  1. Haven't watched it yet, but in case anyone missed it season two is now on Netflix.
  2. Very frustrating and does make me feel a bit angry that Bandai is pulling such a move. Buying locally has never been an option unless I intentionally want to burn money and to my knowledge there is no central distributor for the EU like like Bluefin or similar. All this talk about global markets and how thing become easier and we can all benefit from it.... Doesn't seem to count for the average individual consumer, instead we get more steps, more stones, more hurdles placed in our path. Sorry for the slight rant, but yeah I am a bit pissed about this.
  3. Goosebumps... Duel of the Fates, Anakin’s Dark Deeds and Battle of the Heroes. Even if the story turns out bad, I'll give the show a thumbs up as long as I get those tunes with moving pictures.
  4. Out of curiosity, does your first release Superman also have a nauseating smell?
  5. Pity Mafex won't provide Storm with a more casual head with an Iris/Pupil for her eyes.
  6. Good (science) fiction provides subtle or direct comment on contemporary matters, providing me – the viewer – a different perspective and angle to reflect on. That's were the greater entertainment should come from and not just "pew, pew, pew.. I'll blast you to smithereens evil bad guy" stuff. The system is not the problem, it is the actors within it. What is not taken into account is the ugly beast known as Homo Sapiens with its strong tendencies to be selfish, possessive, corruptible and power hungry, which brings us right back to the human condition that GR envisioned for human kind by overcoming and evolving from these negative traits. And if sharing and caring is more intrinsic to us instead of a "me, me, me and it belongs to me" attitude, then society as a whole will naturally adapt to a social structure that encourages that. GR wasn't promoting some specific social system, he was championing human kind to be better and therefore creating a better society.
  7. Price should not be too high and you will probably be able to get below the set MSRP. I was able to pick MGEX Unicorn for about 18.5k Yen and that includes my local tax. As for this latest MGEX Strike Freedom, would be nice to know how the rest of the engineering and articulation is. Also it might make sense to add some clear outer parts as an option so one can enjoy that fancy gold frame.
  8. Been messing around with the new MP Skywarp. The black, grey and purple combo looks great to me. No real structural or visual issues to report, although this time I ended up with two stoic faces and am missing the smiling face, ironically the exact opposite to my Thundercracker. And for some chuckles...

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    The canopy design doesn't seem right to me, it conforms too much with its surroundings, kind of missing that "bubble" dome design cue.
  10. Yes we do. I have little desire to pay 300+ Euros for something that would probably only favour fighter mode and have Battroid/Gerwalk be some vague afterthought again.
  11. That Hush Nightwing looks great, definite pre-order for me.
  12. Chogokin would be nice, but currently I am more annoyed and irritated that Bandai doubled up on 1/144 scale instead of giving us a MG option of this Nu Gundam FF.
  13. That second trailer is quite interesting, I spot Nova and Steamrunner class starships. Seems like they are going to employ two types of time travel, Borg style and sun slingshot? Of course nice to see Guinan rejoin, "10 Forward Avenue" - nice one. I watched season one and it was not really captivating, but I'm still looking forward to season two. I will pass judgement if good or bad afterwards and not on the basis of a two minute trailer. That is a bold statement, being objective and evidence driven you would have factual numbers to back that claim. How big is the fanbase per region? What is the demographic make up of the fanbase? Within each of the different age spans, how big is the percentage of fans that are pro/contra/neutral on the new shows? etc. etc. Without this your "objective evidence" is nothing but subjective speculation. Reading this for the first time, is there a link to a source or the official statement you can point to? Maybe that means more PlutoTV for me, like with Discovery.
  14. Congrats! Definitely a great set of Seekers to own. How did you get your Skywarp so quickly? I'm still waiting for my pre-order to be fulfilled.
  15. Official images of MPG Trainbot Getsuei https://www.taghobby.com/archives/593001
  16. Actually I think we are all getting the "last one". AE will mark it as sold out when you are still logged in with your account.
