Managed to get one from AmiAmi somehow. I was up until 4am failing to do this last night.

a lot of us who got screwed out of fast packs by NY might pick these up as an alternative to movie packs on the aftermarket

Yup. Still don't have any Bandai DX fast packs due to NY.

However if this release doesn't come with opaque parts for both sides I'll be skipping.

They've made it pretty easy on me. They haven't released much I'm interested in lately. I've skipped most of the PO's.

Same here. I really am only interested in the original series and even then mostly just the VF-1J and VF-1S.

Those are new Machine Robo molds? I wonder how much different these will be. Larger/smaller?

Love the Gundam Wing stuff finally coming out.

I'll be waiting for the Endless Waltz versions of all of them, but the TV series ones look great.

I don't think we'll be seeing Star Wars on the silver screen any time soon after The Last Jedi/Solo/The Rise of Skywalker's reception unless its starring the Mandalorian and/or Grogu/Baby Yoda.

I'm sitting out the the Angel Birds.  But for future reference, any tips/tricks for getting in on the initial release and/or preorder in hopes of paying retail. . . from the US?

I've only ever ordered stuff from HLJ and a couple things from CDJapan and Amazon.jp.

As noted watch this board for preorders. To know when to watch this board I suggest turning on email notifications for the threads you're interested in here.

When a lot of email activity happens you will know its time to check in here.

If the helmet horns/antennas weren't there that concept might pass for a chunky Ride Armor in silhouette.

That design is not for me, but that means more stock for somebody else if it ever gets produced.

Good season overall. I liked the villain switch-up even if it shrank the mysterious realm of the Upside Down somewhat. An antangonist that was slightly more human that can actually communicate more with the protagonists felt like a good addition.

Maybe cut down the running time of the episodes next season though. The final episode was a marathon that I kept wondering when it would end.

Probably the Lego Boba Fett minifig from the old Cloud City set.

I sold off the actual Cloud City set and just kept the minifigs from it. The other minifigs are also considered pretty rare.

I'll watch. I don't have any expectations for a Willow sequel and I'm curious where it goes.

Saw the movie yesterday and I'm not that fond of it. Pacing was a big issue, IMO. It could have been done in two hours. Especially if they lopped off some of that ending.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I feel the need to re-watch any of these shows.....but it seems (so-far) only Wandavision, What-If and Loki have any ties into what's happening with the current batch of MCU movies...

Allegedly there's a Captain America 4 in production with the conclusion of Falcon and Winter Soldier tying into it.

Wasn’t sure if this was still happening after all that drama lately 

I figure its too far along now in time and money to cancel the movie.

Next Flash film, if there is one, they'll probably be rethinking it.

Were there any fans wanting more Rogue One character stories? I always thought the movie only did as well as it did due to Disney striking when the iron was hot for Star Wars movies.

I'd rather not have helicopter lightsaber blades in a live-action series, but I'll still be watching for hopefully better material.

Stupid, but accurate:

 

Hah. Yup. Spot on.

Not feeling it given how different this looks and sounds to the original series. Guess that's why its staying on streaming rather than facing box office receipts. 

I think this movie is going to confuse a lot of the audience. Still I'm curious about it.

A prequel series. Just thinking of all the good prequels I've seen....🙊

Is this show based upon any actual Tolkien writing, or is it made up whole cloth? I'm guessing just bits and pieces of The Silmarillion if anything.

An accurate take. This wasn't the Boba Fett I was imagining. Then he got pushed out of his own show for Disney expys that are currently popular.

Now I have a use for that second Eta I got.

Going out on a limb here but I wonder if they have a Grogu series or movie planned when he is closer to being an adult that takes places hundreds of years after the Skywalker Saga?

I'm sure that's the plan. Putting Grogu in most everything Disney produces now at various ages. Like Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy in his various stages of growth.

Sarlacc and Suns of Tatoonie might be murder on the skin but they don't explain all that extra dad bod weight.

Did he eat some of that BBQ Sarlacc meat on his way out?

Its like Laurence Fishburne in the movie Predators (if anybody else saw it). Laurence was hiding on an alien planet filled with Predators and other things that could kill you in an instant yet he packed on the pounds somehow.

There’s not much for me to add here, as said by most the last couple episodes have been really good, just weird that they had the least amount of Boba Fett

I've seen it theorized that the last two episodes of The Book of Boba Fett were redressed Mandalorian season 3 episodes because the actual Fett show is pretty bad. Makes sense to me.
