    ^That's what got to me on MoS as well: It's not so much that it was a bad movie per se, but it was awfully tedious, which made it a fail for me because it just wasn't entertaining. Marvel movies, even the lesser ones, excel at being wonderfully entertaining; so far, the DC stuff hasn't even come close. I'll wait to rent BvS:DoJ at Redbox in 3-4 months.

    ^ So, every 10-15 minutes their RCS will go from "Nothing to see here..." to "Hi there! Can you see me now?".

    And say yes to bacchanalias...

    ^ Yep! Expect the same weak wing bars and gimpy ankles as the original release.

    HLJ has shipped my 0S... not long to wait now, unless Good Friday gets in the way.

    That's one hell of a way to make lemonade... Bravo; you made it look like it was always meant to look that way... a production version VF-29.

    ^ 50%?!!!.. . Absurd!!!... Criminal!!!...

    Just paid for my VF-0S HLJ order, so I'll join the owners club within a week...

    I think you're being far too kind. This is the Hollywood equivalent of braking into a sanctum and desecrating it by using the reliquary as a latrine...

    Finally pulled the trigger on a VF-0S with this HLJ sale; total was ¥27,340 shipped. The last time I was tempted was Amiami's damaged box discounts, but this was way better... glad I waited. Now, if they would only include the VF-2SS in this sale at the same 30% off... I suppose it's still too soon for that, but I'm patient.

    It's not that Christal Skull was a bad movie per se, it was passable; it's just that it was a lousy Indiana Jones movie. It had its moments, but the whole was less than the sum of its parts.

    Just got my second Regult, this time from Amiami, today. Great figure with outstanding articulation given the subject; although, Toynami's version, one of the few good toys they produced, is closer to 1/100 than Bandai's. Aesthetically, both versions do the mecha justice.

    Somehow, the word Epic is too pedestrian and inadequate an adjective to do justice to this project...

    Actually, you can...

    Eww!... Remind me never to walk into a stall you've just vacated...

    It IS Hank, so I'd go with a mix of the first and last options.

    Just my observation, but it appears to me that the turret is in scale with the details molded on the Death Star base tiles, not with the Fighter. So, it's both to scale and under-scaled... from a certain point of view.

    AFAIK It's strictly a TFA version... rectangular sensor only. I wouldn't be surprised if an aftermaket round dish resin replacement is released at some point- maybe directly based off FM's 1/144 Falcon.
  20. mechaninac
    Actually, at least as far as the Millennium Falcon is concerned, although not aftermarket, here you go...

    Secured one (one is all I need) with Amiami. I would have preferred HLJ but they were already at Order Stop by the time I checked, and the difference in price is not that significant over Amiami's price... and I felt like I owed it to Amiami to throw them a bone after I decided not to honor my ET Silvie Gena VF-2SS preorder.

    ^ Unless Bandai decides to use multi-injection molds like they've done with some older Gundam kits, which I highly doubt they'd employ on a cheap little Mecha Collection model, it is safe to assume that what's shown is a painted and decaled sample; there's next to zero chance it would look that detailed, or even halfway there, right out of the box, and the provided stickers will not yield such nice results either.

    Got a payment request from amiami -- paid, and shipping confirmation from CDJ... Woohoo! Edit: And that monster ; it's indeed a Monster!... And it shall be mine! Preorder night is going to be nuts.

    I'm more and more glad I decided to let my preorder lapse; I just couldn't bring myself to pay full retail for an execution that I would consider mediocre to passable at half the price, and an epic fail at MSRP. I may jump in if/when unsold stock goes on liquidation sale wherever/whenever that happens. Too bad since I really wanted this to be good, but other than Battroid looking somewhat okay, it just seems like ET phoned it in and decided to price it similar to the far superior competition; and to me being largely a fighter mode display guy, this toys just doesn't cut it.

    You can still buy one at N-Y, but beware the sticker shock...
