    I saw the trailer at work last night and we were all cracking up. I hope it can be good without too much of the funny given away in trailer.

    In the trailer they say it's basically time to end the Jedi, so maybe it's Luke that wants an end to the whole dark and light thing and going back to that old idea of bringing balance to the force. That may make for a more interesting idea if that finally happens and maybe we'll actually get some good surprises in this film.

    They already had a few anime shows, like Macross And Dougram . They did have an odd cartoon years ago. I don't remember the exact name, it may have been mechwarior.

    As much as I liked the movie, that was dead on.

    I wrote above that it was a four pack, but according to the Hlj description it's actually a five pack of figures since there are two of the zwergs. Not too bad of a value for the amount of armored troopers in one package.

    I'm hyped. Looks like stupid fun action greatness. Someone is gonna splice that last part of the trailer with his other friend from work coming out of the gate.

    I think they just had a new album.

    Just saw that preorders are up for another set of arctic gear figures. A 4 pack for the god planet quent episodes and it looks fairly complete. It's been a while since I've watched but I think it's everything. Fully loaded scopedog, rabidly dog, zwerg and the berserga desert version. not many zwerg items have been produced over the decades.

    The only Q rau kit I know of that's plastic was the Imai one bandai bought the old molds for reproduction. I think that was the one pictured and I had problems with joints breaking as well. My problem was the thigh mechanism. I was trying to line up the two halves of the upper leg and the inside joint broke. I think I remade it using a kotobukiya ball joint set and filled the upper leg with epoxy to hold in the poly cap and replaced the peg joint with the ball peg. I always had to do weird replacements on joints of kits from the old days, up until the domtropen from gundam. That one I broke a shoulder peg and replaced it with a piece of sprue.

    I thought it was a good sign that Hollywood was taking anime more seriously, but the sad returns will probably hold that back another decade. I'm still hoping for better numbers this weekend, but not holding my breath.

    I think the idea here was to establish her as a main character and deal with the flaws of her personality as a beginning story rather than an established character to create a franchise where she becomes a much stronger character. We may not get that chance unless the overseas numbers grow. Most of the other characters in the film felt like an earlier version as well and had room to become something more.

    Nippon yasan is usually a good one for exclusives, but this may be more complicated due to the fact that they may not be able to sell these outside of Japan. I usually wait a couple of months after release to get the Starwars character kits from Amazon because the price usually drops to about $20 for most kits. I just got 2 shore troopers for that price. But the web exclusive thing may complicate this. Waiting may bring up the price instead of lowering it. You could check BigBad toy store or another site that has bandai Starwars kits and also deals with web exclusives. It may end up cheaper to buy the standard version with the stap and repainting the droid unfortunately, but keep up the hope.

    This film does deserve a sequel more than most franchises. I hope it gets more cash this weekend and does better when it opens in China and Japan. World of Warcraft was saved mostly by the Chinese so one can only hope.

    Next web exclusive will be ether tv armored or a 1a repaint like maybe Max, but it could be generic super parts or a weapon set for the regult. Or it could be something we don't expect.

    Looks really great.

    I was just talking about the still frame thing earlier. Didn't notice any and found it to be an improvement. It's strange, but they didn't bug me much possibly due to seeing it as a norm for decades of anime. Still a definite improvement and hopefully they keep it up.

    Opening, ending. The old opening was filled with spoilers, but I didn't really get the feeling it ruined the show when I first watched it. Not sure on the new ending, cause I didn't read the manga yet.

    May as well get the wheels.

    I have to agree that most people don't know what this even is. I think the fuchicoma or tachicoma or whatever would have felt more like a shoehorned in comedy relief and glad it was left out, but imagine how many more people would have seen it if the previews had silly spider tanks having an awkward conversation.

    It's hard to defend any X Men movie after seeing Logan.
  21. Big s
    Not really. The hmr Roy had the extra stand with early purchase and other web exclusives like dr. Strange had an extra effect piece. Some others have had other extras as well ether as an early order or special edition. Even the bandai Gundam kits have done it with items like special markings.

    It has open hands, for the ultimate slap. Although I would like the fists included, I'm happy with what's there.
