There is a difference between seeing and knowing.

I'd like to see a DX TV Kaki just so the Vermilion Squad can be closed out. Come on Bandai, you never close anything out. Can we at least get this one done? And the missing HMR Destroids (especially the Tomahawk). It would be really nice to close those out too. After that I don't care that much. Some more DYRL VF-1's would be nice. Or TV M&M's.

So, "Shapeways" 1/48 DX figures............. I can't find the link to Hikaru in his TV space helmet get up so I can have the correct pilot for the DX Roy with Super Parts on it. Got a link? I think @Anasazi37 dug it up at some point. And Has anyone seen a Hikaru with no helmet but with goggles that works with the 1/48 DX Fan Racer? Got a link? Thanks

One of the nice things about getting old and your eyesight starting to go is I can't tell the difference anymore. Why I bought such a nice TV I don't know............

She has Superman's CGI upper lip from Justice League.

How much does BBTS charge you to ship from the US?
-
Yeah, I have no idea. I was wondering if someone else did. I do know shipping in general out of China is an absolute disaster right now. I get stuff manufactured in China at a plant that is well away from Shanghai (which is locked down hard and also their biggest shipping hub) and it's still screwing with shipping times. My latest shipment is coming UPS Freight (by air) and it looks like it's still going to take 45 days to get here. It of course has to be trucked to the airport then trucked from a hub near me to me, but that's still quite a while. Last time I shipped UPS out of there it took 11 days.

Mirage April 29th release date. I ordered mine through LP so it will be at least another 30 days after that before mine ships.

Out of 25ish VF-1's I have on display the only one that is gear down is an Arcadia. Go figure.

Isn't Hong Kong effectively "in" China now? I was under the impression that COVID was the cover the CCP needed to tighten the noose.

He's done it for all 37 of mine.

China doesn't allow shipping to SA? Why?

What does SA stand for?

I'm sorry to "pile on". That sucks man. I feel for you. I broke one of mine too at one point..................................and that is why I got rid of all of my Sentinel Ride armors. Let's face it folks. They're not "amazing". They look good, but not incredible (they're not cannon). They're overpriced for their size. And I don't think anyone will argue that they're fragile as all get out. A lot of people have broken theirs or have stress cracks that are about to break. I decided for myself that I would rather have a couple Beagle's even though I don't get all the variants and sold all of the Sentinel Ride Armor's (aside from the one that is just about to ship). I stay away from Sentinel as much as I can as a rule now. It's not just their Ride Armor's that are a problem. Their Super robots are small, over priced and fragile too.

We both liked His Dark Materials season 1. Haven't seen season 2 yet. No kidding!

Try The Flight Attendant on HBO with her. My wife also liked From. And Resident Alien. And watch The Wire on your own time.

I'm not suggesting you're wrong. It's matter of taste I suppose. I like not being beat over the head with fast pacing and action sequence after action sequence. Alien, which I'm sure everyone can agree is one of the greats, had very slow pacing as an example of how tat can be a positive. I think that's why there days I like high end "TV" shows more than movies. I'd rather have the story and characters fleshed out over 8-12 1hr episodes opposed to cramming them into 1.5-3.0hrs of movie.

IMO season 2 was not as good as season 1.

I was thinking worse case I could mix the 1/100's and 1/72's. It may not be THAT bad. IDK. The HMR Spartan is just under 6" at the antennae. The HMR Defender is 5.375". A HMR VF-1 in Battroid is 6.375" at the antennae. A HMR Regult is 7.75" The HMR Monster is about 8" tall (I don't want to pull my display apart to get an exact measurement). And it's loooooooong and wide. I'm guessing the KC's will be in the 6.25"-6.5" range. That may not be too bad as far as scaling goes considering Destroids don't conflict visually in size with VF-1's and the Destroids are all over the place as far as size goes. Fingers crossed. I've pretty much given up on HMR Destroids.

I think that's just taking the cream off the top. Cobain is not, and should not be defined by taking his own life. That is something he did. Not who he was (admittedly there is a little overlap of course). Cobain was depressed, tortured, had a lot of baggage, etc. Cobain was also very influenced by the lack of justice in society. He was also very wealthy (not billionaire wealthy, but extremely well off). That's not too far from how a real life Bruce Wayne would be is it? Parents murdered. Isolated and alone. No justice for his parents. Depressed. I can see where there is an argument for a parallel between Wayne and Cobain. Not a 1: 1 ratio. But enough to lay groundwork with. How could you be a young Bruce Wayne and not trend toward depression and nihilism? He even said while by Alfred's bedside he wasn't afraid of dying. That is s statement that someone with depression and a nihilistic outlook makes. Because they really aren't scared of dying. It's only one step away from suicide. I know all of this through experience. Painful horrible experience. I actually was impressed that by the end of the movie he was moving on from "vengeance" to something else. That to me shows that a young Bruce was working his way through his despair and beginning the transformation into the Batman that everyone is used to. I see him having to go through this stage of despair for him to be able to turn into the mature Bruce Wayne. You can't create the latter without having the former.

As a hot rodder I thought the Batmobile was fantastic! They even got the engine sounds right. It sounded like a GM LS motor (which it is) and you could hear the turbo's working in the background too. They really hit it out of the park there. I have one major hot rod project in me before I die. I'm seriously considering doing a mid engine muscle car at this point. I'm either going to have to build a custom tube chassis and get a hold of a ZF transaxle. Or, maybe I can find a C8 Corvette that has been totaled at some point and use that as a base for building off of. I like the idea of the challenge. I'd use a supercharger opposed to turbo's (Batmobile is twin turbo) because of complexity, cooling, packaging driveability and reliability issues though.
