    It would have been nice...but he's more of the Macross Character designer....at least he included what is arguably the most iconic hero mech in the film...

    Will be there tomorrow with my kids and a bunch of their friends...will do our part to dethrone Moana 2! LOL...

    Nice...looks like Mikimoto is still on his MtF-style phase

    Well duh....of course there's going to be some shelf warmers....imagine the indignant rage at Disney-Hssbro if they made only the "cool" characters and not the ones that were hated by the collectors that hated the show but still can't help buying the "cool" looking characters and ships, etc....the point was that no Star Wars shows...good or bad....no chance of making extra cash from the merchandising....

    Guess my sarcasm was set to low for ya.......and speaking of fan-service....Wolfman Jack clearly will generate some additional profits from the sale of more action figures! No matter how bad a Star Wars show is....those toys will always sell! Kinda like VFs from a terrible Macross series...lol

    In a galaxy where stone fortresses quickly develop into massive jet-fueled dumpster fires....anything is possible I suppose.... Half way in and this series is almost unwatchable....sunk cost or not, guess I'll keep watching...how much worse can it get, right? Maybe Erkel is revealed as one of Palpatine's top Sith Acolytes!

    Seems they are jumping in with a world already inhabited with superheroes and I assume supervillians....works for me, even if I probably will have zero knowledge of some of the obscure characters than Gunn seems to gravitate to....but don't need any more origin movies...so I will just sit back and let Gunn do his thing....so far his GotG Marvel entries have been my favorites....should be fun...

    What other retailers are having this same issue?....no other retailer is mentioned except bbts....like I said, bbts misunderstood or did not act quick enough....either way, the message bbts relayed apparently to EVERYONE who purchased the Regult w/fig was not the correct thing to do....as the change only should have affected anyone purchasing after whatever date KC had requested....
  9. jvmacross
    Sounds like a BBTS screw-up to me....or like I said...a failure to communicate bilingually...lol

    Unfortunately, the itch your are craving to get scratched is quickly turned into excessive fan-service by the brilliant minds at Disney Lucasfilm, but be careful as too much will make you go blind!....unfortunately, the D+ Star Wars MO calls for plenty of it....like a wave from the hand of a Jedi, it muddles the reality of bad story-telling for the real Star Wars fans because who cares about a good story when they just made a character from the Ewok movies canon!...when all else fails...toss in some more Jawas, Hammerheads, and Greedos to as many scenes as possible...and toss in some PT stuff too because the PT is cool now! Space Goonies is at best a bad fan-fic with lots of fan-service, more than anything we have seen yet from a D+ show....

    Maybe BBTS doesn't want to deal with separating who ordered Regults w/figs vs Regults with no figs.....or BBTS f'd up and did make the change as soon as they were notified of the change by KC....in either case, if you ordered from BBTS before KC removed the 'free' fig with a Regult PO and was listed as such on the BBTS, pretty sure KC will honor your order if you can show your BBTS order date...I seriously doubt KC sold that many to BBTS in the first place so it shouldn't be that many figs KC will need to account for...
  12. jvmacross
    Not sure why BBTS can't just check on their system to see who ordered the Regult w/fig before the cutoff date that KC seems to be requesting....pretty sure KC did not tell them no one will get a Regult w/fig who place an order for one....perhaps what we have here is failure to communicate bilingually!....
  13. jvmacross
    LOL...that's some brutal bar you've set for yourself!....there has been nothing good film-wise from Disney Star Wars since Rogue One....a Skeleton movie would have been just another Star Wars flop...your tolerance for mediocrity is apparently way higher than mine or perhaps you simply forgot that fact....I think Obi Wan was also initially marked for a movie, but like Skelton Pirates, at the end of the day, it just wasn't good enough and sadly both weren't good enough for TV either....then again, D+ is becoming the place were Star Wars dies....
  14. jvmacross
    Is anyone watching Creature Commandos? Pretty entertaining show so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how Gunn is going to make all these characters work together.
  15. jvmacross
    Yes....this could very well happen....and then D+ will have no series that started good and ended good....
  16. jvmacross
    I guess I have much higher standards....I want quality entertainment start to finish...like I have said before, I'm running out of reasons to keep D+, especially now that they are releasing their shows on disk...the only thing that has been good so far is Andor...a story that pretty much follows the same tactic as almost every other D+ show of giving us the backstory for something or someone that we really didn't need....but for Andor it's working...Skelleton Key seems "new" but I am completely underwhelmed by it....Disney's Star Wars is creatively bankrupt...
  17. jvmacross
    Well...that's more than I can remember about Skelleton Crew...lol
  18. jvmacross
    Nah. There's nothing memorable or at minimum worthy of a spectacle...like some of the scenes in other D+ duds....such as watch Kenobi battle Vader even if the whole concept was ridiculous it was still cool to watch....kind of like good fanfics...same goes for Acolyte...the not-Sithlord battles were fun even though the show overall was awful.... With Skelloton Key...there is nothing.....can't recall one interesting thing I've seen and the show is still fresh in my mind....I have not forgotten what I've seen, there just isn't a thing worth remembering....
  19. jvmacross
    Half way through and this series has already proven to be nothing special....no wonder they opted for a tv series rather than a movie.....on D+ Disney has a captive pre-paying audience....on the big screen this would have been another monumental flop...lol

    Can't compare a kit to a toy....someone in the market for a completed ready to play toy is not the same as someone in the market for a need to assemble and build kit....completely different markets and customers... Everything you stated as being an additional "value" is valueless to me....I have no time to waste on kit building and more importantly, I collect macross TOYS not kits...so again, no value whatsoever in kits for me.... For you, it's different, you apparently have the time for kit building...so good for you...not my thing, even if I did have the time or was willing to spend any of it on building a kit...
  21. jvmacross
    Good point....it would be nice for KC to release a "deluxe" 6" version someday.....
  22. jvmacross
    Can't really compare a kit with a toy....I personally do not have time to waste building kits....plus it would take more money to build it to match the exterior details of the KC.....it's not just the price of the kit.....guessing most collectors of toys place a higher value on a finished product than something that requires a lot of time to build correctly....and as they say...time is money
  23. jvmacross
    Right....they said they would be shipped with no additional shipping charges...maybe this only applies to folks that purchased straight from KC?
  24. jvmacross
    ....dark science...cloning....secret sh!t only the Sith knew!!!!...more available at AT-AT-Aladdin!
  25. jvmacross
    Will probably see this in IMAX
