My copy from AmiAmi showed up today....no bent antenna issue.... ...and I have to say a big thanks to AmiAmi's shipping Dept...they truly went out of their way to ensure my item (and I assume those of many of their YF-21 customers) arrived safely and with the best shot at avoiding damage to said antenna...guessing they must be aware of the problem and are thinking it may be caused during shipping....unless the entire top of my box would have been crushed, there is no way nothing sitting on top of it would have caused any pressure to be applied to the top of the toy's packaging.... Custom packaging and shrink wrapping....

What is this crap? This got green-lighted by the DC Gunn-verse team?.... -
The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
jvmacross replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Probably was based on the expectations of what had come before, but that was before Diseny purchased Star Wars...and several blunders after that....so yeah....the expectations should not have been that high...lol -
Yeah...read about this...glad it's coming back....IMO....not being able to pick 3 rides as you could before the whole Covid mess started was worse than park reservations....especially coming from out of state.... Now we'll be able plan much better....still....nothing beats the old days when you could just show up and more or less get to enjoy everything you wanted out of the park with hardly any advanced planning....those days are never coming back....

Just caught up with the latest episode...wow Great season so far.....every show I normally watch has been really good, with the exception of The Acolyte...which is trying hard to end strong in the final episodes, but it may be another example of too little, too late...

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
jvmacross replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Not even that...for me, if it is animated or a 'live-action' movie or show...it's canon....so I feel I have watched almost all the Clone Wars and everything else that meets that criteria with the exception of the Resistance animated show and the latest toddler Jedi show that is on D+....and yet, it was still not enough...the show had me wondering what the heck I was watching on several occasions.... I found it funny though, how an episode later they 'schooled' the non-fanatics about 'Cortosis'....Darth Manny sort of explains 'Cortosis'....it's like the concept is brought up as a wink-wink, nod-nod to allow the mega fans to bask in their Star Wars 'street cred' while the rest of us have to wait for the explanation.... -
Are there any examples of non-Japanese markets receiving bad customer service from Bandai?...and I'm referring to legit legally sold Bandai items from either Bandai directly on non-Japan Bandai sites or their authorized resellers.... BTW....I don't consider having to send in the entire toy for a complete replacement "bad customer service"....more like inefficient internal processes, which I would not consider my problem unless it impeded me from getting my item made whole again...
-
I have one already en route from AmiAmi....but I have a couple more waiting to be shipped...wonder if these shops would be able to open and confirm the condition of the antenna....then again they can always lie then blame the shipping company....quite the catch22 cluster frakk indeed....think I'll just tempt fate this time....it's only first world problems...
-
Bandai is probably handling the antenna debacle on a case-by-case basis....for now...instead of just admiting they Bandai'd things up...

The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
jvmacross replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Exactly....the point is that Star Wars is way too entrenched in pop culture that it is highly unlikely to have a show where you will be able to appease most viewers especially when trying to come up with something new...."they ruined my Star Wars head canon!!!" -
The Acolyte - Disney Plus Star Wars Series
jvmacross replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Nah...you are by no means a filthy casual fan as you claim....you still have way too much knowledge of the various Star Wars lore out there....whether by accident or actively seeking it out....whether canon or not...regardless of source medium.... I'm thinking these shows only fit 2 demographics....hard core fans that simultaneously would never find any fault with anything "Star Wars" related....or people who have zero knowledge of anything Star Wars and are simultaneously easily entertained by white noise.... Occasionally they do come up with something more or less enjoyable by most....like Andor...and IMO it is because it respects what has come before it and does not try to recon or reinvent anything while also providing a generally good story... -
It's a WWM release....there is no shortage of squeaky wheels in the USA! I really want to see how this is handled here by Bandai USA...may finally be a good reason to pay more when buying local...lol

I was thinking about that new "supe" from The Boys that needs to get repeatedly lobotomized in order to enjoy her life.... From a certain point of view....you almost have to have any previous knowledge of any and all Star Wars lore...canon or legends...forcibly removed from your memory in order to be able to enjoy most of these new Disney shows "as is" with no backstory baggage from previous movies or books, etc.... Or would it just be easier to just go for the lobotomy? -
I am not seeing the adherence to the lineart.... ....or to the drawn anime cels used in the actual anime... Maybe someone can create a "parts-former piece" that can be swapped in for battroid mode...assuming the current back piece would be easy to remove... ....or simply wait for the renewal or HMR version...
