  1. Oh, you think delays are bad now. The supply chain just got 5x worse than we have seen for the past couple years. Batten down the hatches, stock up and pt on your patience caps kids. It's about to get a LOT worse.
  2. As an engineer I have to completely disagree with this statement. The design/execution is not good at all (design includes materials choice). At best it's a 4/10. Any product that has frequent breakages, things popping off and or transforming toy that is very, very fragile is a design failure. It's not that they were unable to design something that doesn't break, have parts pop off, etc. The technology and materials are there to do it. They chose to say "That's good enough" and sent it on its way. That is a failure in design and the desire for customer satisfaction. And they are grossly over priced (they retail for Bandai DX VF-1 money). If any of us bought a house, car, appliance, bicycle, etc, etc designed and built to the same standards we would call it a pile of crap and return it. What they have going for them is that they look neat and someone put out almost the whole line of Cyclone's. That's it. If that's enough for everyone, great. I'm happy you're happy. I on the other hand couldn't stomach what you get for your money.
  3. Toughed it out until 1:45am and finished Ozark. Canceled a few meetings in the morning. I thought the ending was pretty solid.
  4. Ozark...at the end of the first episode of the new season (second half) how many of you were yelling at the TV....
  5. Hopefully they're running a test to see how many people dislike the B plot.
  6. Not yet. I'm waiting until I can sit down and binge it. With mountain biking season in full swing finding a chunk of time I'm not riding or recovering (sleeping) is hard. I REALLY want to watch it though!
  7. It sure does seem like it's been a long time since the last VF-1 release.
  8. KB Toys in the mall was pretty mellow. I think I was 16. Just hung around mostly. Crappy parents don't stick out in my mind. Can you imagine working for a big store during the Cabbage Patch craze?
  9. I think Outer Range is going to be on e of those things that pays off in the last 5min of the season. Which I generally find annoying if I can't go right into the next season. Assuming there will be a next season.
  10. I was trying to figure out what real guns they used for the base of all of the guns in the room in that scene. I didn't come up with much. Maybe a couple M-60's?
  11. Yeah, that was awesome. I don't know if I have ever seen a show go from garbage to pretty darn good in the span of two episodes. Fingers crossed they keep it at the level it is now.
  12. NF sure seems to drop the ball when it comes to second seasons.
  13. Oh, forgot about that. I put it on my watch list because of your recommendation. I'll keep Paramount until I have watched it.
  14. Yeah, I'm pretty indifferent on this one (and my second Hayate). Bummer.
  15. New episode dropped last night. Going to watch it tonight. If it doesn't get any better I'm canceling my Paramount+ subscription and I'm out.
  16. With the low quality of movies/ TV shows being pumped out these days I'll just assume they will ruin it. Especially since there is a horrible track record of reboots. And anime adaptations. -Ghost In The Shell? -Cowboy Beebop? -Robocop? -Ghostbusters? -Star Trek (Chris Pine)?
  17. Mine is at LP (Languishes in Purgatory). I don't expect to hear anything for a month.
  18. Looks like your standard PO night. Curious how long it tales to sell the US retailers out. Could be fast due to high demand. Also could be no big deal because scalpers won't be paying the US premium price. It will be interesting to see.
