Why does pegbuzz keep posting then deleting??

Chris

I think he’s just worried that he may have said some things that may come off as being offensive. Sometimes when we make comments we say things that may not seem that bad at the time and upon rereading or someone pointing things out we realize that maybe it could be. 

 Not gonna lie, I’ve been there and maybe I should take a few things I’ve said back, but I’m a bit on the lazy side and don’t. We all get a bit passionate and sometimes overly passionate about the things that interest us

 We are all friends here, but the rules of the forum are a bit different than the rules at a bar.

 For his real reason, you’re gonna have to ask him personally 

It really is an ugly toy. That being said, I would love to see someone repaint and customize it to look good. I honestly haven’t seen too many toys at that price with such a horrible look.

Nice

It's Bandai...and the only reason this anime exists is to sell kits.  Hopefully, we will get regular release kits, but I doubt it.  They will probably be all P-Bandai, reusing the existing Gundam the Origin kits or the Revive versions as a base.  If they do master grade, they will be based off the GM Sniper kit.

I have a feeling that the basic guncannon would be standard and since the backpack is totally different the missile variant would be exclusive. Hopefully at least one of the gms will be standard, they look very similar to the origin gundam and I think that’s where most of the parts are coming from both in hg and if they do an mg. As far as mg origin kits, I think they only did the gundam so far. Might be nice to see something else, but more than likely hg kits

Hope these get some kits. I like the updated gm 

Well, this episode was more interesting than the last one for sure

It’s not that hard to get rid of the HUD lines on the visor.

I’ve done it for all three of the ones I currently have.

The question though is whether to keep the visor purple or dye it blue?

I’ll probably sound like a broken record, but if I have to pay that much for a toy, I really don’t want to put in all the work of modifying it. And this particular release would require modifications for the helmet, face and repainting. It’s just not worth it for me. I’ll wait and see if they make her for those little beaver ones, but so far it doesn’t seem like it

Glad I skipped it. The pumpkin head visor thing has always bugged me on these and the helmet off face is just horrific. All that mixed with the raspberry sherbet color is just not worth it

Claiming new Trek is trying to be like/ripoff Dune is honestly a massive stretch. Especially given how much Picard season one stole from the first Mass Effect game.

It’s probably the other way around since they probably went back in time and altered the future which is now our past again 

Definitely would want Joe, but I don’t know if there’s ever been a Berg Katse figure. It be fun for the team to have someone to kick around

The clear parts on the missiles and guns of the destroids makes me hesitant- not sure if they will make those light-up, which some may think is cool but is a bit of a turn-off for me. I'd love a Phalanx but not with light up missiles. And the whole gun pod assembly on the Tomahawk lighting up? No thanks.

These are just prototypes that are unpainted. They probably just molded those parts on the same runner as the clear parts and will be painted later. Then again who knows

Damn it's really 80% Ginn High maneuver parts, just missing the leg booster, the chest armor and the weapons. I hope they do that soon too!

I’m pretty sure they’ll milk this as much as possible and probably all the cool variants will be exclusives as well 

Saw a few more demona figures in store today. Haven’t seen the others yet. I kinda thought she would be harder to find

I just got that email. At least the shipping won’t be so bad for anyone interested

Found out what happened with Dragonball Z Smash Battle after reading the comments in the kickstarter a bit.  Basically the license holder in Japan pulled KidsLogic's ability to release anywhere other than Japan.  And that was for a game that wasn't made yet.  So I'm hoping that they really tried in good faith to deliver and these issues won't be a problem for this game because the base game is already made and has already been released (even stateside).  My only concern is that

1) their funding goal is too low (low margins means if anything goes wrong, they end up making less money than they spend)

2) They are caving to making more models for transformation modes they hadn't initially planned.

I think a lot of these miniature kickstarters screw themselves by over promising the number of miniatures they can really deliver (see: Palladium).  Hope that is not the case here.

I don’t think the licensing is an issue here. These are under the Robotech brand and are using the designs that had already been used for Robotech. If I’m not mistaken dragon ball toys are licensed through Bandai and it’s affiliates and that’s probably where the problem came in on those.

I can’t really speak on the Kickstarter side of things, but they may have a strategy to get their money back by hoping the customers will be interested in further minis. Most of these minis probably only really cost a few cents to make. Designing them probably costed more than the manufacturing though 

Just finished the two available episodes of Outer Range and so far I really like it. There seems to be some not so subtle hints as to what’s going on and what that whole is . Even the preview kinda gives it away. Lots of talk about time and hands of a clock kinda stuff. It’s definitely a bit weird and now I gotta wait till Friday unless I fall into some mystery hole that sets me in a time where I can just binge the show all at once

The first 2 episodes of WandaVision were difficult to watch.  I think my wife skipped them completely. 

This Classic Loki scene is still one of the best MCU scenes.

 

My girlfriend almost had me watching it by myself as well. I still don’t know anybody other than my girlfriend and my daughter that have watched it. Every coworker I’ve talked to couldn’t even be bothered to get past the first episode even though I’ve tried to tell them it gets better after the third one.

My own rankings so far of the D+ Marvel TV series....

1) Wandavision

2) Loki

3) What If...

4) Moon Knight

5) Hawkeye

6) The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

 

I find Moon Knight kind of slow and disappointing so far....already halfway through the season and I feel it hasn't progressed much, hoping it gets much better really quick....I'm interested in eventually finding out how this character will tie into the general MCU...if at all...

My list would have Loki on the top, then Falcon, Hawkeye, what if then wandavision at the bottom. That doesn’t mean that I disliked any of the shows so far, it’s just that it was so hard to get into wandavision that we almost gave up on it and I still don’t think I’d ever rewatch it because of how bad those early episodes were.

After this last episode of moon knight I’m not sure where it fits yet. The multiple personalities are starting to get a bit too gimmicky and a bit frustrating. He never explained what the problem was to anyone that mattered, this episode felt like it kinda was going nowhere. Hope the next episode gets things moving.

Those bootlegs bring back memories 

 I was kinda wondering about official releases in English since the movies are gonna be shown in the U.S.

Sorry I was a bit vague. I was heading out the door when I noticed those preorders. Unfortunately they didn’t have the big armed chad gundam that a few others wanted the last time, but I figured someone might have found something interesting there even though most aren’t really new.

Wait what? They're coming back? Wooohoooo!!!

One of my faves!

 

That’s a pretty good one. My all time favorite was the Bobby and the devil guitar battle episode. 

I also really enjoyed the one with the modern fur trappers going through the high rise in a canoe

I think I’ll skip it. Sounds the same as the old one. If it didn’t use stickers I might have picked one up

There’s a few older exclusives going up for another round of preorders tonight on the U.S. site in case anyone is interested. Nothing too exciting though 

Wasn’t sure if this was still happening after all that drama lately 

Can’t wait for more Kids in the Hall. Although they’re far from kids these days
