    I just double checked news outlets and pop culture related sites, there's still no announcement by FX if they'll produce a 2nd season. I'd say this is really up in the air. This series was more divisive than Romulus was. Hell I'd say the majority of us here on this thread have not necessarily a distain but very much a cringe for this series as it kept going....at first showing some promise then quickly dropping down to a frustrated level of dislike for it. The story just couldn't gain any decent pacing shifting to many different plot points that dealt more with weak drama and character development to possibly save money over visual effects and horror. If this series got a season 2, I would be some what surprised due to this being a Hulu tied in series, and that being discontinued here shortly leaving FX's future I think a lil uncertain.

    Well I have absolutely zero interest in the MPG, Crossover stuff, or any of that. These collabs kind of suck in my opinion.

    actually I'm canceling my account. They're doing another pricing increase, plus some other reasons personal, and well, most of the stuff they have on their site I already own. And having a tighter budget, I just don't see a point. I'm sure if I don't see it, because it's a movie, it'll eventually come out on 4K or Bluray and could buy it or something. So either way I'm not worried, there's always a way. I know, but it's what he says, and it's what he's told cast in the past. I mean I felt more excited watching it as a kid than I did as an adult.

    George Lucas did say, this is a movie for kids when he did star wars, it's not really a movie aimed at grownups after all. Either way, I think this could be a good popcorn flick. The only question is will I be able to sit in a theater and watch this with my current health. Since it's 8 months away, who knows! I'm crossing my fingers.

    Okay wait, that was it? .........serious? that's season 1?

    the good news is, the Z doesn't use a CVT, it uses a traditional 9spd Automatic like the Frontier and there's been no issues with it. There actually hasn't been any issues with the Z right now that I've been made aware of at work compared to something like the Kicks, Rogue and Altima, which the Altima is going kapootz end of this year and had a TERRIBLE CVT. Since mine is a 6spd Manual I really haven't had any solid issues to contend with. I do need to take it in for a e-brake cable adjustment that's about it.

    Was out and about this morning, impulse purchased SSOne Starscream, Elita One and Optimus Prime. Mainly got them cause I was actually fairly impressed with how well B127 was designed and handled. So while I kind of like Optimus, I very much dislike Elita and Starscream. They've got defects on mine...for screamer his nosecone doesn't fold out correctly flush with the rest of his fluselage making the canopy not want to close correctly. Same issue with his legs, his heels turning into the engines, they won't close up correctly. Elita.....she's just terrible all together, her left knee is crooked and I can't seem to fix it, and her chest won't lock in where her rear wheels collapse in robot mode. Also there's little to no clearance when in bike mode and her head tends to scrape.

    Sadly BBTs said I have to reorder scavenger and refunded me the money. Think at this point I’ll just keep an eye out for him. Fireflight shipped and with that I’ll be finished with the aerial bots. Kind of not a bad turnaround, not even a year since slingshot and airaid came out right?

    It was a slightly better episode, but now we're gonna be in this rush mode with episode 8 being the finale and that kind of pisses me off a bit. There hasn't been any suspense, thrill, or chills this entire season. I mean if I were to compare this series to Romulus, Romulus was oscar performing in comparison.
  10. Hikuro
    Not bad, but yeah I'd wanna see more of it before I make a final decision. I did like the WFC walmart variant, but the yellowing really ruined it for me.

    I've been working off and on with Nissan for nearly 30 years, yeah, pre-teen, and my family and I have always been Z enthusiasts since we owned a 280ZX brand new off the truck back in 1980, so growing up around them I've always thought of it as a dream car. Then in 2022 I sold my old Honda HRV and bought a 2014 Nissan 370Z....sadly the market in the area for them was just terrible and the closest I could get was a Touring model with a terrible paint job and some issues. Spent a lot of time working on it making it better....then I had an incident with a police officer running me off the road doing damage to the car that was entirely his fault and his department refused to pay up to fix. Well when the new Z was released in 23, I'd been sorely wanting it since first seeing the prototype variant at our dealership. Sadly these cars are super expensive for someone like myself scraping by. Well, we had some pretty good deals over the summer, and I had enough of fixing a car that was never going to be how I wanted it. So I was able to work a deal with my sales team and we managed to find me a two tone silver/black sport model for the right price. I've been absolutely loving this car, it handles real well, better at higher rates of speed, the engine has got enough umpf to it that it's made me really enjoy going out for long runs on my weekends off. Just this weekend I took it on a 100+ joyride just having a blast. Ended up picking up donuts and coffee, watch the sunrise then drove home. I've named it Bluestreak in honor of the Fairlady 280ZX the G1 Autobot was designed from. It's got a nice 3 liter twin turbo V6 pumping out 400hp and right now sits as the top of the line now that the GT-R has been discontinued. I honestly don't see myself doing much of anything to it for modifications as it feels and handles nearly perfect for my needs. Since getting it I've had to clear out my entire garage so I can safely store it as we've had some pretty wicked storms with quite a lot of hail falling, and I don't want someone trying to break into it being in a not so great neighborhood. I really need a nice long trip somewhere to really have fun with it, but I have no idea where to go with the limited budget I got.

    I got my hands on Mixmaster and went to cancel it on BBTS and somehow canceled Scavenger even though I know I paid for him......not sure what happened there. Didn't see much of anything exciting though besides Mixmaster. Neither of my closest stores have carried much, they're just getting shelf warming figures left and right. I mean Target DID have a Gamer Edition Thundercracker, but I'm not all that excited over game stuff....I feel like their WFC Figures are to odd of a size and not all that exciting. Optimus was okay, but man the other figures were so gappy and weird looking that I had to pass on all of those.
  13. Hikuro
    I tried my hand at getting Mixmaster at Target yesterday, it showed 4 were available, sadly, looks like all 4 were taken. It even says today, limited stock 3 available but it just doesn't seem to be updating correctly and no one would look in the back room. Could confirm though there's a peg and a tag for him! I'm not gonna worry about it though, I have him on pre-order on BBTS, he'll be apart of my loot and I"m sure available in the coming weeks. My Skydive did show up, so that makes Superion's legs finished. I guess I'll take the win on that one.
  14. Hikuro
    Not gonna say much, it’s gonna be just a driveling venting kind of thing. But this show is really irking me off more than others.
  15. Hikuro
    Yeah well that’s very Japanese lol. Not sure why the manga culture is obsessed with that troupe. Amazon told me they’re pushing firefight back to end of September now, not sure why when he was listed as paid. so guess it’s just skydive now. I did end up canceling A3. The only one I care about was the 2 pack variant and I missed out on that multiple times now.
  16. Hikuro
    Interesting I can’t even find him on the website listings. Otherwise I’d be searching so I can finish two combiners in one week.
  17. Hikuro
    Got a few notifications recently, BBTS said Scavanger is set to arrive soon, so had to make some payment changes there to get him in my pile of loot. Amazon is shipping out Fireflight and Skydive to complete the Aerialbots. A3 is set to ship tomorrow, I kind of wanna cancel him but at the same time, I guess he could actually TECHNICALLY sit in my season 3 display.
  18. Hikuro
    on BBTS's site, it's 225 with a 25 deposit and that's after tariffs. Personally I won't be buying any overseas figures anytime soon because of the tariffs are changing left and right based on ol Trump's attitude. Just isn't worth it since its the consumer who gets the pinch.

    Woohoo! Surprise FedEx drop. Little bummed they broke away from the autobot city back drop with this character, cause he in particular should have that setup. Same time such a waste of packaging, like a bag of chips, they could put him in a box literally half the size and look better. sadly I’m out and about so I can’t say much about him cause he’s still in the box at this time. Now that I'm home and had time to mess around with him, I can certainly say, none of us are gonna be putting him in his alternate form. He's got great articulation, looks pretty close to his actual G1 representation giving very little hint he turns into a tank. Yes there are things that could been improved upon or done differently, but seeing how for the majority of us, he's gonna be in robot mode, it doesn't really matter.
  20. Hikuro
    Well, for the price of this Missing Link Ultra Magnus, I may as well just buy the original G1 toy even if it's a reissue and save myself a hundred or so dollars.

    While the episode was def better than episodes 3 and 4, something incredibly bugs me that I haven't seen pointed out.

    Earth "Military" or government is actually controlled via the 5 Mega-corps in this series. Which is quite interesting as the novels and comics depict things very differently. In the novels up to today, you have the United America's (Us), Union of Progress People (all communist groups like China and Russia), Three World Empire (UK & Japan), Independent Core Systems Colonies/ICSC (Colony worlds), New Albion Protectorate (broken away group from TWE, almost like Australians and New Zelanders) then finally Interstellar Commerce Comission/ICC Which we hear about in ALIENS who take care of all trade and regulation enforcement in space to the colonies and earth. What's odd is NONE of these organizations are even mentioned and are supposed to be the world governments that control yet influenced by the Mega-corporations. In ALIEN: Enemy of my enemy, All of these organizations were supposed to link up on a colonized world to talk about the terroristic attacks brought on by some rogue group who's dropping pathegon bombs on colony worlds. And in the early drafts of ALIEN 3 the UPP play a rather important part of the script. All these organizations are supposed to exist yet never mentioned, they even exist with Amanda being an adult so I can't believe they all just sprouted up over night either. So yeah, I do rather feel Alien Earth is half baked and no one really did their research and no one at Disney/Fox even gave a rats-ass about it.
  23. Hikuro
    except for the last 3 minutes, it was another lack-luster episode. Even still, a bit controversial.
  24. Hikuro
    I was out roaming around to try my luck, but most places aren't open right now. Not like I really got any money at this point anyways after trading my 370Z in for the new model.
  25. Hikuro
    The only one I saw was AFTER that not before.
