I've fallen behind.  Finally started watching Frieren.

I basically agree with everyone:  last season was pretty meh overall.  Now its sequel season!

And..... its gone again!

Lunar back up on Amazon at retail if anyone is interested.

LUNAR Remastered Collection for PlayStation 4, compatible with PlayStation 5

I would have had a better opinion of that show if that had been the 1st episode.  I pretty much agree with everyone's opinion about it.  I'm still likely to drop that show.  right now it gets another week of viewing.

I stumbled upon this on AmiAmi.  Rather unexpected.  Release:  June 2025.  15,090 yen.

On the contrary, the scale as depicted in the anime was surprisingly consistent -- much more so than, say, the Spartas in Southern Cross or the Legioss in Mospeada -- but official stats (and scale reference line-art) published AFTER the animation was completed have muddied the waters considerably. 

In fact...

...this image is particularly problematic, as it contradicts both what's depicted in the show and its own internal logic.  Despite downscaling Kamjin by more than a third, he still wouldn't be able to fit into that Glaug behind him, even if it were completely hollow!

I've been doing extensive research into this for my next YouTube video, including video clips and physical models, and it will definitively debunk the "official" stats once-and-for-all. 🔒

So my question would be: If that size drawing was done after the show's production, what did the animators actually use for size reference during production? Was it just the story boards?

What happened to this being "Japan Only"?  If they are saying Robotech, then shouldn't this be available everywhere?

any pre-orders with missiles?  Going to eventually proxy but want to see any others offer it.  

The only one I've seen so far was from Nin-Nin-Game, but it went to "Soon Available".  So not sure if they will do another round.

Why is the Tread or Legioss reissue still not on the usual websites?

I'm quite curious about this myself.  Its not like most of the websites that are selling it are reselling the Sentinel exclusive version.

I ordered the Tread from Hobby Genki.  FedEx shipping 6790 yen.  By boat was 4000 yen (about 3 months).  EMS was the most expensive at over 10,000 yen.

Hobby Genki ¥43,890.00

I'm not sure yet if I'm going to buy now or wait a bit.

there is a store link on the very bottom.

I expect shipping to be brutal on this one.  At least the exchange rate helps.

I'm in for one.  I haven't bought anything in months.  I'm also running short on room.... 

When I need to polish plastic lenses at work, we use NOVUS Plastic Polish.  You can polish by hand or use one of those automotive headlight style buffers.

So I started watching Kaiju No.8 recently.  I'm liking it so far.  We'll see how it goes.

Personally, I really hated the original series and only watched it because people kept telling me that it was a must watch show. Is the new one any better or more of the same 

Not a problem!  It's anime!  You know how it is.  You don't have to like everything everyone else likes.  I certainly don't.  But there is most likely something for everyone!  Spicy Wolf is on my "Maybe I'll watch it later" list.  I'm mostly watching sequels this season.  I'm not too sure if I'll pick up any new titles to watch.

So I watched Astro Note.  Feels like a twisted Maison Ikkoku to me.  Not too sure if I will stick to it.  We'll see,,,

I seem to like clockwork things.  I rarely spend on it though.

That Conversion Kit seems to be in excellent shape.

I still want my VF-1A Brownie. 

I don't know..... Its kinda cute in a SD kinda way.....

That one is on my "maybe" list.  Maybe I'll give it a go when time allows.  Currently enjoying Apothecary Diaries & 7th Time Loop. 

She looks more red in the images.  At least to me anyway.  I guess we'll find out when we find out. 

Just happened upon this on Amazon.com.  Do with it what you want.  I might be good for donor parts, customization or just to fool around with.  Reviews claim that the plastic is pretty thin and nowhere near as robust as the official products.

I don’t think they’re allowed to do the DYRL stuff anymore. I get a little lost now and then on these rules though 

now that I think about it, it’s possible they may not be able to do a lot of the odd squadrons that didn’t show up in the tv series. They can easily do the cool Alaska base ones though

Yeah, I suspect this is the issue.
