    Hopefully this comes to fruition. I have resisted any white Strike Gundam and packs until now, speculating on Bandai actually doing this.

    Hacchaka has a review up for Shin Getter 1. Looking forward to receiving my copy, but a bit worried about the wobbly hips, waist and ankle joints mentioned in the review. Hopefully just an isolated case. https://hacchaka.net/archives/52096345.html

    Aside from the standard retail edition of Kaen, there will also be a limited TT Mall version (designated MPG-06S). This will be a bigger box that apparently can house all the previous Trainbot boxes and will contain additional stands for all six as well as having the beam sabre and sword plated. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/714329

    In case anyone missed the initial pre-order for HMR Orguss and still on the hunt, it is available through Amazon JP right now. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/dp/B0BX2L7RQC/?coliid=I20ZY4EZGT2TR4&colid=3A7YN7BXVC37C&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it

    I don't know how others feel, but to me there is nothing cooler then having mecha from different franchises in scale with each other and displaying/posing them together.

    I know next to nothing about Warhammer, but in case anyone here is interested, the Royal Mail is issuing stamps to celebrate the 40th anniversary. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-65766495

    MP-58 (?) Hoist also incoming. https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/mp-hoist.1244198/page-17#post-21362945 I'll say this, it was terrible idea for the cartoon to lean more into the compromised toy designs for season two instead of continuing with the streamlined redesign of season one. That being said, Takara has done a good job of recapturing Hoist from the cartoon.

    In case anyone missed the first time around, there is going to be a second round of pre-orders for Astraea II and Proto XN tomorrow. https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1951511/

    I am hoping they get around to making the Ozma variant with the much better head design. And knowing my luck that would be the one they decide to do as P-Bandai.

    I had to chuckle at this bit in the review (auto translation used).

    It's up on Amazon JP for anyone that wants to get this delivered real fast. https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B0C4KZLR84/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    MB Arbalest I.W.S.P. alternative strike pack incoming 😛 https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1933008/

    Netflix is reviving the Transformers: Forged to Fight game.

    Blitzway's Mazinkaiser toy to rule them all?

    Did anyone catch that there seem to be two versions of the intro in the final episode of Picard?
  18. lechuck
    Not to mention that 90% of MG kits are now P-Bandai only. The once mighty MG line has become a shadow of itself lately.
  19. lechuck
    Was teased, but Bandai is too busy pumping out non-canon Valkyrie variants that nobody asked for.

    Useful scale is pretty much crap for any of the offerings. In fiction the Orguss is listed as being 8.7 m tall. HMR at 17 cm ~ 1/51 Moderoid at 16 cm ~ 1/54 Variable Action at 21 cm ~ 1/41 Why is it so hard for these companies to design the Orguss with a more universal scale like 1/35, 1/48 or 1/60 in mind?
  21. lechuck
    Maybe 1/35 scale? Plamax looks bigger and they don't seem as small as the old 1/48 Actic Gear stuff from Takara.
  22. lechuck
    Hopefully the HG comes as close to that Battroid silhouette as possible. Agree. Although I could see Gamlin's 22S going retail to coincide with a Basara VF-19 Kai when they get around to it.

    Your call has been heard, Bandai is relentless 😄

    When the Ent-D fired its phasers taking out a big chunk of Borg cube after initially being held by their tractor beam. Or when the stardrive and saucer section provided enough resistance to rescue Picard. I never said that the Galaxy-class could outright beat the Borg, but it was/is able to hold on to a certain point and not immediately fall over like you make it out to be. I wonder if the Defiant was rated as threat by the Borg cube during First Contact, probably more like an irritating fly to them. Having familiarity with something IS practical. The finer detail to this is that the Lakota was actually also holding back, it wasn't until Admiral Leyton ordered Captain Benteen to go all out with their weapons that the Lakota stood down.
  25. lechuck
    Not sure what you are trying to tell me here? The Enterprise-D had to deal with a Borg cube twice on its own and held on damn well admirably. A starship design not intended for battle, no ablative armour, no pulse phasers and no quantum torpedoes to the rescue. It too was deemed spaceworthy and repairable by Starfleet after its battle. And as I mentioned above, if it were not for the suicide attack, we basically saw again how an unprepared Galaxy class would soak up a heck of beating to survive and still keep as much of the crew alive on that initial Dominion encounter and would later become Starfleet's most veritable and valuable asset in the Dominion war. I am not really questioning the Defiant's qualities, it has its place. I just don't subscribe to the dogma that only that ship is good enough for battle because "built for Borg". The Defiant is an option, but not necessarily THE option. Besides, why would a command crew not take the ship they know the ins and outs of best over a ship they've never set foot on (except Worf) - that makes no sense. I would think humans would function better in an environment that is more familiar to them. Drama effect? Defiant and Voyager weren't exactly immune to that either. And I never claimed that the Galaxy-class is unbeatable or could not be surpassed. Of course the Enterprise-D (or Galaxy class) without any current Starfleet tech. upgrades is going to have a tough time, but that basically applies to the museum piece Defiant as well. Pretty absurd musing if you ask me, not once did I get any type of inclination like this from Geordi these past couple of episodes. Broken? He has had a good Starfleet career, has a family, brought up and shaped his daughters as decent people. Sure there was that disagreement with career path of one of the daughters, but that's already been resolved and it wasn't a catastrophic breakdown in relationship. As for his Enterprise-D project – it's just a pastime that gave him fulfilment, pride and joy, nothing more and nothing less. Maybe it took the twenty years because he wasn't constantly at it and spending time with his family? Or it took time to source a star drive section... or the right computer core... or warp core...? And flying into battle with a ship that has been rebuilt with the heart and soul of its former main engineer can not really be a bad thing. I remember the Defiant having a lot of trouble getting past a heavily upgraded Excelsior-class U.S.S. Lakota and only gaining the upper hand after some creative thinking. Now imagine the Defiant going up against a "fit for Dominion war" Galaxy-class of that time.
