  1. I've waited so long, it's like I no longer care/need it now that it's finally here. If the normal version ends up being over-produced/going on sale, I'll pick one up. But not at 300+ shipping from Japan. (which, will likely be very expensive for a very long time)
  2. I've been tempted by the Su-24, it's a cool/unique plane. (never actually seen one though). Ironically the latest Ukrainian release looks the best so far. I may end up with a mostly Ukrainian collection of "Russian" planes. (My only Flanker sighting was in Ukrainian camo, though no longer owned by Ukraine at that point). Would love a model of it:
  3. Found wave 1 at my local Target. No tags for Cobra Island etc. Picked up Snake Eyes, my first Classified figure. ::edit:: Sword is ridiculously soft and rubbery, desperately need a hard plastic replacement so it doesn't droop. Also, IMHO, the guns look worse in person. Need authentic uzi or MAC-10 etc. Would definitely buy a modern "battle pack" if it had real weapons and not sci-fi:
  4. I think I had that on DVD, I know I've seen it. I just looked and I don't currently have a copy, I'd have sent it to you.
  5. New good Baroness pics: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheFullForce/status/1290264977748574209
  6. I like it. I think a lot of ISD models "over-do it". The Empire seems to have kept them pretty clean. There's a difference between "accentuating detail" and "making it look dirty"----far too many ISD's end up the latter, IMHO.
  7. The coloring is REALLY good for a "weathered, mass-produced F-14". If only Hasbro's "Maverick" toy looked 1/10 as good...
  8. I think this is Classified Storm Shadow:
  9. Considering how budget-constrained (ironically?) flight-hours and upgrades etc are, an enhanced engine on an old, flight-display-only Super Hornet seems kind of a waste. They're already stripped down, and fly with small fuel loads. They should have "enough" performance as-is.
  10. Or the short version: The wings split top/bottom, so that you can stuff all the tailfins inside them, for a fin-less bot-mode.
  11. Cargo transporters operate at a lower "resolution", than stuff intended for life-forms. I believe it is "quantum" vs "molecular" resolution. Since you need "quantum" level, to preserve all the "fine details" of the mind, you need to have Heisenberg compensators etc. But "low-res" cargo can omit much of that, and operate at far lower power requirements, since if it's only 99.99999% accurate, that's fine for most matter. (at which point, a cargo transporter, and a replicator, are pretty similar tech....)
  12. The single-piece legs are the most annoying part of the dinos. Seems at odds with the rest of the line.
  13. I'd much rather see a re-done Trypticon. (really, they kinda doubled down on the goofier aspects IMHO, it could have been done so much cooler/better I think)
  14. Lego promo pics never show grey accurately, and is likely intentional. While "Lego dark grey" is a bit on the cool side, promo pics tend to exaggerate it to look less bland/more blue-colorful. Promo pics of light grey, will have tons of lens flare and brightness, to make it look "silvery".
  15. Yeah, the half-dozen Sovereigns may have given them an initial pause, but when the Runabouts showed up a few seconds later, THAT's the when Romulans knew they had no chance...
  16. Yeah, this trailer looks MUCH better than the first. I expect it could be overall better than Bogus Journey. (because it has death, but seemingly nothing else from that one)
  17. Anyone heard anything about a PAK-FA in the movie? Walmart had several toys, but these two caught my eye:
  18. It's just that a stego's plates are THE defining feature. It'd be like having a short-necked brachio... You can mess with/stylize a lot of things----just not THAT thing.
