    Not even that...for me, if it is animated or a 'live-action' movie or show...it's canon....so I feel I have watched almost all the Clone Wars and everything else that meets that criteria with the exception of the Resistance animated show and the latest toddler Jedi show that is on D+....and yet, it was still not enough...the show had me wondering what the heck I was watching on several occasions.... I found it funny though, how an episode later they 'schooled' the non-fanatics about 'Cortosis'....Darth Manny sort of explains 'Cortosis'....it's like the concept is brought up as a wink-wink, nod-nod to allow the mega fans to bask in their Star Wars 'street cred' while the rest of us have to wait for the explanation....

    Are there any examples of non-Japanese markets receiving bad customer service from Bandai?...and I'm referring to legit legally sold Bandai items from either Bandai directly on non-Japan Bandai sites or their authorized resellers.... BTW....I don't consider having to send in the entire toy for a complete replacement "bad customer service"....more like inefficient internal processes, which I would not consider my problem unless it impeded me from getting my item made whole again...

    I have one already en route from AmiAmi....but I have a couple more waiting to be shipped...wonder if these shops would be able to open and confirm the condition of the antenna....then again they can always lie then blame the shipping company....quite the catch22 cluster frakk indeed....think I'll just tempt fate this time....it's only first world problems...
  4. jvmacross
    Bandai is probably handling the antenna debacle on a case-by-case basis....for now...instead of just admiting they Bandai'd things up...

    Exactly....the point is that Star Wars is way too entrenched in pop culture that it is highly unlikely to have a show where you will be able to appease most viewers especially when trying to come up with something new...."they ruined my Star Wars head canon!!!"
  6. jvmacross
    Nah...you are by no means a filthy casual fan as you claim....you still have way too much knowledge of the various Star Wars lore out there....whether by accident or actively seeking it out....whether canon or not...regardless of source medium.... I'm thinking these shows only fit 2 demographics....hard core fans that simultaneously would never find any fault with anything "Star Wars" related....or people who have zero knowledge of anything Star Wars and are simultaneously easily entertained by white noise.... Occasionally they do come up with something more or less enjoyable by most....like Andor...and IMO it is because it respects what has come before it and does not try to recon or reinvent anything while also providing a generally good story...

    It's a WWM release....there is no shortage of squeaky wheels in the USA! I really want to see how this is handled here by Bandai USA...may finally be a good reason to pay more when buying local...lol

    I was thinking about that new "supe" from The Boys that needs to get repeatedly lobotomized in order to enjoy her life.... From a certain point of view....you almost have to have any previous knowledge of any and all Star Wars lore...canon or legends...forcibly removed from your memory in order to be able to enjoy most of these new Disney shows "as is" with no backstory baggage from previous movies or books, etc.... Or would it just be easier to just go for the lobotomy?

    I am not seeing the adherence to the lineart.... ....or to the drawn anime cels used in the actual anime... Maybe someone can create a "parts-former piece" that can be swapped in for battroid mode...assuming the current back piece would be easy to remove... ....or simply wait for the renewal or HMR version...

    From which retailer did you purchase yours from? Wonder if there is any pattern based on shop origin?
  11. jvmacross
    What retailer did you purchase yours from? Or was it from multiple shops?

    It is revealed that the Witches all died playing some Squid Games style tournament sponsored by the Hutts and televised throughout the galaxy via underground gambling venues on Boonta Eve...all made possible and in conjunction with the help of a rogue contingent of the Jedi led by off-brand Nebula and her dirty Jedi crew...

    Yeah...paid just under 17 bucks to get my VF-1J shipped directly from ThreeZero....they used DHL No idea why KC can't do the same...

    At this point I fully expect Sol to get decapitated by Darth Manny in the last episode as he is about to reveal all the shameful things he and his deviant crew did on Witch Mountain.....then the screen goes black

    Although I would like to have their Glaug and Destroids....I feel weary about giving them anything via a Kickstarter....I already stopped POrdering anything from them requiring a deposit since the Regults....so this move with the Kickstarter just seems like I was not the only one who stopped either.... Also....apparently they already have the majority of the R&D work done for these toys....so it's just a matter of taking PO deposits like they always have and just produce in the quantities needed to justify their expenses to develop it so far....they claim to have their own manufacturing facilities so it just makes no sense to need a Kickstarter to be able to release these.....it all just seems shady to me....
  16. jvmacross
    To be honest...I was shocked mine made it to me fairly unscathed....the Three Zero shipping box is essentially just barely enough to fit the toy box... ...with a thin piece of cardboard on the top and bottom for added "protection"..... I have to give credit to DHL for handling it with care...
  17. jvmacross
    Did this shop remove the toy from Three Zero's brown shipping box?

    It makes sense that Osha would think she would have remembered him since they are in the same age group....The line where he says he was a jedi....a long time ago.....made me think he was a lot older than he appears.....are they going to change who Darth Plagueis was?...or is Darth Plagueis keeping him looking young? This may also explain why he made the comment to Sol about how he did not remember him, if he really is older than he appears.... If he is indeed the new "canon" Darth Plagueis....it makes Palpatine look like more of a badass for being able to eventually take him down at some point....

    meh...rat catchers were able to behead the King's son....that town apparently does not have the best security apparatus in place....I have a feeling the right amount of coin can get you were you need to be

    Well, at least Sol initially tried to do the logical thing and report back to his handler...off-brand Nebula...and then the lights go out...but I must have missed the reasoning behind why he would not want to finish what he started once the lights came back on....instead he jumps off to who knows where...guessing either Witch Mountain or he knows where exactly to find Almost-Sith's Spa... So now the number of 'witnesses' to a potential Sith re-emergence have grown, which means off-brand Nebula's got to go and for sure Mug and the other no-name Jedi are bantha fodder....as of this episode, the number of Jedi 'in the know' is still manageable and can still manage to keep the Jedi's belief that 'No Sith have existed for a millenium'.... Anyone else get an Ach-To vibe to that 'unknown' planet? Maybe the other side of it is full of Porgs and Blue-milk Manatees!

    Update...on the chest cavilty issue....in order for the chest piece to fit perfectly, there are some tabs (2) that need to go in as far as possible into the slots on a plastic plate that is directly underneath the outer chest piece....I got it as far in as possible and that seemed to have resolved the issue...it still looks like the tabs can go further into the slot, but the way it is now is enough to hold it in place.....once these inner tabs are in correctly...the final 2 tabs will provide a better fit to the outer chest piece...here are the pics of the tabs and slots that work together to get everything perfectly connected....all must be fitted into each other perfectly or the chest piece will keep popping out of the chest cavities.... Inner chest piece slot....there is one for the right side and one for the left... Tab on chest cavity piece....one on each cavity (left and right).... Once it is installed properly...it looks like this....it seems to be able to push further into the tab, but did not want to risk breaking anything....either the slot is too small or tab is too big.... These slots then connect to the final 2 tabs on the chest cavity pieces.... Tabs on the left and right chest cavity pieces... Both chest cavity pieces are now fitting much better.....
