    KC 1/72 line has it quirks, it also has its benefits. Level of Details with markings puts it on par with the Premium finish valks. And if you have a problem KC is pretty quick to respond. As opposed to Bandai.. anyone? Yellowing Frontier valks, HMR parts mismatch.. The comment that none of them are good is Troll bait.. don't like it don't buy it. I bought in for the SD valks and I might be the only one still commenting on my desire for more of them.. (puts on flame suit) I prefer them over the vintage Bandai Joke Machines. There I said it. I do agree @jvmacross about the latest version of VF1 valks, particularly with the tab placements that just look weird on the 2.5 releases.

    Since this thread is alive again, might as well chime in. Group watched most everything this season, will focus on a handful. Spy x Family S2.. much of what I was going to say has already been covered. I too enjoyed this series, apparently a movie and something else has already been announced. Chainsaw Man.. much complaining about this anime in the viewing group. I liked it, but apparently its not real faithful to its source material. Not that I would know anything about that as this was my foray into the series. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!.. its on my list probably in the next few days or so I will have some updates trying to play catch up. Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita.. Pretty average overall, not a terrible watch but not something I would recommend. If you like Isekai genre its pretty vanilla along with loli catgirl. Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou Sareta Beast Tamer, Saikyoushu no Nekomimi Shoujo to Deau... this one was pretty popular amongst the group. Harem OP protagonist series. I stuck through with it to the end, but another easy pass. Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!... This is a great series, love it even more because it pisses off the right people. Hopefully we get more, worth the watch. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.. I mentioned this before, this was a great series. I'd love to see more in this world. Renai Flops.. I was goaded into this series, and I am glad I stuck with it. It goes from 0 to 100 really quick. Another Harem type but with quite the twist. Its worth the watch. Futoku no Guild.. Most of the group passed on this, but I am glad I gave it a chance. Yes its ecchi, but its pretty funny. Personally I am a big fan of the art style they use during the OP with how they fill in the CG graphics. Watch the OP and the OGs here will get it. Akiba Maid Sensou.. umm yeah.. I am not done with this yet, but I will complete it. Kinda hard to describe its a maid series, that is pretty hardcore. Yeah that sums it up nicely. Utawarerumono: Futari no Hakuoro.. this adaptation has pissed me off to no end. I thought they goofed up MOD pretty bad, and they topped themselves with this one.

    These came in just before Turkey Day!
  4. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Yeah, just got the invoice request. Apparently starting EOM.

    Just arrived. More pics in the KC thread..

    Just came in this evening.. Box is pretty standard KC fare now, both fastpacks and VF1 in the same box. Front, Back, The stand is clear this time around, I actually prefer the Red Roundel painted base.. they should stick with this and no more goofy colors.. So some thoughts on this release.. QC seems to be good upon initial inspection. No obvious goofs like Ricks TV 1S, the gold gun strap for the gunpod is pretty cool. The Panel lining is done pretty well, I am tossed up though if it needed it for this release. The Black and Gold Fastpacks looks pretty fricken cool, that alone made this purchase worth it.

    Enjoying my Netflix jaunt into anime, Isekai Ojisan is great, also started watching Cyberpunk 2077 Edgerunners.. totally a Trigger anime. Lastly picked back up Bastard, and I am enjoying that as well.

    Just got my shipping notification on the Black and Gold Super 1S. Looks like they are also sending me out the replacement to fix my Hikki TV 1S.
  9. Stampeed Valkyrie
    The Mrs. actually bought me this one, personally I think Yellow suits Devastator more then lime green.
  10. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Good week for Macross Goodies.
  11. Stampeed Valkyrie
    The Black and Gold schema, actually works pretty well.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    No Captain Lou Albano.. then no deal! 😝
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I know that feels bro.. I liked my black and gold VF-1S, so I will bite on this. I find this much more appealing then the Jetfire clone.. TBH.
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I am gonna beat the dead horse.. Where is the SD GBP valk?
  15. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I'm probably the wrong person to ask, but I did take note that there were extensions is some scenes.. most likely directors cut. I did not notice any CG revamping like they did in the first one.
  16. Stampeed Valkyrie
    This might be the first KC release that I am not really sold on. I even liked the Black and Gold and Black and Red versions of the VF-1S. I did get an order in, damn FOMO.

    I just caught the final showing of ST2 WOK at my local theater. A whopping 8-10 people tops in the showing, and more then I expected from going to see the first movie. This was the peak of the ST movies... they never were able to catch back up and it still holds up 40 years later.
  18. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I'm kinda meh on this. I may end up with it anyway but not sold on this idea.
  19. Stampeed Valkyrie
    I am waaay out of date on the Yamato Remakes.. I really liked 2199, and I have 2202 but I have yet to watch it. After that 2205.. lol

    While I think its pretty cool that someone is trying to resurrect a neat 80s toy line, I find the price point hard to swallow. Red Gullwing looks pretty cool, but a pre-order over $100? and normally $170? I don't see this line really going anywhere. Not trying to Poo-poo this, as I like the idea, but I'm out.

    I was recently gifted 2 ships from Eaglemoss that were larger in size, maybe XL not real familiar with this manufacturer. Both seemed to be fairly well made but had some obvious defects but nothing I would not expect from a mass produced item. I feel for my cousin though who was building the Enterprise D, or to be specific was collecting the volumes to maybe one day build the Enterprise D.

    So is anyone following anything this season? For me its mostly been a disappointment. Besides Overlord S4 and Danmachi S4 both are enjoyable so far. Overlord S4 is actually watchable unlike the dumpster fire that was S3. Danmachi is holding up on its own, I just get the feeling that so much is getting edited out for time. Speaking of anime's that are so heavily edited for time.. Utawarerumono MOT.. *heavy sigh* So much is missing, They are rushing so quickly that major points that occur early on that effect the story are just lightly skimmed over.. or just outright edited out. Even some of the comedy elements miss the mark because you can't tell a joke without context. I know its 28 episodes, and we are only 8 in but my hopes are largely dashed. If you liked any of this play the game. Seriously. Let's see what else.. oh yea this season's Isekai Trash.. Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo... I realize that this is very early in the story but this is a good candidate for Creepiest anime of 2022. The whole Slave thing just turns this series sour.. not to mention the MC is outright Trash. Hataraku Maou-sama!!.. A 2nd season that they took way too long to bring out, and at this point its falling on its face. The 1st season was done much better, and the jarring disconnect is so bad. It does not help that this season has a very weak story arc. Kinsou no Vermeil... While not outright terrible, its not really that great either.. At least the MC is not a total pushover, as of Episode 7 that is. Kakkou no Iinazuke S2.. dropped. 1st season was OK, had my interest enough to read the manga. That killed it for me. Feel free to chime in if its worth picking back up again. Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru.. Well its amusing I will give it that, I think the side characters are more interesting then the main ones are. But if you like a light hearted Rom-com I can see this working. Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii.. Only 2 episodes in on this one. The group is watching this one, seems to be pretty light hearted with some comedic elements to it. If you like busty Older sister type maids who have a thing for Shota's then this is your time to shine. Prima Doll.. 3 episodes in and the group dropped it. If it gets better let me know. Key's string of bad Anime series continue. Hanabi-chan wa Okuregachi.. well its basically a series of shorts about several well known Pachislots.. Hanabi, Thunder, VS etc.. all getting turned into cute anime girls. If you go into it without much of an expectation you won't be upset. Another light hearted just watch and pass the time anime. Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari.. Another title the group picked up this season. On the fence with this, enjoyable but not sure where it is trying to go. The idol episode was great.. SHADOWS HOUSE 2nd Season.. Group is supposed to start watching the first season.. I hear good things. Summer Time Render.. Another one the Group has on its list, another one I hear good things about. I think Disney has this behind its paywall.

    The me of 5+ years ago would be pretty upset about this, I ordered from them almost exclusively and had a string of years where it got crazy how much $$ I spent with them. Then their customer service completely fell apart, because of this they lost my business and I literally cold turkey cut them off. As of late the only things I was getting from them were Right Stuf exclusives like Aniplex titles, and Sunrise items. They were literally the defacto anime distributor in the US. Sentai, Funi, Aniplex.. Sunrise, BigWest.. I would be curious if Sentai pulls out now that CR owns their distribution methods. RS at least packed their items like they gave a ****, unlike amazon where it was Wild West with how much protection things had.

    I personally want more of the SD valks. The SD GBP is pretty much why I am sticking around. Enemy Mecha and Destroids have my interest but the cloth figures.. not so much. As for the 1/72 valks so far minus some QA issues I like them, probably not going to get every release as they keep going up in price.

    Nice, the fastpacks really look good on these toys.
