    Out of the chain ones, I like Del Taco fries the best, especially the asada fries, but my favorites came from a one off called Johnny’s in Riverside ca. it was at the mythical burger corner where there are four burger places at the same intersection. They have a McDonald’s and Farmer boys on one corner, an In’n Out on another and Johnny’s on the other with a Carl’s Jr just a few feet on the other side of the freeway. I think Johnny’s was able to survive against huge competition because they were on the high ground

    I haven’t had Burger King in a long while, not so much because of a dislike, more of a fact that I can’t find one anymore. All we have with a drive thru up here is a McDonald’s, home of the sad soggy fries and worst nuggets in the biz.

    To be honest, I’m glad they’re taking their time on this one.

    For some reason, it felt ok I had a pretty good idea of where things were going for some reason. It was sort of like Titanic. Somehow you just knew what was coming…….somehow

    I’ll let you know as soon as the tomahawk comes out. It’s already been more than a few years

    I was somewhat interested to see where things would go in a year or so. Maybe better base figures or upgrades in customization on the faces or lower prices. I guess it just wasn’t a popular thing, probably due to the price because the idea was actually pretty cool.

    I get the feeling that Megafoce isn’t as much of a joke overseas

    He’s kind of a 50/50 kind guy all around. For every Alien there’s a Covenant. Not sure on shows, since I think I’ve only seen one that he was involved with and that was Raised by Wolves. That show went off the rails while jumping shark and somehow crashed into a fridge that got nuked

    If we don’t notice the mistake until it’s mentioned there’s a mistake, then it’s definitely not a fatal mistake. At least in the model world. It’s different in real life though. I think it looks great

    They still aren’t accurate, maybe just people getting disappointed by them not being accurate is a bit newer. But that is probably due to more available resources and even then it’s hard to trust the available resources. There was a lot of backlash for The Woman King for not being accurate, but then another movie that wasn’t extremely accurate would be Bohemian Rhapsody, but most people liked the it and accepted that it was just entertainment. It’s best not to dwell on the actual history and realize that if it’s Hollywood, it’s going to be a good chunk of fiction. That doesn’t excuse a movie for just being bad though and I haven’t seen Napoleon and really wasn’t interested in it anyway, but hearing that it’s not so great will probably have avoid it more

    That’s really true. But personally it could have a blank box as long as the contents and instructions are great. Box art and logos are just icing on the cake. With a lot of old kits the box was actually the best part. I could stare at those pictures and my imagination would run wild. The kit inside rarely was anything near the box art, and you really had to work on those. I’m glad that we’re in an age where we can have a cool kit as well as great box art.

    I don’t think they can do his green Skull Squadron 1A, the brown is ok, but I guess since the green is the DYRL color then it’s a no no as far as I know
  13. Big s
    I could see why they would get that impression since the display is Southern Cross, Mospeada, and Macross. Basically everything that Robotech used
  14. Big s
    I don’t think they’re allowed to do the DYRL stuff anymore. I get a little lost now and then on these rules though now that I think about it, it’s possible they may not be able to do a lot of the odd squadrons that didn’t show up in the tv series. They can easily do the cool Alaska base ones though

    Seems they’ve been doing this for a whilethis one they capitalizedand they couldn’t remember if it’s Harlock or Herlockand here’s the classic Vermilion Squadron rather than platoon
  16. Big s
    they didn’t capitalize this one either, but I’m not highly concerned as long as the kit is cool

    To be honest, I haven’t had any problems finding Bandai items. They get a markup stateside, but that’s not the same as a scalper situation. I think the real problem is the markup that I mentioned. It’s a bit higher than it should be depending more on how much the item costs rather than weight or size. An hg kit seems to only be a couple bucks higher, while an hmr in a similar sized box might be twenty or so higher.

    Those have more of an 80’s knock off kinda vibe goin. I guess it’s the knock off squadron

    That was a perfect delivery to my request and looks like a great post thanks giving set up

    Technically it is a fighter, it just fights ground targets
  21. Big s
    Looks like a real winner

    I have to agree. It’s definitely a thing you could do with the actual kit, but that bend looks awkward in art and kinda makes the leg look barely attached. There were a few instances where that was done in animation, but usually the upper leg and hip/ intake moved as one. The kit definitely needs to move those parts to get any forward poses since the back of the intake is so high and there’s not a lot of body movement to let it clear the back parts
  23. Big s
    I think it’s just an odd pose. Oddly it seems pretty accurate to how the kit moves almost more an illustration based on the actual kit than a kit based off the illustration

    The little backpack buddy. He seems really happy and gets along with his new family. Sabine seems to have ms. He Man Hair(can’t remember her name, but remember a side by side meme of her next to prince Adam.) Honestly , I probably wouldn’t remember Thrawn’s name if people weren’t talking about him. He seems like an easily forgettable character

    Hathaway is kinda the best of the bunch. It’s a lot different visually than I was expecting. It’s kinda different to see mecha combat from the eyes of those that aren’t in the machines themselves. If you didn’t like wfm, then it’s kinda the opposite in most ways
