    Bandai DX VF-31

    I haven't received any word from NY. Sigh... Looking forward to this bird.
  2. I don't think I ever realized how busy the new visor is. There are lots of pics of the rider here: https://ameblo.jp/sen-ti-nel-info/entry-12362327147.html?frm_src=thumb_module

    The Hikaru 1J would be much easier to mod. From what I understand the paint removal process isn't fun.
  4. Hey all, if you're curious about any of the Yamato releases, I have a full review up now on anymoon.com. 10 to 12 years late? Yeah, maybe I'll be doing the Proto Garland some day also but it's different enough that I'll give it a dedicated post.
  5. I still watch 80s anime all the time so I'm not a stickler for visuals

    Regular HMR = available at every store, usually marked down below MSRP. The benefit is that you can get the toy for below MSRP right away. The downside is that they sell out very quickly and most stores limit you to one (for people who want multiples) P Bandai, AKA Premium Bandai, AKA Tamashii Web Exclusive (TWE) is only available through the Tamashii website to Japanese residents. If you want one outside of Japan, you have to go to a middle man. There are a number of stores that act as a middle man but you have to pay full MSRP + Japan Tax + a middle man surcharge. The benefit of TWE releases is that a preorder window stays open for a set amount of time (like a month) and you can order as many as you want.
  7. Looks fun, does it say it's going to be on Netflix at the end there??

    That's the whole reason it's called an ostrich!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I wonder if Bandai has implemented some sort of "bulk delivery" schedule for Tamashii items that happens after the retail delivery to people's homes and that's why CDJ and NY are getting it a week late?

    HMR release news is so odd. I'm always happy for whatever we're getting while simultaneously let down it's not something else. C'mon Bandai, pick up the release pace! One every 4 months will not suffice!
  12. Shizuka is new too... still needs to build a list of stores to window shop at before pulling the trigger (on those items that don't sell out instantly). Unfortunately, experience is expensive to earn in this hobby.

    Agreed, not a fan of the M&M colors.
  14. I'd pay $5 not to have to do that.
  15. I already paid for mine so I'm all set.... But I could use some extra time... Think I'm going to be brave and transform my Beagle.
  16. They should reissue their other stand... that thing is now commanding a pretty nice premium in the after market.
  17. I've had Megazone playing in the background while I've done other stuff the last couple nights. I liked Megazone 23 Part 1 more than I remembered. The ending though is pretty rough. The clip show nature of it perhaps? Had the TV show played out maybe we get to a better resolution. Megazone 23 Part 2 was pretty jarring. All the characters you know done completely different in styles. While the ending is certainly a tidier bow on everything, it felt really unsatisfying. Again, it's in the background, so all the chase scenes, which I'm sure were done well, just seemed like filler. Only started Part 3 but I'm already 'meh' on all the hacker stuff so this isn't going to go well.
  18. Too bad we can't reverse age Bruce Willis and make him star in this movie also... I think it would have helped a lot.
  19. Still not sure I'll do a review of it but I went ahead and bought one to show support.
  20. Imaii reissues.

    Yeah, amiami was where I was thinking.
  22. Went to my local TRU today while i waited for my take-out order... I love taking my kids there and letting them check out all the toys and remembering how I used to be so excited to go there. It was sad to think we won't be doing that any more. One funny bit though, there's a giant NOW HIRING banner in front of the store. It's kind of hard to imagine people applying.
