Saw it a couple of weeks ago on Netflix, not bad.

OOhh look how edgy I am, I make fun of Mac7 without any good basis to work from, and think something from RT-Sentinels is from it.  Have you even watched Mac7 dude?

Mac 7 is awesome

Spotted a S.N.R.I. F-91 Test Type at the Æ facility over the weekend

Couple shots from inside the hangar, sorry so small had to sneak my phone 

 

Great pics 

Very happy this is being done in the novel accurate time period rather than a contemporary setting, makes it far more interesting.

The funny thing is that given what's happened, Marvel is now going to start figuring out how to push Spiderman to the sidelines, they'll evolve it during the films, but in a way that still contribute to the MCU.  And it makes Fantastic Four harder.

Can you imagine the next big Spiderman success?  Then Sony asks for more money again?

Alternatively, Marvel buys out Sony Entertainment to get the rights back and bring all of Marvel home, and then sell Sony Entertainment again.

Personally, I don't think Fantastic Four will ever be a big success as a live-action movie. We've had two failed, disastrous  attempts already.

I just don't think the characters are interesting or likable enough for a mainstream movie franchise.

I'm probably one of the few people in the world who never really got into or liked Breaking Bad that much.

I finally watched most of it on Netflix with my wife last year, as a show we could watched together, as many friends had recommended it.

While it was OK, I kinda got board with it and didn't even watch the last one and a half seasons, although my wife finished all of it.

So yeah, thought it was OK, but not great. 

Will watch trailer when in appropriate mood and can summon interest.

First movie was good, but not buy blu-ray good. Watch once at cinema good and then catch it again if it shows in TV and I've nothing better to watch or do good.

Second movie was forgettable. I vaguely remember Colin Firth in an eyepatch and something about an American agent with a whip???? That's my grand total memory of watching the movie, so it can't have been that good.

Articulation looks amazing. Not a big fan of the RX-78 or 1/144 scale, but I may just get this variant for the amazing articulation.

Just finished MG Crossbone X1.

Out of the box build, with some quick panel lining and a spot of paint drum Gundam markers on a few small areas, such as the yellow parts of the "X" thrusters and the grey trim on the weapons.

Easy pass for me. I'm not a Wing fan.

Saw the VF-1A TV Max in a local shop here in HK yesterday. Box was smaller than I expected. No interest to buy though as I've never liked the TV Max colour scheme. I'm far more of a DYRL guy.

I reckon at least a 50% chance this will die a quiet death, just like the TV series we were supposed to get.

And if it does get made then only a 20% chance it will  have enough decent mecha action to satisfy mecha action fans.

I've kinda lost all hope and faith in Kawamori and Big West.

Weren't some similar size Robocrap tabletop game figures tried and failed by Kickstarter a couple of years ago?

I recently discovered the existence of "chip" LEDs that are pre wired from Evan's Design so I decided to give it a shot with the RG Tallgeese. The head design was simple and allowed for easy modding to fit the LED. I didn't take into account for the light bleeding through the plastic but it does give it a pretty cool "transcendence" effect that I'm alright with.  

Great build. Looks fantastic.

I haven't ready it but it's been mentioned on a few groups I a member of.

Damn, so young. That's my age. Really makes you think about your mortality and how many years you have left.

Damn, so young.

American Horror Story: Apocalypse disappointing IMO...........I would rather have had a story about nuclear war and post-apocalyptic survival in fall out shelters vs roving bands of mutants and survivalists rather than a................

Asylum and Hotel are my favorite seasons of Amercan Horror Story.

F90 MG with Support Pack.

Damn, the size of those rivets on the VF-1J's legs......LOL

Gonna be starting to build the RG Crossbone Gundam this weekend. Little worried by the tiny size. Not sure my aging eyes are gonna be able to handle panel lining the tiny parts.......haha

Although I previously disliked the Crossbone Gundam design, I've recently gotten into it after reading the manga. And I've always had a thing for the small size, late UC era MS such as the F90, F91, V and V2.

Was originally thinking of buying the MG ver. Ka Crossbone, but after reading and watching a lot of reviews it seems to have a lot of negatives. Being an older kit, the colour separation is not great and most of the yellow parts need painting as they are only provided as yellow stickers. Also, seems like the colour separation on the weapons is not good as they also need the trim painting. Wish Bandai would release a ver. 2.0 MG Crossbone kit and while they are at it a ver. 2.0 Victory Gundam also as the red circle stickers used on the MG Knees and elbows suck.

Of course, if you get all the packs when they come out, you'll end up spending about $650USD. Now, if you wanted to buy a couple extra F90s, you're looking at close to $800

Not that expensive.

Living in Hong Kong I can order directly from P-Bandai. P-Bandai Hong Kong Pricing is:

Mission pack set = HK$140 (including 2 types of packs), so x 13 sets to get the 26 Mission packs = HK$1,820. 

F90 is HK$280, so x 3 = HK$840.

Of course need to add some shipping cost but thats not expensive, the second F90 I ordered from P-Bandai they charged me HK$40 for the shipping. So say HK$40 per F90 for 3x F90 and 13x Mission Pack sets = HK$640.

TOTAL = HK$1,820 + HK$840 + HK$640 = HK$3,300

Converting that into US Dollars makes that about US$423 total

I really hope they flush out the F90/F91 line.

For sure we'll get more F90 stuff like the F90-II and various popular addons like the Plunge Type.

We've already got a Silhouette Formula 91 remake suit coming out (Vigna Zirah) so there's always hope we'll see more.

I'm looking forward to the VSBR packs for the F90 and also the S & D packs.

It will also be interesting to see the rest of the previously unseen 26 mission packs.

A) No to reboots or remakes. Lets have more new, original stories please.

B) No to another streaming service. I'm happy with Netflix and Amazon Prime, although Amazon Prime may get replaced by Disney Plus once the Mandolorian and Season 7 of The Clone Wars become available. Honestly, two streaming services is my limit.

Looks great.  Are you getting all the weapon packs as well?  The kit from the 90s wasn't too bad, but this one looks like it blows it away. 

Yep, I've already got the first two weapon packs (E & S). Will start building them tonight.

Also, planning to buy one more F90 and the other packs as they are released. Luckily, living in HK makes acquiring P-Bandai stuff easy at list price.

Gotta say the colour separation on the MG F90 is awesome. Also, it's a really solid kit, no real problems with parts falling off when handling it unlike some kits. Also, the articulation is pretty decent. It can do a good ab crunch and both leg and arm articulation is pretty good.
