  1. Past hour
  2. I get the hate but this movie will make mad money because of "baby yoda." I also predict this will be the first Star Wars film I take my children to.
  3. I don't know if this deserves its own thread but HLJ sent this out in response to the US tariffs. Would a thread that collects the various stores' responses be warranted? tl;dr - As of April 20, 11pm EST, only EMS will be available for shipping to the US. And from a few days earlier (goes without saying, but the coupon code is expired):
  4. I'll get TBS Han and Chewy and TVC Bantha.
  5. Zero interest. Their story ended in season 2 finale. And the most interesting unanswered plot elements worthy of a movie was wasted in the book of Boba Fett and Mando season 3.
  6. I've seen retro Bee and Gears at my local Wally, but no G2 Grimlock (yet). I like that they gave Gears his G1 toy face, but it's disappointing that they didn't do the same for Bee- he's just cast in a different shade of yellow. What's odder still is that they used the Netflix Bee mold, with its licensed VW beetle mode instead of the SS86 mold which more closely resembles his G1 Choro Q chibi design. Having the regular releases for both of these guys, I passed on their retro releases, although I appreciate the card packaging with all the G1 art and tech specs. IMHO, they could just card today's figs, too, at least the deluxes. It would save on the amount of cardboard being used/tossed in the rubbish bin. And for those like me who keep the boxes, cards take up much less space than boxes.
  7. Finally an Episode IV Black series Solo to replace the original.
  8. Today

  10. Casting Ryan Gosling is a wise choice. Ryan can be a fun or serious actor but will this be a fun or serious Star Wars film? I'm leaning towards the former which I'm fine with.
  11. I still like Silver Surfer from the other Fantastic Four movie and how he looks.
  12. Well, this is promising: “This is a stand-alone. It’s not a prequel, not a sequel. It’s a new adventure. It’s set in a period of time that we haven’t seen explored yet,” said Levy. He added that production starts this fall.
  13. I have it but it stays in Ultra Magnus mode. The white Prime has troubles standing on his feet (at least in a static A-pose) because the heels are not straight, they are slightly slanting upwards) and too short. The other thing that is annoying to me is that they painted small red rectangles on the inner robot’s forearms so there is a uniform Red torso in armored mode. It really sticks out in the white Prime mode and I don’t understand why they couldn’t engineer a flap to cover those areas and have a pristine look for the inner robot’s forearms (it is also absent from FansToys product photography). Other than that it is your standard FansToys fare: great sculpt, great paint, great materials, great silhouette, very accurate, nightmare transformation. He even has above standard articulation compared to the average FansToys piece. I think it is pretty great but I have it for the Ultra Magnus mode. While the Masterpiece one is fun to transform is has the standard low production values most Takara MPs have and has odd proportions and limited articulation.
  14. Found it very interesting that the a-hole too mount the base is actually integrated in the first two releases as well! But the manual never mentioned it....
