  1. Watched it with my son, we thought it was fun. As an adult, I had some qualms but all very minor in the grand scheme. First SW I've watched since Mandalorian.
  2. I wonder if the Save and the other members that were previously involved in the subs worked on these also.
  3. I saw some pics of the Max figure on FB so I'm guessing a few have leaked out to buyers.
  4. I wish KC operated more like a regular store. My artillery pods still haven't shipped. I ordered them right away when they went up for PO, I wonder what the delay is? Also, it seems oddly silent since the kickstarter completed. You'd think there'd be a big push to acknowledge the kickstarter's success and try to capitalize on the momentum... not go radio silent.
  5. Sorry to hear that, I'm in S. Pas and it's been pretty scary. Good luck!
  6. It's there! All are listed as upcoming, so exciting!
  7. I love the AG line, looking forward to this.
  8. The tornado parts come with a tripod for battroid mode. For me, fighter is the only way to go with those parts.
  9. Lol, he certainly had some opinions, none of which were flattering. Your hypothesis may be valid and he may not have known. The impression I've gotten is that BW is a small company that is very weary of foreigners. With their HG experience, who can blame them? I get it now on the Macross logo, thanks. That may have to do with the pilot names also. A later run, in Japan or not, could carry the Macross logos with the Macross names.
  10. Do you mean that ThreeZero didn't use the kite in their marketing materials? It's definitely on the toys.
  11. Calibre Wings asked and was told no. Of course Noel didn't take it well and released his MZero F-14 anyway. I seem to recall that KC was courting BW so maybe their stance is softening but so far, BW has has a strict domestic bias.
  12. Has any company not headquartered in Japan received a BW license?

    1/55's revisited

    I sold mine once.... then spent nearly twice as much to get it again (though the second one is in better condition). I think it will now be one of the last collectibles I ever sell.
  14. Ha, I passed, ain't nobody for the time to build this thing!
  15. I wonder if KC will ever ship my armed battlepods.
  16. Unfortunately, every single company involved here could easily be the pain point: BigWest Harmony Gold Sony Disney Of them all, Harmony Gold of course has the worst track record of being difficult. BigWest though, is no peach either. Both of those companies are but tiny drops in the huge oceans of dysfunction that are Disney and Sony.
  17. I saw this post today: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2024-12-30/.217013 but it's only notable because BigWest gives this non-answer to why Disney+ hasn't put the catalog up in the US: “We know that fans are eager for a response, and would like them to know that their voices are being heard. As fans ourselves, it's been gratifying to see Macross finally starting to be released overseas, and we look forward to seeing the ongoing rollout of most of the Macross library.” Unfortunately, that platitude is all the meat, with everything else being supposition as to the causes.
  18. Yep, just fighters.
  19. Since they went full drone at the end of the show, it would be cool to develop a drone fighter that converted into a GBP or super parts like accessory for the Legioss.
  20. Here's what I was seeing: https://paypayfleamarket.yahoo.co.jp/item/z374408332
  21. Agreed, if you're just getting one, it's the Beagle and buy a replacement suit at the same time. I think you can get the suits for like $15 on Yahoo Japan. If you don't mind a modern reinterpretation then the sentinel is very good but does have a couple hinges you need to keep an eye on.
  22. We've used super cheap Amazon tablets for the kids and other than some busier Roblox games, it was never an issue. Then a relative gifted my son an iPad and it has been the most infuriating experience. It's the only apple product in our house but it needs to be tethered to an iPhone for parental controls (which we obviously don't have). Since we're on Google Fi, Apple wouldn't even let us register for Apple accounts refusing to accept our phone numbers but they never explained that with every failed attempt. I hate Apple's ecosystem so much.
  23. Yes, nothing comes close. It is small and complicated though.
