GP01 - Zephyrantes

GP02 - Physalis

GP03 - Stamen

GP04 - Gerbera

I get the lineage, just that it wasn’t actually in 0083, but still hoping for the anniversary to include it anyway 

looks almost like a young Bruce Willis from Moonlighting or something of that era

Well next year is 0083's 35th anniversary...

I don’t know if this really counts as a 0083 mobile suit, but I’m hoping you’re right

GP04 progress

@Big s It's indeed the old RE/100 kit.

 

Lookin good so far. I still wish that they had done a high grade version by now, but maybe one day

They made that one, but they called it "Top Gun" for some reason. 😄

One of the first movies based on a video game. People still say the movie never lived up to the glory of the game, but the movie did have a few fans.

later Ace Combat had their movie adaptation called Iron Eagle

Is the Shinobi figure available, and whose the maker?

These shops look really cool

I'm gonna wait it out and pile up in my private warehouse. I'm also thinking hlj needs to extend our private warehouse time..

They were already complaining about the overcrowding of the private warehouse, I’m just hoping this tariff stuff ends before I get any thing else dropped in. It’s probably gonna be something they’ll be forced to discuss fairly soon though either way.

Unlikely, IMO... those machines look like derivatives of the RX-78 Gundam.  We know Zeon halted development of new mobile suits in order to reverse-engineer and replicate the captured RX-78-2 Gundam.  The Federation, on the other hand, modified the design of the Guncannon for its main MS the RGM-79 Guncannon Light-type.  We know what that machine looks like via the movie and Beginnings pamphlet.

I didn’t get the pamphlet, but the pilot does look like she’s wearing a fed pilot suit as well.

Probably Zeon's next-gen MS based on reverse-engineering the stolen RX-78 Gundam.  The one that de facto replaced the Gelgoog in this timeline.

It could also be a fed suit due to the fact that in the preview it mentions the unbeaten feddy

Third episode was fun to watch. But..

  Hide contents

I immediately disliked the red gundam pilot telling us  "the gundam says.." what is Char the ghost in the machine now..?

 

Maybe 

Just watched episode three. It’s still a fun watch and the battles have more motion than most recent Gundam stuff. Looks like next episode has some type of gm. So far so good. Three down and I’m still enjoying the show, lots of silly cameo appearances for little Easter eggs going on and luckily they don’t seem like a you had to watch the og show to get what’s going on. Just little extras for those that did

General Hux wasn't a spy all along.  He started leaking intelligence to the Resistance after the events of The Last Jedi because he hates Kylo Ren and Kylo Ren took over the First Order in The Last Jedi after he assassinated Supreme Leader Snoke.  Like he tells the main characters, he doesn't really care who wins anymore he just needs Kylo Ren to lose.

That’s more than I care to remember about that horrible movie. I really don’t plan on ever rewatching it. It’s kinda sad because I actually liked the first movie.

Never knew about this movie ; 

 

 

I don’t know if it ever really had a theater run, I only remember it kinda late night on HBO or Cinemax around the nineties

WOW --- $70 EMS is the ONLY option shipping from HLJ???? for 2 model kits??? NOOOOOOOOPE!!!! 😂

That sucks. Unfortunately things are crazy right now. The price on the Glaug seems to be only mid thirties just for the kit, but a lot of sites unfortunately seem scared by shipping and have really boosted that part of the cost or eliminated certain methods that may end up higher during the shipping process.

basically rough times for collectors and model builders, with a lot of uncertainty on the way.

I’m even getting emails from big U.S. sites like BBTS that they may have to almost charge triple for everything they get since most of their products come from places with tariffs or extra high tariffs

You guys think this is worth it if I already have the HM-R Glaug that I panel lined and am honestly very happy with? Where's the "cheapest" place to get one of these from nowadays? I have the normal and scout in the closet of mystery packed away already....

I do love the hmr as well, but I’m also more interested in kits than toys. The Glaug kit is pretty cheap for now from places like hlj or hobbysearch or any other Japanese hobby site. Some American sites might have it eventually, hasegawa macross stuff is kinda odd that some items show up and others are harder to find stateside

This might be a bit of a random pull, but is Vampire Knight worth checking out?

I didn’t much care for it, but my daughter and her friends liked it. I think it appealed more to the girl crowd

Well hot damn, a decade later it's finally happening. I'm in, I've needed the Red Comet for quite a while now, looks great. 

I didn’t think they’d ever release it, now I’m wondering about that Faye Valentine they teased ages ago

He turned on Kylo Ren by the third movie. He wasn't a spy or a good guy all along. Typical Imperial/Sith backstabbing.

I thought they said he’d been their spy for a while. I really don’t feel like rewatching that movie to check though. One watch was more than enough

@Papa Rat Revival? That looks like the original mold (which they are still popping out of after 40 years). I've see a couple of Bandai tour vids and they love to show that off.

It’s one of the oddest recent releases from Bandai. Basically a brand new kit to have the feel and look of the very first kit

What are you talking about?

Just that the comment was about villains in the sequel trilogy and hux turned out to be a spy for the good guys due to stupid writing.

That's precisely Andor's market.

Unfortunately it wasn’t for season one. Hopefully this season will be just as god if not better and actually gain a major viewership this time around

Is it finally happening. They’ve been teasing him for almost a decade now. Looks like no horse, but I didn’t really care about that anyway
