    Definitely a beautiful poster, and makes me even more excited for the recently announced Netflix anime film or series or whatever. Uprising just started on HBO and I've watched it, like, 4 or 5 times already, very fun film. This Black Friday I've got my eyes open for both PR films on 4K Bluray, among other films on 4K.

    Holy crap thank you for this, I was worried I'd have to try to track one down after release. Now bring on the easy to acquire TWE M&M variants!

    Boy oh boy if that isn't the finest example of Photoshop I've ever seen in my life... They couldn't have just, like, had the two actors take a picture together?

    I hadn't heard about this, that's a bit of a bummer. All of my above mentioned sets were one order, and they are already in processing, so I think I'm good. I might have to look in to moving around a bit of money because I also wanted to check out the Lepin UCS Dark Knight Tumbler, if there's a chance Lepin won't be available on AliExpress in the coming future I'm going to drop some money on all the sets I've even been just eye balling.

    Just wanted to update I got my Lepin UCS Falcon in and built it in one single two day weekend, was madness. I can report not a single piece was missing, and not a single piece was damaged or unusable, I'm REALLY impressed, especially considering the part count. Minifigures are a mixed bag, Han and Leia are great, 3PO and Chewbacca are a bit messy. Pretty nice quality pieces overall, the only pieces I found to be a bit lacking were the basic technic black cylinder bits or whatever they are, actually the black and blue technic bits were all a bit off, but hold together just fine overall. I'm impressed, I doubt I'll go Lepin for anything new or in stock, but all those retired sets that go for absurd amounts are getting the Lepin treatment. I ordered Vader's Eclipse Super Star Dreadnought, UCS Tie Fighter, and the UCS Red Squadron X-WIng. I've got some more building to look forward to. Also, my stupid ass did not measure how big the Falcon was when built, I am going to have a VERY hard time getting it out of the room I built it in, that doorway is narrow.

    Ronin Wolverine is pretty damn awesome, just wanted to give my take. I'm pretty glad I managed to get one, really nice figure. When Mezco nails it, they really nail it.

    I'm looking forward to this one, I've been eye balling Quietus big time, and like technoblue mentioned, I too am a bit worried about the apparently quite painful transformation. That said, he looks so damn brilliant in both modes I may just deal with it, either way I can at least wait for your take before I take the plunge. But man, he does look GOOD in both modes.

    Figuarts Ant-Man and his flying ant are finally in at BBTS, that took forever. I still probably won't get mine for a month or so, I'm waiting for more goodies to drop before I ship.

    I've personally just had issues with them the three times I tried to use them, your mileage may vary.

    Honestly, I noticed since the new Flash season started up that Joe has been suspiciously out of action, mostly chilling and sitting, this explains it. Very sad news, he's been fantastic as Joe, I hope it's nothing serious and that he recovers quickly. https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/11/01/the-flashs-jesse-l-martin-taking-medical-leave-of-absence-in-season-5 I think the dad's in most CW shows are fantastic, they're cheesy as all hell, but the speeches are usually very on point. Flash was lucky enough to have two fantastic dads, Joe and Jay Garrick, er, Henry Allen. Even Archie's dad on Riverdale is pretty great, CW seems to get dads.

    Damn this was terrible, count me in as another person that got up at midnight, had three different sites up, and didn't get a single god damn VF-4. Honestly, I'm about to call it quits with Macross, almost every line Macross related gets like this, destroids and stuff were fine, but this is bullshit and I'm about done caring about getting anything else in the line. HLJ and AmiAmi both have absolute garbage sites now, both crashed while I had what I wanted in my cart, when they finally get their crap together my cart is filled with out of stock items, great. I'm not using AE and I'm not using NY so I guess I can try to wait until the stupid thing releases to try and get one, if I don't, I can care less at this point, I played their stupid bullshit midnight madness game and still got nothing. FiginStock kind of helped when it came to trying to nab a pre-order after the initial date, but they're gone so everyone is left to hoping they are on this site the moment someone mentions a PO is open.

    Unfortunately agreed on Bucky, after all this wait for his figuarts it's very disappointing. No double knee joint, barely holds his gun, he can only hold his gun with one hand. Also agreed on MKVII though, Bandai really kills Tony's armors, I just need MKI and my hall of armor is complete.
  13. Tking22
    Wow those door "wings" in bot mode are totally inaccurate. Did Hasbro not get the final design before they started on this? Prime and the first Bee MPM looked better, but they're still BayFormers, so bad in general :).
  14. Tking22
    This is the guy that directed the IT remake right? I like that. Also, it really can't get much worse then the two Toho films, those were terribad, some cool effects and occasional action scenes aside.
  15. Tking22
    Honestly, it's a bit slow. Pacing wise only the first few hours, but I mean animations, some of them are literally too slow for my liking. Other then that, pretty damn brilliant, I'm hooked on hunting and fishing.

    I was trying to put Rockstar and this game on a pedestal, I thought I made that point clear but then you agreed multiple times so now you seem to get it. That's just how I feel about this studio and their games, that's it. The reviews agree, no cherry picked reviews or puff pieces, as usual nearly all of them. And as usual, there's a few that didn't feel as strongly, massively outweighed by the positive reviews, if you're simply looking for a more negative review to apparently get more balance, they exist.
  17. Tking22
    This is my worry, there will be a better Cable repaint at some point down the line. My other worry is that I cancel the currently announced Cable, then we do get another nicer repaint, but it's a Mezco site exclusive and it's gone before I even see pics, and then I cancelled my regular release and it's sold out then I get no Cable :(.

    Ugh, I have to get X-Transbots Skids don't I? I never planned to, but he looks really, really good, X-Transbots has been on a roll lately, they've climbed WAY up on my list of quality third party TF companies. The face looks a bit meh, but it also looks quite easy to touch up, I mean the face itself looks good, it's just the mouth isn't very cleanly defined.

    I read a rumor that Red Dead 2 and possibly a shiny new port of Red Dead 1 could come to PC, but take all that with a grain of salt. GTA V sold like crazy on Steam in it's first few months after release, if Rockstar wants more sales they'll do it, even if they wait a year like GTA V, more sales is more sales.
  20. Tking22
    No offense but you are in an extreme minority for not, and I'll probably just leave it at that, nothing wrong with that, just an observation, not every game is going to be for everyone no matter how highly praised. Yes, these games are that special, and yes, Rockstar is as well. If you don't like their games or don't think they're anything special that's perfectly fine, but you'd be a fool to not be able to admit and recognize or admire the insane amount of work and love that go into their games. As I said, no other gaming studio really compares. Reviews are there for a reason, and anyone can look up how overwhelmingly positive they are, and always have been for Rockstar's games. Those reviews exist to inform people, and inform they do, are we to not take them into account or recognize the overwhelmingly positive take everyone has on their games? Why not mention the reviews? It makes little sense to not bring up that they are universally praised games. Maybe I went a bit overboard at david, but I detected zero sarcasm, and regret and apologize for nothing, my comment wasn't over the top or offensive in any way, I was just baffled. Anyone that has been gaming for the last several decades is aware or Rockstar and what they do and make. Once again, if you're not a fan so be it, but what they do for the industry and gaming with their games truly is revolutionary and their ability to make incredible, detailed game worlds is simply unrivaled.

    No offense but are you seriously asking this? It's a Rockstar game, it's getting universal praise, like every Rockstar game before it, and it's cleaning up in reviews. It's being called, like every Rockstar game before, a revolutionary gaming experience. Have you not heard of Rockstar or ever played a Rockstar game before? Why not just actually read some of the 10/10 and 5/5 reviews it's getting, the game just released and Metacritic hasn't had a chance to update it and bump it to 96-98 where it should land. I'm a bit baffled at the lack of awareness for this game in this comment section, I almost feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's Red Dead 2, it's Rockstar, that's all that really needs to be said. It's a 10/10 obviously.
  22. Tking22
    It's all about the polish and level of detail, no other studio making open world games comes even remotely close to what Rockstar achieves. Every new Rockstar games moves the open world/sandbox genre forward, revolutionizing, and proving what is possible in these massive games. Red Dead was, for the most part, far more grounded then GTA, which is usually tongue in cheek, over the top, and basically a parody. Red Dead had, without spoiling things, a truly incredible story, with one of the most incredible endings a game has ever achieved in history. The gameplay was astounding as well, Euphoria took the game to another level, physics on everything, it wasn't just a shooter, it was a physics driven shooter. The game allowed for more possibilities then just spraying at center mass, everything reacts realistically, you could take consideration into WHERE and HOW you wanted to shoot. The story allowed for you to be a good guy, or an old fashioned bad guy. There's just so many intertwining mechanics at play that never trip over each other, they always compliment each other. Everything combined together makes for what comes off as a truly alive, open world. There's a reason Rockstar refers to their open world games as Rockstar world games, it's not hubris, they are truly just so far ahead of the competition nobody else can compare. Open world games aside, the level of detail and polish just goes so far beyond many, many other games and genres. With these game worlds being so massive, you can't help but feel you are playing something truly special, so much detail and polish, they outshine other games that try to do one or two things Rockstar games accomplish while including so many other mechanics and types of gameplay. Every Rockstar game feels like several games in one, they're massive, but no detail is lost, they earn their 10s, and continuously push the industry itself forward with what is possible.

    Ugh, I just saw this, and you beat me to post it. They also need to put the non visored head and those sweet, sweet yellow trunks on the standard release, that would make that one nearly perfect.

    More then likely, each previous Hi-Metal valk, R or original, was a partsformer in some way.

    Not at all, there's still several VF-1 I feel are needed for most folks collections. As mentioned the VF-1D, we need TV 1A Kaki and Max, a re-release in Hi-Metal R form of the whole DYRL Skull Squadron would be nice. I have the old regular Hi-Metal DYRL Skull Squadron box set, but that's pretty old and hard to find.
