    LOL....is going to the Disney parks that out of reach financially these days that they need to release "official" POV videos? With that said...why wait until May 4th?

    Does the VF used for the logo mean anything? The current WWM logo features the 19, 29 and 25....all non SDFM and DYRL VF's.... Probably just a bait and switch maneuver....but one can "hope" for some interesting developments...

    Under normal circumstances....this would become clearance fodder....with the current tariff nonsense....if Bandai is fearful of the "Made in China" ramifications....it's possible it may limit WWM availability to US customers knowing that not too many US collectors would be willing to potentially be on the hook for a 245% tax on it upon arrival at US Customs.....Hopefully, the whole tariff situation gets resolved soon... With that said, I'm good with my Original Yamato VF-19 Kai with Super Parts....plus I was able to grab the set of Fire Bomber 1/60 figs too a long while ago....more importantly....skinny-legged Macross 7 DX'S are an easy pass...everyone knows them legs need to be thicc....

    I don't think most kids and teens care for Star Wars these days....to get that crowd packed into the theatres, Lucasfilm needs to get tiktokers to start creating memes for the movie asap...worked for Minecraft! https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/1k1uyk7/star_wars_celebration_mandalorian_and_grogu/

    Rejoice! As our addictions to plastic and hi-metal crack will soon be cured for us all..... https://amp-cnn-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/15/business/hong-kong-suspends-postal-service-to-us-intl-hnk?amp_js_v=0.1&amp_gsa=1#webview=1

    It all depends on how aggressive customs will get.....a brown shipping box from Japan in theory should get the Japanese tarrif.....some US custom guys looking to get employee of the month may open the same box for inspection and see a toy with packaging that says "Made in China".....what happens next may cost you more than double what you paid...

    Some Chinese companies have been evading US tarrifs by outsourcing their manufacturing to places like Vietnam....thus why Vietnam is getting hit hard too....so it will be interesting to see how deep the US will dig to tack on tarrifs on any merch "made in China"....and/or "for China"....the weak Yen was nice while it lasted....now we'll be back to probably the same high prices or worse....

    Who really knows why Bandai has yet to release those long teased figures....but I can't imagine our current economic climate being very encouraging for Bandai to finally pull the trigger on any of them....I'll patiently keep waiting....and try and stay optimistic on the KC releases....

    The 145% tarrif would make the shipping cost seem reasonable....no bright sides to be had for a while....

    Nope...just 8 https://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/arii/arii_main.htm 15th Anniversary 1/100 and 1/170 Factories Arii reissues all their original 300 yen kits for the 2nd time. New box art featured, and each kit comes with a small PVC Macross character (8 unique figures total)

    After all these years, we finally may get a Regult Scout toy....but now it will may end up costing more than double the initial price due to the tarrifs...to think just a few months ago we were initially just concerned about the "exorbitant" KC shipping costs...those were the good ol' days!

    Have to say kinda dissapointing....just a collection of everything available in other books, magazines, etc.... Was sort of hoping it would be more like what they did for the Kawamori Designer's Note....oh well....guess the ultimate Mikimoto book will need to wait....

    As long as you don't walk out with two of the special tins, a special cup and a plushie you'll be good....lol

    Saw this yesterday with the kids....was a goofy and fun watch....a sequel definitely was setup but I guess that happens with any movie these days....
  20. jvmacross
    Saw the extended preview trailer during the Minecraft movie last night....looks ok, but they are hyping it up too much for its own good....
  21. jvmacross
    Nah...it's not just "one very specific" Star Wars title.....it's all of them....every single show has some nod to previous SW shows or movies....maybe you just have some disdain for the PT stuff and may be specifically more sensitive to Clone Wars references...it's not any more fanservice-y than nods to ST and OT stuff....heck, if you are an uber fan, you even get nostalgic nods from obscure sources that no normie would even pick up on, like in the last SW Space Pirates debacle...
  22. jvmacross
    Well....get ready to bend over even further....rejoice! For your day of liberation is at hand....
  23. jvmacross
    Errrr....the entire series is based off of Rogue One - A Star Wars Story, which itself is full of OT call-backs, characters, locations, and ships, etc.....these nostalgic nods are disbursed throughout the first season and will no doubt be scattered throughout the final season....nothing wrong with it....it's part of what makes it a great show...
  24. jvmacross
    Same thing could have been said, and probably was, about Andor when first announced.....nostalgic teats are all Star Wars has left to feed off of these days...

    KC Update for Recon Battlepod... We are excited to announce that the Recon BattlePod will feature the following new designs, enhancing its technological appeal and interactivity: 1. Magnetic Switch Control for Lighting Effects - The lighting effects for the entire unit, will be controlled using magnetic switches. - Users can simply move a magnet to turn the lights on or off, ensuring simple, convenient, and intuitive operation. 2. Cockpit Nightlight Power Supply - We are experimenting with dual power supply options for the cockpit nightlight, offering users more flexibility: - Battery Power: Allows users to operate the nightlight in environments without external power, making it convenient for display. - USB Plug-in Power: Enables users to directly power the nightlight using a USB connection. * Limitations: - USB plug-in power is only designed as a direct power supply and does not support lithium battery charging or storage. - Due to internal space constraints, the feasibility of supporting both power supply options simultaneously is still under evaluation.
