    It was and it wasn't a filler episode. The plot advanced but it was another side trip. They are going overboard with baby Yoda scenes. There can be too much cuteness. Which is typical of Star Wars.

    Thanks for eventually going back on topic.

    Mod Roy here. Just cleaned up a bunch of stuff. Maybe I remove too many posts. Maybe I didn't remove enough. Didn't have time to read and evaluate them all. We have a no politics rule here. It is one of the big rules. Please don't force us to close this topic or force us to take any further action. Please play nice.

    These toys are like Macross the First. Both have taken a break. Came back under a new label and restarted production reintroducing the things that have already been release. Then both went on an indefinite leave.

    I've got a non-spoiler complaint. The cameos and casting choices for the walk on roles. A character appears says a line or two and I'm taken out on the story because the actor doesn't really fit the Star Wars feel. Because the actor wasn't casted because they fit the part but because they're friend of the production or work behind the scenes.

    Customer Service helped fix my issue with some replacement parts. The peg that fits in the forearm is much thicker than the peg that fits in the hand. When fishing out the peg in the wrist ended up making forearm hole slightly larger. I selected 2 hands to be the life-time hands. I think I know what the problem is. The hand holes might be too small. Combined with fragile/small joint pegs. When testing the new range of motion I noticed the hands were no longer rotating at the hand peg. That hand hole/peg is too tight. Rotation was now happening in the forearm hole that became larger when I was fishing out the broken peg.

    I'll skip the GBP if it sold as set with a VF-1. The VF-1D is must have. Problem is I now work in the early morning. I will be asleep during pre-order.

    Starting to wonder if Mando might be force sensitive. My reasons? In multiple episodes from one scene to the next he's either killing someone that's barely a threat to him in cold blood or risking his life as favor to people that he doesn't know. Does he sense the good or evil in people's hearts or what?

    I feel the same way. When it comes to the subject of Macross I can talk about it all day even if episodes of are more than 20 years old. When the subject is something else my interest is more time limited. The time that I'm most interested in talking about an episode (of any show) is before the next episode airs. It is one thing to mention spoilers from a leak pirated copy before an official release date. If your favorite program new episode comes out every Thursday but you know that you won't be able to watch it till next Saturday then don't seek out the latest news on it.

    I'd like to do away with no spoilers. Once something airs on TV or in theaters it should be fair game. Don't want read spoilers? Don't look up reviews. The fun talking about the latest shows is sharing your thoughts and theories while it is all fresh. That's my non-official opinion.

    1 cm is just the first number I came up with when typing. I haven't mastered the metric system. Should have said that I just started to move her hand when it broke.

    This is not a joke but her other hand just broke off. I literally just picked her up and started to gently move her unbroken wrist. Barely moved it 1 cm when the whole wrist peg broke.

    Like I said these aren't action figures but pre-assembled models with limited articulation. I got one more of things models on pre-order. Once it comes I don't think I'll get another until I hear that they've improved construction. I'm worried for those getting the Dana figure. It's going for what $70? With I assume a bunch of changeable parts or accessories for the body armor all prone to breaking.

    Haven't contacted them yet. Not sure what can be done. Looking at seeing what kind of repair I can do. For those that haven't broke your figure yet. Pick out your favorite hands and stick with them for now until the end of time. I no longer consider these action figures. They are pre-assembled plastic models with limit articulation.

    Help! I was taking pictures of Misa/Lisa and was removing her right saluting hand and the tiny wrist peg broke off in the hand. I switched out hands on the peg about 4 times total since I got the figure. First time using that hand. It didn't feel like it was giving me any trouble. Is this even fixable?

    I'm not a big fan of their stands. Lisa/Misa fell off her stand in the display case. She's not broken but I can't find her laptop. Now I have to option to either wait and magically find it 6 months from now or remove every item out of the case and search for it today.

    My Lisa/Misa is suppose to be here today too by 8pm.

    Ooh! I've always wanted one of those... (checks listing) Robotech packaging that's an easy pass.
  21. Roy Focker
    Got my notice too. I wonder how long shipping will be with all the shipping delays in general.
  22. Roy Focker
    Nope I only need 1 version of Cobra Commander.

    Grey list? I think they're all black. They're refusing refund and instead giving store credit. Apply that credit on something else you'll be over paying since they over charge. Find something to order that's under the value of that credit they'll be keep the difference. Find something to order that's over the value of that credit and you're giving them even more money with no idea with they even send the new item out. Can't send the higher price item to you? They'll convert that extra money to more store credit. They'll come out making more money off you no matter what. Keeping your money makes them thieves. I'm amazed they didn't at least try to tell people that they're going to give extra store credit on top what they paid for the inconvenience. It is all part of customer retention. You give the customer a complimentary piece of pie for burning their steak. Sure the restaurant will be out for that piece of pie but they won't lose a customer who will tell all their friends. Right now I can't imagine anyone giving NY hundreds of dollars for any future preorders.

    It's cool but it just a high-tech display for 1 model. I wonder how much a non-electric hand crank version would cost? At $170 I just think that money could be used instead on just buying another Valkyrie. On the other hand I do think it would make a great gift choice for your friends and family who knows that you collect model/toy planes but don't know which plane to get you. It's a safe but impressive gift to give to a collectors that you know.

    I've been keeping all my boxes in a closet. Is the attic a safe space? You're not going to find a colony of baby spiders in those boxes a year from now? My attic crawl space is located in the garage. I'd need a 12ft ladder to reach it. I don't get NY business model. Stuff happens not getting correct orders or on time from a supplier can happen. No other business that I've ever dealt with passes their problems on to their customers.
