    2 Toms are better than one

    Seems they’re really hoping this will bring new fans, Bandai is adding the main character to their 30 minute missions line of kitshas removable armor and doesn’t look too bad so far, but I’d hope they eventually do the og samurai troopers/ronin warriors as well

    Looks awesome despite the little decal flaws. Can’t wait to see how the KOG turns out.

    All that work is definitely paying off

    I’m still hoping for you to fully recover soon. Didn’t realize things went that deep

    I agree, but unfortunately it’s not the overseas stores at fault over things. It’s something that’s unfortunately also creeping on a lot of stateside places of many retailers of different products due to either parts of products made overseas or the entire product made overseas. I do hope things change soon, because everything seems to be getting pricey these days

    I guess that’s why I haven’t heard of them until recently. I’m old, but not that old yet.

    It was a very small minority of people, but those people had a loud voice. It’s sorta like that M&M’s thing a while back that most people didn’t care about, only less people know about the existence of Cracker Barrel.

    Tennis had been doing the majority of Macross art for boxes for a number of recent years. Not sure about the reasoning here, but he also did artwork for many other franchises as well. Maybe he just needed a bit of a rest after being the only major name in the game. I do love the Mercy Rabbit stuff lately and kinda nice to see other great artists pop up. I think there’s a certain bit of story in the Mercy Rabbit stuff that’s kinda exciting on the boxes. I kinda missed old school battle scenes and a lot of the newer box art has had little exciting things going on while still showing off the main attraction up front. Anyway, hope it’s not a bad reason that we don’t get as much Tenjin and just the well deserved resting thing going on

    I like the red, it makes it go faster, even when it’s just on a stand.
  11. Big s
    The red gives a more painting looking highlight. Reminds me more of some of the box art kinda look

    It’s definitely a tough time to try and acquire Japanese kits, especially for those of us in the U.S., but if you’re not here, then it will be significantly easier to find them. I would check the toy section, I think I’ve seen Luna park come up over there in discussions about Bandai’s dx line

    That’s oddly been common even before the ev stuff started becoming common. A lot of the Gas engines have been silent for over a decade, even rather quiet in the muscle cars. I remember a long time ago when the Mustang’s were getting 💩as soon as people realized that the noise was a speaker thing rather than an engine thing. Some people even argue that the fake noise is a safety feature to warn pedestrians and cyclists. As far as Cracker Barrel, that’s a whole different issue. The company was desperate because they started losing money and decided to try a logo change up. Most people didn’t even know it was an iconic logo til the few diehard customers that like the place started crying over it. Honestly I didn’t even know there was one thirty minutes away til my lady informed me about its existence after the controversy was in the news. She hasn’t ever been there either. That’s one of the stupid issues I have with this changeover. The companies aren’t on the same page with the standardization and it’s stalling the industry. If they’d standardize things, it would make the vehicles much less expensive and easier to maintain over time. Most of the charging stations seem to be Tesla and if someone has a different type of car, then they have to hope for an adapter to work. And that issue sometimes goes the other way as well. We might get an ev one day, but they’ll have to sort these issues out and make them more affordable overall and I’m not sure if that will be in my lifetime

    They need to do a Spartan to play bass with those big hands

    It was cheaper the first run, but shipping and inflation happened and now it’s a pricey kit in 1/72. The 1/100 is mostly looking like a simplified compact version of the larger kit. And the new one fits in well with the wave VF-1 kits and hg Bandai kits.
  17. Big s
    No problem. I got the 1/72 version and love it, and I seem to have quite a few 1/100 kits so I was looking forward to this as well.

    Tomahawk is up for preorder, love this picthey’re buddies

    I would’ve thought that all would’ve been printed on it, but I guess not if it has a decal for it. The whole ting is a silly cash grab. May as well just get the standard kit and the decals and be much happier that way

    I wanted to see how this light blue looked, to me it looks more like a pale green and then I went with azure blue , which turned up as kind of a grey blue. I really wasn’t sure how either color would turn out and figured if nothing else, it’d be interesting together. i may use that light blue that I swear is pale green on a gm custom from 0083 at a later time

    Still taking my time on this since the deadline passed. Did a basic assembly to see if my rough camo looked a bit cohesive. I think it’s ugly, but works for that trashy Machinen Krieger kinda look. Plus any overly messy spots I think will just blend in with the heavy weathering I plan to give it. I still plan on some stripes here and there and of course decals. I just wanted to see how things looked in a basic assembly for now.

    that’s a bad one to start with for sure. I usually recommend something like a hg kit or the new entry grade kits to those just getting started.

    Even though Arii Macross kits were easier to find here than the Imai ones, the zentraedi kits other than ships and destroids were ere on the extremely rare side.

    I might pick that up, I got a rg sinanju unbuilt and that might give me the motivation to finally dig it out and slap it together

    Definitely far better than the live action movie or American animated show. i always remember the part where Chun Li gets out of the shower and totally wrecks Vega’s face
