can't wait to see the first trailer.

    I imagine it wouldn't be too long before we see Luca's version.
  13. Thom
    It's a good thing variable fighters are made out of animanium.
  14. Thom
    Okay, it's been more than a week. Who bought one?
  15. Thom
    Some fanfic probably has that covered.

    That guy flying the 'cat is NOT Tom Cruise! It's about who's in the 'pit! Just saw it today, and I loved it. I didn't think I would, as my reminiscence of the first movie is not that good. Generally, I just remember too much hokey-ness. But I loved the action and drama they were spinning out. Esp how Maverick would basically have been done if not for Ice constantly uplifting his career. Real great Kilmer in there too. These 'feelsz' yo! As to those 'feelz' I think not having seen the original in almost thirty years was a good thing, as when Maverick would clearly have his moments of nostalgia, I would remember those scenes too, though not as something I had just seen before this one. Just like the character, I was remembering things from thirty years ago, with that hazy quality that time gives any memory. Really added to the experience, esp with Maverick clearly wanting to settle down now As to the dog fights, even though there was a measure of unreality to them, they were still exciting and fun to watch. This was clearly aircraft porn! And as to the F-14 fight at the end, though exciting, I think it dragged the movie out a bit. Still glad to see it though! If they ever decide to continue this with Rooster as the main, I'd be in to see it!

    I really enjoyed that one, and am certainly willing to see what they cone up with next.
  18. Thom
    As would I! EDIT Looking at the pic I posted, I had not realized that it was a VF-4, though a different variant. Smaller, sleeker, even looking like a prototype version. Would hate to have to bash into a VF-4 kit though, though things are 'spensive!

    @MechTech Thanks foe the pics. Looked like a good show. I went to Rocon 40 in Rochester NY, and here is the link for the pics of that. https://imgur.com/a/3eoUxz9

    @pengbuzz Going out or coming back?
  21. Thom
    This is so confusing!
  22. Thom
    Well, I'll keep an eye out for it when it comes again. In the mean time, I left a pair of pics on the first page, what are the chances of you taking on the first one?
  23. Thom
    True, but then Boba, if that is who we are talking about, is not a Mandalorian.
  24. Thom
    Dang weather! Can't we control that yet?
