  1. Nope. It still looks great. Just about all the classic Marvel and DC costumes look great. Thats why there's a lot of cosplayers whose outfits look way better than the crap hollyweird comes up with. That was NU52 superman and he didnt stick. Its a nostalgia thing.
  2. I simply cannot understand why anyone would want a Legion action figure. He looks like crap. Why the Hell is there a Legion figure but no Deathbird figure. Its bizarre.🤔
  3. Tom Swift? Our school library used to have those. It was Tom Swift jr of course but I used to love them. Tom Swift and his Repelatron Skyway etc...ah the memories.🙂 Anyway if they ever do B5 ships then I definitely want pre-reboot Vorlons.
  4. Aargh! The sooner the better. I'm not in the mood for reflexively headbutting the TV screen ever again. 🤕
  5. 😬 Thats always what always worries me when hear/see the word "reboot." Othet than the TV series "Reboot" which was great.😄 What is CW? Do I want to know?😬
  6. Thats actually good news. I was referring here to a video I saw of a nasty 4 legged drone that couldnt even be knocked over is was so good at righting itself. It was damn frightening stuff. Surely giant things use more resources than small things. I hoped for better. What I saw in 7 did not impress me.😒 Based on your comment that it is noted to be poor at walking and can tip over easily due to its high centre of gravity, so pilots have to be careful. I would nit want to hear that if U was a Zentraedi pilot being issued one for heavy ground combat .
  7. It wasnt shown here. It was just the comics where he was awesome. Like that one issue where they tried to break him and he just kept repeating the name of his parents killer. TBH I have no respect for the black or armoured costumes. The grey and blue looked so good in that era, anything else just isnt Batman to me. Just as Superman isnt Superman without his red underpants and Wonder Woman isnt Wonder Woman without her star spangled panties.😄
  8. Roy Fokker finally, but only via BBTs. Nothing is coming out of Hong Kong it seems.
  9. We have the ability now to make very nimble and stable legged AI drones with our 21st Century earth tech. Given the Protoculture's uber tech and massive manufacturing capability this is beyond sloppy on their part. They spent a lot of resources on giant warriors, giant equipment, and giant ships but skimped on things that would have made every single one of them more effective. Its both insane and spiteful at the same time. Which just makes it worse. I digress, but this quote reminds me of a fanfic where a WOTW Martian is asked why they never invented the wheel. Its answer is that the leg is so much more versatile, and is a tried and tested design over millions of years. The Martians tech was so advanced in this regard that their machines seemed more like living creatures than they did. Pity the Protoculture's " imitation of the Vajra's own forms" clearly is not at that level. Deliberately. The seeding project may prevent all of humanity's eggs being in one basket, but it does increase the risk of discovery. So they're the Orks, whereas I want them to be more like the Spessmuhreens. Or what the Space Marines would be if they had significant numbers. Interesting. Provided that's not the Protodevlin and the Supervision army. Something new.
  10. But is that primarily what they are designed for? Why have those landing craft then? Sounds like a stupid note. Design something that looks great and then say it works like crap. What a waste. The Regult should be fast and agile on its feet. Able to run, hop and leap around opponents like an insect. I cringe whenever I see those fanimations where they clunk around like AT-STs. Properly developed the Zentraedi have awesome potential aa an army of intergalactic conquest. Their being wasted in this narrow setting against such uninteresting foes.
  11. Is that standard though? It seems extreme. Surely smaller fleets get deployed on independent missions where they would need to deploy ground forces. There must be situations in a galactic conflict where you need to secure resources, technology, information etc, and the answer isn't just to atomise everything. And the majority of the Zentraedi mecha are land vehicles, the Regults. Why have such large ground forces if they are unnecessary?
  12. Well it is kind of random if they make a daggit but none of the colonials. It's a little sad that their not doing the Cylon Tanker, but at least they did the classic Colonial shuttle. Be nice if they did some Buck Rogers ships. I could use an Eaglemoss Warhawk.
  13. This seems to imply that there are no Zentraedi " marine" infantry legions. If their entirely mechanised what was the point in making them giants in the first place? I like the idea of all the larger ships being able to deploy thousands of infantry in addition to mecha via the dropships. We know from the series that a standard Zentraedi rifle is powerful enough to down a valkyrie, so that's a lot of additional firepower. Keeping up with moving Regults is a problem so they would need some kind of troop transports. Mb something like a Zentraedi hover version of the German halftrack. (Even if impractical that sure would look great in anime or a diorama.)
  14. The cost of the item itself was 22 pounds. No idea on the shipping, their mail does not mention it and I tossed the invoice long ago. It wasn't much I recall as they sent it without even using tracking, which quite frankly I was more concerned about. It wouldn't hep you anyway as I live in South Africa.
  15. Just finished Attack on Titan Season 3 and still thoroughly enjoying it. Firmly on the Eldian side until I see something to change my mind. The Marleyan's use of collective guilt propaganda was a little too close to home for them not to earn my enmity.
  16. No idea. Maybe Houquet is a Gundam fan after stumbling across someone's surviving anime stash. Its not unprecedented for a fictional universe to be a fictional universe in another fictional universe. Yes.
  17. Now Daggits. Battlestar Galactica Muffit the Daggit Figurine (eaglemoss.com) This isn't on my list, in fact it looks unfinished to me. But I do hope we get an enthroned Imperius Leader and an IL Series at some point.
