  1. Kappa Hobby: https://www.kappahobby.com/products/dx-chogokin-vf-171ex-armored-nightmare-plus-ex-alto-saotome-use-revival-ver
  2. That's totally fair. I myself really like his body horror stuff, and wish he'd stick with it more often. Also, IIRC he didn't direct any of the Cabinet shorts, those were other directors. Kinda sucks because I think a lot of the subject matter would be right up his alley. EDIT: I remember rather liking episode 3, The Autopsy. The rest are hit or miss, but I remember that one being an overall banger.
  3. I assumed it was ongoing BW/HG shenanigans, honestly.
  4. I wasn't able to find the Amiami links yesterday, but here they are now: Max VF-1S: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-7443 Milia Q-Rau: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=TOY-RBT-7442 I forget where I saw it but apparently these are Japan-only releases, so I wouldn't expect any international links.
  5. Didn't Hasegawa already release all three Max 1Ses? Or maybe not, I can never keep track of all the variants they've put out. Anyway, HLJ links: Max VF-1S: https://www.hlj.com/1-72-scale-vf-1s-battroid-valkyrie-max-hsg65884 Milia Q-Rau: https://www.hlj.com/1-72-scale-quadran-law-milia-movie-version-hsgm32 I think I asked this before way back when, but have they ever officially romanized her name? Is it "Milia" or "Miriya" or...?
  6. I literally JUST started gluing together the old Arii?/Bandai kit, too. Very welcome news, indeed! Milia, Max, CF, dare I hope even a Pixie Squadron Q-Rhea variant?
  7. Listened to a fun story about Navy Flight School inspired by Top Gun. About 13 minutes long. https://themoth.org/stories/danger-zone
  8. Oof. That's rough. I took a quick gander, and this might or might not help:
  9. There's a Telltale game, though I forget if it's out already or still upcoming.
  10. Yeah, bit of column A, bit of column B, maybe. Picked one up from Amiami just now. As easy as can peasy. This is such a far cry from the old days I don't know what to do with myself. Here's hoping the CF gets announced soon. Maybe they'll use WWM as an excuse to make it the Delta version this time...
  11. NTSB's initial report on the recent air show crash:
  12. YF-29 Expansion Set US P-Bandai: https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2665830001001
  13. I was content to ignore the Supers, but that stand and decals are exactly the icing I needed... Here's hoping it makes it to the US P-Bandai site as well, or better yet, a general release.
  14. IIRC, wasn't that the one that was ultimately dropped by all parties during the appeals process? (Due to the new Sony-brokered agreement.) IIRC, the initial ruling was in Big West's favor, but HG appealed, and somewhere within that appeal process both companies approached the judge to drop the litigation. I don't remember whether that nullified the initial judgement as well or just put an end to the appeal.
  15. What is the ? Trading card? Mobile game tie-in card? DLC code card? I'm debating if the artbook and illustrations are worth the extra cost or not...
  16. Oh yes, so very much this. I love the canopy design of the CF. I'd much rather have that on my Valk than the redesigned head of the others.
  17. Correct. (The Isamu YF-19 is a regular release kit.) The Alto YF-29 is an upcoming regular release kit. The Max YF-29 + Super Pack is an upcoming regular release kit. (The Guld YF-21 is an upcoming regular release kit.) The Alto YF-29 Super Pack add-on is an upcoming P-Bandai kit. So far there is no word of an Alto YF-29 + Super Pack kit, whether regular release or P-Bandai.
  18. I'd be way more excited for a CF version, but I get why they went with the hero suit. If this is the only way I can get a new-ish one, then so be it I guess. It'll pair nicely with the CF armored packs that recently showed up from Amiami.
  19. Don't threaten me with a good time! All you've done is made me imagine a Regult getting into a drunken brawl and whipping out the patented Zentraedi Drunken Kickboxing Style!
  20. Given all the BS technology that goes into the YF-29, I wouldn't be surprised if it also included hyper dyper super dimension inertia (drift) store converter that would make the experience for him akin to driving a mildly tuned sports car. Like a Miata with the top cover removed or something.
  21. Wanting a line art accurate transforming YF-21 is wanting all your groceries in one bag and for it to not be heavy.
  22. I need to get into an old folks home. This whole time I read Hikuro's "1999[.co.jp/eng]" and was thinking "dalong." So I was confused as hell thinking something must have changed and I was somehow "grandfathering" my way into using the site as I usually did or something. It took electric indigo writing dalong out in plain sight for me to realize my brain fart. But yes, using 1999.co/Hobby Search (it also doesn't help that it's called Hobby Search but its URL is... just the year it was established or something?) has definitely become more annoying ever since Bandai dropped the hammer. Especially when you don't know 1) the internal code it uses to reference these items or 2) the name of XYZ kit in kana form. To get anywhere, you have to either start from googling pre-existing English product pages and fudging with the URL, or navigating the site in a completely foreign language. Thankfully, it's becoming less and less necessary to interact with that store, though I did just recently get a pair of Wave's Phalanx kits from there and the process was as straight forward (and positively archaic) as ever.
  23. Can you clarify what you're talking about? The site seems exactly the same as it ever has to me, but I wonder if I use it in an unconventional way. (I open up the "English Catalog" page for X/Y/Z section in its own window/tab so it doesn't show the sidebar that the site usually has. I'll rarely do the same with the English sidebar page as well.) - 'that function' = ??? - what kits don't they list? P-Bandai stuff? - delete URL?
  24. What's the story behind the Cucuruz Doan's Island animation, again? Wasn't it something like ? If so, did they recently redo the rest of the original show in this style of animation (or a similar modernized style), and the omission of this arc prompted this production? It seems like such an out of nowhere thing to decide to retcon.
