  1. Looks like they've been busy fixing it up with lots of odd bits
  2. That does appear to be Macross Galaxy... which nicely explains why we're getting a Frontier tie in.
  3. I'm shocked they didn't put it in theaters Halloween weekend or a week before Halloween... seems like a missed opportunity. It doesn't scream THANKSGIVING to me.
  4. Man, I gotta get around to watching the first Delta movie...
  5. The new bad guy plane is more of an X wing than I realized.
  6. I think you're not in luck, part of the discussion of the settlement is how happy everyone is to get back to all the projects they have planned together.
  7. VR = Virgin Road.
  8. They both copied from previous shows... Old spy shows... Maybe mission impossible.
  9. Ooh no, this is the one that goes with the action figures... it's basically one solid chunk of plastic with not even a hint of transformation mechanisms. To make a transforming Cyclone at that size you'd be better off starting with a scratch build.. or grab the CMs toys.
  10. A huge improvement.
  11. I think those same guys are frequent background filler in the anime so it's keeping the sight gag going, not trying to perfectly recreate something.
  12. Luna Park hasn't shipped mine yet... I keeping tapping my fingers on my desk but that doesn't seem to be hurrying things along.
  13. Sorry, I'm on the road these days, no ETA for when I'll be able to get back to doing the site.
  14. Simple but elegant. Thanks for making the video too! I'm a long way from having time but I'd love to build some models and maybe even resin kits some day.
  15. No, that's a statue, the Ultimetal Transformers, I believe, are fully articulated non-transformable bots. Bandai has some ultra premium lines they could take a stab at a VF-1 in. I'm surprised they haven't already. I can't see them dropping transformation though... but I don't see the appeal of non-transforming Transformers either.
  16. I love those pitch meetings but gotta wait until you watch the movie before you watch the pitch.
  17. While I would love to see Arcadia go deep with Kawamori's less known designs, it's also more a work of love for them than a business at this point and it's tough to expect them to love the obscure mecha as much as the stuff they also grew up watching. Coming from the ashes of a business that spread itself too thin has to make them extra cautious also.
  18. Online only still huh? I feel like that format has moved a lot of big reveals to other media.
  19. Okay, I'll hold out and hope that gets a release with subs.
  20. It's it the same discs/same video quality of the individual Blu rays they were putting out?
  21. My guess: Zendaya said she filmed for like four days so the movie must end with him doing something that establishes himself as the leader of the Fremen but before they strike back at the Harkonnen/emperor. The next movie would be him older, with a newborn, striking back and ending with him becoming emperor. This is one of those things I got into later in life, after lots of people told me "Oh the Dune series is so great!" Honestly, I found it mediocre, completely bogged down by prophesy and messianic meanderings. If I'm right about where the movie splits, it will be kind of funny because the book is such a slow burn up until it gets to that point and what I'm guessing is a second movie seems to go by in a flash when you finally get to those events. This seems like a really dicey time to release this film. It's easy to view the story as racist, some elements as homophobic, and the primary strength of women is sex, weaponizing sex, and making the right babies... some elements may not have aged so well. I'm definitely going to see it in the theaters to see how they handled all the plodding story points and those sticky points above and hopefully get wowed by some visuals.
