    No problemo, I already spent my money on something else lol. After almost 2 years since coveting one, I finally ordered a VF1 Master File book. There were other choices of course but they were conveniently out of stock. For now I'll mark the Mikimoto artbook delay as noted
  2. Most of the trailer doesn't make sense. I guess Wonder Woman (and the sequel) will be the only movies from DCEU that I will watch.
  3. The original cartoon was fun, the previous live-action was not fun to sit through. I had not watched the original material before the movie, but I could tell it was one of the worst/boring movies I have ever paid for and watched. Iirc one of my friends (who had watched the original show) apologized for it. I'm not hopeful they can really recreate the fun atmosphere of the cartoon. They'll need good actors AND a good director.
  4. If there's anything that's improved here, it's the art. It's not 'gritty' anymore! Except for the zombies
  5. It's going to be boring for those looking for action/pew pew pew. Personally I think it was an OK show. If you finish it, could you give your thoughts on this take? It's been years since I watched this show. To be honest I don't remember details anymore haha. If I get bored enough with current shows I might give this series a rewatch.
  6. I am interested how they 'remake' this, though I just hope it's not a trainwreck. I also doubt their ability to keep up quality based on this teaser video.
  7. I don't remember it being PBandai. Oh well, was thinking of getting it for a fleeting moment and then that moment disappeared Thanks. It's orders closed at Amiami and I don't have an account with Bluefin (don't want too many accounts I can't keep track of).
  8. Has anybody gotten the HG 1/144 Gundam G40? Or is this not out yet?

    I don't even have space for a display case
  10. Lol yeah where did all those hooded people come from @_@ You mean they are gonna make more books? And make more money??? :P I was almost tempted once to go into the 'dark side' of getting those SW graphic novels. Good thing I didn't like the art so I wasn't suckered in.
  11. I just saw it, and I think it was OK, but could have been better (most especially with editing). I went in with low expectations and I am just relieved it is not a train wreck. This is my ranking of the trilogy: The Last Jedi The Rise of Skywalker The Force Awakens Above might be counterintuitive to some here but I find half of what Abrams puts in his movies (that I've seen) seem uninspired. Sometimes I wonder what would have been if it wasn't JJ Abrams who got to do The Force Awakens. If you've seen his Star Trek movies, you get a feel for how he does franchises. His Trek movies were not garbage-level, but sometimes below par (hi there ST: Into Darkness). Or it could be Kathleen Kennedy's fault for choosing JJ. I can't say I'd trust George Lucas either. I look at Kevin Feige and man, Marvel Studios is so lucky. That said I'm still thankful for the new characters he introduced, most especially Rey and Kylo. I think they are good characters and a nice addition to the Star Wars franchise. They also found great actors in Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley. In spite of some of the writing and execution, I like this trilogy. You might think I am too positive thinking, but those prequels were really forgettable and I'd rather have the current trilogy over it. What I liked: I like how they incorporated Carrie Fisher's unused footage. It felt almost seamless and it was the best that could be done. Loved the return of Lando Calrissian. Rey and Kylo scenes. Fanservice. What I didn't like: Some new characters could have been done away with. I would have loved to see more sword fights/pew pew... I have no idea why so I really cannot explain it, but the editing bothers me. JJ Abrams playing safe (but understandable). I'm not sure if I want to watch it again, because I am also eyeing Jumanji if it is still showing. I also wasn't really 100% focused into it as I took my nephew with me and I was checking up on him from time to time. We'll see...
  12. Lol I'm not trying to spread some itchiness haha. I have actually decided to pause on some purchases just to save some extra. But then again I find something else to spend on haha. I'm going to be in a real bind if it will coincide with an HMR release that I would want. But I've wanted a SOC Voltes V ever since I saw the old releases that's why I'm so interested in this possible new release.
  13. Guys when do you think the new SOC Voltes V is coming out? My mind just can't rest if I don't have some kind of prediction of future expenses lol
  14. So it's already coming early next year huh. I've always like Scientific Railgun over Magical Index. Hope the quality is good.

    My wallet is gonna cry if there's a MacF HMR
  16. >> Immediately they started playing ‘Don’t Say Lazy’ from the anime K-ON Sh!t I would have really enjoyed this surprise
  17. Yeah I noticed that post too. How was JUNNA's performance?
  18. So what do they call them?
  19. Any improvements at this year's AFA? It's been a long time since I went to Singapore. When I finally pay off my insurance I'm gonna have some extra money in 2 years, might be good enough for an SG trip.

    Do inform us when it finally ships
  21. Ahahaha I probably wouldn't continue watching if I didn't like the ending.
  22. Estimated quantity of 'Sales' for ROBOTECH REMIX #1: 8,109. With the caveat 'One other factor to consider is that sales through Diamond and other comic distributors are non-returnable to retailers. That means that there is a considerable unknown percentage of books unsold at the retailer level, probably amounting to 5-20% of sales.' (US only) So there are probably still a few thousand who are buying this thing. It will be interesting to see what sales numbers will be for the later issues. https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/44482/top-500-comics-october-2019
  23. Hmmm looks like I gotta start saving now!
