    And, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... here comes episode 9. Far beyond mere scripting issues, this was disjointed, poorly edited and badly directed. I wasn't really expecting it to get better, but I didn't think it was going to get this bad... I actually have higher expectations for Discovery season 3 at this point. Mind you, that Sutra chick was HAWT.

    I did! In related news, I also picked up this event-exclusive: Isn't he Mandadorable?

    That's weird. They expect those to sell? That's insane. They can't possibly expect those to sell.

    If only they'd at least added seatbelts... Poor George didn't even have body armor!

    Absolutely. "The Beginning" was better than The Phantom Menace, and "The Director and the Jedi" was much better than The Last Jedi.

    The "Furai" IDW Optimus Prime model kit is 16cm when assembled... aka Voyager-scale.

    I highly recommend 'em.

    Oh, I love the "Solid Essence Collection." How delightfully retro.

    Hey, c'mon... If it weren't for Robotech, this forum probably wouldn't even exist... and if it weren't for the ideal version of Macross that only exists in our heads, we probably wouldn't spend so much time and money trying to chase it. Rose-colored nostalgia fuels most of our toy purchases, be it Transformers, Star Wars, or Robotech Macross and Mospeada.

    Hi-Metal R

    One of mine has a defective knee joint, rendering the articulation moot. It's so floppy, it barely supports its own weight... I never even bothered to pre-order one, but since they're 30% off on Amazon now, I bought one last week... It's sexy as hell.

    What's "The Tape Corps?" Are those just Masterpiece knock-offs?

    Yeah, I'm watching it now. So far, the story is as stupid as I remember it being... ...although Hux's sudden reveal that "there was another transport in the desert" (carrying Chewie) doesn't seem like such a cheat, now that I see it was visible in a quick establishing shot. Okay, J.J. I'll give you that one.

    I really hope this Echo "buisness" is finished now... the Bad Batch have gotten a little tiresome after four episodes in a row. Hoping for a new setting with different characters next week.

    In Brofessor's defense, I think this is an apt analogy. Just look at Facebook; among the myriad Robotech fan groups is one specifically for The Masters War (which is mostly fan art of Southern Cross characters and mecha). It has 1400 members. FOURTEEN HUNDRED.

    Oh, so right back to the Comico days. It's the end of the circle.

    What the hell...? Who approved that fat-ass EVA? It looks like a fanboy wearing a costume!

    I knew it. I knew it! The release has been delayed AGAIN.
  18. tekering
    Ya. Fair enough. I should probably just stay out of this thread.

    Macek used to claim that Harmony Gold had the rights to Orguss as well, but just couldn't come up with a way to incorporate it into the Robotech concept (primarily because of the Emaan's problematic antennae).

    17.5cm, according to BBTS... which would make it about 1:450 scale.

    I spent over $1300 on Blueberry Crabs -- just to ensure they'd get produced, mind you -- and multiple Kings as well, but I got stalled trying to source appropriately strong joints to articulate the Kings (I want action figures, not static models!), and... other projects have since occupied my attention. Oh, I much prefer the Helper Crab. Those ball-joints solve all sorts of problems. This one's from @duckmodelkits in Chile.

    I love the flickering orange lights on the console... Looks like a smoldering furnace under there. I can practically feel the heat!
  23. tekering
    Way ahead of you, buddy.

    The crabs are back! Contact Moscato Hobby Models on Facebook (or Return 2 Kit Form for overseas customers).

    Over the last twenty years, the prequel trilogy (and spin-offs like The Clone Wars) have metastasized into Star Wars canon, so fans don't question it any more... but your point still stands. As much as Rian Johnson shat on the legacy of Luke Skywalker, Lucas himself did far worse to Darth Vader. But hey, at least the toys and models were cool.
