  1. Finally got around to seeing the movie. I guess I’m in the minority as I really liked it. Enjoyed it FAR more than TLJ. Solo wasn’t a perfect movie by any means but I had a great time. also that Kylo REN Review is priceless! Lol Chris
  2. Like those designs too except the Sword of Omens. Really dislike that take on it. NOTHING beats the original sword of Omens design. Chris
  3. Once again they decide to make a movie that few want or asked for. Still waiting, like many, for an Obi-Wan movie. Chris
  4. I prefer to think of Discovery as a visual reboot. As in all events are the same but ANYTHING we SEE onscreen, whether it is TOS, Movies, or any other series, is just a visual interpretation of in universe events, from the time it was produced. Makes things much easier to take. Could the production tried to make things look more like TOS....sure. But people that want everything to look just like it did in TOS (made in the 1960’s) is just silly IMO. Chris
  5. On episode 5 now, I’m really liking this show. The first 2 episodes got me to sign up for the free trial so I can binge the whole season. This show is a pleasant surprise. Chris
  6. Regretting cancelling my pre-orders...personal issues...now they can’t be found anywhere without the rediculous mark ups. Can’t help but feel money is being left on the table by these companies when preorders sell out and there is still a demand for these items. I don’t get why money is invested to make these figures and then it’s a “one and done” production run never to be had again. Chris

    Hi-Metal R

    I had the same issue....along with a really loose connection to the peg under the wings when trying secure fighter mode. The legs keep popping off and drooping. I just gave up put it back into battroid and the box. First release I’ve been disappointed with. Chris
  8. Ron Howard reprising his narrator role! Lol
  9. Sorry for such a noob question, but if one wanted to give Gundam a try what show’s should I watch or avoid and in what order? Appreciate any help. I see several series are on Hulu and I have Netflix and Funimation too. I read that Gundam The origin is a good one. Chris
  10. Everyone has their own thoughts and opinions on what could’ve been done. What I thought would’ve been cool and slightly different would have been a “reverse” to the forming of the rebellion/Republic with lawlessness and injustice being far too prevalent in the New Republic. Things like Piracy are rampant and government bureaucracy limit and/or prevent anything from being done. When the Imperial Remnant now called The First Order approach the New Republic senate and demonstrate how their “FIRM” approach to governing and justice....(maybe showing how the squash a vicious pirate ring or eliminate some form of organized crime on a planet)....starts to sway some systems to want to join them. Make our heroes have to prove there is more to the FO than what they are showing, that they are hiding something. Mix in some aspects of trying to re-establish the Jedi Order and maybe the FO trying to get their hands on Jedi artifacts and you have a pretty good story outline I think. A little different but with familiar aspects that could make everyone happy. It could even give the audience something to think about and possibly even side with the FO when you see what is being allowed to happen in the overly bureaucratic New Republic. I agree with most of the complaints against Ep 8. It is the only SW movie I don’t own and don’t plan it either. There is definitely things to like about it, but SO much to not like that I just can’t get past it. The things mentioned above being some of the most obvious. Chris
  11. YUUUUP! Or an SSD in scale with their little SD Chris EDIT: For those that don’t bother looking back at recent previous page posts Bandai OFFICIALLY announced the 1/72 B-Wing coming in August. http://bandai-hobby.net/item/2346/
  12. Bandai 1/72 B-Wing is OFFICIALLY announced! Coming in August! Plenty of pictures here: http://bandai-hobby.net/item/2346/ Chris
  13. Crap missed my chance to order Rey. Chris
  14. Semper Fi Gunny OORAH! Chris
  15. Awesome news!! I’ve been watching the 2199 dubs on Funimation, looking forward to finally seeing 2202. Chris
  16. They are in the book though...along with Voltron and MANY others. There was simply no way to put them all in with licensing issues. Too bad, too. Chris
  17. I cancelled my pre-orders with BBTS a few months ago due to financial issues. I now think I can get one but they seem to be sold out everywhere. Any idea if these will be available after release? Chris
  18. Completely forgot about this and then I saw it was paid for at HLJ. It’s safely waiting in my PW. Chris

    Hi-Metal R

    Yup, all things I as referring to as well. Some of the dimensional differences are understandable as it is a stylized hand drawn piece of art. But the detail differences are quite extensive. Chris

    Hi-Metal R

    I never noticed how different the VE-1 is, as seen on screen, compaired to all the toys/models/and even line art. The leg fast packs look different, the lower sensor mast is different, no antenna on the sides of the booster packs...which themselves look different too. The left wing appears to have an antenna coming off of the end and the Radom are looks different too. Chris
