  1. So what's wrong with all those YF-19s?
  2. I think the creators were surprised by the negativity to the long episodes. They were like "it's on streaming, you can stop it whenever you like." Even so, it's sooo much easier to stop it when it actually is transitioning to a new episode and there seemed like a couple spots they could have split it up. There were only two aspects I didn't really love:

    Like matchbox did in the Robotech line eons ago.
  4. Reviews seem to be skewing positive with a few vocal dissents. Probably stupid fun ather than thought provoking art. I might go see it.
  5. Everyone knows the best military footware is a 6" heel.
  6. My guess is that this is from the universe where Stick and company's ride armors look like the ones made by sentinel. If you are hung up on original aesthetics then you're likely to be frustrated.

    Given how strong the $ is against the Yen, it's cheaper to buy from Japan and have it shipped (but it sold out everywhere).
  8. Yep, that pretty much nailed it.
  9. Was updating my address when it sold out an anime export. I suspect I'll be able to find it later... It came back in stock so I completed the purchase. Yay (?).
  10. That's my big disconnect, it's hard for me to imagine this fairly somber film being a kids favorite movie (or a remake of it). I guess I was expecting something more ID4 or Star Wars.
  11. I saw it at El Capitan in LA today. That place is dope. My 7 and 9 year olds and my wife loved it. I thought it was alright. I was hoping for something more light-hearted with more of a "OMG Buzz is so awesome!" vibe. I probably wanted that because that's what I would think would be a kid's favorite movie. It's not that but still fun.
  12. That yellowed DX VF-1 is confusing because it was transformed after being left on display in fighter mode in front of a window. If you imagine it in fighter mode, all the yellowing makes sense: outsides of the legs, none on the arms, chest and back, none on the heat shield. He probably transformed it back to put it in the box to ship it to someone else and then took the pics.
  13. I don't know if my kids are old enough... but I'm taking them anyway!
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Wow, I just got my Mirage and you're already getting super parts? They like you more than me!
  18. 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.
  19. Ugh, I was hoping to ship this before the new rates go in place... gonna be cutting it close!
  20. 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.
  21. Also, the first Macross Frontier movie is terrible. SOMEONE HAD TO SAY IT! The second one is *kinda* saved by mech porn.
