    Upon watching all 79 original series episodes while researching for Star Trek II, Harve Bennett said that TOS was "one third great, one third mediocre, and one third awful" (the exact wording may be off). I think he was being generous, but that's a pretty good summary of TOS. I like some episodes of TOS a lot, but I cannot think of 25 or so that I would consider "great" even if I count the "so bad they're good" episodes like Spock's Brain.

    Nora shipped out! Tried to combine it with some other stuff, but the shipping costs went so high that it was actually cheaper to ship things separately. So no point in waiting for more PW purchases.

    WTF? Does HLJ use Paypal's conversion rate when you switch the site to USD?? Always pay in yen and use a CC that doesn't charge conversion fees, kids!

    Nora just dropped into my PW.

    I actually love season 1 of TNG because it's so awful and cheesy and enjoyably bad. Season 2 was still bad, but not bad enough to be any good. Same with seasons 6 and 7. I'd say there are more bad episodes of TNG than good ones. Count me as one of the people who dislike "The Inner Light." It's an interesting idea, but the actual episode is boring as f*** to watch. Why the hell am I supposed to care about a dead civilization that sends probes to randomly snatch victims and force them to live a lifetime in a lame beige version of the Matrix? The DS9 episode "Hard Time" explored this idea better as we get to see the impact on O'Brien after he's forced to serve a 20 year virtual prison sentence.

    147 bucks from AE for me. Weak yen is good for us!

    Too many stupid flippy jumps.

    I will say that I did like the final showdown between Obi-wan and Vader. It's the kind of fight we should have gotten at the end of Episode 3, not the stupid lightsaber dancing we got in that stupid movie.

    This show sucked. Looking forward to the Pitch Meeting.

    Season 2 is mostly garbage, but you don't want to miss "Q Who" and "The Measure of a Man" which are two of the best episodes from the entire series.

    Yep, 2 sets are good for a single 1/48 valk. Or two 1/60s

    Hope Arcadia has better luck with their QC than Bandai...
  14. Lolicon
    It's not mine, luckily. Yeah I'm hoping this isn't the new normal for Bandai releases moving forward. These kinds of problems are not really acceptable for something this expensive.
  15. Lolicon
    That is correct. I built mine from four sets put together. One set by itself is not all that big.

    Even with the new expanded hangar, 4 valks in fighter mode is still a tight squeeze.

    Great work! Always gotta make up for Bandai's sloppiness. I rebuilt my hangar/maintenance bay finally, after spending months in pieces.

    And so on. Lucasfilm needs to license the de-aging tech from Marvel.

    Haha So while decaling I learned why the NUNS emblem is on that spot on the YF-25. It's because the shape of the 25's nose makes other insignias look awful when plastered across such an uneven surface. Only the SMS insignia looks good there. I looked through my old valks. The 25s and 29 (even the recent reissue) are metal. I can't determine if they are metal on the WWM 25 because of the paint. Anyone care to damage or destroy their WWM ankles for science? How did you make that determination?
  21. Lolicon
    Fixed up the WWM VF-25 a bit. The matte finish out of the box looks great, and it does incorporate some of the improvements from the recently reissued YF-29, but the overall QC is pretty bad for a $200 toy. It easily has the worst QC of the 25 line. Still, it's a VF-25 and she's quite lovely to look out.
  22. Lolicon
    Bandai also botched up masking and painting the stabilizers. Even some of the internal tabs don't fit that well, which may be why they decided to just glue the front fuselage shut, when it was unnecessary on all previous 25 releases. This valk feels more like a 3P KO than an official product. Or maybe it doesn't, after seeing the 31AX.
  23. Lolicon
    Obi-Wan was using the farce.
  24. Lolicon
    Yep, no way shipping alone can account for the steep markup on the VF-0S when looking at the comparably-sized and weighted Ez-8.
  25. Lolicon
    I'd be surprised if Nora wasn't pushed back and came out before the YF-19. But I won't complain if it comes out as currently scheduled.
