  1. 1/1000 Dreadnought coming in June http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/10457024 Unfortunately, it has electronics too, so there will be some extra cost involved. Though, the ship is much smaller than Andromeda so hopefully the price won't be too bad.
  2. Yeah Dave Filloni says it is...but that doesn't make it official yet.....I hope it becomes official as I'm cool with that Retcon. Chris
  3. Obi-wan is just so much further into the Force now than Maul is. While Maul just keeps spinning his wheels in his same muck, it seems Kenobi has just moved to the next level. He basically said as much to him when Maul commented "Look what you've become, an old desert rat" and Obi-wan simply responds "Look what I've avoided." Mauls face was priceless after that remark. I really think Obi-Wan had no intention of fighting Maul, but as was stated, after Maul deduced he was protecting someone, Kenobi basically decided this man has to die. The stare down between the 2 led me to think the 2 masters where playing out the fight in their heads, like chess-masters, before the fist move was taken. I also really liked how he started with his McGregor stance and then transitioned into the more Guinness stance. To me it looked like he then settled into a Qui-Gon pose...perhaps laying a trap for Maul. Judging how Maul tried the same trick he used on Qui-Gon, it seemed as though it worked. Man we need an Obi-Wan standalone movie. There is a novel that came out just before Disney purged the expanded universe titled Kenobi that would be the PERFECT foundation for a Kenobi movie. It was tragic showing his struggle early on in his banishment. So much can be done with him on Tatooine.
  4. I absolutely LOVED the fight. It seemed more "real" to me, like this is how masters would really through down. Also did you notice that Maul tried to use the same move on Kenobi that he used to kill Qui-Gon. The production team pointed that out in an interview on the Star Wars show. Don't get me wrong, I like big fight sequences too, but something that takes like 3 moves seemed very appropriate to me. Chris
  5. True, like you said it just needs to be used in the correct context. To say : "Please come in Major" or "take the shot Major" is proper and correct, but when addressing herself or identifying her as just Major like: "who is that?" "that is Major" or "I am Major" like they are is just weird.
  6. Yeah, it's just how they are using it. It's not used as a Rank but more as a name. It's just odd how they are saying it. Like in the one trailer when she checks in on the comms she says "this is Major" not "this is the Major" It just bugs me is all, because it sounds weird. Chris
  7. Why are they calling her Major instead of The Major? I don't remember them doing that in the Anime. Was that how they used it in one of the show's or Manga? Chris
  8. When I hear her pronounce her name it sounds like Gah-doht
  9. Ahh Deadpool, you can't return to us quick enough. Chris
  10. I'm still going to get some collectibles, like Models ect. as I'm not boycotting the show or anything. I'm just not wasting my money on disks I won't be able to understand. Chris
  11. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. This sounds a lot like Robocop now, instead of a more societal practice. Chris
  12. I'm confused, it seems like your saying you agree with him but then say you don't. CosmoDNA seems like he is trying have it both ways. Condemning people for not buying saying they are working against the show, but then saying our market doesn't matter to Bandai and we are owed nothing. Which is it? If we don't matter how are we hurting them? Also, he's saying how it use to be this way for Anime fans (like someone pointed out above) and how it has paved the way for modern releases, but then saying this is no different than how it USED to be. How is anything paved ahead if nothing changes for the better? Sounds like it is a big step backwards if things are going back to how they use to be. As anime fans we shouldn't be ok with this. Also anime didn't cost nearly as much back then as what these BluRay discs cost. I do agree that, in general we are owed nothing, but this is not progress in the slightest and not a good sign. Chris
  13. Yeah I have never signed up for FB, I'm just reading things on the public page. Chris
  14. CosmoDNA's Facebook page is saying that they will only do subtitles *IF* a deal is made with an international distributor. Considering what happened with 2199(not even finishing the series) I'm not holding my breath. I gotta say I'm a little peeved by his (CosmoDNA's) reactions to people on FB when they say they are cancelling their pre-orders. He's saying they are working against their common goal, and missing out on a great show?? How is not buying disc's they can't understand working against the show?? By NOT supporting this descision, MAYBE the lower sales will show Bandai Visual that this was not a good idea. Long shot? Yes. But I don't see how buying the discs anyway, thus not effecting their profits, would be a good thing for non-Japanese speaking fans. I'm really bummed by this, I was really looking forward to this show and was ready to plunk down the cash to buy the series like I did for 2199. I'm computer stupid too and have no clue how to find/ watch fan subbed versions when they come out too. Chris
  15. Saw this on FaceBook. Interesting take on the Turtles. Definately more realistic https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10104863719678667&id=9628412 Chris
  16. Thanks for the clarification. Interesting, AAA stands for Advanced Ability Armament. Chris
  17. Plenty of Krennics around here too. I got an Ahsoka and Kanan last year, I saw them I think twice...one of which is when I bought them. I really want a Snowtrooper bad...you'd think they'd be easy to get. They where always my favorite type of Stormtrooper. Chris
  18. Yeah, I noticed that too. Something doesn't sound right there. Chris
  19. Still haven't seen any of the wave that has the Snowtrooper, AT-AT driver, ect. They have supposedly been out for months but all I see are shelves full of Jyn Erso, Death Troopers, Kasian Andor, and Rey. Chris
  20. Damn that's cool. Looks to be about the same length as the Domelus Class. Chris
  21. Great work fella's Chris
