    Same here. It's a real shame. The series has some spectacular original designs, especially the PSP games.

    Sheesh, that is one hell of a premium price... Is it even a kit at all? That seems more the price you'd pay for a regular add-on release.

    I feel like this bit of news, while unfortunate, is topical. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/woman-dies-after-jet-engine-air-blast/ar-BBEkmRB Speaking of atmospheric, Frontier always makes a point of showing the VF-25 eject its Super parts before entering atmosphere, but Ozma never does with his Armored Valk. Is this just him brute-forcing his way around in atmosphere, or is the Armor Pack designed to be aerodynamic? (Certainly doesn't look like it...)

    Wasn't interested, and then that damn swimsuit decal. God damn it, Japan...

    Half in the Bag review, since I know a lot of you are fans of theirs (Spider-Man starts around 23:51): Finally saw it yesterday. I'd been avoiding this thread like the plague and yet was persistently tempted by that damnable little star icon. Anyway, some thoughts:

    Ah, good to know. Thanks. I've never known of a Chinese person named Myung... but then again, I've also never heard of anyone Korean being named Myung, either.
  7. kajnrig
    Is Myung "Korean," insofar as one can have a nationality in the post-SDFM world? I was writing a story where people pronounce the word "Hmoob" (or "Hmong," if written in English) as "Myung," and googling turns up that it's a fairly common Korean family and first name.

    Hey everyone. I saw a Twitter post on Facebook about the Armor pack, and I was just wondering: Is this the Reactive Armor pack as a kit, or is it a VF-0A/S + Reactive Armor kit?

    Gundam Twilight Axis episode 2 (unofficial stream, I believe the rest of the episodes are exclusive to a Gundam club or something?). Not as nonsensical as last episode, but I still don't know what the frakk is going on. I'm just gonna wait 'til the last episode when the budget finally kicks in.

    Freedom, Justice, Strike Freedom... I still can't tell which is which. They all look the same (I think), and their names are stupidly interchangeable. Now Stargazer, there's a memorable Gundam for you...
  11. kajnrig
    Sure is. Did you use one of their regular-ish xx%-off coupons, or some other discount? Either way, nice grab. Apparently there's another Gunpla bonus parts campaign going on: https://hlj.com/summer-gundam-2017

    I know a bunch of you are history buffs, so this might be of interest to you. I haven't watched it yet myself, it just showed up on my Youtube feed.

    If that's what you think, then fine I guess, but... like, I dunno how her having a male name (even though it isn't strictly) has any bearing on the fact that she's without a doubt best girl.

    For my part, I liked that the first movie designs were varied in their design influences/inspirations, and Gypsy 2.0, at least, seems... "safer." Still super cool, though, and definitely getting me hyped for the sequel.
  15. kajnrig
    Should this thread maybe be closed and all future news/discussion be handled in the sequel thread? It's slightly confusing keeping track of who says what about what subject in which thread.
  16. kajnrig
    What this? All Google shows me is Quanta with its armor off...

    In case anyone's interested, there's a really good sale on a bundle of kits over at an online store called Banzai Hobby. I've shopped there only once before, but everything went fairly smoothly iirc. The bundle is 7000 JPY and includes the following: - 1x Bandai 1/72 VF-31J Siegfried Hayate use - 1x Bandai 1/72 SV-262Hs Draken III Keith use - 1x Bandai 1/72 VF-31J-corresponding Super Pack - 1x Bandai 1/72 SV-262Hs-corresponding Lil' Draken set - 2x Limited Edition Macross Delta decals (pics at link) http://banzaihobby.com/77-sale/bandai-plamo/macross-delta-siegfried-hayate-pack

    Hasegawa VF-31

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Model kits

    You'll have to drill a hole if you want to use the peg connector on most stands. Bandai's action bases have multiple connector types, but none that would easily work with airplane models. A metal/acrylic rod pegged into the underside of the kit wouldn't be too hard. Didn't they? (Bandai, I mean.) edit: nope i'm thinking of the yf variant

    For what it's worth, the SV-262Ba and this Lil' Draken release are both limited edition releases. Same (probably) with the VF-31A and all the other -31 variants. A Bandai -31E will almost assuredly be P-Bandai exclusive. I mean, I hope not, but it probably will. I don't know if Bandai's Delta kits have done all that well for them, all things considered.

    Very much agreed that Gadot does a great job given with what she gets. (Also, every time them gams flash on-screen... Zettai Ryouiki indeed.) Another minor nitpick: Everyone charging forward with their firearms. It was as silly here as it was in Dark Knight Rises, and here they do it many, many, MANY times over, and they do it with bolt-action rifles to boot, AND they never have bayonets affixed to double boot. RE: the pacing issues, I was wondering how the editing could have helped get to the story proper (WWI) more quickly, and it occurred to me that one problem I kept having was just mentally placing where everything was geographically and in relation to each other, the current state of the war, etc. Themyscira has all the indications of being Mediterranean, with super Greek architecture and culture, but they leave it and go straight to England, and from there to Belgium. So either they travel all the way around Spain and France in their dinghy, or Themyscira is located somewhere in the North Sea, and their paradise is just... Zeus magic? I thought his magic barrier was just to keep it hidden, but it also controls the climate? Why? And why a Mediterranean/coastal temperate climate, specifically? (It's almost as if it's just for convenience's sake and Themyscira SHOULD be in the Mediterranean and be hidden just by the fact that it's a remote island in the middle of nowhere.) But anyway, once they get to the war, it's hard to know what's where in relation to what. I wonder if framing it as a historical war movie would have made the political and military context easier to understand. Or frame it as a conversation between Diana and Bruce Wayne in the future, where he's trying to learn more about the photo of her. It would allow him to act as an audience surrogate, asking questions about the war and Themyscira and the like.

    Came across this, thought you all might like. It certainly makes the Lupus Rex more appealing, IMO. It's by Model Bingo, the same GK company making the MG Stargazer conversion kit. Requires the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex as a base. Cost is $88 after shipping, with a release date of August. The only place I can find it on preorder: http://www.shop2000.com.tw/GK-M/product/p26017201 Images (more can be found on the above product page):

    This I am completely fine waiting 'til 2018 to see again.
  23. kajnrig
    Yeah, I can dig that. I can see why people like it. I just didn't, as much.
  24. kajnrig
    Finally saw it. Overall sentiments: "Eh..." The nephew couldn't hold it in any longer and we had to leave a few minutes early (last thing we saw was the lightning explosion), so maybe something happened in that brief span of time that completely redeems the movie's more disappointing aspects, but I'm pretty confident in my opinion that it's the best of the DCEU only by virtue of being completely average. Spoiler tag mostly for length. I just rant a bit, feel free to ignore.

    There was some sort of Arcee trio in the... second movie? I want to say there's been one more since, but I'm more doubtful than I am certain.
