  1. I'm excited about that Shin Mazinger Zero!
  2. Bingo
  3. I'm with Sanity on this. My company designs and manufactures from a idea to final product. I can assure you that even if I had a product to copy (short of the original CAD drawings) it will not impact by bottom line final per unit cost that much. And even with "stolen" CAD drawings you're still not looking at a massive savings. And if I were to copy something else than charge far less........you're not talking about fantastic margins. I would be shocked if VF's retail is double their dead nuts cost. Shocked. And double is what you shooting for as a minimum margin. Less than that you have to question why you're in business at all. Unless your selling zillions of units. Which in this example is not the case.
  4. That looks great. I wish I had room for a second Tread.
  5. Point taken about suspending belief. One point about Ghidorah and the MUTO taking the atomic breath. We don't have a understanding of their biology, specifically their skin, and their defense against atomic breath. Kong is a big Gorilla. I would assume that he has the skin of a big gorilla. Not a good defense against fire. Let alone atomic breath. I get irked when movies scale powers for the sake of making a story line work (Scarlet Witch for example). It looks like that's what Godzilla has going on. And letteral scaling Godzilla on top of that. Between the last movie being over people'd and therefore rather disappointing and what I'm seeing out of this one so far I don't have high hopes. I really want to have high hopes. Godzilla means a lot to me. I used to watch it with my Mom when I was a little kid and my Mom and I have seen all of the modern movies together too. If the quality drops much more than the last movie it's going to be a real blow to tradition for me and my Mom.
  6. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Too many humans....with stories. I DON"T CARE! And in what universe would Kong stand a chance vs Godzilla????? Let's be real. Godzilla would turn Kong into a pile of ash from a mile away, turn around, and wander back into the ocean. This is just as dumb as Batman v Superman. Superman flies at mach 10 into Batman and turns him into vapor. Movie over. This is the only Godzilla movie I will not be watching. Thanks for ruining another great IP Holyweird. To be fair, the last one wasn't that great either. I'm disappointed. Godzilla is one of my favorite IP's.
  7. The shipped to your door price is the one that matters.
  8. Metallic pink/purple.
  9. Everything man made has a failure rate. One failure is not evidence of a trend. Only when the failure rate exceeds 2% (it could be argued that the toy business will have a higher rate due to overall lower QC) do you have a “problem”. Unfortunatkey we don’t know the production run size so we can’t calculate the percentage.
  10. @Rogueload Which packs are those?
  11. NO, WE CAN'T!!!!
  12. I haven't even opened my blue ones yet! I think I'm going to give my Mospeda shelf some love this weekend. I just got back from the gym and moved some stuff around so I can un-box that Steel Jeeg and some other Super Robots I've been sitting on for too long. Dammit! Where is my Gurren Lagann though?!?!?Tracking stopped 11/18. Good thing I have a backup shipping early next month. I may have to burn ShowZ if the first one never arrives. I don't want to. But if I must.
