    I don't know if my kids are old enough... but I'm taking them anyway!

    I have the Google Nest version of the mesh network and love it, it's on sale from the Google store for father's day: https://store.google.com/product/nest_wifi?hl=en-US

    Agreed! I've watched 2011 recently with my daughter and she loved it. To my surprise, we then moved onto the original and she loves that also. I was really excited to hear about another continuation but then found out it was just moving from Hulu to HBO... And I would rather it be on Hulu.

    I thought Bandai did own their own factories AND they were one of the premiere automation operations but maybe I heard wrong? We've had a lot of VF-25s and the molds would be quite old... maybe Bandai had to do a new shot of the mold which introduced tolerance issues.

    Wow, I just got my Mirage and you're already getting super parts? They like you more than me!

    No, I have young kids so it's very tough for me to get to the theater these days. While I love Macross Frontier, I was really let down by the movies... I think my hopes were just way too high after enjoying the show and DYRL. I had visions of a DYRL approach to Frontier.

    Whoops, slept through that PO.

    Ugh, I was hoping to ship this before the new rates go in place... gonna be cutting it close!

    I broke down and finally asked LP when mine will ever ship. For a minute there, I thought they were going to be my go-to store. All these years in the hobby and I've never found a store to be my absolute go-to.

    Also, the first Macross Frontier movie is terrible. SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT! The second one is *kinda* saved by mech porn.

    Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good studio going in the house I'm working out of while I build my new one. Even the photo situation is pretty bad. Still a few months out from moving again.

    Maybe in the movie he'll be like 150 but look 72 due to spice treatments.

    I love Walken but I would have expected the emperor to be younger. He's got a 16ish year old daughter right?

    You're buying into weak, easily abandoned canon in a genre known for abandoning canon way too much as a reason to dislike a drawing.

    In Robotech, stealth could just mean it doesn't have a big 'protoculture signature' like the very stealthy shadow fighter.

    I agree on the pricing. It's hard to argue it's a bargain but it certainly seems like a more complicated design than the DX VF-1 so the fact they're ballpark similar pricing while Sentinel is a much smaller company producing much fewer units, it seems like it's at least a 'fair' price. I guess the argument could be made that they should have made more parts out of metal and stepped up the price a little for a better experience but anyone involved in manufacture has to look at each part and figure out 'good enough' to make it do what its supposed to without being more expensive than it needs to be. In this case, there were a couple parts that may have been misjudged and/or a couple parts that are more prone to manufacturing issues. My Yellow broke similarly and just like this user... it never felt right so I think that part has QC issues on top of being subjected to a lot of force.

    Ooh I like what they did with the thrusters in the wheel.

    I remember drooling over 1/35 Gakken Robotech Alpha toys at Gemco... I think they were bought out and eventually became Targets.

    I'd second that. Riding a Banshee or whatever they were called was my favorite part of Animal Kingdom by a long shot. I'd second that as well. I remember the protagonist brushing away bubbles and thinking how cool that looked. I watched some of it more recently while my son watched it for the first time on a traditional screen and it was definitely 'meh.'

    Thank you! Lots of credit for that video and a ton of the content on the website goes right back to this community who were often the trailblazers and whose observations have really helped steer the reviews and guides.

    Yes, customer service if something is wrong is hit-and-miss (mostly miss) but I've never heard of them not delivering.

    Thanks, my search didn't find it but that worked!
