  1. Amen to that. I find it very interesting how Thrawn and the TIE Defender (and evidently Rukh! I need to catch upon Rebels) have been canonized after so many years. I would be completely happy to Eternal Sunshine the whole Last Jedi from my memory. I can't get over how much I can constantly find to nitpick about it. I do wonder how in the world JJ is going to attempt to piece together a story in the next movie, but I'm truly not sure that I care that much any more. (Certainly not as much as I did before having seen TLJ.)
  2. I think that my staggering (and continuously-growing) level of dislike for this movie has given me an all-new appreciation for Rogue One. I laugh whenever I see the Nissan tie-in-marketing commercials on TV. I'm like "TIE Fighters? You don't have to worry about those. The First Order would never think to use those against your slow-moving vehicle. They are far too dumb for that."
  3. I will completely lose my nut if there is indeed a retro Dreamcast forthcoming. If there is any miracle that it would have a network port and online capability, just think of some of the incredible potential for this system to live again. Soul Calibur, Power Stone 1+2, Project Justice, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike... oh, my. Perhaps my greatest hope come true would be Phantasy Star Online. I'd love nothing better than to jump through these kinds of hoops in order to be able to resurrect the files from my old VMUs... https://virtualdreamcast.com/how-to-transfer-save-games-from-your-dreamcast-console/
  4. That is some very high praise. I can't wait to see all of your photos of it. I think I am going to have to go ahead and get in an order somewhere for this now.
  5. I absolutely agree with you on Apache. Robot mode and helicopter mode look great, but car mode is the dealbreaker to me. The thing which still has me interested in MMC's Saltus is that the car mode looks passably like a car. I feel like that's the most difficult mode to accomplish with Springer, so I am holding out on everything else until after I see what the finished product is going to look like. I wish they'd hurry right along and show off some fully painted prototypes.
  6. I am in the slightly crazy minority, but I got Citizen Stack a few years ago and felt no need to even consider Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. I truly didn't like how squat the Masterpiece seemed to be in robot mode. I got a head upgrade kit for my Stack and it makes ALL the difference in the world. I believe it was the SXS kit.
  7. Wow. Harsh review. I am extremely curious to see what jenius has to say about this.
  8. Full armor VF-11 would make me squeal like a little girl. Interested to learn more about this Battle 7, though.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I don't like the VF-31F's head one single bit. It is my least favorite head design of any of the Valkyries which I have ever owned. However... I do really like the paint scheme of Messer's. If I could swap the head for another variant (which matched the paint scheme), then I would be quite pleased.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Oooh, I hope those super parts are already out. I'd like very much to find a surprise in my mail within the next two weeks or so.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I'm in the minority, but... meh. I still like the silhouette/profile of the YF-30 Chronos infinitely more than that of the Kairos. Shame that the Chronos can't have the excellent torso engineering of the VF-31.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Oh! Thank you for this! I shall get my order in right away.
  13. Wow...! Curious about the projected price point for this. I still have and love my Beagle version, but this looks to be on a new level.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Say, when do preorders for the VF-31F Super Packs open...? I have lost track.
  15. Well that's a creative use of that Marine body... I suppose I will be trying to get this. Really wish some of the other Marines would agree to let their likenesses be used.

    Hi-Metal R

    Quoted for great truth.
  17. Well, I'm in for both of those... A random question for fans of the first Predator movie: I can't believe I never really thought about this after having seen this so many times, but I recently started to wonder where exactly are Dutch's teammates keeping their ammo? Mac might be the only exception, as he has pouches all over his vest and a belt-carried ammo box. Anybody (or any site) ever attempted to extrapolate how many rounds are fired by each person throughout the movie and then determine how many magazines each person should be carrying? I know it's an overly picky thought, but it's not going to diminish my love for the movie in any way.
  18. YES!!! If it is as faithful as the 2016 short, then I will be completely ecstatic.
