  1. i saw some reviews of the new intel chips for laptops, pretty good upgrade, igpu and battery life. just saw this and thought there's RAM in the deal:
  2. some of the retro remake choices are interesting, not sure how they decide
  3. cross-posting from the Gundam show thread:
  4. don't take it personally I said Bandai loves taking advantage of dumb people. Nothing wrong with buying multiples. i usually get 2 or maybe 3 of a release i really like. I have every Yamato 1/60 release and variant being a completionist. However, Bandai loves taking advantage of completionists. they become very exploitative, it's obvious. They love reprinting the same Metal Build Exia many times over without finishing the 00 series lineup. It's been over a decade. Bandai's trick is they come out with a tiny new tampo marking with the same suit then calling it a new gundam edition. Bandai tries to exploit us by excluding missiles that came standard for every vf-1, on a design they pretty much copied. Give us a mechanic edition with fastpacks that had features already standard on every Yamato. They removed features sells it and then re-sells it with the features re-added. Nothing new engineered, just copying a toy and taking away items and including them later. and have the nerve to correct the "001" by giving a different tailfin instead of admitting they misprinted it. it's comical but yes, it's Bandai being Bandai.
  5. agree, need the movie version with yellow arrows. not buying this for round hands lol only dumb people keep re-buying copies they already own. bandai loves scamming dumb people. see it all the time with metal build repeats.
  6. man, too late, i already sold of all my copies. but i had a few for sale on here. this has gotten a decent discount in the past that was targeted/regional on amazon on occasion. if no one on here sells you one, may want to keep tabs on it.
  7. haha, might get an armor roy if the price is decent.
  8. if you want a bent antenna lottery get the bandai dx and be ready to return and rebuy the chance you get a bent one.
  9. Sorry, Physical Games Collectors: Grand Theft Auto 6 Will Reportedly Be A Digital-Only Launch To Avoid Spoilers
  10. You want to know what's crazy? Roy's head unit has the DYRL Yellow Arrows in the picture in Fighter. (Black arrows in Battroid pic) So DYRL Roy is coming down the pipe or better yet just include a replacement head unit with yellow arrows as pictured as they included the grey goggles 1J armor pack.
  11. Does this come with tv missiles like the latest Hikaru 1J? I need DYRL yellow arrow Roy. I have 5 copies of TV Roy already.
  12. knowing the lazy effort, why would I spend 29,000 yen plus shipping and tariffs on this? I must hate money
  13. looks like 2 predacon alt modes for prime and starscream:
  14. nice read: quote Kimura: In the midst of all this, I came up with a rather spontaneous idea: if we shortened the nose of the DX Chogokin VF-171EX, we could create something similar to the VF-17.
  15. i saw a review comparison of the g14 and it's definitely a superior laptop in every way than the helios. especially the audio. The helios seems like a good value based on the price per performance ratio. But the g14 if price is not an issue is a premium laptop. btw, bestbuy is having another of those amazing open box deals that started today on the g14: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (Open-Boxes): 14" OLED 3K 120Hz, Ryzen 9 270, RTX 5060, 16GB LPDDR5X, 1TB SSD $929.99 the G14 at this price point is definitely an amazing deal. Best Buy open boxes are some of the best deals around since you can pick the condition you want or return it if it's not your liking. They also have an amazing open box deal on a 5080 laptop that started today: HP OMEN MAX (Open-Boxes): 16" QHD+ 240Hz OLED, Intel Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD $1619.99 if i didn't get this helios for dirt cheap, i would be all over the open box G14 or save a little for the OMEN (though HP has some issues.)
  16. I saw in multiple notebook comparison tests from Just Josh's channel, the macbooks have by far the best audio out all of the notebooks ranked. They have the best trackpads too. The only drawback for Macs and (Snapdragon processors) are pc gaming compatibility from his channel rankings laptops. i was able to connect my air pods pro 2. often times i forget to bring it. Acer Predator Helios neo speakers universally are ranked one of the worst speakers by every reviewer. my iphone 17 pro sounds better and as loud. This clip: Just Josh's audio comparison between Acer Predator Helios Neo (16 and 14 have same speakers) and a Macbook. i get depressed hearing the superior Macbook
  17. Now that i had the Predator Helios Neo 14 for a week. The trackpad is amazing. Even with the reseated yoga trackpad, the helios is far and away way better. Tech Youtuber "Just Josh" really likes the trackpad as well as this laptop. The battery life is good. I got about 8 hours time doing various tasks, web service and office work unplugged, screen half the brightness. The keyboard is easy to type on. The worst part of the laptop is the speakers are small. There is no bass. I had spend several hours boosting the audio doing some combination of EQ and using a software to trick the audio to get the speakers loud. One of the common problems is the low volume when gaming and disabling spacial audio solves this issue that plagues the helios 16s version as well as others in the Acer lineup. Finally after 4 hours got the audio tuned to my liking. The Ultra 7 155H runs cooler than an ultra 9 185H, dead silent doing office tasks, web surfing or watch videos and fan noise is mild to medium when gaming is pushing hard. not obnoxious and can easily hear the audio over it. In terms of gaming, the 4070 is a bit stronger than the 2021 Legion 7 w/ rtx 3080 mobile card that fried up. Been testing it with Cyberpunk bench mark at 2560 x1600 94 fps with no raytracing and no frame generation. With DLSS quality no Raytracing. no frame generation, I can get 79 fps with textures setting all on high. Raytracing turned on at 1440p, 47 fps, w/ raytracing lighting on ultra , no frame generation. 93 fps framegen on. 70 fps with Ray Everything Fully on with Frame Gen on at 2560 x 1600 For $565 this was a steal.
