Fixed it.

I feel for them. They have to be pulling their hair out over there in frustration.

Amen to that! I think the only bogey we have now is what does it look like when there is a PO for something really popular? We may not have to be up in the middle of the night smashing F5. But F5 smashing may not go away. -
Two?

That pink is terrible.

I think 1mo is highly optimistic at this point.

169ish Valks? Yikes! Quick count I have 95ish 1/48-1/60 Valks. I don't like to display very densely, but it took 80cu ft of cabinet to get them all out of the boxes and displayed. I could display all of yours if I got rid of my Super Robots (not going to happen!). Do you have a room big enough to get all of your stuff out and on display?

And getting the lyrics wrong!

I'm asking, not saying.

Is that a bazooka in your pocket? Or.............

I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine. I'm not much for "the feels" (tough childhood), but losing my wife of 23yrs (been together 31yrs) would absolutely crush me. ----------------------------------------------- I think the thing that impresses me most about Evangelion is that it's a different series/movies to everyone based on your own life experience. Anno is a genius.

They got an early jump on normalizing the future.

I like all of the Nolan movies. Especially The Dark Night. But I have to give a slight edge to this new one. Probably because I really like the style it was done in. And yes, the new Batmobile is sick!!!!!! I have one big hot rod project in me before I die or stop doing that sort of thing. I've been kicking a wide range of ideas around. After seeing this I'm seriously considering a mid engine muscle car with a electric motor up front to drive the front wheels. It woud be a heck of a challenge. I'm thinking 1000rwhp on 93 octane gas for the internal combustion motor (that's pretty easy) and 500-750 wheel HP from the electric motor up front. Pretty much whatever I could get away with up there and not have it torque steer me off the road. The Keaton Batmobile is a tie. I like it because it's so over the top.

Or all of the above. I agree that bean counting is not the only thing that decides product development and releases. I have some good friends at Ford and you wouldn't believe how much money is gambled on pet projects. Generally it's decided by one person........without the input of the bean counters. The current EV market smoke and mirrors thing is a perfect example. Same thing with self driving cars. Both from a practical standpoint are completely unrealistic (as a large percentage of the fleet). Even Elon Musk will tell you that.

We have a winner!!!

Same answer as two posts above. If they thought they could make the type of money they need to make to green light a project, they would. The biggest thing that Macross has working against it is lines like Gundam that rake in the bucks. If a company has X amount of time to put into projects it's going to put that time toward the ones that make the most return on investment. You could argue that they could make more money by hiring more people/ investing in infrastructure. But, there is an entirely different calculus for that. For example, I could do more business if I had more people/ infrastructure. But, building that infrastructure and hiring/ training those people doesn't have the right cost benefit ratio unless I plan on dramatically increasing production/sales. Making those big steps in company growth is a massive risk.

That would be a shelf space wrecking 25" long! If they made all of the Destroids and the Zentradi mecha so I could do a big diorama, I'd be in. I think HMR is the only chance though.

Probably the same reason a vast, vast, vast majority of choices are made by humans.....................

My Hayate was delivered 1/12/22 (not sure about release date) I PO'd Mirage's 31AX 10/24/21

This would only be my second 29. I'm not doing PO madness. If the next morning it's still available out of JP (I bet it will be) I'll get one out of JP. Hopefully AmazonJP. My favorite source. If I can't get it out of JP I will think long and hard about getting one at all out of the US. It's going to depend on what the "landed on my doorstep" cost is going to be. BBTS does have it's advantages with some stuff. But so far Macross stuff doesn't seem like it falls in the "well, that's a good price" category.

I'm not what you would consider a "Halo Fan". I played the first game all the way through when it was released and that is all I know about the universe. So effectively nothing. Which of course leaves me with a different perspective because I have zero story-line and nostalgia to work from. I don't like the show. And I don't dislike the show. I'm going to say it's a 5 out of 10 for me. Enough to watch right before I go to bed or something. But nothing I would go out of my way for. Aside from having to grind my teeth through the side quest malarkey I'm having a real hard time with the tactics (complete lack of them) and "realism". They're incredibly unrealistic and the Spartans come off as complete goofballs. Not super duper troopers. And as an example of 100 small things that drives me crazy is how do the show runners not come up with something Master Chief can do with his helmet when he takes it off? One, he takes it off every 3 seconds. Tactically, stupid. Once it's off he just stands there with it in his hand. Again, tactically stupid. Now only doesn't he have his helmet off, which shorts him a whole lot of data. But his head is completely exposed. With it in his hand he has now shorted himself 25-50% of his combat capacity (depending on if you include his legs or not). Dumb. The show runners could have simply made it so his helmet clipped to his armor when off to at least make it so he doesn't look like a idiot standing there with it in his hand. Long story short the Spartans in no way shape or form make me think "baddest super soldiers in the universe". Which is a massive percentage of their identity.

So no one has seen a "Shapeways" Hikaru with no helmet but with goggles for the Fan racer? And no sitting Minmay?
