  1. That's an easy pass.
  2. I tried to give Devilman Crybaby a try on Netflix last night, but gave up after ten minutes into the first episode, as the animation quality is just awful.

    THe VF-2SS with SAP is definitely one of the nicest looking VFs, despite it not being a Kawamori design. Ahd the HM-R version is a fantastic loooking toy. Even more so with the above detailing.
  4. My son has always been into toys. When he was a toddler it was Thomas The Tank Engine, Bob The Builder, then Ben 10 and Cars and Lego, then toy Knights and tanks. From when he was 5 or 6 and we started Watching The Clone Wars together and he got really into Star Wars Figures. This was great for me too, as I've always been a huge Star Wars fan. My son's main preference was Clone Troopers rather than Jedi. I think I must have bought him over a hundred 3.75" Clone Wars Figures over the years as well as several large vehicles, including the AT-TE, Republic Gunship, Republic Shuttle, Droid tank, Droid troop transport. We had many great battles with his figures. Then a few years ago when TFA came out he started getting into the 6" Black Series figures, as like me he was disappointed with Hasbro's return to 5 point articulation with the 3.75" figures. Now he's 13 and a half, he seldom plays with his toys anymore, he's now more into online Steam games with his friends. However, he still likes to collect and display and pose the Black Series figures that I buy for him/us. I have to say as I approach 50, I probably play with his/our toys more than he does...........hahahha
  5. I'm just happy if we get more VF-31 action, I love the design. But I'm guessing the ratio of action to non-action scenes will be extremely low.
  6. I seem to remember a very low budget, terrible B5 movie, which was basically just 2 characters sitting in a darkened room and talking for most of the movie, at least that's all I remember of it......LOL. But yeah the TV series itself was good.
  7. Just about to watch the last two episodes of The Gifted, season 1. Love the show, hope it gets renewed fro a second season. Jamie Chung is so cute. Also on the last episode of season 4 of Z-Nation. This is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows. Also just started on season 2 of Dirk Gently on Netflix. As much as I liked season 1, I found I'd actually forgot a lot of what happened.
  8. I don't collect MISB. My view is that toys are for display and handling and play and enjoying. However, back when Macross toys were more affordable, before prices went crazy, I'd often buy 2 or 3 of each toy, one or two for play and display and a third as a spare to keep in the box, just as a back-up, in case the main play toy broke or got damaged,then I'd have a spare. I don't do that anymore, can't afford to anymore. But even with my spares in the box, I never cared about mint sealed boxes. It never bothered me if the box was a bit beat up or if the tape was cut.
  9. I may get one of these if I can afford it, as I missed out on all the Arcadia VF-0 releases so far.
  10. I seem to remember at the time the PG Millenium Falcon was announced, Bandai also made an announcement about die-cast vehicles, but nothing was shown.
  11. Did I dream it, or was there an announcement earlier in the year that Bandai was going to make die-cast Star Wars vehicle toys?
  12. Pretty funny movie, saw it with my wife and son on Christmas Eve. We all really enjoyed it.

    Could somebody please post some clear photos showing how to attach the included stand adapter to the VF-2SS in fighter mode with SAP attached. For the life of me I can't figure it out and the instruction sheet doesn't show how to attach the adapter to Fighter mode with SAP attached. I'm guessing you have to use the Gerwalk mode stand adapter, but I was fiddling worth it last night and couldn't work out how to attach it.

    So for the Tamishi stands, it has to be either the Stage 5 or the Trident stand? There are so many different types of Tamashi stand it's a bit confusing.
  15. Hmm..........so are they going to base Micronauts more on the comic or the toy line?
  16. 2018 is nearly upon us and there's been sod all in the way of news or updates about this new series.
  17. Definitely not feeling the new Bandai version at all so far. Wishing they had stuck with the 1/35.
