    I too fear the subscriptiongeddon may be coming, and all I can think is that there will be an even bigger boost in piracy. Nobody is going to get nickel and dimed beyond what they paid for cable, people will just start torrenting every exclusive series they don't feel like paying a one month subscription for. Also, yes, the Disney entertainment monopoly is scary, some things need to get broken up.

    I'm completely meh on this, I'm over giving Kojima praise or recognition for his whole "crazy for the sake of crazy". I need to see gameplay of this game, this just looks like non-sense.

    BoJack Horseman is, undoubtedly, the finest animated series currently on television, perhaps ever. As Focslain mentioned, the first half of the first season is a bit odd, many reviewers only got the first half to review, and it seemed lalmost like a standard fair "crude" animated comedy, but then, that second half kicks in, and since then it has been one of the highest rated and most celebrated animated series in years. For good reason too, BoJack handles some very dark, very real topics in incredibly nuanced and real ways. I've never seen an animated series that handles, say, depression and addiction, any better then BoJack. Hell, I'd argue BoJack handles themes like that better then most shows that get constant pats on the back do, BoJack is truly incredible. As someone who dealt with depression for many long years, BoJack blew my mind, it is almost too good to be real. I've never cried more like a baby to any other animated show ever, point blank, BoJack kills with it's characters, how it handles them, and how they handle very real subjects. Will Arnett is amazing, as if Arrested Development didn't already make my opinion of him high enough, he is also BoJack, and he is incredible. The last episode of the last season crushed me, it was beautiful.

    That would be Hot Rod like Kuma pointed out, and Midas. Both easy passes for me, I just want that sweet Iron Man 2 Hall setup and I'm out. I'm probably in for every single Star Wars thing shown, every clone and droid variant, every R2 variant, barely different EPIII Obi-Wan, and that very badass EPIII Anakin. Plus Leia and old Obi-Wan are FINALLY happening! Jabba was unexpected, and I'm VERY disappointed to see that there probably won't be any other Figuarts Guardians figures, really lame, it looks like they aren't finishing the team. I know some weren't hot on them but I absolutely loved Star Lord and Groot with Rocket, I guess I'll have to settle and buy some crappy Marvel Select or whatever versions from Hasbro.

    Definitely in for the VT-1 and any more Zentraedi stuff, but easy pass on another VF-2SS, one is more then enough for me, not a fan at all really.

    Shouldn't be too hard or expensive, many were disappointed by the Megazord, at least compared to Voltron. I was meh on him, he's certainly the nicest Megazord ever made, but he could have had much better articulation. Chogokin Dragonzord is a must buy, and yes, I too must wonder if Chogokin Titanus is on the way. Bit of a bummer for me, I already dropped a hefty amount on the stupid Legacy Zords, which are fine, but I never would have bothered had I known Chogokin would go all in on them themselves.

    Vader went up several days ago along with all of the other new Bandai items, Figuarts Goofy, Hi-Metal R VF-1A Hikaru, etc. I nabbed one, I see a lot of people complaining about the helmet, I consider myself a Star Wars super fan, but not to the degree that I can pick apart tiny little details on the helmet to claim it's wrong, so he absolutely looks good to me, plus cloth goods and the proper scale/height like he should have had in his initial release. Also, pre-ordered TLJ Luke, he's TWE but I already grabbed him on NY. Some new DBZ Figuarts got shown off this morning too, Roshi! Gotenks! A version of Buu! And a nwe regular Son Goku! Plus Figuarts Kindgom Hearts Roxas for those like me that are all in on Kingdom Hearts Figuarts stuff.

    Yeah that looks insanely epic! Cap, Widow, Panther, Hulkbuster, Bucky, and the Wakanda army in one massive battle? I'll take it. Also, SPIDEY SENSE!

    Definitely agreed, Justice League was trying too hard and I thought it was a drag, plus Deathstroke looks lame . This crossover is hands down better then what we got last year, the format is much better too, no more "this is mostly just a Supergirl episode", and, "this is mostly just Arrow", at least until the last two episodes, it's been nice and mixed so far. Lots of fun too, tons of little moments, Barry's "damn" when he sees Ollie in a suit, Sarah and Alex was necessary and happened, Wally catching those bullets then slinging them back into the gun! This crossover has been a ton of fun, I'm excited to finish it up tonight, there's just so much good! And Supergirl has some pipes, I loved the Music Meister episode, so Barry having Kara sing at his wedding was great, and touching. And c'mon, the return of Ollie's besty from season one, as Prometheus, who everyone thought he was last season anyway. It's just a lot of fun, and I'm grinning ear to ear through every minute.

    Same here, HLJ officially charged me for my 2SS and Figuarts Kingdom Hearts Sora, I ended up cancelling the new Figma Samus, surprise brake repairs nearly killed my budget this month.

    Mezco Exclusive Joker went up this morning as well, I IMMEDIATELY nabbed mine. I missed out on the original release Mezco One:12 Joker, there was zero chance I was missing out on this badass DX version. I personally think he looks fantastic, he just looks so good, and his head sculpts have to be some of Mezco's best work. https://www.mezcotoyz.com/one-12-collective-the-joker-deluxe-edition

    Goofy is bought, as is Old "Grey" Luke, and the new ANH Vader with actual cloth goods will definitely be mine! I guess Bandai learned their lesson when it comes to capes, just do cloth goods, the original Figuarts Vader, Kylo, Thor, anyone with a cape really suffered from this, so it's very good to see Last Jedi Luke comes with cloth goods for his cloak out of the box.

    C'mon now HLJ, hurry it up! I only ordered one, still not a fan of Mac II or this design, got one more or less for completion sake, but hot damn does that look like a neat toy! I want HLJ to get it in so I can ship a bunch of other goodies with it!

    Oh that looks VERY nice, I'll take one. If they don't release the armor I'd be fine, if they release the armor as a TWE I'd be fine with that too. I love me some 0079, but doing some 0080 and 0083 is just fine by me too!

    I'm baffled, baffled I tell you, at how a movie this expensive put out a worse looking Slade/Deathstroke then Manu Bennett or Arrow. I am in no way knocking Manu on Arrow, quite the contrary, I think he's incredible as Slade, and he looks pretty damn awesome, costume aside, which looks a bit bulky too, but we've actually seen him fight and pull off action scenes in it. That buff werewolf dude from True Blood looked awful, the armor looked like it couldn't move at all, the mask looked even bigger and more cumbersome then what CW forced Manu to wear. And that dye job, my god that dye job. I get it, they REALLY went for a comic book Slade look, but holy crap, he just looked so terrible, it really took me out of the scene and honestly made that whole final after credit scene come off as goofy. Also, at least 15 people around me saw him and said "Deadpool?" It was very meh, but that's what I expected, so I'm not really upset, Steppenwolf was completely lame, and somehow made every shallow MCU villain look like Ledger Dark Knight Joker in comparison. With Arrow knocking Slade/Deathstroke stuff out of the park, once again, the DCEU shouldn't even really try. Ironically, Slade was not to be used for a while in the CW/Arrow verse due to him supposedly appearing in future DCEU movies, but look where we are now, Slade appeared at the end of last season, and just recently had a two part story arc this season! So much for no more Slade in the CW-verse! Also, Themiscrya just appeared on Legends of Tomorrow, no mentioned of WW, but she's obviously there somewhere. We're one mention of her and Batman away from having the Justice League in the CW-verse anyway.

    This looks like a TON on fun! I will absolutely be there opening day. I played the living hell out of these games as a kid, at various arcades, and I had several console versions over the years as well, Rampage World Tour, Universal Tour, and I believe there was a semi 3-D/asymmetrical one on the Wii as well that I loved. These games were always co-op which was a HUGE plus, me and several friends would play for hours on end, these games were awesome! I was always into Godzilla/giant monsters/giant robots/kaiju growing up, so this game series felt like it was pretty much made for me. It looks like a lot of stupid fun, and I'm definitely in to anything kaiju related, and I've loved these games, so I'm totally there. Also, it releases on 4/20? Know your audience I guess...

    I'm getting you now. I would say no, without the admittedly VERY polished Star Wars skin on it, it would just be another EA Battlefield game, just with awful, predatory/invasive loot boxes. And while I have played every Battlefield game released, most recently Battlefield 1, I wouldn't bother.
  18. Tking22
    I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. If it didn't look like a Star Wars it wouldn't be a Star Wars game? I mean yeah, you're right.

    It bothered me too, which is why I HIGHLY recommend the Repro Label set. It fixes that area on the chest, and gives the alt/vehicle mode all of the livery it desperately needs.

    I owned the Hi-Metal 19 Blazer, for two days. Very crappy, not a fan, which is a shame because I absolutely LOVE the VF-1s, it's 1/60 stuff now that makes me go to sleep. I too am quite interested in how Bandai handles a non VF-1 valk in the Hi-Metal R line, this will be a good indication for what to expect for non VF-1 moving forward.

    Got my second haul in, this one from BBTS. I LOVE this MechaGodzilla to death, such a shame this design never happened in the movie, I loved the look and concept, since this incarnation of Mecha G was man made and not alien, it made sense having it comprised of multiple smaller vehicles. Alas, all they kept was Garuda, and even then it just became the backpack attachment. Just two more releases to go and my Iron Man 2 Figuarts Hall of Armor setup will be complete, I just need the MK I announcement and I'm good!
  22. Tking22
    Yup, that's pretty much spot on for scale.

    Got a decent sized hall in from HLJ, and the fastest shipping I've ever received from Japan. Shipped out Wednesday, arrived today! It wasn't even the most expensive option, I went with their amazing FedEx option, I think if I had chosen EMS I wouldn't have gotten it until next week, as is the initial arrival date was next Tuesday!

    Yep, pretty absurd. In BW, he was definitely one of the biggest bots, the only bigger in season 1 was Megatron himself, but that price is crazy, MP-36 was bad enough. I shudder at the thought of what an MP BW Megatron would cost from TT, pretty ridiculous stuff, they are pricing themselves out of my interest area. I've been reading all of that . Indeed, VERY funny stuff! It also re-affirmed my opinion of TFW2005, a complete and utter crap show, a truly wretched hive of scum, and villainy.

    I'm going Figuarts for Thor and Gladiator Hulk since I have no interest in MCU Mezco stuff, I'm all in on Figuarts for my MCU fix. That said, I managed to nab Mezco Superman while he was in stock at BBTS for about three minutes. I also pre-ordered Michael Meyers One:12. Now THAT looks like it will be phenomenal, that's a great scale for him, and the cloth goods will work well at that scale. I'm excited, and hoping we'll see more Mezco One:12 slashers, maybe Jason and Leatherface, Freddy would be really cool, and now I'm interested in their Ash Williams.
