    Of course, Superman doesn’t need one at this point....I was referring to characters like Mr. Terrific....in Creature Commandos they at least gave enough of a background for the characters to be able to just go with it...it also helped they had more time to do so since it was a series....in either case, it wasn't the biggest problem with this movie....the biggest problem was that it was just "ok" for being the more general audience reboot for the DCU...

    Just saw it. It's ok....not the kind of movie you'd be counting on to reboot a franchise. There really was just one major change to the Superman lore....it really did nothing to make me rethink the character. The only thing that I really think did and will make a difference in this "rebooted" DC universe is that apparently the need for "origin" movies are no longer needed? It certainly forces you to just go in with an open mind and just hope the characters can make things "work". For the most part, they did for me....however, I was left wondering the most about Mr. Terrific. To me he seemed the most interesting new character that I wish I knew a little more about. He apparently was sort of like an Iron Man, where his powers are all derived via tech. In short, an ok movie but it just seems like a very low key franchise reboot....only time will tell if it all works....tbh....I take that back....Creature Commandos was technically the first offering for the new DCU....and it was better overall IMO than Superman...that also had a bunch of characters I knew nothing about...but it all worked...at least for me...

    Not exactly the type of discussion I envisioned when I added "...and Beyond" to the thread title....

    Exactly...it's like they know the movie is going to bomb so they are moving straight to the profits they will need from physical media sales to make up for poor box-office sales.... Meh....still going to see it on the big screen....then Fantastic 4.....also will catch the latest Jurassic Park movie on a matinee or 5 dollar AMC tuesday.... There's actually more that the usual summer flicks that I'm interested this summer....

    Probably the first time I have had zero interest in any item tied to a Macross event....would have tried to grab a D+ Macross Poster if it had been made available

    Based on the available "Adam" figs on ebay....it seems to indicate that the import taxes can be covered by the shipper/seller at the time of shipping.... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Kitz+Concept+pilot&_trksid=p4432023.m4084.l1312&_sacat=0 When you expand on the price details....there is a description from ebay that states.... ******"This item includes applicable import fees...you won't pay anything extra after shipping"********** So it seems maybe KC just doesn't want to cover the import tax for US buyers who purchased directly off their site?....pretty dissapointing...but I guess to them dissapointing the group that has already been waiting the longest is less of a risk than dissapointing what is probably their biggest US retailer.... *****actually, this message appears when browsing via the ebay app*********** The same auction viewed on the ebay website says "International shipment of items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges" Can't be certain which is accurate...if anyone here finds out, let us know...

    In short....there is a very high probability that it will have some sort of QC issue... Could be incorrectly installed parts, loose or broken parts, misaligned parts, parts that are hard to move....and other issues... Since you are ordering from BBTS, you can at minimum get another one....at best, walk away with a refund.... Which, in hindsight, means that ordering via BBTS was probably the best choice when it came to KC Macross toys... If you have some time, just go through the thread....there has been plenty posted about KC'S QC...
