  1. Just reminiscing and revisiting some favorites:
  2. I was thinking it might be like one of those kits from RC Berg than can easily hit three figures. A 1/120 scale prepainted figure at $150 still seems kinda steep, I'm hoping Good Smile/Freeing makes a Ragnarok aside from the Albatross and Cerberus.
  3. I like the Ragnarok, but it's being listed at around $150 at 1/120 scale. Kinda steep, and I still don't know if it's a kit or a pre-assembled figure.
  4. That's good to hear, I'll do some browsing and give it a shot. The redesign is very cool, like anime52k8 said, it's so far removed from the original MS it was based on.
  5. Anyone else getting this? Supposedly, it's Zero Gravity's version of the Forbidden Gundam, and it builds like Bandai's Hi Resolution kits. I just thought it was instantly cool because it's in Nu colors and wields a scythe.
  6. Ha, apparently there was a comic released too! Clearly who ever made this commercial knew how to use mecha anime tropes. I was even more impressed when I learned that Spike Spiegel's voice actor was in there. And for the record, I would make the trek to a Del Taco over Taco Bell anytime 🙂.
  7. I like their Nacho Fries too, but this is just another level:
  8. Cyberpunk 2077 not enough to scratch the cyber itch? Hopefully the small team working on this game doesn't get squashed by lawsuits:
  9. I'm having more fun than I thought with Google's latest "doodle"- an homage to the Olympics and 16-bit games:
  10. He's sprinkling in some horror with sci-fi now:
  11. Gametoys' Sephiroth is making me consider getting back into 1/6 scale figures:
  12. Finally! All the way from the Suez Canal to my porch came the beast itself: At least that's where I'm guessing it got stuck at because it took way too long to get here-even by SAL shipping standards. Can't wait for some time off to play with it!
  13. Here I was thinking #100 would be another Mazinger.
  14. Cool, I bet if I put it next to my old 1/35 armor collection it wouldn't look too much out of place. After looking at this model more thoroughly, I'm gonna add more pieces to reinforce the hull, and I'm still looking for a sorely needed minifig crew. And maybe an in-scale lego Humvee is now in order...
  15. The kit is from Armorbrick out of Russia. In general, their kits are cheaper than Brickmania's, but still pricey.
  16. This build was quicker than I thought. And a fun one at that. If I had to guess, the tank is probably a little larger than 1/35 scale at around 11 inches long. The instructions were clear and there were no missing pieces. The treads roll freely, but will only do so on a soft surface like carpet. The hull is fairly solid save for the sloped front area panels which are on hinges. The main turret can be finnicky to grasp due to the rear rack being made of rods each being held on to one point that can easily pivot. Unfortunately, the turret cannot cleanly rotate a full 360 degrees since its front part cannot clear the rear upward slope on the hull. What is not displayed on the box are two custom heavy machine guns that can be mounted on the turret. I've only mounted one as the other needs a differently oriented type of plate. No minifig crew is provided, but the two opening hatches on the turret may be able to fit one minifig. BM's latest Abrams model looks like it has similar dimensions to this one, but the treads look narrower.
  17. A lockdown impulse buy finally arrived: The kit comes from Russia and took a solid month to arrive on my porch. It's a rather handsome looking Abrams, so I gave this company a try. I'll post some pics upon completion.
