    Well, the angle of the photo doesn't help, as the thickness of Brawl from back to front makes his leg look even thiccer than it is if viewed from directly forward. Add to that the ankle position nearly halfway up the leg, which also makes the leg itself look shorter, all which conspire to make him look rather chonky and squat. I appreciate that the leg bots, at least, are doing their due diligence more than the arms in this case, but it sems that the overall execution could have been improved. I look no further than Magic Square's Bruticus:

    I haven’t seen them in the U.S. stores and that usually doesn’t happen with Moderoid, they’ve all been easy to find. I think it may be a harmony gold blockade rolling again. Probably since these are labeled with the Japanese names. Usually the stores you listed will have them on the same day or a day after the Japanese preorders open. The tariffs are unfortunately adding a lot of extra costs that are rather frustrating to hobbies and collectibles

    Vegas seems to have a museum for everything. Everything from gangsters to punk rockers to ones that can give a dose of radiation or a curse from a creepy item

    It has been a bit of a wait, but I'm not minding it. For a good show, I'll give it the time it needs, and it looks like it is here. Just finished the first half and I'm loving it! Still with the excitement, the dread and the humor. Except for that one half season here Eleven went off on her own, this show has been pretty solid all the way. Really wish they'd just released them all, but I guess they gotta do what they gotta do, and it ain't no stick going to places it don't belong..

    The Micron announcement is additional terrible news for consumers in the tech market. As for the AI bubble, I don't think there is one.

    I was thinking Leprechaun, but that works too. Just replace "They're always after me Lucky Charms" with "Diggy Diggy Hole".

    All of them have been self contained, but with a big spoiler hook usually thrown in at the end. Season 4 could easily have been the end of it with just a slightly different end scene.

    Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?!is ended next week. I am glad it is just getting worse and worse every episode.

    Maybe it's the picture, but Bruticus looks a little short and stubby like a dwarf.

    Thanks for the tip all! I'll proceed with that option. I'm exicted to rebuild my collection.

    Ha, what a crazy choice for a next release! I'm in.

    This is how I purchased mine. DDP means you pay for the tariffs up front through the retailer. If not, I believe you pay FedEx the tariff fees when it arrives in the US. Zero issues with DDP and it arriving quickly through FedEx. Also this toy is amazing and worth the high price tag and shipping.

    Found the FALLOUT Vault-Tec Supply Pack by Jones soda at my local Costco. $20 for 12 bottles, eh. So I bought one case and its typical Jones soda. Good but super sweet, lol. It's a whimsical treat as we typically only drink kombucha with lunch or dinner. https://www.jonessoda.com/pages/costco-ne-fallout?srsltid=AfmBOopZ2HZJY5VvACzoKc9gzRTmzD_VHwpOFLs5NO6oNNeUWkRhH8ry

    If you choose DDP the retailer will pay for all duties and taxes! If not then you have to deal with you're lokal customs office and pay all the fees yourself!

    I ordered this from yoyakunow for￥49,510 and shipping is an additional 19,430yen for FedEx shipping (lowest cost option). With these new tariffs and rules, I'm a bit confused because they asked me to decide if I want DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) shipping which I'm not familiar with and this is the first time using a proxy. Their description of DDP was a little contradicting possibly due to translation, does anyone know which option is better (use DDP or not) and do I pay customs fee separately on top of the 19,430?

    I saw a pic of this this morning, not knowing it was Hasbro's, and thought it was some chibi version. I woke up late today and was confronted with pics of Bruticus everywhere, so the realization set in that this is what we're getting. I don't necessarily hate it, but I'll agree that the legs look disproportional. I'm sure DNA or one of the upgrade kit makers will sort us out. I'm still quite pleased with how Onslaught turned out, and I'm both relieved and glad that they integrated a turning mechanism for his trailer, a necessity that is often missing with Onslaught toys. I realize it'll likely be limited, but at least it's there in part. Mike, you're not wrong about their over-reliance on the frame system and the concessions the use thereof entails. Bruticus epitomizes those concessions, alas. I wish, like the Constructicons, they'd found a way to use the bots themselves as limbs. And like you, I prefer Bruticus' toy look over the Sunbow. I never understood the Blast Offish shuttle-like chest, especially when the toy's chest piece was completely different and far better looking, IMHO. Gripes aside, I'm eagerly awaiting the preorder windows for Onslaught and Swindle.

    It was shown in the Battle Ring scene where also the Purple Bear was shown. I think episode 4 (Battling) 🤔

    Micron Announces Exit from Crucial Consumer Business So I have questions. What happens after the AI bubble bursts? If Micron is doing this, what's stopping others from following suit? We know 90% of Nvidia's sales are datacenter-based. What's holding Nvidia back from killing Geforce? It's not like they need GeForce to sustain themselves. If Micron/Crucial killed the Ballistix line back in 2022, they must have seen the writing on the wall back then. Sidebar, I'm actually considering upgrading my stuff just to lock in the deals right now (minus the ridiculous RAM prices). Between skyrocketing RAM and SSD prices, rumors of AMD price hikes, and factories NOT increasing production, these proposed price hikes are really gonna hurt into 2026. Either the AI bubble is going to burst and bring everyone down or things will not improve for the long haul. Like not till 2027. Also, is cloud-based setups the only way us peons are going to have affordable computing?

    Well that's different... When was this in the show?

    Potentially. It would depend on whether the TV/Movie continuity also includes the Aerial Knights moonlighting as mercenaries. IMO, the series doesn't quite align to that since it treats the Aerial Knights as having been the Windermere NUNS before the secession and there's no mention of them having used the Sv-262 in live combat prior to the attack on Al Shahal in 2067. There is a section in, I think, the VF-31 Master File that talks about the Sv-262 so there may be some detail in there. It's easy to be consistent when there are barely any details to get wrong. 🤷‍♂️ Kind of feels like an unusual "reality ensues" moment. A senior developer under contract and subject to a bunch of NDAs quits and goes to a competitor and leads their development of a derivative of the product she was developing at her old company? There have been a LOT of lawsuits like that lately over GenAI technology with senior devs leaving to found startups or join rivals and getting sued for allegedly stealing trade secrets.
