  1. Still INCREDIBLY dubious about their ability to pull this off.
  2. The PC version has plenty of custom skins now, but this I think is the first Macross one, a YF-29 skin for the X-02S. https://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/171?tab=description
  3. IIRC, most BDs are region-free. I don't know how/if that applies to anime distro companies, though. Let's hope that's the case.
  4. Refresh it a few times. I got the same error a couple times; they're probably swamped with traffic right now. EDIT: Try https://hlj.com/summer-sale-2019-07gun
  5. HLJ Summer sale, now with gunpla: https://hlj.com/summer-sale-2019

    Hi-Metal R

    Just an FYI. HMR VT-1 on sale at HLJ during their summer sale. There are some other Macross stuff on sale, too. https://hlj.com/hi-metal-r-vt-1-super-ostrich-bann25875
  7. Anyone know the context of this? All of a sudden it showed up in my feed and I had absolutely zero reaction to it besides "...huh...". All I know is that it has something to do with Galaxy's Edge.
  8. ^ I much prefer this explanation. Alternatively: Buxom Zentraedi women corral wild VFs and wrestle them into submission in order to tame them.
  9. Not really. I KNEW this would be a stinker, and Godzilla ended up being just as good as I expected and wanted. So for this sci-fi fan, at least, God's in His Heaven and all's right with the world.
  10. This was more the reaction I was anticipating. Y'all remember when the big bad was giving their big bad screed via a Skype chat and had stock footage queued up for B-roll? That bit in particular but that entire scene in general had me squirming in my seat wanting to get away from the cringe. I'm sure everyone on the deck of the ship were also thinking the same thing when it started turning into a family court proceeding.
  11. Board's not letting me add to the post, so I'll just say that both screenings I went to got rounds of enthusiastic applause. Despite all the dumb stuff, despite all the dumb human characters, despite tons of dumb issues that I thought for sure would turn off general audiences, it seems like people were really behind the movie, which made me feel the warms and fuzzies.
  12. Can I just say that, along with everything else everyone has said, the soundtrack is frakkING PHENOMENAL. God(zilla), the music alone made shivers run down my spine. This movie LOVES its source material in every single frame. Mothra was especially wonderful, in just every way possible. In less... caring hands, I could easily see her being completely dumbed down, or altered so drastically as to be unrecognizable. But just the slight tweaks they made to her design and character (so she's not necessarily as passive a character as she was in the Toho films while still being unequivocally a force for good), and the reverence with which all the human characters treat her, and the full-blown orchestra arrangement of her classic theme song playing with a complete lack of irony whatsoever... God I love this movie.
  13. I know the F-35 gets a bad rap, but damn if it isn't a beautiful thing to behold.
  14. Hm... I wonder if they'll at least include stowed-mode parts...

    Macross figures

    Speaking of Spirits Kuji: Will come in black, white, and pink. November release, I think it said a 5700 JPY price tag? EDIT: Ranka
  16. Eventually, IIRC. Apparently you can easily tell the A-to-D conversions by the fact that the opening for the glove vanes (thanks for giving me the correct terminology) were simply welded shut. At least that's what I remember from hearsay. Could very well be wrong.
  17. Rambo 9: No One's Ever Really Gone.
