    Brand and quality of paint. Course why it's 20+ for you i have no clue while it's about 8-10 for me. But honestly that gold is not really all that great.

    That's kind of wht a lot of us have been saying now for the last 10 days. But in all fairness it was actually still a good movie, better than the prequels.

    Seeing how the resistance doesn't have as much backing as it use to that's understandable. Just read that the film finally hit the 1 billion box office sales this weekend. I'm sure Mickey is snorting the longest line he's ever had in his life.

    Couple more images. Epoch, Gladius and Jade Fire. The Gladius kind of hurts my eyes cause I got it doing a flickering pulse kind of effect right now.

    speaking of sabers, my 2nd saber arrived, well I had to go pick it up. I got a text from Saberforge asking me to show up tomorrow if I can and I told them I'll be there in under 12 parsecs, 14.5 tops. So atleast someone got the joke cause a few I know it went over their heads. So either way, this is Saberforge's Gladius type built around TOR mmo from the first saber you get as a Jedi when you complete the first story arc. It's built with a Veridian soundboard so I can customize the volume, motion sensitivity and battle clashing. The saber also can channel 5 different blade effects which really go from variations of flickering or pulsing to still solid color. Custom leather wrapped handle and a deep blue blade, not as bright as my medium blue on my Epoch of the same brand, but good enough I think. 384 dollars though is still a pretty hefty price, but I'm glad they're located somewhere I can drive to and see what they got whenever I feel like it. If ya gotta have something for a light saber, you're better off with these guys.

    Last I remember they only do it due to faulty runners and living in Japan. Otherwise you need to contact a bluefin rep or website to request parts and they'll cost you some bucks and they have very strict rules on what you can get.But that's what I remember I could be wrong.

    Well I just got a rather nifty piece of merchandise. Over the last couple months every local news channel has been covering the company Saberforge who build lightsabers if no ones heard of them....they've been around I guess since after the recession when the owner lost his job as an electrician and opened up this place. I have a few friends who own some of their sabers so when I asked if they were awesome, I was told it was a stupid question and to just shut up and buy one. I go online on their Etsy page, ordered their Vengeance with an amber LED, Blade, charger, blah blah blah. That was back in October! Now into December I got pushed back 3 times, going from 4-6 week build, 8-10 week build and then a 15-25 day recevial from a company that's just a 40 minute drive from my house. Going back and forth with these guys on what was going on with my damn saber I finally got a refund. Today I had the balls to go to their showroom and saw all their wonderful merchandise, play with the products, ask some questions despite them being insanely busy with a dozen people wanting service and only 1 guy behind the counter. Needless to say, I walked out with a better attitude than when I went in. The guy behind the counter gave me more info on what was going on and what I should of done than they ever did online. So now I got a special unique built lightsaber being built for me and ready to pick up in the end of the month AND walked away with another lightsaber. So all in all I spent 618 bucks! But I mean come on! This looks so damn cool! and what's so awesome is I had my freaking living room lights on and I'm still getting that intensity from the LED?! Wow! Just wow! Can't wait to get my 2nd saber with all the trimmings in a week and a half.

    Those bandai X wings are NOT fun to build......good god.

    think he's the black guy we see in the trailer...I think. But hey at least they did take the time to write off smiths character that's not done to often in film.

    I managed to score tickets for early saturday morning....i'm gonna have one busy ass day, but the movie will be the biggest highlight I think.
  11. Hikuro
    Depends how you're building. I cut all my parts, clean nubs then apply my stuff. By the time I finish cutting next set of parts I'll start cleaning. Sooooooo let's say 20 minutes should be nicely set.

    On the paint liner pens I got, they work decently on 50%, but the black pen won't disappear as easily on mistakes.

    It was when anakin meets with palpatine to report about gravious location. You see Lucas talking to another extra as anakin runs past him.
  14. Hikuro
    I typically use 70% when I'm panel lining but if you got to wipe it out yeah 90-100% will kick its ass and leave no survivors.

    I only have prime for 3 more weeks, so I've been taking as much advantage as I can. Even if it's a few dollars more on some kits versus slower service I'm doing it.

    Guys ever heard of a men's girder? Shatner was well versed in them. Perhaps hamill did the same! Cause man he didn't look anything like that when he was reprising his role as the trickster earlier this year. And I think that was back in April or May.

    I actually just ordered the new X wing and a first order trooper. Very excited to start work on them both!
  18. Hikuro
    Wow that gave away to much.
  19. Hikuro
    That's kind of how it is with anything Orguss related. Prices are just stupid expensive.

    This movie I think gave me the black lung.

    I kind of got to say the oppisite. It was an okay movie. I got a little choked up a couple times in it, but a lot of the film felt boring and this introduction of fighters by stopping and bringing up their stats was cheesy as sin. it ruined the pace of the film and the type of film the new franchise needed to live up too. If it was going to do this everytime there's a new creed movie, I'd get super annoyed. Also, I would of at least liked some cameos of other rocky characters. All we ever got WAS rocky. What about lil Marie? or Steps? We were introduced to new characters last film and now, POOF gone. What bugs me the most was the rocky film went full circle and closed things up. Now we got this Creed movie and it kind of opens the door back up for Rocky's story in another perspective. And without Stallone or his character, Adonis and Michael B Jordan have got nothing as there are no other big A list actors in it. On the plus sides though, Stallone did well, one of his better acting moments and that says a lot....I don't think I've seen him this sincere about his character since probably the original rocky film. Bianca, good character, she wasn't the typical black chick a lot of hollywood writers come up with in a run down neighborehood imo. I thought the film was good, but I don't think it was deserving of that 90%+ rating. More like 80%.

    It was an expensive kit for what you get as a glorified large HG when you can get a PG with much more for almost the same price in some degree. I'd only recommend a Mega Grade for those who are die hard Gundam fans, even I own one. I goofed around tonight while waiting on turkey to finish and finished my Pale Rider kit. Then I took parts of it and my 7th Gundam and interchanged them to make these monstrosities. Honestly? I like them both! But now I'm totally focused on making either one of these a reality. Most likely using parts of the 7th Gundam as I have a spare kit....probably will change the head maybe into the Thunderbolt version or something else I haven't decided. I do want to change out the backpack but the Pale Rider version isn't exactly compatible it's a little to wide and low. It uses the two hole system going side to side so if anyone has ideas I'm open to suggestions. I also have an HD weapons pack and some other bonus parts to make the kitbash a little more unique. But I like the build idea so much that this would be my own custom Build Fighters model.

    I got to admit, Ezra is coming a really long way since he began his Jedi training in season 1. And the addition to Rex is great though we haven't seen the other Troopers he came with either......thought they came with? Eh. I'm still though just waiting for that reunion of Asoka and Vader and see where this damn thing goes!

    Fresh at 94% on RT, looks like the old nostalgic films of our lives are making a comeback. I'm planning on seeing it tomorrow as part of my families thanksgiving movie day. Also neat tidbit I read is that this movies release marked the 40th anniversary of the originals release.

    good trailer but that's got a pretty nasty spoiler in it too that made me wanna cry cause it's something else to say good bye too.
