  1. Ah, that reminds me why I came back to this thread in the first place: was the Elysion a Quarter or full-size Macross? Less bread, more pineapples! wait...
  2. The newest trailer has impressively made me LESS hype for the movie. I think it has to do with a certain Messer getting a dumb upgrade, AND it's just rehashing the dumbest upgrade from the series, too. I never liked those Lil' Drakens docking onto the wing roots. And just to keep it alive: Less Itanos, more Circuses!
  3. Maybe I missed it @Falcon but did you say what shipping service you selected/they offered?
  4. I think you may have accidentally misspoke. Surely you meant the 1/72 Mechea Hurricane.
  5. Finally bingeing Kill La Kill. I dug it before, I dig it now.
  6. This should give you an idea of the size of a Metal Build Dendrobium: That's 1.3 meters from rear fin to barrel tip. Source: http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2011/09/scratch-build-1100-gp03d-dendrobium-w.html
  7. To be fair, it IS a fantasy story. Like why don't they just use the eagles? et al. And for what it's worth, it seems those of us with children can attest that our children enjoyed the movie for the most part. At least that's what I remember from the few posts I saw mentioning kids. My two nephews thought it was awesome. My niece... didn't care so much, but she's in that edgy phase of middle school going on high school. This Star Wars isn't meant for us. I wonder what our parents (or grandparents?) must have thought of the original trilogy when they first saw it. I can't imagine there wasn't a similar (maybe lesser) sense of "i can't believe I have to sit through this entire thing..."
  8. Quick question: Was it confirmed through supplementary materials or whatnot that the red guards are Kylo Ren's Knights of Ren? Are they just an evolution of the same red-clad Emperor's guards (my guess)? I see a lot of speculation that it's the former, but I don't know what's coming from "canon" and what's just headcanoning.
  9. Yeah man, I hate people who call people names: Others have voiced opinions about the movie regardless of where they land on the like it/dislike it spectrum, but literally no one in this thread except you is in the habit of calling people names to insult them. You're so super super salty. You specifically. You're not the pot calling the kettle black. You're a burnt pot in a burnt house in a burnt forest calling a kettle store black. The number of times you name-call the characters (they're not real, they can't hurt you) nearly triples this list's size. Mixed with the casual racism you like to throw around, it's kind of hard to take your complaints about "people being mean about my Star Wars" very seriously.
  10. Not sure who said it but confirmed it's reusing the old S Gundam.
  11. Getting flashbacks to the Heavyarms Custom's impossible missiles...
  12. The more I see this trailer, the more I like it. It's the music, the editing. A good trailer. The movie itself still looks underwhelming, but the trailer is good.
  13. http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-42492807 EDIT: Also this: Mark Hamill Pays Tribute to Carrie Fisher One Year After Her Death: 'No One's Ever Really Gone'
  14. http://www.slashfilm.com/the-morning-watch-dunkirk-compared-to-real-history-ghost-in-the-shell-featurette-more/ Tangentially related is this page that Google recommended. The SW part is a time-lapse build of the Death Star, but more interesting to me are the Dunkirk and GitS videos - the former comparing it to archival footage and the latter being a look at Weta's special effects work (for which apparently the movie has been nominated for an Oscar).
  15. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2017/12/26/mark-hamill-regrets-criticizing-luke-skywalkers-character-last-jedi/983326001/ Haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I wonder if his supposed regrets have less to do with their content and more with the reaction to them. I've seen them as just kind of honest expressions of conflicting feelings, but I know others have twisted them into a dig at the movie and the new trilogy as a whole. Edit: Eh, turned out to be more mundane than I thought. Seems he was just upset he expressed himself so publicly. I can appreciate that sentiment. I can also appreciate that he did make it public. Eh.
  16. Hm... a cursory google turns up nothing, but this was what I was talking about. I seem to remember seeing them in diecast too. Maybe chrome plating? I dunno. https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Vehicle-Height-Speeder-Plastic/dp/B06XCBMGY5
  17. There were some small scale model kits of the AT-ST plus snow speeder... maybe that? I forget if they're metal or not.
  18. Relevant thread here, maybe more pictures. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/43719-aoshima-vfg/
  19. Speaking of anime BDs, All the Anime (https://shop.alltheanime.com/collections) is having a 20% off sale on anything in the store. Use discount code BOX!NGCLEVER. I'm eyeing Your Name myself, as well as some other stuff. They do ship to the States, as I bought their Escaflowne box set way back when. Hoping the stuff I want is still in stock come Friday.
