  1. Could not locate an existing thread.....if one does exist feel free to merge this into it....if not.. Hope it's good.......I can easily see a series of movies...this one seems to be focused on the Amazon River....next one can take place in the Nile River....the final ones in the Congo and Mekong....just like the ride it's based on!
  2. Thoughts? Looks like this has already been implemented at DLP and DLS https://wdwnt.com/2021/07/disney-premier-access-likely-replacing-fastpass-at-walt-disney-world-and-disneyland-resort-soon/ I just came back from WDW recently and only a handful of rides had a wait time of longer than 30 minutes...with most being in the 10-25 minutes range...of course, the park capacity was still not at 100%...more like 50% Even the ride wait times that were 1hr or more throughout the day eventually would come down to 45 minutes or less before the park closed.... If they go with the current methods at DLP and DLS...it would seem only the most "popular" rides will be turned into "pay to play"....before, there seemed to be way more rides that offered a fast pass.....I guess it makes sense......personally, I would only pay to skip the line at the newest rides or most popular just to make sure I actually get to ride it before my trip is over.....I wonder, however, if the current "virtual queue" rides will be moved over to the "pay to play" system or just remain unchanged? During this trip, I was worried about not being able to get on the virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance, however, I had Hollywood Studios park reservations for three days and was able to get a boarding pass for each day....good ones too, I got boarding pass 4 on the first day, 8 on my next visit, and 2 on my last...honestly, had I known it would be that easy, I would have just reserved Hollywood Studios for 2 days instead of 3.....Slinky Dog Dash proved to be the worst one to try and ride.....we did on each visit, but the cost was getting up early for each visit...you had to be there before the park opened to have a shot of riding without a 1+ hour wait...so that meant getting to Hollywood Studios at 8am and wait an hour before the park officially opened....the good thing was that they let you in and you had to just wait until "rope drop" for the mad dash to Toy Story Land...it was sort of crazy and made me actually appreciate the "virtual queue" and the FastPass.....luckily, this only really affects the newest rides at each park.... It funny that Disney Parks keep getting more expensive each year, yet the crowds keep coming.....I doubt implementing a "pay to play" system will deter anyone...personally, I am more dissapointed in the Disney Park decision of extending "extra nightime magic hours" only to resort guests staying at the Deluxe Resorts....in my experience..."extra nightime hours" always meant super short wait times......"extra morning magic hours" are apparently being made available to everyone staying at the resorts...any one of them......but I personally prefer staying up late rather than getting up early...lol
  3. What's with the "worn-out" look of the packaging......no one watches Robotech that much so they needed to fake it?
  4. Maybe they will do an exclusive version with his grey flightsuit....the "pineapple salad" edition....🍍
  5. Does this mean a hiatus on any further DX VF-1 product?.....this is the second announcement of a DX from the upcoming Delta movie....in quick succession too!
  6. Looks good as usual...but somehow the hands do not look right...color is off...does not match the white closest to them, which would be the white used for the arms
  7. Coming Soon!!! PO Date TBA https://tamashii.jp/item_character/macross_series/
  8. Just finished watching the entire show...I was glad it got better as it progressed....so like all other shows pre-TROS...it has some sort of tie-in with Darth Sidious' return plans.....I like where your thoughts are taking you @TangledThorns....I do hope she gets an re-introduction in TBoBB...surely hanging out with The Bad Batch would have turned her into a badass...still, where has she been all this time "in-universe"?...assuming she did not get killed off at some point
  9. Just finished watching the show.....just when I thought I could get rid of Netfix.....looking forward to Season 2

    Hi-Metal R

    Any day now....surely the Great Macross knows that our fandom is the most sincerest of them all!
  12. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j730036344 It looks great framed @jzwolen You are correct, there was not much to go on from the auction description....my first thought was that it was a fan cel....however, it could be a hanken, but the image just does not jump out at me like other similar hanken images have done so recently....If I remember or if I come across the image I will let you know... In anycase, your Focker collection is coming along nicely!
  13. Well....now we should all know where to sell our cel collections at when the time comes....🤑
  14. Nice! These are hard to put together a complete collection...good luck!
  15. Still waiting for anything SDFM or DYRL........
  16. Nice....hopefully this mean KitzConcept can also get in on the action...
  17. yeah...I am certain that companies will nail FSD or "hands-free" cruising.....again...it is the humans driving regular cars that will still continue to muck things up for a long time
  18. We've driven to WDW from the Chicago area ever since we started going with our kids....the roadtrip is part of the "disney magic"....LOL As far as self-driving cars...easy pass...it is not the other self-driving cars that would concern me...it is all the human driven cars that would still be out there for the foreseeable future, definitely during the rest of my lifetime
