Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness
David Hingtgen replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Cameo spoiler: And non-spoiler tip: The mid-credit scene is short but not super-critical IMHO (its not like, the mid-credit scene from Capt America or anything). The post-credits scene is a one-line throwaway joke from a very minor character that has zero impact on the MCU, and is VERY skippable if you just want to leave the theater.- 116 replies

I'm curious about the gold on Heavyarms----multiple layers/colors, or just a really nice single-stage gold paint?

We've seen April in ST:TAS. The encyclopedia uses a pic of Roddenberry as a sort of placeholder.- 283 replies

Speaking as a mod here, despite being a huge Trekkie: Just stop. Capt Pike said "no one" and that's how it's gonna be. End of discussion.- 283 replies

Lego's site has always had weird "routing" issues, even when I don't sign out. It'll just randomly send me to the UK, Canada, Hungary, etc. Go into the actual URL, and just change "en-uk" or whatever to "en-us".

Arcadia 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-0D for 2015
David Hingtgen replied to Dark_Ghost's topic in Toys
I'd like a 0D done in the right base colors, without needling a $200 factory weathering job to look right. Slate blue upper, very pale grey lower. Simple. Like Yamato's sample showed oh so many years ago, before they completely changed it at the last minute for the actual release. -
Nope, Delta is just that different from Frontier, story/theme-wise. It LOOKS similar, animation-wise, but that's about all they have in common, IMHO.

Star Trek: Picard (CBS All-Access)
David Hingtgen replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Is anyone else less "concerned" about 2024 having drone-based force-fields, and more by the fact that it was turned off about 5 secs after she was injected? Genetic lung/skin defects cured before a single cell had time to replicate? Heck of a stress-test too. Instead of being in a dark room with filtered air, and slowly seeing how she reacts to increasing exposure----just throw everything at her at once, and hope she lives!- 1436 replies

I genuinely liked the first season of Build Fighters. But it went down hill and the sequels were mostly utter trash.- 3282 replies

Oh, I guess we were supposed to pay close attention to her rapid-fire turn-down-the-guy-at-the-bar spiel, because it quickly explained how she got away with murder. 🙄- 1436 replies

Star Trek: Picard (CBS All-Access)
David Hingtgen replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm 3 episodes in, and are they really just not going to mention at all that Dr Jurati murdered her mentor last season? Everyone on the Stargazer was just cool with her hanging out on the bridge?- 1436 replies

I somehow missed the necropost! But hey, I'm here now! It's been a dozen years so now I can't remember what the ones I was originally thinking of looked like any more---these may or may not be it! -

One tip for Bricklink etc: Dont forget to check Lego themselves. 32 axles? I bought several for $2 each, when they were far more expensive anywhere on bricklink. Rare inverted slopes in orange? Bought dozens cheap from Lego.com, when there was literally only a single seller at Bricklink wanting several dollars EACH. If it's a cheap common piece (black 1x1) Lego themselves will never be a good option---they rarely go below .11 for a piece, and never below .08 IIRC. Buy a hundred for .03 each from a big seller. But anything that's .50 or more on bricklink----see what Lego wants. Lego has a narrow range that they sell parts for---never super-cheap, but also never ridiculously expensive.

Even more complicated than that: Go about 5:30 in for a look at them: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Ynh_6tA9s

The Transformers Thread (licensed) Next
David Hingtgen replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Made by Tomy, so official? But the insignias are 3P, so... I'm now up to 2/3 of my "MP action-master" Team Bullet Train! (Rapid Run is used and missing an antenna, but I got him really cheap, and I should be able to get a replacement with my pending shipment to get parts to build Midnight Express) (I'm not buying entire trainsets brand-new only for one car!) It would be neat to have them run together, but it's basically impossible due to the real things being unable to couple together, and unable to run without the rest of their cars----and the models reflect those aspects accurately. (they do light up though, if powered on)- 14434 replies

Classified recolors---now they're *too* toony IMHO. Reminds me of MP TF's-----"let's make them look as smooth and bland as possible, to get that cheap animation look". Like, I want my Gung-ho wearing blue as much as the next guy----just not bright neon blue and a giant 'stache. And making EVERY strap the exact same blue? Yeah, that was to simplify the animation and the original toy paint apps. Don't do that nowadays I want SOME realism in my classified figs. Use the toon and original figs for the colors, but not EXACTLY. Don't color them so boldly and simply that now you're hiding all the details.

And it's here. 5 days door to door, that's pretty good for EMS from Japan.

Package left Chicago this morning----and just arrived back in Chicago tonight. Exact same building. I'm not sure if it's actually gone through USPS customs or not.

I just recently shipped a package from Yahoo auctions Japan (via proxy) and it was about 50 for EMS, 70 for FedEx or DHL. Went EMS. Got to Chicago one day after shipping from Japan. Will see how long customs etc take.
