  1. The Arcadia VF-0 is the superior toy for sure but if you do end up with the Yamato VF-0 make sure you buy a set of left and right replacement shoulder joints as they were prone to breakage, Veef has em up on shapeways. https://www.shapeways.com/product/JPJKTD4S6/fighter-variable-zero-right?optionId=4661213
  2. I finished it up a few days ago too, definitely one of the best games of the year. I think the only game that beats it so far is Yakuza 0 but Nier is close behind.
  3. As much as I love them I could see replacing the F-15 C and D with an upgraded F-16 to keep costs down and make way for the F-35. The real outcome will probably be that the C and D will end up in the same death spiral that the A-10 and B-52 always seem to be in. I thought they were already working on upgrading the older models? That said I'm not surprised they aren't even talking about phasing out the Strike Eagle, it's pretty much perfect.
  4. Looks like Amazon has the NES classic for $160, Nintendo is still making them in limited numbers so it goes for a premium. Honestly I'd either buy an original NES or just emulate the games at this point, it would be a ton cheaper.
  5. Got mine a few days ago, it's pretty great though getting everything just right for gerwalk was a pain. In hand the 262 is much smaller than I was expecting, it's pretty neat how compact it is in fighter. The silver on the beampod (or is it still a gunpod?) looks a ton better than the yellowish plastic we ended up with, maybe I'll mess around with mine to see how easy it is to take apart and paint.
  6. Yup the next Origin movie is coming out Fall 2017 followed by the final episode in 2018 last I heard. After that they are perfectly set up for a full MSG remake for the 40th anniversary.
  7. Like Spanner said, old airbags have been a hot topic for a few years now. The current thinking with auto manufacturers is that modern airbags will last the entire lifespan of the car without need of replacement though all modern cars have an airbag sensor in case something goes wrong. A common consensus I've seen is that people getting hurt by airbags is usually due to the person not being seated correctly or not wearing a seatbelt. Here's a pretty good article that covers the basics https://www.edmunds.com/car-safety/do-car-airbags-expire.html
  8. So it looks like the next anime release has been announced (or will be announced shortly). Twilight Axis is a short story that takes place after Unicorn and kinda ties up the ending of that and Char's Counterattack. I don't know much else about it other than there is a red Zaku III and a Gundam that is a mix between the Nu and Alex. http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/03/22-1/gundam-twilight-axis-anime-announcement-reportedly-coming-this-week
  9. I'm surprised there is a big enough market to warrant reverse engineering the V2 VF-1 but then again when a real Max 1J is going for $600 I suppose there is money to be made. Guess we all have to pay a little more attention to what we buy these days. Doubtful that Arcadia will pursue legal action, I don't think Takara pays it much attention either with the transformers KOs.
  10. Woah I didn't know Master Made was working on "Metal Slug" figures, guess I'll have to grab one .
  11. So much F1 love from ya today spanner! Funny to think when it first came out it didn't sell all that well, I guess a million dollar mid seat super car was too ahead of the times.
  12. Yeah Jojo is great, though you should probably watch part one and two before you jump into part three.
  13. Have we seen any prototypes of the pope hat 262 at any toy shows? Has Bandai discussed doing anything with the mold past Keith's version?
  14. Maybe Miura just wants to stealthily lower our expectations for the ending of Berserk with this show. He'll end it with Casca being fixed and everyone being happy to stay in Elfhelm, no need to get revenge since Griffith is such an upstanding leader .
  15. Ya never know, if Bandai realize the armor is sitting on shelves they may cut back the Lil Draken production numbers .
  16. The valk has to taste just right before everything comes together .
  17. I think I'd jump onto that trailer and try to get the labor moving .
  18. Yup seems it's picking up right when the last season left off, I guess reuse of CG models makes it super easy to just pump out episodes. I'm glad I'm not a statue collector cause I'd be tempted on that Guts.
