  1. That is definitely one of the thousand words that came to my mind. Or maybe it was just that one word, a thousand times.
  2. A picture worth a thousand words:
  3. Wow, nice. So they're doing much better than Lego on that front.
  4. That does look nice! I'm interested to know the ratio of printed parts to stickers.
  5. You know that feeling when you're hoping things are mis-transformed in official pics? 🙂
  6. Huh, another difference I didn't notice consciously! Good eye. Looks like they're leaving themselves the option to leave off the rear cockpit extension in future releases if they want to match the official design. Hmm, so what do we think of the feet in fighter mode, gang? They don't stick out too badly IMO.
  7. I like the price. Can't say I like any of the design changes. The LERX position in Armo Soldier mode is surprising, I didn't notice that before. I'd like it a lot more in a canon color scheme, and without the high-heeled boots. I assume the feet stick out too far in Fighter mode until pics prove otherwise.
  8. I also appreciate that they somehow captured the essence of the box art pose without him looking like he's squeezing one out:
  9. There's the money shot. About as good as I could have asked for.
  10. Yay! I won't lose any sleep then.
  11. Good to know. But I don't even care about the tariff stuff*. I'm just worried about them not getting any Treads, or not getting enough. *I mean, I do, but that's a whole different subject.
  12. Anyone else have the Tread on preorder from BBTS? I haven't heard anything and I'm wondering if they'll be able to honor my preorder.
  13. The terrible gaps, the bad proportions, the wrongness of the legs and shoulders...it might be the perfect Robotech toy!
  14. It looks bad but I don't think it's a Disney problem. It's late stage capitalism problem. Everything is enshitified, including animation. Lower budgets, hiring less talented/cheaper animators, using algorithms/AI to generate in-betweens and animate, manipulating vectorized images to animate instead of hand-drawing more frames, all that. People of course deny that animation studios even do this stuff, when it's proven they do. They will also swear up and down that anime is just as good as ever, when it clearly looks lifeless and sloppy next to hand drawn cel animation. Strong recency bias with anime fans these days.
