  1. Does the text on the back of the case say something like "This game is what VISA is made for?" One of the best Guncon games right there.
  2. Hasbro needs to apologize for crappy alt modes.
  3. Yeesh, some of these new alt modes are just bad.
  4. Itagaki may be gone, but DOA still lives on:
  5. Pretty much, yep. I'd say they're right on par with the average HG Gundam kit. The big difference being a few optional parts for customization included with the 30MM kits.
  6. That EXM-000 looks very cool, it definitely has a different vibe than the rest of the line.
  7. Hopefully it doesn't end up looking so janky at the production line. The textured scarf, the ragged top, and the various nicks on the legs make the figure's weathering look contrived.
  8. I just got the latest update - the finish line is getting closer: "Good News! The Alus Edition Artbook has been approved for production - a massive 248 pages of Macross minutiae! And we are going to include the names of all the backers in the book!"
  9. Incidentally, there are 1/12 scale goblin sets out there that would go along well with my warrior and also the 30 Minutes Sisters line. The sun actually broke through the fog today, so I used the precious window of sunlight to take a couple of pics of my completed 30MM mech: I still have a grip of kits and parts, so I'm gonna put together a more generic/militaristic looking one next.
  10. If you saw this inconspicuous looking box in a store, I bet you wouldn't know it contained a Master Grade sized knockoff of a Real Grade God Gundam kit: From my brief inspection, it looks like the color pallete of the RG God Gundam was accurately copied and the plastic is of good quality. Looking forward to a good build session.
  11. My goodness, a manga based GitS anime AND a new Patlabor show. What year is it again?
  12. Yep, and apparently robots like to guzzle down tankards of ale: That's a very cool promotion. I would totally bring my kids there if the nearest Hobbytown was within striking distance. My fighter got a promotion to a Warrior from a cheap option kit: With some panel lining and a couple coats of matte finish, these 30MF kits look pretty dang cool. They're relatively cheaper than other build-a-figure kits and the line doesn't seem to be slowing down - I'll definitely be keeping an eye on them.
  13. I will get this for the Hot Rod figure. To make him feel the guilt.
  14. HOT GENERAL's 1/100 scale Kratos figure is coming soon: It's definitely GM based, a GM Type C maybe? I guess it could also pass as a White Dingo member from the Dreamcast Gundam game. Looks good, but those rifles have to go. They look way too much like real guns.
  15. Looks nice, looking forward to any new labor designs they may have in store.
  16. Thanks gents! And Bolt, in your quest for cool kits, also check out an offshoot of the 30MM line, the 30 Minutes Fantasy kits. Instead of mecha, 30MF kits use classes of fantasy characters like warriors, knights, and mages. I didn't pay much attention to them until I saw one on sale and bought it on a lark: This guy is whole head taller than the completed 30MM mech at around 6 inches, and would be in good company with the average 1/12 scale action figure. I had fun building this "Rosan Fighter", and it's given me good practice with panel lining. Gotta love the dad bod on this guy.
  17. Time for some necromancy. I've been recently gifted with a tall stack of 30mm kits; a friend is reducing his backlog and is in turn increasing mine. The 30mm line has been steadily growing for the past few years and some of the custom designs I've seen from the huge selection of available parts look outstanding. I opened up a couple of kits and started playing around with them: The head is from the Kotobukiya Modeling Goods line, and I still have to paint it. I had to do some mods to make it work though, Koto's heads attach differently than the stock 30mm heads. I totally dig this head, it looks like something from a 90's arcade game. I think I'm a 30mm fan now .
  18. That area is just rife with shops like that. For the past few Thanksgiving holidays, we've been visiting family over there and the Black Friday sales I run into always end up with me with a full loot bag - good times!
  19. Great show, I just can't get past one thing: Otherwise, I was riveted and I like how the main themes from the novel were kept intact.
