    Damn it... I paid for my Bandai kit just a couple days ago, too. Oh well. I guess I can compare the two...

    Nice. Thanks so much. Now I won't have to shell out the same amount for the long-OOP regular RVF.

    Oh, I prefer fixed-pose hands. I was just commenting on the SIZE of the hands. They look two sizes too big.

    The MG Ground Gundam has the exact same problem. It's an issue with all older MGs, I imagine. (The Wing Zero/Ver Ka had ratcheting knuckle joints, but the same overall design.) It's a design flaw carried over from their 90s 1/100 NG/HG kits. I remember the 1/100 EW kits were nearly as bad, redeemed only by the relative ease of weapon designs (and the lack of articulated thumb).

    Just got my payment request as well, hoping to ship it with the TomyTec 31A that should also be releasing soon. Shame it won't come with swappable fixed-mode tail fins, but oh well. Looking forward to it nonetheless. ...also those hands look rather alarmingly big. Hopefully it's just me.

    Well, I just got a payment request for the 1/72 SV-262, so... there's that? Speaking of the VF-31A, the Tomy Tec one is coming out soon as well. (Guess what two kits I'll be getting?)

    Eh... To me, Bandai has never known exactly what they want in an inner frame. Recently it feels like they do it just because they think they have to. As for the FA itself, it looks awfully skinny without its FA set on.

    Binge-watched this and the last episode. My two cents:
  9. kajnrig
    Agreed. I was just hoping to distract you all with the 2SS so that I could have that Sahelanthropus to myself.

    For those who've been on the fence about this toy, HLJ has the Silvie 2SS as part of their weekly sale for 15k yen (60% retail): http://hlj.com/product/EVT57191/Act The sale in general: http://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?ItemGroup=WEEKLY20160815

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Has there been any confirmation (or even talk in general) of a CF Draken?

    Thanks so much for the head's-up. So it seems these WERE an event exclusive. And they're using stickers and not decals, at least from the pics, which is unfortunate. But super cool either way.

    *whimpering sounds* You... You wouldn't happen to have advice on proxy bidding, would you? EDIT: Well, took a dive and set up an account with From Japan. Hopefully this goes well.

    The Wing series isn't popular, apparently. Not in Japan, and certainly not enough in America that people will flock to the merchandise in sufficient numbers. Me, I'm fine with the old 90s Heavyarms Custom, and the majority of the old 90s EW kits in general. (I think their weapons are, across the board, equal to if not better than their MG counterparts.) Probably the only kits that I think benefited greatly from the MG upgrade are the Shenlong and Altron. If push comes to shove, you can just repaint the regular MG and throw the old HG gatlings on it. It'll be cheaper by far. Now if they release a P-Bandai Serpent, THEN I'll take back everything I said and jump on it post-haste. I can't wait to see the Ground GM and Origin Guncannon. I hope the former shares parts/design from the Ground Gundam and not from the Ez8. Almost certainly it'll at least take its head from the Gundam Ground War Set, which featured a then-new GM head with neat clear visor over mechanical/camera detail.

    Do they have a suicide epidemic similar to Japan's, or...? Just remembered one part I really liked was when whats-her-name changed into Enchantress for the first time to convince the Pentagon(?) to OK Waller's plan. How the fingers peek out and then flip over. That was really nice, really creepy.

    But all that said, it certainly isn't DC's WORST modern superhero movie. That would have to be a toss-up between Green Lantern and BvS.
  18. kajnrig
    This doesn't address my point, which has less to do with the sequential progression of events so much as the reasoning for having the scene play out that way at all, and moreover the decision to shoot/direct/frame it in the way that they did. It was plainly obvious to me as well that
  19. kajnrig
    So... yeah. Long story short, I've decided I won't see any future DC movies unless someone pays for my ticket and dinner. I don't get how DC can so consistently demonstrate such a fundamental misunderstanding of their own franchise characters. They decide that a simple flashback to a capture sequence should involve Batman bloodying Harley's nose and then passionately kissing her less than twenty seconds later. I just... God, that's gross.

    Good thing you did, too. If I remember correctly, the original AA came bundled with Games for Windows Live. Since that DRM is now defunct, you wouldn't have been able to install the game at all. ...at least as far as I last heard. I'm sure you can download a modified installer or something to get around it.

    Lol I'll admit I'm more interested in him as a sort of romantic comedy protagonist. His infatuation with Walkure, and especially his reaction to them last(?) episode, resembles a 12-year old's first foray into puberty, when the last vestiges of "Ew, cooties!" clash with "Why does looking at this make my willie hard?" Could also be that he's gay, but whatever it is, he's clearly primed to go on a romantic adventure. I'm also curious about Windermeran life stages. It seems like they're more or less the exact same as humans, and with the same timing, no less, but then their late 20s come around and they burn through the final stages of life within a year or five. It's rather odd, to be honest. With such short lifespans, you wonder how they've managed to develop societally in a way that even remotely resembles mankind's cultures. I wonder if Bogue has a wife, and if he does, what his home life with her is like. ...or maybe Windermere IV's orbit is just super long, and a year for them lasts some 900 days.

    A bit of column A, bit of column B...?

    You know, you all are writing essays about practicality and whatnot, and all I think is I'd add: The Kaname/Arad/Messer triangle is interesting. The history of Windermere-Human meeting is interesting. Heck, the history of Ragnan-Human meeting is interesting. Mirage's black sheep story is interesting. Why is there a sense of Bogue as being impressive and/or an "unsung hero," as you call it? There's been similar sentiments made by others as well, and I haven't paid enough attention to the Aerial Knights to say the same.

    Already on Order Stop again. I had no intention of getting it, but geesh you folks work fast...
  25. kajnrig
    I should mention that the busts don't come with stands for the VFs (or at least the pics suggest they don't). You have to buy an Action Base 1 and then mount the kit and the bust to it. It would have been nice if they came with even just a simple arm to pair up a VF.
