	You guys are too much fun. Sure did. I started with a foamcore base, and a few trashed vehicles... ...built the foundation of a burnt-out building... ...and added a couple N-gauge train accessory sets. Then I got some cheap gardening supplies: Crushed, mixed, and painted them up: Added some miniature steel beams: ...and trashed the place. Finally, I added a few surrounding buildings and set it up on my balcony. N gauge is 1:150 scale.

	Which box? Mine came in three. The shipping carton contains six sets... Each set has its own nondescript TWE box... ...and each box contains an inner package with images of the Valkyrie and accessories. Man, I sure wish I'd been alive back in your day. I grew up in the '80s, with Transformers, GI Joe, TMNT, and Centurions.

	Nice to finally have a complete DX Skull-001. It's really difficult to assume the iconic two-handed pose, however, because the armor on the arms is so long, it leaves no clearance for the micro-missile pods...

	  Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.tekering replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics I'm very happy with how well this week's acquisitions scale with my N-gauge city diorama... An epic showdown is imminent!

	X-Plus Gigantic Series Godzilla 2019 has stomped his way into my city diorama! Most expensive figure I've ever bought.

	Oh, his camouflage scheme looks more like a remedial art school project.

	Bandai knows what sells, I guess. While this will be much too big for an HM-R display, I'd get one anyway... even if you have no intention of building it. You can always sell it off if-and-when you decide you don't want it, and likely make a profit for your trouble.

	  The Mandalorian - Star Wars webseries from Jon Favreautekering replied to SMS007's topic in Anime or Science Fiction The same analogy can be applied to a host of recent sequels, reboots and spin-offs... and that's the real danger of appealing to nostalgia. You're treading on "holy ground" for many. That's usually the case with any show, of course, and yet some of them build up impossible expectations based on decades-old first impressions... leading to inevitable disappointment and fan backlash. Star Wars is likely the worst offender in this category... with Star Trek a close second.

	  Consolidated Megazone 23 Toy/Model Thread for 2017-2018tekering replied to RavenHawk's topic in Anime or Science Fiction Aside from the undersized Shogo figure (which is admittedly, a problem with every transformable Garland toy), the Arcadia is perfect. Can't wait for their Photo-Garland to ship!

	The figure's based on the Part III costume, so that was my poor attempt to homage the 3D gimmick. I placed lots of little LEDs to provide the appropriate lighting.

	Where's the pre-order?

	  Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.tekering replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics Just her, but the original four moto-slaves were identical, just color-coded for each of the four girls... so I'm painting one for each of the Atelier Sai hardsuit figures to ride.

	  The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Threadtekering replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction The Decepticons in Age of Extinction weren't Transformers at all, they were colonies of nanobots that could form any object at will. Your "primitive mind" understands the core concept of the brand much better than Michael Bay or Ehren Kruger ever will.

	But these aren't toys, and they aren't marketed to boys. Kitz Concept labels them as "collectibles," and they're sold to adult males, who typically prefer female characters... especially in Japan.

	  The Matrix Resurrections (What is The Matrix 4?)tekering replied to TangledThorns's topic in Anime or Science Fiction If this actually happens, it will be the first time in history that the fourth film of two successful franchises -- both starring the same actor -- are released on the same day.

	That's correct. JJ looked at everything they'd shot with Carrie but hadn't used back in 2015, and wrote new scenes around her dialogue to incorporate the footage into Episode 9.
