I kind of went a little crazy recently and bought a few kits. Namely the entire Lego City Explorers/Arctic 2023 line. It started with just buying the submarine to go along with, then the small motor boat, then the arctic shelter with snowcat, then the big floating boat, and finally the skimobile. To make matters worse I also picked up the undersea exploration sub base as well as a couple submarines from the older 2020 line. Plus a couple of minisubs variants from the 3 in 1 sets. So now I have this desk with a big damn boat on it, underneath that is a shelf with the sub base and subs and a bunch of divers on the very bottom shelf with some rocks and coral with a angler fish.

I'll be blunt here. Seto has a strong dislike of Harmony Gold, the Robotech brand, and anything connected to it, to the point he will go out of his way to denigrate it and downplay it's impact. Wether he likes it or not, or is even willing or capable of admitting it Robotech back in the day was a modest hit, and still maintains a surprisingly large cult following to this day which is quite an accomplishment given it's syndicated nature, and is better than a lot of similar properties from the 80s and 90s. Outside of the Hasbro and Mattel brands you don't really see the longevity or attempted revivals quite like what Robotech has had without there being some demand for it.

G.I. Joe Classified Figures and Toys
renegadeleader1 replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Honestly sh** got weird in the later years. We had drug dealing pimps like the Head Man and his army of mad max looking leather dudes in scully caps with cobra commander like mirrored facemasks, eco terrorists spreading toxic sludge, literal werewolves with bug eyed monsters, power armor wearing cyborgs fighting on the moon, and that was all before the alien invasions(yes plural) or the time a literal robo-nazi had to fight a bunch of thawed out WWII commandos that were cryogenically frozen after a mission went wrong. Then things really got crazy with G.I. Joe X-TREME!!!!!!!!!- 1106 replies

Saw it, it sucked. Preachy, obnoxious, heavy handed, and enough plot holes to drive a truck through. Sure was pretty though. The VFX team deserves an oscar.- 1605 replies

The General Movie Thread
renegadeleader1 replied to TangledThorns's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
People are talking about Snyder's Rebel Moon project being a former Star Wars project, but The Creator itself actually looks like one. When I saw the poster in the theater with the robot in the field, the odd buildings in the background, and the font chosen for the title I thought it WAS a Star Wars film, specifically the one about droids that was rumored to be in production. Even the trailer looks like Star Wars outside of the AK47's and US military uniform that one guy is wearing.- 1605 replies

I think most of us try to pretend that show doesn't exist.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
renegadeleader1 replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
And this is why I prefer console gaming. They may not have the prettiest graphics, but the games are all programmed to work with a known quantity and system requirements. No dealing with software or hardware compatibility issues, no OS updates that brick older games, and no rebuilding a shitty $3000 gaming rig every two years because some fancy new tech came out and the latest killer app is running it.- 6869 replies

You talk like this is a new thing, but it's not. Remember Dallas and "Who shot JR?" from the 80s? If that's too old how about Reimagined Galactica and it's "Who is a Cylon?" nonsense? People are always going to theorize and make guesses about the shows they're invested in, the only difference you aren't going to hear about it in Entertainment Tonight, Sci Fi Weekly, or the entertainment section of your local newspaper now that they have Discord, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Youtube.

I wanted to go to that brick con as it was the closest to me here in Montana, but work had some personnel shake ups and I can't get the time off for the event due to short staffing. Would have been neat to see if they had any neat castle stuff for sale, but oh well. Have fun! 😉👍

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
renegadeleader1 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The Mig-23 didn't have zero/zero ejection seats and the plane was approaching it's minimum safe ejection speed. It was either punch out then or trust the pilot of a rapidly descending ailing aircraft to not make you a synchronized smear mark on the ground with him. I would have punched out too. -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
renegadeleader1 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Anyways, the Museum of Flight... I was there three weeks ago for the Boeing Seafair Airshow. That Thursday they had a special for free admission after 5pm till they close at 9pm. Ends up I didn't hear the closing announcement because I was so focused on taking pictures they shut the lights off on me while I was in the WWI and WWII exhibit!😆 -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
renegadeleader1 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If you are still in the area head north for about 20 minutes to Paine Field in Everett. The Boeing Factory is there as well as the recently reopened Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum. You will not be disappointed with the latter! -
General TV & Streaming thread
renegadeleader1 replied to Tking22's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I've said it elsewhere, but I'll say it again. This trailer has to be one of the most generic looking things I have ever seen. Might as well have called it... Chronicles of Star Dune Episode 1: Return of the Avatar Riddick and the Rings of Jupiter Ascending.😝 -
Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
renegadeleader1 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It made it's debut at OshKosh a couple weeks ago, and people seemed shocked it didn't crash then. -
I picked up the Black Knight's Castle set from a Bricks And Minifigs store in Monroe Washington. I paid $150 for it complete without minifigs. Considering how much the set is going for on places like ebay with kits in worse shape I think I got quite a deal.

Hammerhead's in the first two were hilarious. The first pair just wanted tires. That's it. Calypso was just too dumbfounded to twist their wish. The second pair wished they could fly...then jumped out a window right before Calypso was going to give them plane tickets.

You would be correct. The clown's name was Needles Kane. In the first game the Cabbie driving the taxi Yellow Jacket was his father, Charles Kane. His ending is kind of depressing as he enters the tournament to find his missing son only for Calypso to tell him they already have reunited in the tournament and his son was the clown driving the ice cream truck. Charles Kane gets brought back along with Sweet Tooth by Calypso in Twisted Metal 2 as the boss Dark Tooth seeking revenge on when you kill Sweet Tooth at a certain point in this game.

It's a helmet. Range Vipers are essentially supposed to be relentless survival experts than manage to survive the most hostile environments with little to no resources hence the "zombie look." One of the Joe's survival experts, Ambush has an exgirlfriend named Evy who is a Range Viper and is show without her helmet. Multiple episodes show other range vipers without the zombie helmets.- 1106 replies

Godzilla Minus One - November 3rd 2023
renegadeleader1 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
According to the director himself... "Japan was at zero immediately post war and then Godzilla strikes to hit an already devastated society at it's lowest taking them below zero to a new level of desperation, a minus one." -
Yeah, I didn't quite get it until you did that, and then I remembered what the original R2-D2 looked like.😆

I don't think Kenner ever made an E-Wing. The only toys made were a galoob action fleet one, and a Lego release that was called Jek 14's stealth starfighter.
