    The case I ordered consisted of 12 watches, there was another set of 9 watches that had an additional 3 watches as you linked to. The problem is everywhere is sold out so I don't have a link. I have a contact who is a wholesale importer, my case had a full set and random extras, all watches are sealed and you can see what your getting by the picture on the box, as I stated above.

    Several stores were selling these at one point, Crunchyroll, Kidslogic... etc. My boxes don't have any specific branding on them looks like it might be an HG thing when I looked on Kids logic website. You can see what watch your getting as its printed on the outside of the box. Also worth noting is these are the Version 1s there is a Version 2 series which are slightly different.

    Manufacturer is Infantry, did abit of googling and they make a wide variety of watches, with some fairly expensive ones. Quartz movement, which is fairly obvious at this price point, Chronometer, Date and 30 Meter Water resistant. Overall for the price point, I think these are very nice, paid much more for other non themed watches and got lesser product. My only real gripe is the band, which are nylon and IMO almost appear as an afterthought. Easily enough fixed by replacement aftermarket bands. I do have a few Banpresto stainless watches from back in the early 2000s, these appear to be of much higher quality overall.

    Took a chance and picked up a case of these watches, only had a chance to really handle one at this point so I will update with additional photos as I get a chance. 12 watches to a case.. Front and side artwork of the boxes.. I figured this might be a blind box item, but I was pleasantly surprised that they show you what version your getting before you open the box. With 6 versions in this set in total, with an additional 2 more that I think were exclusives to certain retailers. I opened one of the stainless Fokker 1S watches..

    Not sure, take it to a watch place and see what they can do. Mine has been dead for years now, afraid to change the battery.. 😵
  6. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Agreed. I was getting worried after the Megumin centered spinoff was a flop. Also started Date a live V.. that 1 episode moved the main plot further then S2, S3, and S4 combined. Artwork is also up a notch.. everything is proceeding better then expected...

    Very cool.

    While I am not gonna knock the series, I still am not sold on the need for a remake. Not to mention the OP is nowhere near as legendary as Tabi no Tochuu. The only big difference i see so far is no Chloe.. so its following the novels. I still am in the camp of wanting to see more adapted and less of a remake.

    This season is off an running.. 3rd Season of Duke of Death and his maid. Its been sometime since I have read the source manga for this, and the first episode starts with a fairly major event. I am willing to bet they try and wrap with this season. An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride - Another title I read quite abit of the manga for, and it slipped right by me. I am hoping they do this series a solid, I can predict where the first season will end. All in all if it stays true to the manga should be an interesting watch. Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku? - This series has potential, lots of talk amongst the groups I travel with and I will admit the 1st episode has my interest. Time will tell.
  10. Stampeed Valkyrie
    *sigh we can hope. I think I have all of them as well, The only one I don't have complete is the Fokker 1S as I am missing the spare head (big one). Anyone have one they wanna sell? :)

    Very nice!, my project is still stumbling along, Need to get some art printed out, and find someway to fabricate the plexi overlay like you did on your Dynamo Cab. Your not kidding about the PCB price.. I lucked out and got mine years ago for only $150.. now they are 700+ jeesh.
  12. Stampeed Valkyrie
    So going backwards from Fall 2023 season.. 16bit Sensation: Another Layer - This was sitting on my back burner this season, overall not anything what I was expecting. Lots of inside jokes in just about every episode, and nods to some really great games. The ending went off the rails in a direction I would have never guessed. All in all not bad, but I can see this as an easy pass if your not into VNs.
  13. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Nice, the SD valks are still my favorite things from KC.
  14. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata or Wrong way to use healing magic just wrapped. I think there will a S2 after watching the last episode because they do just about everything to hint to it without an actual announcement. All in all this series had a lot of potential, and still does if it wraps with just one season that would be quite as shame. Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu 2nd Season - carry over from last season. 2nd season really had no sense of direction or plot. Still going so will keep an eye on it. Dungeon Meshi - Still going, I enjoyed this season and I expect the Gainax/Trigger foot to drop at some point in the next half. Worth checking out so far.

    This show was great, even the last episode was entertaining. This might be AOTY! lol

    So coming back from the double feature screening of Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out and Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid. I am probably one of the more critical reviewers.. so I will give 2 different reviews.. 1st. Anime only viewers.. Both movies are fairly well executed, Sister definitively brings the sister arc to a conclusion, and Knapsack adds to Sister but also directs attention to the MC this time around all while introducing some new characters. 2nd. LN readers.. Its no surprise that the series seems to have started dipping compared to the events concluding LN 6 and 7. Which IMO was peak for this series, neither Sister or Knapsack kid have any real substance outside of introducing new Characters and new Concepts of Adolescence Syndrome. This really feels like a filler Arc leading into the University Arc.. aka later novels. Also wrapping up some Winter 2024 titles.. I am out of synch with my group as they tended to focus on series I had no interest in.. so all me this time. Sousou no Frieren - this series wrapped up with episode 28 and was the highlight for me this season. I personally would like to see more, maybe after the manga has time to advance as they are almost caught up. I'd recommend. Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha - This was a hit or miss title for me, it interested me enough to read abit of the manga and it had its points. This is the typical MC now has or is getting OP abilities and now everything is easy trope. I realize that 1 cour is not enough to really flesh things out, but then I ask myself do I want to see more, particularly as the Manga seems to have gone off the rails.. Shin no Nakama S2 - I enjoyed S1, but that was largely tossed for a new "Hero" that ruined S2. The plot was boring, the climax was boring, and the resolution even felt boring. Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi - Well Boobs... yes I said it.. Boobs. Rom Com, with some humor probably more wholesome then some expect. The climax and resolution lead me to believe there will be no S2. It was entertaining but nothing stands out.. except... boobs. Sasaki to Pii-chan - This one I was going to originally write off as the premise seemed silly. Instead I got dragged into it, probably my 2nd favorite of this season. And they announced a S2.. so good times. Metallic Rouge - Dropped I commented on this earlier completely disjointed mess. Ore dake Level Up na Ken - or Solo Leveling.. Dropped. The MC became unlikable once he went full Giga Chad. Handful more still going and wrapping up this week. Will post more then.

    Back from the End of Evangelion US Movie screenings. I was quite surprised by the number of people who came, probably the largest turnout for an anime movie locally I have ever seen. They did it episodically like it was originally screened.. episodes 25 Air and 26 End of Evangelion. Still holds up 27 years later. During the intermission between 25 and 26 people starting getting up and leaving thinking it was over.. lmao Up Next week for me are the screenings of Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out and Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid. Which are volumes 8 and 9 of the LN series. Both play into each other pretty heavily and setup the events further on the series. As a whole though, they both individually are pretty weak and quite the departure from earlier Volumes. https://www.fathomevents.com/events/rascal-girl-double-feature/ They also teased a theatrical release of Spy x Family movie, mentioning April 19th.. but I see nothing in my searches.

    Not sure what to say about this.. there are a handful of companies I despise more then HG. Di$ney is one of them. Probably gonna keep on sailing the high seas for my Macross fix.

    Did a quick scan of https://www.livechart.me/spring-2024/tv A few titles stand out. As mention previously 3rd season of Konosuba.. The Megumin centered one was a flop. 3rd season of Slime.. still haven't watched the 2nd.. Date Alive V.. I don't have high hopes. Spice and Wolf reboot... why? Duke of Death 3rd season.. The CGI is still terrible, they should be nearing the end here considering everything they skipped in S2.

    I haven't proceeded with Metallic Rouge past whatever episode I mentioned previously. It was a disjointed mess and it sounds like it still is. I keep seeing Witch Hunter Robin mentioned over and over.. its been a looooong while since I have see that one. A Bandai America release from the early 00's. From what I remember of it, I never understood why Robin was turning against her own kind. Even more so that her team hated Witches and disliked her.. the premise just seemed off. I don't remember it being particularly bad, but it wasn't good either.
  22. Stampeed Valkyrie
    It can be at points.. One of Gainax last gasps before splitting to the winds. The series has its moments, and I enjoyed the movies as well.
  23. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Don't worry I'm sure it will do fine touting "The Message". I just think it be great to watch something without having to be bludgeoned over and over again with it.
  24. Stampeed Valkyrie
    So now I cannot unsee the tabs.. just like the KC valks..
  25. Stampeed Valkyrie
    Let me be clear.. I really want it not to be a Dumpster fire, but unless you've been living under a rock, or in your parents basement with no internet one does not need to look very far. I'll start with West World then... First 2 seasons teetered beetween ok and good but never great.. the 3rd and... how'd that turn out again? The Lord of the Rings reboot.. yeah nuff said He-Man reboot? anyone? What I find amusing is how Amazon is touting this Fallout series with the headline about its the same writers from West World..
