    It’s definitely not something I’ve tried before, and the more I run the idea through my head, the more thoughts of more ways things could go wrong

    I think that’s more of a last ditch effort in case I screw up the included bubble. But it is a good idea, because my preferred method is kind of untested and I’m not really sure what I’d be getting myself into. There’s actually a pretty good chance of disaster

    Karate Fu kid?

    Thanks for the link, that’s actually pretty useful

    Same here. The year is almost over and I think that it’s a bad sign that those that haven’t gotten it won’t be getting it. We do still have a few more days til the end of the year, and maybe we’ll get a Christmas miracle. But I’m thinking that they didn’t include the U.S. in their North American promise

    Sure you can. The only thing with the kit is that it doesn’t have the the out of scale interior or the lighting gimmicks, but those are also the things that raise the price and the lighting gimmicks are always a bit silly. The hasegawa kit is actually externally detailed and has better looking joints in the knees. The time of the build is actually an additional value to the builder of a kit. It makes the end product more personal, even on a simple model. It’s also the fun part of the hobby. It’s definitely a different perspective than a person that only collects and there’s nothing wrong with that. But in the case of KC, I’ve already got a few great looking 1/72 Regults , so why buy their more expensive toy if the only gimmick that I was interested in is not going to be included. I may as well just buy the pilot separately if it ever gets released. It probably would scale better with 1/100 kits anyway, although I still think it would be a little short

    That’s odd, it looks the same as the red in the side picture, but looks very different on the front view

    So I just got the Hg Torohachi in the mail today and noticed that the clear bubble is two parts. It’s supposed to be one solid piece, but due to the shape, Bandai cut it down the middle. I looked online to see how other people handled the build and didn’t see anything that addressed the issue. I could probably take a piece of plastic and curve it to make a frame as a simple solution, but was wondering if anyone has had a similar issue with something like a clear canopy. I’d rather have a solid clear piece, and was wondering if anyone here has ever had to glue two pieces of clear plastic together and remove a seam line made from joining the parts and maybe see if anyone had any tips on that process. My worries are if it would just end up highly noticeable like discoloration or air bubbles and maybe solutions for those issues. here’s a pic of how it’s supposed to lookand below is how all the builds end up looking where they just stuck the two parts together and it kinda leaves a noticeable seam in the bubble that looks awkward to me.

    A lot of the classics from the 80’s and 90’s really outshine modern anime.

    Ranka’s hand looked bent the wrong way and had fingernails on the underside of her fingers

    They do look good together

    Sounds pretty cool actually.

    I like the look of the Hasegawa much more. It’s kinda the little things on it that look amazing and it’s usually $20 bucks or less

    I posted about their own website not including it earlier in the day. As far as the wording with bbts, it seems there will be no pilot since KC didn’t include one and more than likely will charge extra when it possibly gets made

    My favorite and cheapest and easiest to obtain is the Hasegawa. Love that kit. Definitely no reason to buy this overpriced toy
  16. Big s
    Even the KC website says it doesn’t include the pilot now.
  17. Big s
    I guarantee tat it’s a KC thing. They’ve been shipping the regult without a pilot already and may provide retailers with the figures to fulfill the preorders at a later date, but it’s not really certain. I think bbts just had to put that in the description since the regult will come into stock before the pilot is even finalized.

    It’s probably one of those things where someone “predicts” a bunch of different ideas, but things only come true once in a while and then they say that because of that once in a while thing that they’re mostly right. I guess we’ll see fairly soon if they’re right this time

    Bro, it happens. I went to visit my daughter in Vegas since she’s living with her fiancé and we went to that Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur and totally got lost for an hour after the show just trying to get back to the parking lot. A few weeks later we were watching YouTube and there was this video about how they design many of the casinos as a trap to wind you right back into the middle again to keep you gambling. After that experience, I can easily see how they ran out the screen time in the casino scene. Although, I honestly don’t think that whole part of the movie should have existed in the first place

    Finally got me a torohachi. I wasn’t expecting it so soon. No scalper fees and free shipping since I got it on the special sale at the U.S.p- Bandai store with a few extra items.
  21. Big s
    Sounds like they scalped their own product

    And knows Kung Fu

    That’s an extremely suspicious title. Was he married to a kindergartener before and she just moved up a grade? You know, I don’t think I really need an answer to that one. Nevermind

    Sony has proven that they could make worse movies than the worst Disney Marvel movies, so even if the upcoming Spider Man movies suck, they’d probably still be better than if Sony handled them

    I wouldn’t blame you. The company should keep their promises and I can’t blame bbts for having to update the description. Maybe try contacting bbts and see if they have any information on the situation before making a decision. Either way, their stuff usually doesn’t sell out and to could probably just order later if you change your mind
