    This I am completely fine waiting 'til 2018 to see again.

    Yeah, I can dig that. I can see why people like it. I just didn't, as much.

    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.

    IIRC, Peter Cullen based his Optimus voice on his brother, who was a Vietnam vet, right? I seem to recall something to that effect, but I dunno if I'm thinking of Cullen, Bob Ross, or someone else entirely. Anyway, something completely unrelated to the above question, a continuation of that essay series I posted before. Does get into feminist theory for those of you adverse to that (if the title wasn't obvious enough), but veers more to the side of academia than... "political tool," I suppose (and even notes the distinction between the two). Anyway:

    Huh. What a coincidence, the Let's Play channel I watch most just uploaded a video playing the demo:

    The Neon Genesis Evangelion manga didn't finish 'til 2012 or so. And then there's Berserk...

    Both are available as regular retail kits (you have to buy the Mikumo Deculture Decal kit for the white Draken). ...or do you mean DXes, as I'm now suspecting?

    You know, I've never used Mr. Surfacer. I'll be sure to check that out when I restock my supplies.

    ^ I... I keep double-checking to make sure there isn't Japanese characters anywhere...

    I just now saw the little 5 peeking out from within the thread title. Touche.

    ...I thought SF2 never came out?

    Thanks for the tips, guys. I made a small "dot" of sprue slurry by mixing together some sprue shavings and the thin cement on a plate, then used that to fill in the hole (which was the smallest thing, just like if you took a needle and pushed it into the plastic). For that size, I thought MAYBE the gel would be okay, but I'm glad I decided not to use it. (I didn't know or forgot about the shrinkage issues, especially.) No superglue, I'm afraid. Well, only an old gel bottle I used when I got the Tomy VF-31A months ago, but I haven't checked to see if it's still good (probably not) and it's a gel type, anyway, not the thin liquid variety. Boy, it's way past due for me to clear/refresh my supplies.

    Hey all. Just a quick question, one I've asked others in the past but forgotten the answer to. Have any of you used gel-style plastic cement as filler? I'm talking for like the shallowest of gouges, just deep enough that sanding it away will cause more problems than it solves. I'm trying to repair an imperfection from using dull nippers and accidentally removing too much plastic from a kit. If so, how's your experience been? My small-area filler of choice (for like 2-3 years) was a bottle of plastic sprue dissolved in thin cement, but my bottle has since dried out and the slurry is so viscous as to be solid. I have two-part epoxy, but it's a whole half a table away and inside a cupboard door. And some tubes of Squadron green putty and Bondo glazing/spot putty, and autobody filler in the garage, but all of them are years old and probably no good anymore, and anyway, it's midnight here and I'm too lazy to use anything but the stuff immediately in front of me, which includes a bottle of thin cement, a tube of gel cement, and a kit I'm sanding the seam lines away on. Thanks.

    These might also be of interest, then. I bought the first one and my first thought was "This will be perfect if I ever want to DIY a camo scheme." Best of luck.

    I dunno if you already have or not, but you all should check out the Transformers Prime movie (and the series, too) to wash the taste of this one out of your mouths.

    Nice. It's by the same company that made Skullgirls, so I'm definitely picking this up once it's on sale. I'm sad I missed out on the Indiegogo campaign.
  18. kajnrig
    Nice Jesta. You have any special plans for it?

    This showed up on my doorstep earlier today. Ignore the soup and the mecha; had to take the picture at an awkward angle because of my phone charging.

    Yeah, I dunno about Buyee, either. Five minutes of looking around got me nothing. From Japan makes it fairly simple, though - copy/paste the P-Bandai product page URL into FJ's search bar and it'll take you directly to a preorder page. http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/special/order/confirm/http%3A%2F%2Fp-bandai.jp%2Fitem%2Fitem-1000115790/N_1/lgk-link_search_url_sp

    That's Amuro's emblem in general, I think, not just the Nu. It looks like probably a P-Bandai Amuro-piloted Mk. II

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2017/06/22/mari-iijima-on-music-macross-and-minmay/ I'd post the text/commentary, but Forbes doesn't like my adblocker. But I saw this on my news feed, figured you guys would like. I'm guessing it's written by the same guy (someone here? I forget) who's written Macross articles there in the past.

    When I first saw the Hazel, I thought it was a Mk. II spinoff, so it makes sense it'd use the Mk. II frame. I STILL sometimes see AoZ designs and think they must be from Zeta/ZZ.

    Even Stargazer had 45 minutes to tell its story... How many episodes does this one have again? Five? Six? Times 3 minutes each and that's still less than a single broadcast episode. And this is no Makoto Shinkai, they don't know how to tell a galaxy-spanning epic drama in 25 minutes. AND this first episode was more a trailer than anything else. Shame. Cool Tristan design, terrible execution all-around otherwise. EDIT: ...or is this actually just a preview and not the first episode proper? That would certainly explain a few things. (But it aired a couple hours ago, aka 12pm Japan Standard Time, 23/6/17, same date as the air date...)

    Oh, that's cool. What forum? For whatever reason, I never pegged the HLJ guys (Syd? Todd? or another employee?) as forum members.
