    Hi-Metal R

    Wait is this a double set of both Me and the scout sold together? I want the scout but I've already got me.
  2. The whole current trilogy negates the entire original trilogy. The Empire wasn't defeated - it was reborn, The Emperor wasn't killed - he was reborn, The Jedi didn't return - they were nearly wiped out by one of their own. You thought the heroes of Yavin were actually heroes and role models who saved the galaxy and had a happy ending? Ha! 30 years later those losers failed us all. Now that I think about it we're going to have another trilogy a decade from now that explains how the ghost of the ghost of the emperor is still alive and everything Rey did to save the galaxy back then was pretty pointless.
  3. I did the same thing. I agree as well. I could never understand the whole X was for kids argument. We all know the children programming aimed at preschoolers is made for kids. Cartoons are made for kids. Then you have things the cartoons and live action kid shows with those jokes for the adults. Star Wars was inspired by the old Saturday matinee serials that kids use to watch. Yet the finished product doesn't look 100% aimed at preschoolers. Teens and adults can get more out of it than a 5 year old. You'd have to remove everything that was too complicated for them to understand for it to be made for kids. I've considered it family entertainment for all ages. Everyone gets to enjoy something out of it. That's the true balance of the force.
  4. Wow! This new Max makes Max's 1/60 like a piece of cat poop. Maybe that's too harsh. The 1/60 just looks odd now in battroid mode. Oh and DHL delivered it to the wrong address. A senior citizen couple that lives next door.
  5. Okay I'm not weak. I didn't buy this after saying I would skip Max. As you can clearly see my cat is the one who bought it.
  6. There actually was a SE and Baroness feud. In the comics the Baroness thought SE killed her brother in Vietnam and it led her to a life of international terrorism. In the comics everyone's origin story is connected to SE.
  7. Okay after seeing those pics I have no regrets over paying for that preorder now.

    Hi-Metal R

    We waited all this time for a non-canonical repaint. Here's to a toy that sure to be safe from preorder madness.
  9. I started this topic and I say that the Yamato 1/48 VF-1 still looks good in fighter mode. If you want a VF-1 in this scale to display in other modes get a DX.
  10. I skipped Max's preorder night. I picked up Hikaru's VF-1J weeks after the release at a moderate markup. Just so I could have at least one example from the new line. Even though I was very impressed with the toy I'm not a fan of that Max variant. His price is still good but I have already over paid on a Hikaru VF-1S preorder. My preference is Roy's but I expect that preorder madness to be even worst than Hikaru's. If I can't get Roy's at least I got Hikaru's. If I have to over pay for some of these toys it will means I'm going to skip getting some of the others ones like Max's 1A.

    Edwards!
  12. Sounds like they tried to make amends with a 2nd offer but the damage was done and Mari declined. This is from a recent Facebook post from her. It pretty much sounds like she's done with this con.
  13. From my understanding you pay for different grades of QC. The same factories make goods for multiple companies. A major brand with a rep for quality is going to pay for extra QC and will have their own rep on site while very small operation doesn't.
  14. Well here he is. Besides being too tall his portions are way off. Very long skinny limbs and torso would fit better for a character known for having such a body type like Roy...er...me. Yeah like me. As I said before they are likely going with a universal body to save on costs on later releases. The helmet does seem undersized. It is kinda fun trying different faces and guns. All the joints seem on the fragile side. I would take care and pose them slowly. With all the joints being white it is hard to see if you're bending them in the right direction. Even with his odd proportions he's still a fun display piece to have. Last but not least he has a soft crotch. I guess that's to put less stress on and to allow greater movement at the hips. I just had ends things on a soft crotch.
  15. ETA within 3 hours.
  16. I think Rick is on tall side because they're going to re-use his body for Ben, Max & Roy. Just like I'm sure Lisa's body will be used for all the bridge operators.
  17. My eta is Friday. Provided they send it to my new address.
  18. I've moved since I placed my pre-order. I later contacted Kitz Concept and they asked me for my new address. The automated email I got today from PayPal still list my old address. I'm crossing my fingers that it is being shipped to my current address.
  19. Now Sharing the 26th Set Preview (September Release) Minmay & Myung is the subject of next Macross related cosplay set. It will be release in September on the Patreon Page by Clicking Here. More sample pictures from this set and from others can be found on Instagram @superdimensionfoto
  20. It just showed up in my feed. This is fan convention so making mistakes is understandable. But it still doesn't look good.
  21. I remember seeing rumors years ago on other message boards. They were mostly hearsay from someone that had a friend who saw him at a convention. At the same time there were people who praised him. We have since learned about claims of unwanted behavior from his very peers. These claims aren't rumors traded on the Internet. Here we have his fellow Voice Actors of worked with or attended conventions with him. When his peers start speaking up you have to think maybe there's more to this than just rumors. I'm now shutting down this topic.
  22. Yeah but the MSRP could triple in price if this becomes a preorder madness item.
  23. A new series makes sense. After all there's only 4 featured ride armor in the actual series. They've got to invent new excuses to make and sell toys.
  24. Q "I can make you young again Jean-luc with the snap of my fingers" Picard "Don't!" Snaps fingers. Insert Professor X footage from X-Men Origins.
  25. Wasn't there already a live action movie made in Japan only a few years ago,
