  1. It looks like this is becoming a reality now. Hopefully it's not another re-telling of the Original & RDM series. Battlestar Galactica Reboot Gets Exciting Update As New Showrunner Is Hired (screenrant.com)
  2. I will say that the 1/1 Scale B-17's they built (2 of them) look very convincing for all of the ground crew/maintenance scenes, I'm still iffy about the CGI, it looks a bit off to me but in 11 days we'll find out if this series was worth the wait, it's pushing 14 years since THE PACIFIC released.
  3. I'm good with some more TOP GUN but if I have to be honest when it comes to seeing more Air-to-Air combat, honestly, I'd love to see a serious (No Michael Bay crap) live action of the 1980's OVA AREA 88... but that's just me.
  4. Awesome! I didn't really like Maniac at first but it's a favorite now, they weren't messing around with that album, and it's really paid off for them. Despite what happened to Gfriend, I'm happy for Eunha & the others to be having successful careers.
  5. I was even more shocked because I didn't even have to refresh once, it went straight to my cart, shipping & payment... AmiAmi has truly been my go-to lately. And yes, that lovely lady in my avatar is Eunha. (Gfriend & VIVIZ)
  6. HOLY FRAK!!!! I actually got one through AmiAmi with zero issues, I honestly didn't think I'd have a chance... congrats to those who were able to get one as well.
  7. I know Big Bad Toy Store is going to be more expensive but that's looking like my option right now. Last night's PO wasn't light speed but ludicrous speed at selling out.
  8. @KOG Water Dragon & @wm cheng 1/48 VE-1 1/48 VT-1 1/48 VF-1D 1/72 VF-4 Flashback 1/72 VF-X We should all live so long... come on Hasegawa, do it!!!
  9. @wm cheng the YF-23 will be one of the ultimate "what ifs" in aviation, while the F-22 can turn on a dime & give you 9 cents change at lower speeds, the Black Widow II minus thrust vectoring with those "Ruddervators" made it super maneuverable & surpassed the YF-22 in just about every other category, including stealth & speed. If the 22 barely shows up on radar just imagine the 23. The Airforce really missed out in not having at least one squadron of these deadly fighters.
  10. That looks amazing, those harnesses/seatbelts look great. So, is this going to be a US Navy Tomcat or an F-14 Persian Cat when you're all finished? Since you mentioned IRAF Pilots.
  11. It's a real shame with the YF-30 for so many reasons, they never did a reissue or any other color schemes. The few times I've had some extra spending cash, I've thought of grabbing a Chronos but damn, even the ones that are yellowed are expensive. On a side note, my Yamato 1/48 Max 1A (DYRL) that never came out of the box... also yellowed, something in the plastic just turns at some point it would seem. And now, back to your regular scheduled discussion about the SV-262.
  12. Oh yeah, the last 4 or 5 I have seen on Mandarake all had some degree of yellowing. If you have one & it hasn't, you're either very lucky or taking really good care of it.
  13. Those look really good, love the mods you made @tekering, now I need to break out my BGC DVD's, nostalgia time! (I'd love to see either Arcadia or Sentinel take a crack at the Motoslaves + figures!) I just saw that there were earthquakes in Japan yesterday, hopefully everyone in your area is ok with no major damage. As a Californian resident for 31 years, I know earthquakes are no joke.
  14. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! I'm making some progress with the YF-23, the landing gear which again is usually a royal pain for me actually turned out pretty good. Very special thanks to @Chas for the Fighter pilots. 😎👍 (The kit does not include one.) Looking good @Rock, that's going to be one very detailed Tomcat cockpit!
  15. From STAYC to the world, HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!
  16. Nice score!! Gunbuster is still one of my favorite Anime series ever. One of these days I'm getting one too.

    Hi-Metal R

    Tamashii Act Trident display stand, if you can find these, this is what I have for my HM-R VF-2SS's.
  18. I have to admit with REBEL MOON, I watched it with zero expectations and overall, it wasn't the worst thing ever. I tried to not to laugh when I saw Buckbeak's distant cousin make an appearance in the movie.
  19. Making progress. Now for the two sections I always struggle with, carefully glueing on the front section of the Canopy and then the landing gear... those tiny little parts for the gear/struts are hard with big old fingers. The last steps will be ordering in the proper decals for the ATF program & then a wash with some Flory's.
  20. Unless Arcadia sent a warning to Bandai, if you're going to borrow from previous designs, why no one has used the system Yamato came up with for the arms has puzzled me, I mean it works, the arms on my Yamato & Arcadia VF-1's are still rock solid with or without the Fast Packs on. Clearly ThreeZero is borrowing from Bandai & having the same issue. Also, what's up with that frosted/foggy looking canopy on Max & Miria?
  21. @derex3592 That looks really good, love the panel lining! 👍
