  1. I got the 1/48s to set up with the plethora of 1/48 Mospeada stuff, but the oversized are decent for posing with the CM's, Megahouse, and (when they release) B2.FIVEs. I already pose the Matchbox ones above, so this would just be a variation.

    Thank you.

    I think I'm either just being lazy or the ol' brain isn't firing on all cylinders today.

    I have one Megahouse, most of the CMs, the Sentinels, and the B2Five's on order, just curious if these are going to scale well, and so the completist in me should get some, or if it's just going to be an oddball I won't be displaying with anything else, anyway.

    The B2.FIVEs are going to be 1/28, so they should scale perfectly with the smaller "oversized" if that gets made. At this point, it appears unlikely, given we're not near the minimum number of orders (200) to get the smaller "oversized".

    My Photoshop-fu is weak. Does anyone have a feel (or can put together a quick image to give an idea) of how these would compare with the Sentinel ride armors or the classic CMs?

    I think I just tend to be skeptical of scales from manufacturers.

    I can probably work something up once I get some client work done, but the 1/23 is roughly the size of the old Matchbox shocktrooper and the 1/28 is roughly the size of the Matchbox "scout". 

    Here's my Matchbox invid with the Megahouse (a little bigger than the CM's) on the right and the Sentinel on the left.  So defdinitely won't work well with the Sentinels but should look pretty good with the CM's (or even better with the B2.FIVEs).

  4. It definitely takes away from

     

    Spoiler

    Eto/Daneel getting Dors to protect Seldon and then becoming "human" by actually falling in love with him.

    I don't usually have issues with gender swaps, but pushing multiple characters into a single role is just unnecessary.

  5. I forgot about this coming up but have been re-reading the novels (did Foundation through Foundation and Earth, plus Robots of Dawn,  Robots & Empire, and the short story collection by other folks Foundation's Friends).  I am now most of the way through the first prequel Prelude to Foundation, so it is interesting to see what they do with the property. While a lot of action happens "off screen" in the books, it shouldn't be difficult for them to milk that action (especially since they can go detailed).

    QQ, now that pandemic restrictions are lifting in my part of the world my game group is back together.  We're playing Dungeons & Dragons 5e, and although we've been gaming together for a long time (since 3.5e) I think the less crunchy rules combined with being away from the game for awhile have me more into it than ever.  I was wondering, do enough MWers play D&D, or at least some tabletop RPGs, that it's worth spinning off into a new thread?

    Still playing, though mostly with friends on discord now. Here's a part of my old D&D book collection:

    I have a ton of TTRPGs and other board games (including a lot of old Avalon Hill games). My pictures from earlier in the thread all seem to have broken links for some reason.

    The shipping container situation is BAD! Then even if you get them in a container and to the port of LA they sit there forever because there aren't enough workers to get them unloaded fast.

    I just had to have 4 pallets of product I have manufactured in China sent UPS because I couldn't wait in sea shipping.

    I have a buddy who does logistics for one of the big wood pellet grill companies. They're loosing money on their Walmart deal right now because everything has to come air. Walmart isn't into excuses. It's so bad that they have been looking into buying their own planes.

    Yeah- the Battletech folks just gave an update on our Wave 2 Clan kickstarter stuff- they talked about how one of the ships that was supposed to pick up their containers just kept going past and never went into port, leaving all the folks with containers for that ship scrambling to get their stuff on another ship (at crazy extortionate prices). Between covid slow downs and that whole Suez blocking thing, shipping is so backed up and screwed up that it isn't funny.

    Just so that everyone is made aware, there are plans for the production of a 1/48 Biopsycher (hereafter Hemmoroid) in 2022, either late Winter/Spring or later in the year. You have at least 8 months to get your wallets ready.

    Who doesn't want three Hemmoroids?

     

  9. @jenius noted in his review that they look like they have attachment points on the leg for a tread, along with the display arm for fighter mode looking like a tread connection. But nobody has seen any prototypes and such yet. I'll be happy just to get an indication of PO for the Houquet ride armor soon.

    1479356635_idealscale.thumb.jpg.857383b7c30b154382eb8b29eb578127.jpgThankfully, Evolution Toy's Legioss is almost the same size, and scales more coherently with other 1:48 models (including Sentinel's pilot figures). :good:

    "Rowboat-Tech to the rescue!" :p

     

    Granted Evolution's "1/35" scale pilots are smaller than Sentinel's 1/48s.

     

  11. Yeah- shipped some stuff with From Japan and it cheapest at the time was FedEx International Priority. DHL was still cheaper than EMS, but I think a lot of factors vary to make things cheaper at any one time from each vendor- size of package, weight of package, vendor agreement with shipper, etc.
