    I also initially leaned towards the darker color, as the dominantly white Gundam looks same-y after a while. I have a few days to decide (nice article still isn't helping haha)

    Hmm 2 votes for the Mk. II. I guess I'll get one then. The which one will be my next problem, as I actually like the look of both. Thanks guys!

    So I found this review of the RG Tallgeese. It looks to be an OK experience but I've never built an RG before so I'm worried I'll make a mistake. What's a good RG to practice on? I already have the RG Wing Gundam EW kit which I do not want to do before the Tallgeese. I've already built an HG RX-78-2 and Zaku II so RG versions of those 2 are out. I don't like Gundam 00 so I'm not touching their kits. I'm leaning towards RG Gundam Mk-II AEUG Version Prototype RX-178, or Mk-II Titans version, or RG GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam. Any suggestions which of these 3 I should get?

    The dialogue is OK, but I think the new series pales in comparison to the old series when it comes to voice acting and score. Also with the character design...They had a tough act to follow but at least their output is not a disaster.

    Ah ok. Unfortunately the local store doesn't seem to have Testor enamel (or even the colors I would need).

    Lack of display space should not be a deterrent to getting HMR valks. I mean, I have valks but with no display case at all

    What type of paint was used on this?

    It also happens that EMS insurance amount is close to the price limit of non-taxable packages (depending on exchange rate) here. And the less I lose on one package, the better for my peace of mind too.

    Yeah I know that happens to her, but I don't know if they will show it the same way. Remember Jean's death wasn't as theatrical in the new series. And I actually don't know if the same thing happens in the novels. I'm also disappointed in the ANN comments, complaining about the incompetence blah3x. Don't they know about real-world incompetence? Maybe they haven't worked in a real company with incompetent managers...

    HGAC Leo Boxart: Reddit I was worried yesterday that I wouldn't get my Leo, it was already on low stock. Now I got the HLJ confirmation yay! Gonna want more, but I need to pace my purchases. And I still don't have an RG Tallgeese. It's gonna be a long month of May ^_^; Also, Vincent van Gouf was really funny.

    OK, on to more impressions. I find that I am OK with Jessica's character redesign, she's more beautiful now--though it gives Your Lie In April vibes. Foreshadowing tragedy? Schenkopf, well, he was also OK but he looks way younger. Bucock slimmed down a bit. Frederica on the other hand looks generic? Her younger version was better lol. Anyway, I recognized Sheryl's voice and indeed, Aya Endo is the voice actor. Imagine seeing Frederica and hearing Sheryl Nome hahahaha. So it seems to me that Jessica is the only one with the vastly improved character design. I know I probably should also be looking at the show over-all instead of the character designs but I can't help it I'm not really excited when it comes to Free Planet Alliance scenes. I want the Empire scenes with Reinhard et al.

    Never heard of Liberty before. Are the prices competitive? I admit I've never really been bargain hunting around Aki. I just get tired of all the walking and looking at all the displays!

    Did you stay there by yourself? I've never stayed at a hotel in Japan. I've stayed with friends mostly or used AirBnB. Though one time I did try out a capsule hotel, that was a new experience. As for food, I'm more of a Yoshinoya loyalist. I love gyudon and unagidon. On topic:

    Thanks for that info. I'll add that to list of places to go to once I have enough yen for a Tokyo trip.

    Maybe it was just one tired worker behind this, or newbie. I wonder if there are other complaints from Japanese customers.

    From what physical store were you able to buy Arcadia stuff?

    I second the external DAC/amp. Had one but it was a cheaper one and ultimately died. But I really liked the sound from it. Right now I have 2 speakers connected to my Linux laptop and it still sounds OK. Not really wanting to delve any more into the DAC/amp rabbit hole (for my wallet's sake). If the external speaker is good the sound will be good (unless if your motherboard has crap sound output). Another thing is the acoustics of your room, it does affect what you hear. If I really wanted great sound the best thing to use is a great headphone (plus DAC/amp).

    A point against Garfield was that he starred in this very boring movie based on a Kazuo Ishiguro novel. Every time I see him I am reminded of that very boring movie. Thankfully it was shown for free and I didn't spend a cent on it, just my time. Also I like Tobey Maguire's Spider-man a lot. As a disclaimer, I don't read the comics though. I also don't like over-use of the nano-suit, it feels like borderline gimmicks. I'll roll my eyes if Cap/BlkWidow/etc also get nano-suits.

    Haha my office mate sent this link too. I didn't wanna go but Thanos was merciless

    I've complained about the moe-ification of the Major in the ARISE series, but this rendition borders on 'gritty' (though not on the level of that dreadful comic of the show-that-shall-not-be-named on the other thread). Unfortunately my local bookstore doesn't give out free comics--just a graphic novel sale. So I'm not getting the chance to get this. Are you getting this comic? If so, let us know what's inside.

    My Hikky VF1A arrived today--what a surprise! I thought they were going to deliver next week (I've learned to lower expectations on delivery times). I hope I can take some pics this weekend. It's gonna be a busy weekend for me for sure

    My shipment of those 2 arrived today. Too tired to open them up though...
