    Anyone know why Show-Z still doesn’t have MS-02 in stock? They usually have things quick but everyone seems to be reviewing/receiving theirs and ShowZ is still preorder status. Did they sell their initial stock or something and I just missed it. Just seems odd. Chris

    Ugh Kenobi, what a waste of my favorite character. There are some descent moments in the show. And a couple really good ones. But over all from the effects, cinematography, tothe HORRIBLE soundtrack, Kenobi was just terrible for me. Tiny Leia just got really annoying to me and making her the focus for Obi-Wan creates more problems to the lore. But hey gotta make her more important to please KK. Also, how no one can catch up to Leia in every chase is beyond stupid. I really tried to like the show and desperately wanted to but apart from a few scenes that are really good Vader in the town and Vaders chat with Kenobi at the end, the show was just barely mediocre at best and head-scratchingly ridiculous most of the time. Sorry just my 2 cents, I really just needed to vent that lol Chris

    I would’ve loved to have that Airwolf! Chris

    I’ve been really enjoying Stallone’s ‘Tulsa King’ on Paramount. Just 5 episodes available so far. Chris

    That was actually the B-2’s original configuration. After it was finalized and worked out by Northrop the Air Force changed it’s requirements for the B-2’s mission. IIRC it now need to be more low level…so where the air is thicker it needed a different shape to optimize performance. Costing a lot of money to redesign the wing to optimize performance again and work out all the “kinks” Chris

    Am I missing something, isn’t this display only? Meaning this is not coming out? Chris

    I am so freaking tempted to get that new Eiffel Tower. It just looks so awesome…. It I have no where to put it. maybe later this year…. Chris

    That looks great William! I’ve been tempted to try Vonado or one of the others as I really want a B5 Omega class destroyer, but I keep chickening out as I don’t trust those Chinese bootleg stores.🤷🏻‍♂️ Chris

    Man I lost my access to this show just before the BIG (I’m guessing escape) episode a couple weeks ago. It’s killing me not getting to watch and keep up with things. Been avoiding spoilers this far. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up soon. Chris

    Yeah, I was going to say the same….and even with the custom molds for the COBI I still think the Brickveteran Corsair looks a lot better. The COBI one looks like a Playmobile toy to me. To each their own though 🤷🏻‍♂️ Chris

    Peripheral is fantastic Chris

    WOW! I’ve always had a thing for the Eiffel Tower and that looks beautiful. But holy crap is that thing massive. I think LEGO is going a bit overboard on the sizes of some of these sets now. As much as I’d like that there’s just no way I could find anywhere to put it. Chris

    Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound like I was accusing you either. Just meant it as a generalization.

    The P-63 has notoriously bad visibility. A retired USAF fighter pilot summed it up well with what he believes happened. The P-63 was following his lead ahead and to his left. Since he is in a good left bank and likely watching his lead fighter (that could be seen flying by ahead of the B-17 in some of the available videos) the P-63 could not see the B-17 at all. Still there is some form of failure in planning or controlling the flyby’s as they shouldn’t have been this close in the first place. IMO a lack of situation and spatial awareness. Just wanted to point this out as many think the P-63 just flew right into the bomber without looking, when it was actually in a total blind spot from very early on in it’s turn. Chris

    You win Meme Monday! Love it. Chris

    Yeah, too bad it doesn’t have flaps down for when the wings are folded. I was a total sucker though. One I first went to the page it said 9 available and when I checked back a couple hours later it was down to 4 and they got me. Lol Chris
  18. Dobber
    Oh man the Brickveteran Corsair looks so nice…I couldn’t resist and pulled the trigger on one. There were only 4 left and didn’t want to miss out. Chris

    Another solid episode for me, though I was surprised nothing big happened. Usually the 3rd episode of each 3 episode block seemed to be the action episode. I wonder if they are saving for something special in the last 3 episodes…more than just the prison break. Man I really love this show. Too bad it seems to be getting overlooked. Chris

    So I just remembered that TMP actually established this already…what impulse speed is like. When Enterprise leaves dry dock it is using thrusters. Once she is departed the dock and is leaving orbit, Scotty informs the bridge that impulse power is available and Kirk tells Sulu to engage impulse engines ahead warp factor .5. The engines light up and Kirk orders departure view and Earth is falling into the distance very quickly. At 2:20 TWoK and TSfS started using that ahead 1/4 impulse power as an initial speed and it being really slow. TUC kind of changed it back were it should be. I love this redux. I too want to see more. Chris

    It is isn’t it! Glad you’re liking it too. Chris
  22. Dobber
    Fair point 😮 so with that said we have to give it some time to accelerate from stationary/station keeping to 1/4 impulse. Maybe that covers the discrepancy. Chris
  23. Dobber
    I…..I REALLY liked that…A LOT. I loved how they clearly Demonstrated how fast impulse power is, may just a tad much as it was only 1/4 but still fantastic! Chris
  24. Dobber
    Well said. Chris

    I originally posted this in the wrong thread so here you go. Just watched the first 2 episodes of The Peripheral. I really like it and am looking forward to next weeks episode. First 2 are out today on Amazon with new episodes every Friday.
