    That’s The dark secret of the Jedi. They steal Sith children, and that’s what started their eternal rivalry. Sith weren’t necessarily the dark side, just the side that had a good time and the Jedi were too judgy and thought they weren’t raising their kids right. The Jedi always thought the Sith listened to music way too loud and kept calling the police until they became the police and broke up the parties. They used to fight with pool noodles and light sticks, but things escalated quickly

    Yeah, but probably at an extraordinary mark up due to the rarity since it wouldn’t be a worldwide release

    Bandai will always be the problem one since hlj is the only one that can sell their models now. The other companies don’t have as high of a demand with them since you can buy them off any Japanese site, while Bandai refuses to let the others sell outside the country. I’ve lucked out so far with their hobby stuff, but I’m sure that won’t last and I’m really worried about what happens if Bandai decides to do a vf-1 kit in this line with one seller that may not be allowed to offer it due to the issues with Harmony Gold and not having even a domestic option.

    I think that’s Bandai’s plan. There’s plenty of them out there, just you gotta pay extra if you don’t live in Japan. A few places actually had them on sale over the weekend for the holiday, but they still would have been a few bucks more than hlj sold them with shipping and all added up. I was only able to get one kit with decals from Hlj and the other two sets were bought domestically

    If they do the og comic versions in 1/18 I’d buy the whole set without question

    I guess the VF-22 is up tomorrow on the U.S. pbandai store Looks like $56

    I don’t know if that’s a betrayal to earth unified colonies or to Macross itself. Either way it does look cool
  8. Big s
    It sure does

    They needed someone to clean the toilets. Sometimes it takes more than a bit of force to push a burrito special through for Yoda and someone’s gotta be there for the aftermath He wanted Bae Palpatine. She was the first girl he ever met that wasn’t built like a truck with a chrome bumper

    This is probably the most true statement here. This is a guy that actually didn’t have a trench run scene in the original movie until a model maker screwed up and in the next film didn’t even know himself that Luke and Leia were siblings when they kissed. There’s always been a bit of last minute ideas thrown about and the whole midichlorian thing probably just popped into his mind after a doctors visit while mid film making because he forgot who trained Obi Wan and had already started filming scenes with Liam Neeson

    Just when you think things are gonna be easier, Bandai pulls a Bandai

    He was really trying with the perspective thing
  13. Big s
    looks fine to me

    Same here, and not too be an ugly cgi mess

    I’d be very curious if it was more like the manga. Not only that, but I’d love a plastic model of the og Fuchikima

    Looks about right to me. The rest of the recent VF-1’s have been anorexic.

    I guess someone was gonna say it

    I’m sure it’s not too different than an insignia red, I’ll have to double check. The color guide and my Translotor on my phone don’t seem to get along. It just says red parts red, gray parts green gray so I’m not 100% sure on any of it. My plan was just to wing it with most of the colors

    Hi-Metal R

    Honestly, I kinda did. Old school Macross is the biggest thing of the franchise outside Japan

    I remember the first film, but really don’t remember the second one. I’ve only seen it once years ago

    Neat project there. Can’t wait to see this one

    I wish I had more spare time. I still haven’t gotten the hands all put together or the gunpod ready for pictures yet. Just noticed that red stripe looks like it had a little accident. If you wanted to fix it it could just take a quick bit of masking and some red paint, or you could do some battle damage since Hikaru gets shot down a lot

    Don’t get me wrong, there’s something about being new that Star Wars will never have again, but that doesn’t mean a sequel has to be bad. Disney unfortunately is a very stubborn company and doesn’t have their heads in the game and keep making the same types of mistakes over and over again space opera, fantasy wise, or with super heroes. It’s always been the writing at the heart of the problem. It doesn’t matter the genre or setting if they can’t get better stories or in some cases stories that at least make sense, they will fail. If the sequels at least felt coherent, they could’ve been far better. If Obi wasn’t a weird episode of Scooby Doo and trying to change history, people would have probably liked it. if the boba show just had boba not being such a loser, people might’ve liked it, that and getting rid of the Vespa gang. If Din didn’t need constant rescuing then people might’ve like Mando season three better. There’s also the uselessness of lightsabers that Disney introduced that is annoying fans. The moment a lightsaber duel starts the ending should either be a permanent handicap or death as a finality with a ghost really only showing up from the strongest of force users.

    The setting isn’t the problem, it’s the reliance on old stuff that’s the issue. Set a story that isn’t attached to everything else and it wouldn’t have to wood about ruining established characters. There’s also the heavy reliance on the whole Jedi thing. But honestly, the true biggest problem is the lack of a good writing team. If things in the obi show were written well, it could’ve easily been a win, same with boba and Ahsoka and the sequels. They had the budget and decent actors and basic characters, just they all ended up kinda stupid projects. They all could have been far better without much effort. It’s the same story with everything Disney has been in charge with lately, marvel stuff could be so much better for all the same reasons, Willow could’ve been great as well.

    What’s with everyone pushing Dagger aside. Poor guy was the protagonist for a bunch of episodes and then barely gets like one or two items ever. Lance is in like two or three episodes and barely shown
