    Hi-Metal R

    Yes! Now just give me the last 2 Destroids for 2018 and I'll consider this a great year to have been alive.
  2. Pretty sure this was inspired by that "Sweep the leg" music video from years back that featured a Johnny who fell on hard times.
  3. Cool you've found out the truth that Roy....er....I was the one who killed him. At least I think that's me. Not the best drawing going on here. Of course you're all going to find out that Edwards used CGI to frame me for a crime he committed.
  4. Visited my local store. It wasn't on the list of stores to close first. More people visiting than normal. Nothing on sale. Just the same sad store with pegs only half full of unsold product that came out over a year ago. Same old same old. They've been on the decline for well over a decade.
  5. It is strange seeing actual teenagers playing teenagers. I was expecting them to be played by 20 to 30 year old adults again.
  6. Good ending for a cartoon but doesn't make sense if it is part of Star Wars as a whole. 1. Was nice to team them up with all their allies from the past. I too think more character's should die as the first step of Ezra plan was risky one that could easily lead to some rebels getting killed. 2. So our heroes committed mass murder? Blowing up fully crewed Death Stars is one thing. Those are weapons of mass destruction. If Luke had to fire or Yavin would be destroyed. In this cartoon the heroes trapped all the Imperials in one place and then blew them up? It looked they were capable of kicking them off the planet. 3. Why is the Emperor still so confident in his dealing with Luke Skywalker when he failed to best Ezra? You'd think he remember that time one a couple years ago when he was bested by that other teenager. 4. Why do they need "hope" and the think of the Jedi like a myth in Rogue One and Episode IV? Don't they remember that time last year when Rebels on liberated their planet against incredible odds and had all those adventures with light saber carrying force users? Did Ezra's gang heroics fail to inspire anyone outside of that one planet?

    Macross figures

    They took away the arm articulation.
  8. It just reminded of episodes like this.
  9. Yawn haven't watched this show in long time. Mystical vision quest episodes are boring in every single TV show they appear in. Character enter a dream like world where they are visited by a creature that doesn't speak and so the Character spend the rest of the episode walking around trying to discover the answer. Last time I watched this show the same thing was happening. Stop watching after that. Only started to watch again recently once I heard the series was wrapping up.

    Hi-Metal R

    My VE-1 is arriving today! I'll be leaving the house at noon so it better come before then.

    A couple of times I got SAL within 10 days. I have problems paying extras like EMS and even next day domestic shipping because no matter what fast shipping you pay for there's always a chance that the online store will just get behind in sending out packages. What good is fast shipping when someone takes a week just to get a package out the door.

    After 15 days my VE-1 has finally arrived in country.
  13. 2 really grown ass men in their fifties holding on to a 30+ year old grudge doesn't make an exciting conflict. It just looks sad.

    2 weeks later and my VE-1 is still listed as being in Japan. Cleared Japan's office of the exchange on the 5th and that's the last reported status.

    Got my shipping notice now I wait 10 to 30 days.
  16. Yes that first scene between them (the first scene of the movie) was just so off. Just so modern in the humor. Like it was unused dialog from any of last year's Marvel films. There's always humor in Star Wars but it never takes you out of the universe - okay maybe the Diner scene from Episode II did that. To be fair that wasn't the first scene of the movie.

    Just paid Ami Ami. And now I have zero pending Hi-Metal R preorders. Come on and announce the next preorder.

    Hi-Metal R

    I haven't got a payment notice from Ami Ami about my Elinsteeker. Checked and status says not even in stock.

    Hi-Metal R

    My original solo issued Regult didn't have loose knee joints. It still doesn't have them. That's because I don't handle the toy that often and when I do I treat it like an expensive imported collectable. Over the course of a few years of even with careful handling they'll eventually get loose. That type of wear and tear over time is too be expected. You don't expect to find this upfront out of the package. This is a QC issue.

    Hi-Metal R

    Well my Regults arrived here last Friday but I wasn't home and wasn't able to pick them from the post office until today. One of them has a problem. It's knee joint is loose and doesn't want to standup. If the stance isn't perfect the pod starts dragging down.

    Last night the status of my Regult was that they moved them to another distribution center that would have meant a few more days of domestic travel. Well that information must have been wrong or they decided to express mail it over night instead of moving it by truck. A delivery was attempted today. During the time I decided to leave the house.

    My Regult set cleared US customs.
  23. If Luke cut himself off from the force during his self imposed exile how is he able to do his pole vault fishing without falling to his death? When I first saw the scene I thought that's how a Jedi Master would do things but if he's not trying to use the force how can he physically do that?
