    Maybe it will fit in the Detolf with the barrels removed. Hey you can display it on top of the Detolf!

    So they're finally doing KOs? I own 2 KO MP Transformers and 2 Real ones. The KO are around 80% as good. I think people theorize about bootleg factories. My theory is toys that don't pass inspection are discarded. Workers collect a 2 or 3 discarded ones. Take them apart and make 1 "good" looking toy out of them. A $35 Regult might look correct but could have super flopping legs. The other possibly is they're showing Bandai pictures but going to send you Toynami instead.

    This is the last heavyweight import I'm buying for a long time. Shipping is killing collecting.
  6. Never read the story but read summaries of it online before. I also watched clips of this movie on You tube. I don't really understand things. It is an origin story of the Joker. He had a very bad day it drove him crazy. He now wants to make a point by proving to the world that anyone can lose their mind by having a really bad day. Gordon is test subject. He puts him through hell but Gordon doesn't break. Batman captures the Joker unharmed. Offers to help him and laughs that the Joker's joke. Huh? WTF doesn't he just kill the Joker already? Maybe an execution style murder would be hard for him to do but if Batman fought with deadly force the Joker would already be dead. I'm not buying this whole the Joker vs Batman is really a conflict about ideology. If Batman kills the Joker then the Joker wins. Okay kill the Joker and let him win. Better to let him have the last laugh then to have him keep murdering or disabling your side kicks and innocent people.

    I was afraid it would cost this much. Months ago I knew it was beyond the range of my usual toy budget. I would only get it if I could sale around $300 worth of old toys. I estimated that's as high it could cost with shipping. Within a month I sold $300 worth of old toys. Turns out that's how much I needed. Pay Pal balance is less than $20 now. Even though I'm not losing any new money it still hurts to see that much disappear at once.

    Now we need a Kamjin figure to ride up top of it.
  11. Interesting it looks like a Star Fleet & Klingon hybrid design. Too bad the cgi looks horrible.
  12. I think that's from 2014. Looks good though
  13. Neutral vote. I liked most of the character development stuff.

    So afraid to see shipping costs on this one.
  15. Looks like it is based off of the comic designs. I don't see the actor's likeness.
  16. I bet you they're going to stretch this out even longer. First episodes of the new season will be about the characters who weren't there and what they were doing. Then there will be an flashback episode about Nagen's past. We'll eventually see an episode after the fact where they'll show at least half of the potential victims still alive. In that episode everyone is still dealing with what happened. But then in the next episode after that we see that the other half of the potential victims are still alive as well? What's going on - Surprise it is just Rick hallucinating again like after his wife was killed off. One of them is dead but Rick is still imagining that they are still alive and part of the group. Eventually they'll tell us who got killed by the mid season break.
  17. Have to agree with most of this. There's too many characters or too many supporting characters. Sometimes it isn't clear even who the main characters are. The show often feels like it is 3 shows playing at once. Reason for that is because they're trying to make a show for multiple audiences. They have to add stuff for the old school fans. They have to add stuff for the new fans that discovered it through Frontier. They have to add stuff for fans of current anime. They also have to add something for Kawamori. Many of the different Macross series seem to reflect whatever is of interest to Kawamori at the moment. When you try to put all these things together it sometimes doesn't work. I'm okay with less mecha action if the story doesn't require it. I do feel like they are being cheap with the mecha scenes. For a property known for transforming robots and great action scenes this series has very few. I think a lot has to do with the budget. You know what scenes beside mecha fights have a lot of stuff going on in them? The animated musical numbers. I doubt they are going to hire twice as many animators. They have to decide where to spend their resources. Unfortunately we get lower quality animation in some scenes or episodes. It was like this with the first series. Frontier did an excellent job with keeping the animation quality up. I recall only 1 or 2 episodes where the quality was below expectations.
  18. Neutral. The major flaw of this episode was the animation quality. I think most of the budget for this show goes towards the music.

    Hey what about that Lazerbond stuff from that commercial? They say it works on metal.

    What about rubbery materials so the pilot could squeeze in?

    The one in the Glaug is too small.

    Yes it is a great toy line. Maybe the bigger scale VS are better but as an overall toy line this one has everything we've ever asked for.
