  1. You mean other than life sized paper craft Minmay, Frejya and Sheryl?
  2. Now that I see that picture again, I really think that something that size should have spring loaded missiles and projectiles. Because why not?
  3. Well, I ordered one from AmiAmi. It was about what I paid for the HMR Focker VF-4 that I never got from Nippon-Yasan. I'll probably sticker this one up. Its kind of neked as it is. I may get a premium one if they ever offer one and turn this one into the cubicle toy.
  4. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I initially wanted one years ago. I got into this post Yamato. I'm pretty committed to the HMR line. So I guess I'll wait and see.

    Hi-Metal R

    Based on past releases, I would guess that a HMR VF-0S would be at least 12,000 yen each. The way the economy is going recently, it could be 15,000 yen or more.
  6. We are approaching dangerous topics! What is taught in schools is determined by Governments, School Boards, etc. depending on where you live and in what Country. So depending on the area, you get taught what they want you to learn right or wrong. If they are heavily faith based, that's what you get. If your area is of predominantly European ancestry, that's what you learn. Then there's the fact that most people just aren't interested in all that technical stuff. "I don't want to read the manual, just tell me the answer." And there is also the fact that people tend to believe whatever best fits their personal bias and disregards everything else. As far as Japan, I'll refer to sketchley as he lives in Japan per his profile. I keep tabs on Japan by NHK World News and I don't watch it daily.
  7. 11,125 new cases reported today. Trending down. I guess we all wait and see.
  8. Japan was "late" in starting their vaccine program. Many residents do not even have their 2nd dose yet. Hospital capacity also seems low. Not sure how much hospital per capita they have there.

    Macross figures

    I find myself asking "Why are my eyes drawn towards her legs so much?"
  10. So Department of Temporal Investigations where? Then again, that could make things worse.
  11. I remember watching Aria. They talk about the wonders of the planet, meet some people, have a little adventure, and 24 minutes of your life mysteriously disappears. I had to stop at Aria the Natural. I'm still watching Fairy Tail. I'm on season 5! And I'm still watching it for Erza. Mostly. Good enough to fill in the time between other shows.
  12. Many SciFi fans are big fans of space combat scenes. I myself do like them, but I am more character and story driven. As far as Star Trek goes, the writing took a noticable turn following Roddenberry's passing. The stories got darker and moved away from having a his signature moral aspect to the stories. While I was never a big fan of DS9, that show in particular, showed the biggest change on direction. The story concept was initially way too restrictive. Everything was to happen on the station or with runabouts. That show eventually turned into a shooting war. The show seemed to hit its peek of popularity at that point. So yeah, people love seeing shooting wars. It sells tickets. Will it keep a lasting fan base? Who knows.
  13. I imagine that COVID messed up the production schedule. I thought about ordering those back when you initially mentioned them. I decided to wait until they were released. But, well... It has been awhile. I do hope that they are still planning on releasing them. I do need me some brownies.
  14. To my knowledge, Arcadia has yet to release a VF-1A of any kind. I'm still waiting for my Brownies.
  15. I would think that the gun would need to be at that angle of you do anything close to a 90 degree elbow bend. The angle does seem a tad much though.
  16. Like everything else... It just needs to sell well enough to milk the mold. Hopefully with little or no adjustment. For myself, I'll probably just commit to the Blue Tread. I just don't have the room for more.
  17. Don't DO IT! It makes you want to buy more Macross goods! Unless you want to buy more Macross goods.....
  18. I'm half way through season 2 at this point. Fairy Tail filler remains Naruto levels of bad. At least there aren't too many of them. I may have to skip the 2 25 episode filler blocks coming up. The story is just interesting enough to keep me going. I'm mostly just watching that show for Erza at this point. I just might make it to the end!
  19. I haven't watched Southern Cross in forever! Can a Zor ship take on a Zentradi ship? I don't recall Zor ships having that much firepower.
  20. Where I come from, if you hear banjos, you start running as fast as you can. It seems as if the Protoculture just pursued science, engineering, and technology, for the sake of science, engineering, and technology. You make things just to prove that you can and to show that you have mastery of the knowledge.
  21. Planetary scale bombardment can make most stories very short. Or you could start a story that way...
