I heard that earlier in the night. Sounds like everyone thought he was just feeling under the weather. I don’t think they have a cause yet, but he was only a few years older than myself, and that kinda thing just makes you think
-
Sledge hammer was definitely a great show and amazing concept. I always liked that he always made sure his true love was comfy with that little pillow. I love the episode where they got lost at sea and he used the only flair to shoot down the rescue plane

Shhh. You’re not supposed to compare gundam to transformers out loud
-
My brother used to sing the p**** cow jingle as well. I thought it was just him, I guess it was a common mistake

If it was golion, it would be R rated
-
Honestly, I don’t get it at all. It really messes with my eyes. Other than that the animation looks fine, but I can’t get past that shading
-
The animation doesn’t look bad, but that weird triangular shading is kinda distracting
-
I didn’t realize it was already the last episode of the season. That show took a simple concept and went so far off the rails with crazy subplots that I have to agree that I’d be surprised if season 3 happens
-
I’m most excited for the trooper and Storm Shadow, but I gotta say that that has gotta be the best scarlet figure to ever come out
-
The first season was good, but it felt like it ended. Not sure how this season will be.

They might be pricey, but for the most part these are the G.I. Joe’s I’ve really wanted. The straight up cartoon style without modern modifications are exactly what I always wanted. Now they got the cobra trooper, gonna need an officer soon to tell him what Cobra Commander told him to do

I guess in space, there are no weight restrictions -
I think it would be great to get the hulk in a Deadpool movie. It’d be pretty funny since currently both characters are a bit too chatty.

I kinda worded that strangely up above. I meant that it came to the U.S. around then, not that it was made here. It would show up on those previews right before the movie on the vhs tapes back in the day. It was back when tapes were still kinda popular and this one was fairly easy to find back then. In the 80’s my brother and I had a few of the old school toys that made it stateside, but didn’t know anything about the show. When I saw orgus 2 I needed to find the og stuff. A few years later dvds were big and found a bootleg. Good times. I think the official dvd didn’t make it here until more than a decade after that , so I bought that as well. I haven’t watched orgus 2 in years, not since I had an actual vhs player. I don’t really remember much from it
-
It came out mid 90’s herein the U.S., oddly enough I saw this before actually seeing the original since I had to find a bootleg sub of the old one. I think it was 5 or six episodes

Super Dimension Convention - 2022

Sure does -
If the news from dero is correct, it’s because hlj only allows one of each preorder item per customer. Hobby search on the other hand allows three. So I guess going by this hobby search was breaking that quota. I don’t think I have any Bandai kits currently on preorder with them, but I’m wondering if anyone else does and if they will still honor those. I know back when hlj was having Star Wars problems they still honored the preorders made before the rule change. I actually like hlj, just wish they’d make their site a bit better. Hobbysearch has the easiest one to use and I’m gonna miss being able to reference the instruction manuals. I think they were the only site that did that.

I’m looking at this and the pictures are even smaller now, but to me if you increase the size of the picture it looks great and doesn’t have to be real life size. When I increase the size to a real life size of the toys they look great together

A better example of something Bandai has recently put out are those 30 minutes missions kits. I don’t see a problem with people buying multiples of those kits. I personally don’t own any, but have been tempted by a few. They were made to be customizable and if someone wants to buy a few to customize a squad, I don’t think that’s a problem at all. Maybe a smaller limit like three or five, would be ok. But to have a highly customizable kit where you might only be able to get one or one of each weapon set. Another recent example I could think of is that currently there are three variations of the hg messer. The after market decal sheet that Bandai made only has enough of the Mafty markings for one Incase you used the other markings for the xi and Penelope. In a case like that, unless you buy bootleg decals then you would need three sets for those kits. Honestly they should have included more emblems on those sheets.

As far as collectibles go, I could see limiting toys far more than models. The demand for Bandai kits has been a bit wild though and the scalping situation attached to the standard plastic non limited kits is beyond me. I guess it is possible like said above that these stores had been asked to only sell one per person. But honestly I would think a practice like that is just doing the consumer a favor, where the store is taking a gamble at how things will sell. In the whole kit department it’s not as popular worldwide as the action figure market, so they probably worry about not being able to make enough profit by selling mass quantities of some main character gundam kit versus the funky canon fodder badguy kits that sometimes only the most hardcore army builder would want. I think limits are reasonable to ask, but limiting one kit per person is a bit much, and punishing the retailers isn’t really the proper thing to do if they’re not being totally ridiculous about their limits. I still don’t really think basic kits, especially Bandai mass produced kits should be a collectible. One of the more interesting kits from wave recently was that monobike. That to me would be more collectible since it’s probably nowhere near as mass produced as the rg hi nu. And nobody worried if some people ordered one two or nine of them.

I just double checked both hlj and hobby search and hobby search is 3 per household while hlj was selling that hg shenlong at only 1 per person. I don’t think that kits should be limited too much especially with something like a Zaku and a person might just want to do a cool display with a commander and two subordinates. I guess 10 might be a bit much, but 3 doesn’t seem bad to me with standard releases. As far as web exclusives, those are a bit tougher and probably should be limited, but those aren’t even part of the issue at all. The only standard kit I had an issue getting a hold of from one of these sites recently was the nightingale and the second shipment came through not long enough to complain about two months later. I only ordered one since the damn thing is so big. I’m so back logged that I still haven’t built it. I was actually more excited for the Hasegawa Regult and started that one immediately. I’m not the type to support scalpers, but there’s really no need with a standard Bandai release to use them anyway. Maybe with one of the web exclusives, but like I said that’s not the issue here.

I was looking at the previous page at those red an blue ones and in smaller pictures, I get what you guys are saying. But as soon as I expand the pictures a bit the effects work really well. The outer dark lines tie in the paint job and these aren’t super small toys, so I bet in person they look impressive. I really like how they had turned out
-
That seems odd since hobby search always had restricted numbers as well. It was usually something like 3 per household. I really don’t understand the extreme demand for Bandai kits. When they’re popular they reprint them like candy.

Does Orgus 2 ova thing count
