  1. Nice can’t wait to see them. for me Macross is what got me into the hobby back in the 80’s, but I definitely enjoy kits from other franchises. just finished snapping a simple G-Line kit from Gundam. Surprised that there were absolutely no seams or polycaps on the basic kit or its armor. Does need a bit of paint to be totally accurate, but I haven’t decided if I care to be accurate with it. just something to take a break from sanding and seam filling work on other unfinished projects.
  2. Honestly, I didn’t realize it was the same guy from the prequels. The only thing I remember at all about him other than having a cone head and a silly death dance and complaining about the droid attack on the wookies. Sometimes ignorance is bliss because without these oddball discussions I probably wouldn’t know what the complaints were about.
  3. Happy birthday. It’s great to see they know what to buy you. Those aren’t exactly the first choices someone that isn’t in the know would pick for anyone. Please post a lot of cool pictures of these since it’s very rare to see these built
  4. I’ve seen so many of his films over the years and even when they want you to hate his character, he would be so great that you’d still feel a little bad if that character died. He had a great career and left many great memories
  5. Sounds good to me. Smiling Ren it is. I was gonna go with tooth fairy or tooth Vader or something equally as lame, but that name is too good not to be used
  6. That vf-1j fighter is just around the corner. But I think it’s end of July if I’m not mistaken. I’ve noticed that the battroid is currently smoldering out at a lot of sites and I’m glad it’s popular, but I have a feeling they’ll be doing some reprints soon. I highly recommend that kit.
  7. Even that didn’t feel like it really needed much background information. It’s kinda more to keep the plot feeling more mysterious. I can see being curious and looking into it, but it’s basically laid out as to why he went super hippie that he had immense guilt over something that happened
  8. They were big back in the 80’s, I always got Whitesnake, White Lion and Great White confused personally.
  9. OSHA’s standards force the bar in the first episode to have second floor rails. That’s how the bar owner mistakenly identified her. Plus that’s also the reason he went out of his way to go across the galaxy to point her out. It was a major setback to galactic safety ever since
  10. I know there’s a few Easter eggs and such, but I don’t feel like as a casual that there is really much that needs background in this show for a person that hasn’t read the comics or watched the cartoons or played many of the video games other than a bit of minor context. The writing is so simplistic that it just doesn’t feel like a necessity. The majority of the discussions over the show are more focused on goofy mistakes of bad writing and situations that come about due to those errors. There’s things like the Witches and their use of the not force that some will want to go back into other media to see why they were persecuted or hated, but it’s pretty unnecessary in the end because the writers usually spell it out by saying that they tend to use the dark side magic and they’re called witches, so they must be on the opposite side of the spectrum because most entertainment usually makes witches the evil force of magic. Overall the show is underwhelming and has the most dull characters. It tends to have some really cringy moments, like that horrible two are many song and attack me now with all your strength speeches that anger the die hard fans that stand out because there’s just not really much great to talk about. It makes for a show that’s on the borderline between meh and this is pure trash, with the hope that things might teeter towards meh and might just roll past it on the ground to be an ok show, but not so far as to ever be a great show
  11. Looks ok so far, I might’ve been tempted if not for the recent max factory kit
  12. It’s still a very cool item
  13. The show isn’t anywhere near as fun as the discussions about it. There’s some odd bits one person will catch that someone else hasn’t and you almost feel compelled to rewatch it to see what it was, but it’s usually stupid little things like shaved wookies or burning rocks that really don’t affect the story and other things like odd choices that don’t make sense, but are there anyway.
  14. I started using glass files rather recently. Oddly they can be bought in women’s beauty sections and are surprisingly great at filing without leaving the scratchy surface that metal ones do and they’re rather inexpensive. I didn’t believe the hype when I got a set and was very surprised at the results
  15. Honestly, it’s tough to try and explain to parents or young children, but at least by the time you pass away your daughter will be older and probably into anime. It’s one of those older generation things that would make it far less acceptable, but I’d be more uncomfortable having my own adult daughter finding that on a shelf of mine while I’m still alive. It would definitely be an uncomfortable moment.
  16. Imagine Newton’s confusion when a road apple falls from the sky to hit him on the head.
  17. Those softer plastics can be a pain sometimes
