    Joy of the hunt?

    I remember after weeks of looking around finding a mcfarlane toys Maxx actio figure. I didn’t have a car and was still in high school, so I wasn’t looking for big ticket items. There was a Target store on the way home and they had it sitting right in front. A few of my friends were super jealous and didn’t find one until the collector shows started getting bigger and they really marked up the price on that guy. Oddly I’ve seen it occasionally at Frank and Sons for not much more than what I paid. For a few years it felt like I had found treasure. as far as Macross toys, the good ones were only found sometimes in bad shape at swap meats and by random vendors that might be selling a mix of pots and pans, ww2 nazi junk probably smuggled home by their father at the end of the war and their kids toys that sometimes would be a hidden gem of awesomeness
  2. I love this thread so far and hopefully everyone gets a hint of where to go. Unfortunately with only hints of a scene, it’s definitely gonna be tough but I have hopes that at least some of these mysteries will be solved.
  3. They look cool, but I haven’t used a watch in a couple decades and I kinda like that freedom.
  4. As I said above mostly the hobby stuff. Near me I’ve seen some of the hasegawa Macross stuff at hobby town. They do get Bandai toys and models as well, just haven’t seen their Macross stuff yet. I say yet hoping things change soon. We used to have a hobby people store that had some interesting stuff before they closed down a couple years ago.
  5. I mentioned it in the anime section but so far after two episodes, I don’t think I care enough to finish. The animation is pretty bad and the story feels pretty weak. It’s really a lot of been there done that and not much to offer. If the animation was handled better I might at least watch it for the look, but it’s just nothing to get excited about. Maybe it gets better further into the show.
  6. Actually seems like a good idea. There’s a lot if us getting up in our age here and sometimes we remember a small scene from a tv show or movie and that’s all we can remember. Sometimes it’s only a hint of a scene and coming up with a title is pretty much impossible without some help from others.
  7. The original is the best, I don’t remember the remake much and the goofy film had me laughing at times, mostly for the pure hatred towards Chaka.
  8. Macross has been in brick and mortar stores recently. Not so much the Bandai stuff though. And mostly the hobby stuff like hasegawa kits. As far as Bandai, this is a bit of an experiment, but the problem that they are gonna have it’s that they are increasing the prices by far too much. And those toys are going to probably just be sold through collector sites because of that.
  9. I had mentioned Midnight Mass in the general streaming section and that’s mostly a religious show. I remember Dogma being brought up when talking about clerks. I think it probably is ok as long as it isn’t like a religious brochure film and we’re not pushing our own beliefs in the discussion too much.
  10. Yeah, 2 hours and almost a half is really long for a single episode . I enjoyed it though, but like I said above I had to split it
  11. The episode length was a bit tough for me to fit schedule wise. Most of the episodes were an hour and a half. They were almost as long as movies. The last episode I had to stop at the hour mark and watched the next hour and twenty minutes or so the next day. I never felt bored though, just a bit nervous I would run out of time while things were getting good.
  12. That version definitely wasn’t as bad as the Kate Bush version. I hate he singing and that weird sound that’s like a wheel slipping
  13. Overall it was a good season. And the one thing I’m most glad about is not having to hear that annoying running up a hill song for a while.
  14. Great season for the Boys. Not exactly what I thought would happen. Love this show and can’t wait to see where things go next season
  15. I really wasn’t interested before, but that’s a much better offering. I kinda felt that the tank itself wasn’t worth $300. But if you add in the extra accessories and a full crew and the boss man, it kinda gets there. The classic Cobra Commander is definitely putting this in the right direction.
