  1. Well, this wasn't at all what I thought it was, and felt pretty disappointed.
  2. I went to Toy Dojo located in Austin over the weekend and came across Bluestreak Earthrise. I had to pick him up since I loved the Fairlady Z boys. Sadly though, after 1 transformation the whole roof section snapped off the pin and disintegrated entirely making him non-repairable. 35 bucks down the drain right there....very disappointing.
  3. You keep saying Stormlander, are you meaning Homelander?
  4. Never in my life have I ever uttered “Jesus Christ!” So many times as I have with this series.
  5. I don’t recall seeing that when I preordered it. I think most people like myself are more about “gotta get it checked out NOW before it’s gone!” Speaking of which, I just happened to of looked online at target and noticed they’re taking orders again for the seeker two pack of TC & SW, so I did that as well. now all I gotta do is wait for Thrust to eventually release and I’ll have all my seekers ready to obey lord Megatron!
  6. I got my cone heads two pack and was a lil miffed at Amazon as like so many others who ordered from them, received their units with the shipping labeles slapped right onto the actual toy box versus in a box. Man, lots of collectors are just miffed over it. My box received some damage but luckily the figures were fine.
  7. because the shipping notification I got listed the wrong city in my address. I've never had anything from USPS take that long under the correct address.
  8. I took advantage of their 9.95 special on the Discovery Enterprise last month. Was actually really surprised how quickly it shipped.....but man service went downhill real quick. Their shipment center royally dinked up my address and it went from their warehouse to Indiana and once it hit Texas it went back and forth to 15 places, every day it was somewhere else and even went back to Indiana before going back to Texas where it sat for almost a week in Dallas before arriving to Austin and then sat another 3 days there, went to another town and then to my town. Had a long talk with their customer service rep about the issues last week and they pretty much just said "Oh well." After that I canceled all my future subscriptions with them and terminated my account. The enterprise did eventually show up today and I didn't see anything wrong with it and think it's a pretty neat sculpt. But I don't see these things being worth 50 bucks. I'd pay half that price maybe.
  9. I recently just got a risen printer and have been doing some awesome builds with it. If I can I'm gonna dig around and see if I can find my old busted garland if you ever decide to share those files sometime. Feel like off my printer I can get it to fit just right with almost no issues and have a working and displayable unit again.
  10. I wanted one but bought another printer instead.
  11. I thought they’d come back tomorrow not today from the email I was given this afternoon. i did however watch the river launch. I dunno about you guys but I took part in their engraving event last year and put my family and I names on it. Thus I get to tell people I got my ass to mars.
  12. Don’t forget the seekers and reflectors....think those made the mass of the deception army. they were all that way when you watch but yes for a bit with a grill as his abdomen it looked very out of place. All the fembots got hip sway though so I guess that’s okay?
  13. So, it’s okay, I’m not big on the voice overs cause many I don’t feel fit the character they’re portraying (ironhide......wtf?) but like MANY cgi based animations you got a handful of body styles recycled again and again and again. That was my problem with the Star Ware cartoons as well. Same character design, but let’s make this one blue and the other green. Or this one will look identical to a senator but let’s make her hair brown and her outfit a lighter blue. Same thing applies with this show.
  14. Man, the blu-ray anniversary release from some years back....I remember they blurred out and edited two "gory" scenes and I believe the audio was slightly altered since it was originally a mono track. Those things tend to happen when old animated films are brought back. Look at Gundam, when the films were released on DVD then again on Blu-ray, the audio track originally mono had to be touched up in order to used on modern televisions and sound systems giving a very out of place styling that didn't work well with the animation. When I had worked on the fandub of DYRL back 10 years ago, I actually was able to rip a number of the sound effects and ambient tracks from the original Macross series and it was clearly Mono. So I went into Audacity on my end and I added the right channel to the left channel and cleaning up what I could thus turning the sounds from mono to stereo. Some sounds slipped by me though and I could hear it later after post going "DAMN! I screwed up there.......well I'm not going back!"
  15. Can they put nipples on his tomb stone? Make it sexier.
  16. I’ll be all over that cyclonus for sure. Makes me wonder if we’d get a galvatron, or new sweeps but I’d doubt it....this line seems to almost be a blink and you’ll miss it.
  17. It certainly adds to that old Kenner feel of slap any animal to a Xenomorph. Has anyone tried predator hunting grounds? I picked up a PC digital copy for 20 bucks and sort of mixed feelings. The tutorials are awful and there just isn’t a lot to do in the game since it requires you to level up your account to unlock more goods. But also have encountered a lot of bugs and cheaters.
  18. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/110600. Saw the listing for this on my email from BBTS and I'm scratching my head cause this came out of no where....and was just like WTF?
  19. I caught this yesterday and gave it a watch. Personally I don’t like the Dark series, and personally was losing interest in this whole franchise of “new 52” series of films with the whole Batman or justice league versus stuff. And the story didn’t make sense to me. I don’t know if I missed something like another movie or what! But things were mentioned I don’t ever recall happening.
  20. Wow nicely done, I would love to print replacement parts for my MZ23pt2 Garland, get it back into fighting shape. My printer is busy making a B-1 Battledroid but I might be able to poke a friend to use his resin printer to make a smoother print.
  21. You sir, are a travesty. Love episodes showing how this war affects the clones. i thought the story arc was great and I’m sure now we’ll be focusing on Ashoka being in the depths of corasent.
  22. I wonder if mark will probe Alan for advice. But the cast seems pretty amazing.
