About time that grotesque insult to Gene Rodenberry's legacy, long-time fans, and everything Trek produced prior to this atrocity to intelligence and good taste, is finally being put out to pasture to languish unwatched and forgotten forevermore, same goes for ST-PukeHard. Too bad both these abominations can't be fully excised from existence... ignominy and indifference will have to suffice; unfortunately, the brand and live-franchise damage will long outlast them -- interesting that as currently overseen, same with Star Wars, for the most part, the only productions with even a modicum of competence, narrative quality and legacy integrity are the toons.

The sludge must flow.

Yep, what they did with 2202 was a dumbfounding butchering of the original.

S3 Ep 1 sort of had that silly vibe that most of the Book of Boba Fett episodes had, especially towards the end of the season...plus what was the deal with the Dynamite 7 Galactic Whales and Swamp Thing pirate? His head looked like it was covered in that fake grass they place into Easter Baskets for the kiddos!

The tires look good in person.
Well now, I guess I've no excuses to vacillate on getting a copy; besides, I missed out on the Hotwheels Elite version of several years back, and it's been quite a long time since I've purchased a 1/18 diecast model car... and this one is giving me that itch again.

I've been looking into possibly getting one of these 308s, but those wheels look balloonish on every picture I've seen, no matter the angle; so, how do they look in real life?.. Otherwise, it looks gorgeous.

Yeah, prices have gone from questionable, to insane, to ludicrous, and then you add steep US retailer - if even available - mark-ups or outrageous shipping.. pretty much out of this crazy wallet busting train.

Did they mention when they will be issuing the refunds for both Invid toys? I went to their website and, aside from both toys being listed as Out of Stock, found no information/updates.
It's a shame these have been cancelled. I've had one of each preordered since they were first announced, to the tune of almost a Benjamin, and would love to have those funds freed for other pursuits.

Really solid two-parter.
I truly amazes me that one only finds really solid Star Wars (Star Trek too, for that matter), with exception(s), in the animated productions of the franchise.

The Dana Sterling figure's release date is February 23.
Haven't heard any updates in a long time. Anybody else heard anything recently?
Zilch! I suppose something may have been posted on FakeBook or Twatter (I don't do FB or the chirping buzzard, so
). I've been wondering when/if this figure was ever going to be released...

The sludgy, maggot gagging, dumpster fire that is most likely in the offing, and the ensuing fan blaming, istaphobe accusations from producers, directors, cast, shill media/critics, and Netflix (oh, the copium and reeing to come) - not to mention the well deserved gleeful eviscerations from the usual sources - will be glorious to watch.

Hot take: This is getting cancelled. Pretty sure I don’t need to see a trailer. Anime to westernized live-action just doesn’t work. ‘Should have never been green lit.
Oh, come now, Cowboy Bebop was super popular, embraced and adored by fans of the anime, praised by the original creator, and exceedingly successful... oh, wait...

Got a SMS from DHL saying my Angel Bird will arrive Tuesday.
Same.

Well, reaching out to BiJ for a DHL quote paid off: instead of the ¥6800 additional for EMS shipping, DHL's was "only" ¥4510... over a $22.00 savings. I should be getting their shipping notification fairly soon, and the Angel Bird before the end of the month.
-
Just got a payment request for additional shipping charges from BiJ to the tune of 6800¥ -- sheesh! -- via EMS... that's a huge extra bite, so I messaged them for a DHL quote to see if it's less of a kick to the family jewels.

Easy pass as I have zero attachment to the Genesis Breaker - overly busy and gaudy, imo - designs... thank goodness.

Other than a bit of foreshadowing for Cid as a character, episode 4 was 100% filler... fun filler that eschews the more annoying tropes of "current year" storytelling, but filler nonetheless.

If this was going in the garage/basement I'd be happy with going to homedepot. But, as-is this will be setup in my office (one of the spare bedrooms) so it does have to look decent.
Have you looked into a used office furniture outlet? You may be able to find some decently priced and lightly used stuff some business unloaded due to downsizing, remodeling, etc.

The Critical Drinker's take on movies and shows, agree with him or not, are always well put together and highly entertaining... and he absolutely eviscerates Lucas Films/Disney's latest attempt at digging up old, fondly remembered, IPs and torturing them into grotesque caricatures made for "modern audiences".

There is a definite growing trend in the age of social media/current year: more and more people are mostly, or completely, disinterested in appreciating masterful paintings that awe and inspire -- heck, a lot actively deride such works as "problematic" -- and instead gravitate towards staring at a mirror and calling it high art...
