  1. Did miria come with a baby pod? I don't remember seeing one.
  2. I suspect Max is just more popular.
  3. I bundled with my Garland so I'll be waiting a few months in this one.
  4. That's the same hand breakage I had, what an awful design. Is the cockpit breakage glue that didn't set or broken plastic, I can't tell from the pic.

    Spartan says it's a proxy item so there are fees.

    Such a good deal, wish I had the room.
  7. I saw it again last night, like it more now. My wife didn't like it as much a second time around. For me it was a couple items I had forgotten that answered issues I had with the plot, particularly around Benicio’s rule.
  8. Many of the problems stem from decisions made by ET (undersized pegs, glued tabs instead of screws or other connections), but some are also bad manufacture, like I had a warped wing.
  9. Ha, maybe not scaling fine, but fitting in well size wise.
  10. No, you're way off on that. A great movie has thought put into every scene and it's almost impossible to catch it all in one viewing. You're asking for the extreme dumbing down of cinema which is generally what we hear people lamenting. A good movie should be a fun viewing the first time, no argument there, but it should get better as you watch it more.
  11. HG licensed those Popbox pilot figures, some super poseables, and several 1/100 toys as DYRL merchandise. This may have been clarified after the fact since there was some more legal wrangling but otherwise it seems they can do DYRL stuff.
  12. No, it doesn't seem they do.
  13. Hopefully you are about to see a big bump in production quality! Unfortunately, I have to learn some new software and a new camera so it might cause a delay... but my reviews have never been timely :). I haven't seen the Zeta appear on most the retailers I normally go to (CDJ, NY, HobbySearch) so I wonder if it didn't go to "order stop" at HLJ while they wait for ET to make an official announcement OR while ET reconsiders their release schedule.
  14. Oh man, bummer, I think my Max is shipping with it.
  15. Holding a light saber has nothing to do with the force, using it with skill does. Finn developed from an angry coward to a would be hero which was pretty good development as far as star wars goes. Do people want a direct parallel to OT characters to accept the new characters? I don't love the character, and I really didn't like the casino arch, but I don't understand the problem with him. He has some celebrity after TFA among a small group and this film is about the small group so he's involved. He's also outside the ranks so there's more freedom in what the plot asks of him and his ability to do his own thing. Rey would have similar freedom so they can pair up for future deeds while Poe will need to stick to the Resistance proper (and either become a leader or get a shiny new x wing). You guys know the Falcon will be sacrificed in the next movie right with chewy at the controls.

    I don't think there's a rhyme or reason to NY's shipping... I've seen it all over the place.
  17. It's funny that this is like Robotech. Robotech fans are like ”give me the Macross characters, I need them!" and thus Robotech can never move on. Disney was like "here goes the band-aid" and you can see the sting.
  18. Oh and I didn't mean for that to sound overly serious or defensive, just thinking out loud. I have been working on my pronunciation of Hikaru. I know I mangle that one.
  19. So my justification on "Legioss" would be that it's a made up, not Japanese word, being spoken in Japanese in the show. The closest English word I know is ”legion” and hence I say "li-ji-ose". That said, if you read Tolkien a lot or use ”legend” as your basis, you may go with something more like an elf name and come out with something more similar to how it was pronounced in the show. Either way, like Mospeada, it's a made up word, so I don't think we should overly sweat it.
  20. Never take pronunciation lessons from me.
  21. LOLz, Zeta comes with dark ride armor figures because they didn't want to make a Fuke mold.
