  1. As a devout Cable collector, I must have that new version. However, recycling the weapons is just insanely lazy - especially when this one passes so easily for Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Thankfully, I can hope that 3D print customizers should be able to solve this eventually with some new offerings.
  2. Also watched the first 3 today. I can't help but feel, though, that in order for this season to work in terms of (sequel) canon, won't it have to have a particularly unhappy ending? Unless the "storytelling out" is that Project Necromancer isn't actually a success and Palpatine has to resort to other not-as-perfect means...?
  3. So the Japanese version will have an English translation option...? I want this in a big way - mainly for my man Gamrin - but I don't want Harmony Gold to have anything to do with it.
  4. I've been askin' about that for, what, 3 years now? 😭
  5. Which raises the question, why would Thrawn commit such resources to taking out Bo-Katan? She doesn't seem like she's in a position to be much of a threat at the moment. But logistically speaking, given that Interceptors and Bombers weren't as common as TIE Fighters, it makes sense that they would have come from a full-size ISD. It makes me wonder from where they were deployed (as in how close to the planet so as not to be obvious), though.
  6. Well that certainly took a rather dark turn. Never once before have I ever stopped to think that the clones and First Blood-era John Rambo might have something in common. They were trained for one very specific purpose, and so what do they do with their lives once they are no longer ordered to serve that purpose? I am very curious to see where Crosshair has wound up.
  7. Every single one of those is a must-have. Wow. The only nitpick is that Low Light's gun seems a bit on the small side. Good thing that Gridiron just dropped their big honkin' M82 Barrett.
  8. I'm so annoyed that I can't seem to get Legacy Dead End anywhere - even online - without having to pay more than twice retail. That's the last one I need to finish Menasor.

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    I am well into the minority, but I absolutely LOVE this color scheme. I've wanted this exact Star Mirage since I first saw it all the way back in college.
  10. Which will still make me squeal like my daughter when I see it. 🤪
  11. OK, I have questions about loose ends... I'm not expecting answers to most of these, but it's more a matter of whether or not anyone else is also wondering about these same items. Eh, just randomly thinking.

    Hi-Metal R

    That really high-pitched squealing sound you heard a little while ago? Yeah, that was me when I saw the photo of the Hi-Metal Fire Valkyrie. The Kai will always, always have a very special place in my heart.
  13. What are the odds that this would get a worldwide rerelease now that there are rumors of Bandai doing so with older Valkyries...? I still have my original one, but would be more than happy to buy a second with new shoulders.
  14. Got preparation notification from BBTS. My Pile of Loot is going to be epic if Kintaro doesn't break everything else in the box...
  15. Whoa. Now that is awesome looking...

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Well, let's see how sales do for the first release. Maybe Arcadia will consider redecos (e.g. Yamato YF-19 and its blue and orange variants) if this one does well. I personally LOVE the color scheme - it just screams Macross 7. I cannot wait to get a preorder in.
  17. My wife was just at that same airfield a few days ago, and she also sent me photos of the F-35s! I was shocked, to say the least. How does the Vermont Air National Guard have the budget to be able to field these? I was wondering if they were laying over or transferring, but looking at the date of your post, now I'm not so sure anymore.
  18. I can't help but think of the line in Age of Ultron when Black Widow explains to Bruce Banner why she can't have children. That at the graduation ceremony in the Red Room, she's sterilized so that it's "one less thing to worry about - the one thing that might matter more than a mission." I find it pretty difficult to believe that with all of the advanced science which the UNSC appears to have in this series, that they wouldn't have done the same for all Spartans. I mean, it's not like a new concept in human history that sex has made people do crazy things... I have no idea if there's any mention of sterilization in any of the previously-written Halo materials, but I feel like this plot point in this episode is truly the ultimate in shark jumping for story writing. For whom did the writers create this? The Halo fanbase has already revolted against this series (at least from what I've seen online), so to whom are they trying to appeal now?
