My Threezero Patlabor Ingram is absolutely incredible, so I hope that these have about the same build quality. I am seriously reluctant to buy anything which gives Harmony Gold any support, but... I may make an exception for a Max VF-1J.

Just finished the last of the 97 episodes. Overall it’s not a bad show and has some great moments. Definitely the best marvel animated series I’ve seen. It does have some super cringy moments here and there, but I’m still looking forward to the upcoming X-Men 98.

one of the things I’m a bit on the fence with

Magneto isn’t dead, and it was pretty easy to guess what he was gonna do, but it makes you wonder why he never tried it before. That being said it was way more entertaining than anything he’s ever done in a movie or show before 
Also, I guess everything electronic is toast worldwide, so next time we see forge he’s gonna just be floppin around until he finds his old crutch. I guess everything mostly will be in a temporary dark age. Brings certain questions about characters like cable as well. Is there no more techno organic virus and is his time thingy toast. 

Sunspot’s parents seemed pretty quick to hand over their kid to some random weirdo’s that were flying around blowing stuff up.

and one thing I didn’t like is that it’s one thing to have one goofy set of rules for pseudo science gimmicks like time travel, but then to add the other set of rules to it was just a bit silly

As far as things I liked

Wolverine finally killed people with his lil stabbies. The overall action was good for the most part and we finally get some good action with Nightcrawler. Some of those people might just wake up afterwards and find their limbs missing after that fight if they return to normal after the emp burst 

 

Cable's body tech is way beyond affected by EMP. It's a hybrid techno-organic from way far forward in the future.  Insofar as I can remember from my X-Force days, Magneto wasn't able to do much to directly attack him, so indirect attacks in the atmosphere wouldn't slow him down a bit. Also, his time travel tech isn't something he carries with him but is instead based on the Graymalkin space station in orbit around Earth. (At least, that's how it used to be back in the 90's.) I honestly truly hate how "micronized" time travel tech has become to the point that it's just carried around and can be used any old time by certain characters. One of the reasons I liked Bishop was that he was stranded and couldn't get back to his own time. And Cable, while possessing the tech, had to be *extremely* selective about how he traveled back and forth because of the ever-changing nature of the timestream. The original Cable books went so far as to explain that a chrono-physician had to "plot" the right course in the timestream so that the traveler wouldn't wind up disintegrated, and even doing so meant that you couldn't just jump anywhen you wanted.

This figure is pretty awesome!

How much did this cost you?

I honestly squealed a little bit when Cable showed up at the end of episode 7. 😇

Huh. Is that Red Skull's car on the right? And standing in front of it, could that possibly be the Russian from the Punisher movie...? (Nah, way too far a stretch.)

For some reason, the thought of Ryu trying to fly something like this amuses me to no end. He really looks like he's pissed off making the attempt. 🤣

Wow. That thing looks like it's got some beef. Really want to see the cycle mode now.

Finally got around to watching the second episode. I like some of the subtle changes to the intro. I'm hoping that maybe at some point Cable will get a cameo/name callout in the theme.

It does my heart good to know that Cable will be back in some capacity in this. I can hardly wait to see him.

Just in time for all of the buffs he got in SF6.

...Omega has the gene/genetic material which prevents midichlorians from degradation (i.e. she's a "template"). All the other clones do not carry that gene so any time blood (or any genetic material) is cloned/transferred, the m-count degrades. That means should Palpatine clone himself 🙄, his midichlorian count would not transfer between him and his clone, making an imperfect clone. Omega, like most folks in the galaxy, does not have an M-count high enough to be particularly Force-sensitive but she has the genetic template to keep midichlorians from degrading if one were to clone a Force-sensitive.

Using Grogu was likely their post-Palpatine attempt to create a "Snoke" since there wasn't a Palpatine around to extract genetic material from. But we're getting ahead of ourselves and that's a ways down the road.

 

Right there on the same page with you!

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.

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...?

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.

I had just ordered one of those. I'll post a full review once it arrives.

Despite the silver sun visors and the extra gear on the bumper it's apparently based on another toy that was supposed to be Bumblebee Prime. If the bumper kit is removable (which I believe it is) I might add a bit of paint and use this as a replacement for SS38 instead of SS102, as 38’s not looking so hot these days and my gripes with 102 should be fixed with DNA's upgrade kit.

Where did you order yours? For that price, I'd be sorely tempted to get one as well!

Anyone have any updates the supposedly new series EZY? 

I've been askin' about that for, what, 3 years now? 😭

Someone on another board suggested that the TIE Interceptors and TIE Bombers were probably from the Chimaera (Thrawn’s ship). 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'd think the best we get is more info on the VF-5000G.

Which will still make me squeal like my daughter when I see it. 🤪

I'm still hung up on Kenari, largely due to one line of dialogue...

I guess we won't know for sure for at least another two years. Ugh.

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.

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.
