Wanted to have a plushie for each series...but ended up passing on Delta....but if I can find one cheap I'll pick up one of those mercats....

So just got back from WDW and my new favorite ride is the Guardians of the Galaxy - Cosmic Rewind... The combination of rotating roller-coaster, story-telling during the ride, and music just takes it over the top....not sure how Disney will be able to top this ride....I was reading that there are 6 possible songs played during the ride....we heard 5 of them....all were perfectly matched to this ride I was also able to ride TRON - Light Cycle Run....it was basically a PO Madeness-like experience trying to snag one of the "free" virtual queue groups that only operated from 9-6pm each day during the "soft opening" (which more or less meant that if you got on the last group for 6pm, you would likely be riding closer to 9-10pm, which actually makes the experiance much better as the whole place gets lit up at night)...of course, a "pay to play" option was also made available which cut your queue time from 1-2 hours to at most 15-30 minutes.... TRON is the fastest coaster in WDW, but not necessarily the most fun...the biggest problem with it is that although fast, it is also very short...the experience is over before you know it....riding it once was not enough to appreciate everying going on during the ride...with that said. I still think Avatar - Flight of Passage is a much better ride experience...the ride was basically the same as the last time I rode it, so as far as I could tell, there were no new Way of Water sequences added....but still a solid ride experience....considering that it is a 3D "virtual" ride...it is very impressive....I look forward to seeing if or when WDW may do another one based on another of their many franchises.... My new top 10(11) rides at WDW... GotG - Cosmic Rewind Avatar - Flight of Passage Tron - Lightcyle Run Slinky Dog Dash Star Wars - Rise of the Resistance Expedition Everest/Big Thunder Mountain (tied) Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Twilight Zone's Tower of Terror Haunted Mansion Pirates of the Caribbean

Nice stuff...the Genga and douga detail usually gets lost when it gets turned into the final cel

Fixed...

Yep. Jedi Survivor....he obviously did much better at surviving the initial Order66 attack than most of the "known" Jedi Masters who we saw get killed at the end of ROTS... Is he a new Jedi Character or one resurrected from the old SWEU? Hope we did not see the end of him....

The only vintage media that still seems to have some value are the VHD...but I think it's only due to their oddity

Unfortunately, as a "parts-former" there really is no reason to have not been "anime accurate" in every mode...the Battroid mode to me is the most dissapointing... I'll see how the YF-29 scales with other Bandai "1/100" VF's once it's released

No idea what "HG" is all about....but the HG YF-19 was also "1/100"....to me, I wanted it as a stand in until a potential future HMR YF-19 was released...unfortunately, it just did not look right to me next to other 1/100 Bandai Macross items...not even close....the YF-29 doesn't look as "stubby" so maybe this one may look better next to HMR Macross VF's...

If it is "HG" 1/100 scale...easy pass But, I'll reconsider once released and posed next to an HMR VF-1

Meh...maybe when it was the only odd gunpod merch available....

It's just part of the Imai kits released during the SDFM era.....not particularly rare or hard to find...but sort of unique I suppose...the coolest thing about it is that it shoots rubber bullets once put together

Looks like WDW's Tron - Lightcycle Run is gettings a "Soft" opening that started today....yay! However, it is for limited hours, 9am-6pm and today's slots "sold out" within 3 seconds! Welcome to Disney's version of PO Madness! LOL https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/tron/news/20mar2023-tron-lightcycle-run-to-continue-with-limited-hours-during-soft-open-at-magic-kingdom.htm
