  1. Simmer down Tekering. How tall is an Atlas? I assume it's much larger than a Scopedog in the Votoms universe.
  2. On the old Yamatos it could be a nightmare, at least until you'd done it once... I can't recall if taking them off was just as bad.

    Soltic is an entire mold that, as of right now, is web exclusive. Same thing for Timp!
  4. I don't know... Most people didn't seem too thrilled with bureaucracy taking front stage in the prequels, I think that's a big part of why the new trilogy has basically not touched on it to the detriment of the stories. We don't even understand what the republic was at this point. The Empire was just bad in the OT and we didn't need to learn a lot about why it was bad... I suspect these filmmakers want to return to that simple backdrop. The good guys were just good... Until Lando.
  5. That was entertaining but I'm afraid almost all Star Wars films fall apart with scrutiny (there are great takedowns of the prequel trilogy that should be required viewing among the new film makers). Sleeping in a dead animal won't keep you warm and a personnel carrier that can be tripped is silly... And that's not even touching ewoks. The slow chase was awful though and really did involve a whole lot of brain shutting off.
  6. Looks faboo!

    Yeah, I've barely handled it but so far I'm meh.
  8. Did miria come with a baby pod? I don't remember seeing one.
  9. I suspect Max is just more popular.
  10. I bundled with my Garland so I'll be waiting a few months in this one.
  11. That's the same hand breakage I had, what an awful design. Is the cockpit breakage glue that didn't set or broken plastic, I can't tell from the pic.

    Spartan says it's a proxy item so there are fees.

    Such a good deal, wish I had the room.
  14. I saw it again last night, like it more now. My wife didn't like it as much a second time around. For me it was a couple items I had forgotten that answered issues I had with the plot, particularly around Benicio’s rule.
  15. Many of the problems stem from decisions made by ET (undersized pegs, glued tabs instead of screws or other connections), but some are also bad manufacture, like I had a warped wing.
  16. Ha, maybe not scaling fine, but fitting in well size wise.
  17. No, you're way off on that. A great movie has thought put into every scene and it's almost impossible to catch it all in one viewing. You're asking for the extreme dumbing down of cinema which is generally what we hear people lamenting. A good movie should be a fun viewing the first time, no argument there, but it should get better as you watch it more.
  18. HG licensed those Popbox pilot figures, some super poseables, and several 1/100 toys as DYRL merchandise. This may have been clarified after the fact since there was some more legal wrangling but otherwise it seems they can do DYRL stuff.
  19. No, it doesn't seem they do.
  20. Hopefully you are about to see a big bump in production quality! Unfortunately, I have to learn some new software and a new camera so it might cause a delay... but my reviews have never been timely :). I haven't seen the Zeta appear on most the retailers I normally go to (CDJ, NY, HobbySearch) so I wonder if it didn't go to "order stop" at HLJ while they wait for ET to make an official announcement OR while ET reconsiders their release schedule.
  21. Oh man, bummer, I think my Max is shipping with it.
