In case I ever think I’ve gone overboard on weathering my own projects, at least I know that the pro probably would disagree would probably say that I haven’t weathered enough

Musta got the three I canceled
. I realized when the Milia preorder didn't go through that I was on pace to have 12!!! kits of this single mold, and as much as I like the design, I don't 12 molds' worth of money like it!
(That said, now that I'm going through M7 and Max and Milia are my favorite characters in the entire cast, I may have shot myself in the foot there...
Oh well. Gamlin's a fun guy, too.)
I figured the M&M variants were coming and I actually skipped the Gamlin version, so yeah, 9 of these for me. I do like Gamlin, but that would have put me at 12 as well. Plus Gamlin was a web exclusive. I’ve seen his restocked a couple times already, so if I change my mind one day, it won’t be too hard to get

One can wish to be living as well as Cheech and Chong at their age, gonna have to rewatch their early films again. They also gave Paul Reubens's film career a good start as Pee-Wee Herman, though very R-rated, lol. Miss that guy 🙏
It’s weird how things connect. Without Cheech and Chong, we might not have had Pee Wee, without Pee Wee we might not have had Morpheus

Just got the notification that my three Max 22’s are in at hlj

Any Front Mission merch is awesome, glad there's interest and keeping the series alive.
Yeah, it’s definitely something I like seeing. These kits aren’t gonna be cheap though. Hobbysearch has it for $79 on preorder. I’ll have to be more selective on these than I was with the little ones.

K I gotta ask, how many of you guys have bought off Mercari? I was looking to add more to my Retro console collection, typed in a few just for giggles to see what they come up with cause ebay is charging an arm and a leg for a few I have interest on......and the prices are super duper lower, in some cases 50-60% difference in price. Course I'm reading the descriptions to be very careful I'm not gonna end up with a picture of a Neo-Geo CD or something along those lines.
BUt how was the experience? did you get what you bought and all that jazz?
I’ve never bought a video game or electronics, but I did buy an action figure and everything came as advertised. It’s kinda like eBay light. I think experiences will vary depending on the individual sellers

Cheech & Chong's Last Movie
A classical duo, one last ride together
I used to live in Riverside just a couple years ago and then as soon as I leave Cheech opens up a museum there. I guess there wasn’t enough room for both of us in that town.
I’ll probably check this out. My favorite movie with Cheech will always be Born in East LA, but I did always feel a little down that Chong was missing from it.

Man, I saw "1/100" and got excited thinking Bandai was finally doing a 31 HMR.
...
...Imma still get it, though.
They’ll possibly do one one day, but for now it’s manual labor time

I guess the little guy wasn’t enough, so now they’re doing 1/48 kits

I'm really glad that I waited with a Unicorn Gallus conversion. More ZZ kits is good news.
I saw a few conversions for that kit that looked really great. One was for the J that they just put the preorder for and another was for the cannon type that looked even cooler. I kept telling myself that it would be a waste of time since a Bandai variant, I didn’t realize that it would take them a decade or so. Hoping that Bandai doesn’t wait too long to do a cannon variant

I have high hopes for an eventual VF25 release
I have no doubt they’re planning on releasing those, and they’re gonna be pretty great.

Lets hope they produce VF-19S.
They probably will. Might be a web exclusive though

A bunch of kits went up for preorder for the new Gundam show. I didn’t care, but something that totally surprised me was the Gallus from ZZ Gundam has an hg kit. I figured it wouldn’t be too hard to do since there was a Unicorn version that seems to be one of the rarest standard releases ever. But I guess I was surprised that this is a standard release as well

I’ll wait and see if they do the A type

Those look great, but given Wave's pricing they will likely be very expensive.
Wave’s pricing isn’t really that bad for a smaller company. Hg Bandai kits are starting to creep up into the mid thirties these days. As an example for a smaller 1/35 kit of the scopedog without the cockpit and downform parts, it’s about thirty bucks and has extra hands, round mover back pack and a machine gun. A fairly good amount of plastic. 1/100 destroids don’t even have hands or extra weapons or back packs. I’d still expect they’d probably be near that range more or less

I might be interested in this one…
Yeah, it looks pretty great actually.

With all this options, they'll only need to do the VF-1J Max and Miria. In fact, we just need the white straps and the Miria's name for the cockpit.
I have a feeling that they didn’t include those due to possible upcoming releases that might be just around the corner

Nice pick. I like their earlier stuff the best. Sort of a folk band smashed into a punk band kinda sound at the time.

waiting for premium models of Raiden, Ikaruga,
Looks like one of the Ikaruga models is getting a rerelease, probably a good sign that the other one will as well in the near future

IDK, I think KITT would find the Delorean to be too stupid to hack.
Probably, but might be petty enough to jump ahead of it and keep it from reaching 80

Saw it yesterday, did "dinner and a movie" (where they serve you at your seat)----I liked it. I think the B/B- rating is about right. Is it great? No, but nothing's as good as Captain America: Winter Soldier. And it's 10x better than true junk like Eternals or Quantumania or The Marvels. People are acting like this is bottom-tier MCU, and it's not at all. It's a solid movie IMHO. Just not, 'amazing'.
I’ve been hearing that as well. Basically not as good as the greats, but far better than the majority of the films , especially the recent ones.
I didn’t think as many people would check this one out, but family, friends and coworkers have gone out and watched it. I guess not much to do on the long weekend or something. Most of them really had fun with it, although there were a few that I talked to that weren’t too impressed but no one that hated it yet so far out of the people I know. -

And if it gets to 88mpg it can be at the finish line before the race even starts.
Unless KITT hacks its systems and makes it 20 years too late to the finish

Both are Valkyrie designs that are sort of impossible without cartoon magic mass-shifting, so I feel that an HG kit version would do the VF17 line art battroid proportions more justice
I remember the toy versions being very thin looking. A kit may be better, but those legs are supposed to be fairly chonky. They’d probably have to swap those out for fighter mode to keep it looking like the line art. I kinda wonder if it might be something that Max Factory is planning since they did the fire Valkyrie kit and might do the 17 variants at some point

@Big s you’re onto something about Alclad under other colors. I put a clear purple over some Alclad Chrome and it has a really nice effect. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah, alclad looks amazing under other clear color or under clear plastics like the backing of clear sensors or headlights. It’s one of those things that often looks absolutely amazing in person, but can be really hard to photograph to show others how great it turns out
What will Hasegawa do next?
in Model kits

The box art for these Zentraedi kits have been really awesome so far. Far better than what the assignment required for cool box art. I wish Bandai would allow their boxes to be as dynamic and action packed as these.
