    I suppose that depends on where your talent lies. If you're better at building dioramas, then perhaps that would give you an edge; however, it's the kits themselves that are being judged, so that's where you should be focusing your efforts.

    Look, I'll admit Aliens vs. Predator is a childish concept to begin with, but you guys have taken it to schoolyard-at-recess levels. But hey, if you can imagine it, I can stage it!

    Your attention is most appreciated.

    The Moscato Hobby Modelling Contest has motivated me to pull my Norbert-Gerard out of storage and put it together: ...and articulate it, of course, because I'm wont to make what I want to have... ...namely, more Macross toys! I usually prefer a clean, high-end toy sort of finish on my models, but this one calls for a little weathering, I think. Based on its appearance near the end of the series, I can imagine this powered armor has seen more combat than maintenance. 😅

    Lawrence Fishburne himself has gone on record saying he is not involved with “Resurrections.” The actor revealed to Vulture last summer that he was not invited back to play the character in the new sequel. Fishburne said he hadn’t been told any details, adding, “I have not been asked to join them.” More recently, Fishburne told Collider, “I am not in the next ‘Matrix’ movie, and you’d have to ask Lana Wachowski why, because I don’t have an answer for that.” https://www.indiewire.com/2021/09/matrix-4-trailer-morpheus-theories-1234663192/

    Yes, that makes a helluva lot more sense.

    The fact is, you're both correct, and you've both made salient points to prove it; you're simply viewing the situation from two completely different perspectives. @treatment was already collecting Macross toys two decades ago, and is comparing his subjective experience as a Yamato customer then with his experience as a Bandai customer now. Back then, in a much less-competitive market, we spent less time and money acquiring the toys. @sqidd is a responsible business owner, and objectively comparing MSRPs while factoring in exchange rates and inflation of the US dollar. Bandai is a much larger company with far more resources than Yamato ever had, and is providing a higher-quality product at (relatively) lower prices. From a business perspective, Bandai's approach is obviously more financially-sound than Yamato's. However, their production and distribution practices has led to a huge scalping problem (greatly exacerbated by the overseas market) and as customers, we bear the brunt of that. Yamato was always a by-the-fans-for-the-fans kind of operation, for better or worse, and Bandai is quite the opposite. It's entirely possible to admire Yamato for their dedication to the customer, and at the same time acknowledge their inferiority to Bandai in both financial matters and production quality; it's just as possible to admire Bandai for their dedication to the product, and at the same acknowledge their inferiority to Yamato in both distribution and customer service. You guys aren't really arguing at all, just comparing differing points of view.

    Sorry, but I think you've been trolled. "Cucuruz Doan’s Island" is the infamous Gundam episode that was officially disowned by everyone involved in it. It'd be like Disney announcing a feature-film remake of The Star Wars Holiday Special. 😅

    Well, the lower-right caption still identifies Seifried as the pilot, but otherwise it's just the usual copyrights. The original "SOL" packaging had a sentence under Seifried's picture that said "this kit does not include a pilot figure." Kinda miss that.

    Cap's got real Photoshop skills, too! You know that katakana in red says "Seifried Weiss," right?

    Oh, I have figures at that scale... Bandai, naturally. In order to paint them, I'll be borrowing an electron microscope from the university science laboratory.

    Awesome. I especially like the detailing behind those secondary engine bells. Well, they weren't deployed that way... and it wouldn't make a lot of sense, would it?

    Is the nose gun missing, or was it broken off?

    As if X-Transbots didn't have a full slate of upcoming releases already, they feel the need to resurrect CG mockups from six years ago...?

    Yes, but is it Arcadia's prototype? T-Rex's mock-up? A fan-made resin kit? That tweet is nothing but goddamn hashtags. #twittersucksbigtime

    Thanks for sharing, but I think discussions of this nature belong here instead. 🔒

    Hollywood has had remarkable success adapting comic book properties into live-action films over the last couple decades, but anime adaptations are always terrible... ...save Alita: Battle Angel, the exception that proves the rule.

    What If... I took out a second mortgage on my house, in order to afford Captain Carter figure with Steve Rodgers and "Hydra Stomper?"

    Interesting example! That bizarre move not only completely failed to incapacitate his opponent... ...but it left him in a vulnerable position on the floor, leading directly to a nasty stab wound in the back. 😬 Looks like a very silly book to me. 😄

    Your enthusiastic responses are much appreciated, everyone! 🥰 Here are a few shots that didn't make it into the video: Well, it's taken me three months to get this far, and I can't devote nearly as much free time over the next three months... and as much as I'd like to incorporate all three, they never appeared together onscreen anyway. I'm not sure how I'd justify it. I'm sure Podtastic would like to see me go completely off-script, and throw in a bunch of Invid models I've yet to complete... 😅 Well, they don't scale at all, of course... ...but you already knew that. Moscato's Macross kits are all 1:72 scale.

    It was the Star Wars of its generation, groundbreaking for its technical achievements, highly influential in its production design, and widely praised for its originality among those unaware of what had "inspired" it. Incidentally, Episode I was released in 1999, 22 years after the original Star Wars. The Matrix was released the same year... 22 years before The Matrix Resurrections.
