    Actually, when I first watched AOTC in theaters, I already felt the Clones vs. Droids battle was overdone and meh. Storywise: Didn’t make much sense. If the Clones were there to rescue/assist the trapped Jedi, they already accomplished that mission. I figure rescue them, get the hell out of there. If the next objective was to capture Dooku, 1) Lucas should have better spelled it out. 2) You have some tired Jedi that have already gone through a bit of a fight, and you want them to lead the next battle charge? And 3) Why you wasting all your resources fighting the droids? Go all-out for the boss. Add in Padme’s fall from the carrier and next minute she’s fine and jauntily running across the screen. Toss in that Ani and Obi (who have been through two major consecutive fights by this time and got CAUGHT earlier by Dooku’s crew) are the only Jedi to go after Dooku. And only Yoda (not an entire posse of the best Jedi fighters on the Council) backs them up. And the whole “let’s have the Clones fight the droids” bits become kinda pointless. It’s only shown for the spectacle of it all; there’s not much else storywise or plot-wise. It’s just there for the sake of being there.

    Yup, same here. I only caught bits and pieces when it first ran, but it’s been kinda fun to watch that series again and share it with my kiddos. Tons of Star Trek TNG actors doing the voices there too. Tripped me out that all the animated X-Men series and Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends are also on +, as well.

    Nah, the Sith decided to go full Ego from MCU and “seed” the galaxy with midi-chlorians. So, what’s the plural of Yoda’s species? Yodi? Yodai? Yodes? Yo-Yo’s?

    Will I lose my Pinoy card, if I say that I enjoyed the “Making of Float” feature more than I did the actual short?

    Well, ranking the prequels from worst to best, it should be: AOTC, TPM, then ROTS. I cut TPM only a little slack for having to live up to 20+ years of hype/build up. But AOTC screwed the pooch with the Ani-Padme romance, showed minimal camaraderie and fun between Obi and Ani, and made the Clones vs. droids battles a dull CGI-fest (with stupid, unnecessary quick zooms).

    If our speculating is correct and those recessed tabs in the forearms double up as connection points for the Tread, I’ll be curious to see how Sentinel pulls off the Tread’s chest and cockpit. It looks like this Legioss will sit deeper into the Tread. Factor in that there isn’t much of a sizeable gap between the Legioss arms, and Sentinel’s gonna need to pull off some design magic to get the Tread’s chest and cockpit area(s) to work right.

    ^^So, you’re saying there’s a CHANCE that Yoda got it on and is a baby daddy! <insert Dumb and Dumber meme>

    As I mentioned previously. Plus, it looks like the hip joints or the red centerpiece rotates to move the hip joints closer to the chest intakes. All in all, the whole leg and foot assembly compresses a lot tighter than the Toynami version.
  9. Mog
    My main concerns are that the shoulders and hip joints are strong enough to hold poses and that fighter mode locks securely in place. In terms of design though, you can see how they’ve made a bunch of advances: * Feet are massively collapsed in fighter mode, so they’re no longer sticking way out. * Cockpit and nosecone redesigned, so that the nosecone isn’t hanging so low in armo-soldier mode. * Added double jointed elbows. * Gave wings a downward cant. Understand, I’m a fan of the Toynami Alpha-Beta combo’s look. But even I know those Alphas are prone to breaking every which way and can’t hold certain poses to save their lives. Sentinel’s got some goodwill built up for the quality Ride Armors they’ve made. So, I’m willing to see if they can pull off this Legioss.

    I once saw the Mandalorian kill two men with a hypo-pencil, a freakin’ hypo-pencil! Regarding Baby Yoda, I can just imagine OG Yoda’s ghost saying, “Much had I drank. Intoxicated I was. When 800 years you’ve been, get a little frisky and backed up you will too!!”
  11. Mog
    Yes, let’s make this thing so big, that it won’t be financially feasible to ever make a connecting Tread for it. If this puppy can hold a pose and sport more articulation in Armo-Soldier and if the fighter mode locks together solidly, it’ll be worth it.
  12. Mog
    It’s Baba Yaga, and the Mandalorian is the guy you send to kill the freakin’ boogeyman!

    Regarding episode 2:
  14. Mog
    I think the anticipated release date is June 2020. Should we place the over/under as November 2020 instead?

    Just watched the most recent episode of Mr. Robot. Good gravy!! The ep starts off a bit over dramatic. But by the end of it, it delivers a vicious gut-punch. The clues have been there, scattered and sprinkled throughout the past three seasons, but . . . damn. Kinda flips everything on its head and makes me rethink all the assumptions about the story.
  16. Mog
    The main seven had three Legiosses and one Tread. The Green can be viewed as the CF version. Plus, there’s the additional black Shadow version (both a manned and drone version) that shows up at the end.
  17. Mog
    Just off the top of my head. Silly Oberyn forgot to keep his distance against a big and burly opponent. Do like that the Mando armor doesn’t make him invincible.
  18. Mog
    About time they did a Star Forge robes version of Revan. But not into the scale, don’t enjoy that it’s an exclusive, and really wish they had made it so the hood could be moved left or right and not restrict head movement.
  19. Mog
    Damn, I really don’t want to reinvest in another Legioss. But it looks oh so good! Not exactly the pose I envisioned to show off the joint strength and posing options, but if the Legioss can hold this with no issues, we might have a winner: And if they add a Tread to this, I’ll be kicking myself for not buying it.

    Some of us who ordered from overseas still haven’t gotten ours either. NY originally listed 10/26 as the release date, but I still haven’t gotten any sort of shipping notification. Not even listed as in stock on their website yet. Between Yellow being delayed and now this, I’m kinda annoyed.

    So, a bit of thread necromancy here, but bear with this proud papa. . . My son's 8 years old now and finally figured out how to get the chunky monkey into all three modes. While messing with fighter mode, he extended the front landing gear, and I heard an audible "Oww!" from him. Yup, that landing gear-induced pain means he's fully initiated into playing with Valks now!

    So, I just finished up Season 2 (Just FYI, all the episodes for Season 2 are now available for FREE on Youtube. . . with a few commercials). I saw the final throw-down beforehand, saw a few of the major story-beats for the season, and read some of the synopses. But yeah, it was still enjoyable to watch everything unfold, even knowing how everything goes down. Really great addition to the series. . . . . And can we all agree that the LaRusso's should take most of the blame? Lastly, I really hope they don't do something cheesy or stupid like making Miguel's father turn out to be Kreese or Terry Silver. Not really necessary for the story.

    “Why did you change the bellyplates’ shape?” ”Why all the tampo on the bottom of the fighter?” ”You do realize this also has a Gerwalk mode, right?” I know.
  25. Mog
    Nice! Where did you order him from? I’m still waiting for some sort of shipping processing notice from NY.
