Interesting. Thanks. They're not exactly taking any initiative here to ask the manufacture why the order is months late. Seems like they would want answers, so as not to leave their customers hanging.

Did you ever ask or get an answer?

'Matchbox The Movie' arrives Oct 9 on Apple TV
danth replied to davidwhangchoi's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I can't imagine what this movie will have that makes it "Matchbox". Cars are just cars. I have literally seen this exact movie 10 times in the last 4 years. -
I've been a Macross fan my whole life and never noticed this!

Damn, this one sucks. I adored her. She was fantastic in everything.

"He-Man and Masters of the Universe" Film by Sony
danth replied to Mazinger's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'll watch the movie, but want nothing to do with these toys. The Mattel Retro-Play figures (or whatever they're called) are too perfect. I don't want or need actor's faces on my He-Man toys. -
The Mars rover looks really cool IMO. Like something from the late '80s or early '90s. The Moon set is not as exciting IMO but has the beginnings of a spaceship. I'm not sure if a minifig can fit sitting down under the windscreen, because the minig is shown standing up "Slave 1" style in other images. In other news, the upscaled blue astronaut is slated for March 1st according to recent leaks.

Be careful with the hands. The tail fin sliced one of my Legioss' thumbs clean off when transforming to fighter mode. And it was easy to do. There's barely enough room inside the forearm, plenty of ways to orient the hand incorrectly, and nothing protecting the hands from the tailfin, and you have to use force to squeeze everything into place. I'm shocked more people haven't experienced it. Luckily I got a replacement hand.

I wish the wingtip guns and front canards were optional/removable. If they're gonna put hardpoints all over the damn thing, why not make the weird bits optional?
-
Yeah...adding an additional set of tailfins to the front kinda feels like something AI would do.
-
Not a fan of this particular variation, but if they do a delta wing I might be into it. Hopefully withOUT yellow/gold/orange this time.

I don't think this is true, and historically, these kind of forced gimmicks fail. Vidiyo, Hidden Side, Dimensions... The Mario theme is doing okay, I presume, probably due to the popularity of the franchise, and the quality of set designs, and if I had to guess, not at all due to the weird Mario/Luigi figures with the embedded electronics. For instance, I bought this set, but I have no interest in the Mario figure (shown faded out). But even though I don't really like that Mario figure, at least it makes sense. Mario is basically the "smart brick" in these sets, and his expressions and speech change based on the tiles he interacts with. You move him around, he says things and makes faces. That makes sense. But just having a brick, sitting there in a exposed in a weird spot, making primitive noises and flashing? That doesn't really work. What's well integrated in Mario sets is weirdly forced into these Star Wars sets.

Nice! He wasn't even on my radar until the Galaxy Explorer. Full agreement!

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
danth replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I wish I liked these. The designs are pretty weird. -
You're not wrong. The jet design is kinda whatever. I just like that you get a whole ass jet and a cool car in one set at $30. I like the jet's colors and prints, and the windscreen. I'm not sure about the angular nose, and the wings are literally just wedge plates. What do you think of Mike Psiaki's Blue Power Jet?
