    As someone who has seen them all, with the only omissions in the collection being Highlander 2(don't care how it's cut/edited, it just doesn't work) and The Raven ( I liked Amanda, just not that much); I'm bound to see it. I'm actually really surprised to hear that P.S. Davis is okay with this, as the whole point behind The Source was to allow W. Panzer to die knowing a "prize" had been achieved. Bring on the Queen but why not add some Who?

    Yeah, the subway part immediately had me thinking of "The Boys and A-train"; only x20. Even if O.M. comes back ready to be on Mark's side, how does the world start to forgive him?

    If BBTS doesn't get it, USAGundamStore is, pre-order is already up.

    Keep it on Earth during the One Year War for the film; not a retelling of MS 08th but something in the same vein. I just think it would appeal to a broader audience unfamiliar with the Franchise as a whole and only getting 90-120 minutes to become invested and slowly introduced into the war in Space and Newtypes. A two film at once announcement would be better as it would indicate the intention to tell related stories from the different Faction viewpoints.

    That is actually a little better than I was offered on my Drizzt/Guenhwyvar combo. Figure showed up and had no movement in his right arm from the elbow down; should have had double-jointed elbow and wrist swivel. Contacted Pulse CS and was simply told I could receive a refund or another figure of the warehouses choice from any of their other lines, including MLP; mind you, Pulse was still selling the figure. When I suggested I be able to choose the "line", not even the figure, it was a no-go. Hasbro is not in my good graces as a company. Few weeks later, they sent a link for a ranking on my issue; that didn't go well for them. Technically it's still an open issue as nothing has been resolved, just dropped!

    Are you kidding; The Porkchop Express won't shut-up about the new Shield bearer.

    I ended up going with a combo different from that for my Sunstreaker trio. I went with Matrix Workshops set for Cordon and Spinout with the addition of Shockwave Labs thigh fillers. The kits do not work with each other w/o modification; the calf covers are black and have a nub on them that would need filed/sanded off that goes into the thigh hole when in Alt mode, with the thigh fillers in as well that nub must be removed for the leg-covers to close completely; no issues in Robot mode between the two. The rifles are more a flat gray than silver as with most other kits while the spoiler is still more a silver. The Matrix Workshop kits are $15 each or $35 for a full trio set. Thigh fillers were $8 and also came bundled with Runamuck/Runabout thigh fillers as well. For Sunstreaker himself, I opted for the ZX Studios kit, $20. It is a complete kit in that you get leg-covers, thigh fillers, spoiler, rifle, pistol, and "pile-drivers/laser" covers that were G1 toy included, 1 at least. The whole kit is painted yellow except for the spoiler and weapons, which are more a silver than gray. The yellow is once again close but no match for either the plastic or paint on Sunstreaker. Unlike the Matrix leg-covers no modding is needed to make everything work in both modes.

    Yes, then turns right back around in another 5 mins and undoes everything it just spent time building. The meat and potatoes don't really start happening until about half-way through; most of which is dystopian.

    What is going on with the GBP hands? Those are not any of the previous issued hands in either S or J releases. I like them and I don't, afraid they won't stand up to the test of time; swapped the itsy-bitsy hands for the anime style and never looked back. While the lighting gimmick is nice on this line, I would prefer to see it ditched in an effort to bring the costs down.

    Managed to get the last Inferno at Walmart today; almost missed him, hidden down low at ankle height. Other than a mix of Netflix, Kingdom was 2 Warpaths and a BW; SS86 was Blur. Don't have a Grapple yet, but that is now going to change.

    Binged watched in this past weekend. My take was the pace was a little too quick; too many deaths are simply brushed aside, episode 1. Had the potential for Godzilla meets Mad-Max, then just dropped the ball; for now. the Drifting part is actually cool, want to see what happens when you attempt to Drift too often, it's here. The manipulation of Drifting was a nice new corridor to explore. For a show that is trying to be serious and adult, it has far too many open plot threads at the moment and ended a season by not answering any of them! I'm intrigued enough to keep watching but already becoming skeptical. Not impressed by the "mysterious mute" third wheel.

    The car's rear tires should have met up with the trailer's front tires; that 3/4"-1" would make a world of difference. The only reason I can see for going the route they did was to make the length of Rodimus the same as Prime with Trailer; which defeats the point of most future designs, comparing the cargo room in an Econoline Van and a Transit Van, one will find one vehicle is quite larger than the other but doesn't travel near as nicely or provide quite as much storage. Besides, not aware of any Econoline Vans with an XJ220 engine but I've seen the Transit with it.

    Nowhere have I said either lacks in content, nor hinted at being able to do a better job myself. I frequent both and here as well; I like covering the bases. Each has garnered a following and justly so, even if others point in jest. I'll turn to them before I end up on the absolute dry British reviews. Each brings a different nuanced perspective to the whole picture; don't we all?

    Would have quoted the talking Bionicle but none of the jokes stand out, other than bad! Edit: However, at least it's a changing useless filler/gimmick.
  15. Wolf-1
    Agreed! The multiple comparisons to figures past or 3P offerings helps a lot more than just the typical here is said figure with Prime. While all the same basic topics are covered, Mike does it without all the typically useless filler; "Because it's precious, just oh so precious".

    So Chuckles and Jinx are the only 2 in either camp to come from the movie? Jinx I can understand, but Chuckles most memorable moment was when he stopped driving a vehicle to rip a rocket off it and hurl it at a HISS tank, in training. Tunnel Rat would have made a little more sense, can understand why Falcon was skipped with all the other berets already on the team. Never read the comics, so if Chuckles had a larger part in that I wouldn't have known.

    MacrossCentral on F.B. is reporting a new Frontier movie or short for 2021. They got the news from a Twitter feed.

    Yes, though the end of YG2 is set in 1950 just as the beginning is, big gap between 1881 and 1950. Doc historically survived the whole thing as told at the end of the first one. Its C. Bowdry who actually died at the shack where Doc says, "Let's finish the game."

    IF it gets done great, if not not a big deal; but seeing a possible life where Billy went from Horse Thief to Horse Trainer for Bill Cody's Show, only to then find himself in the Rough Riders and then finally what was essentially a Livestock Agent in Texas, does have movie making possibility. Estevez's laugh would only help seal the deal. The fact that G. Bombay is back is cool, but isn't the Hanz/Franz fallback angle a bit overused in the Series already, referring to the "Barn" rink. So the Ducks are now team Iceland with accents and all? While the Ducks might be a stellar "Allstar" peewee team, international worthy is pushing it. Could do without the older Gilmour Girl. As a Hockey nut, I'm in but not expecting much at all. If you want a decent Series dealing with Hockey, there is a show called "Junior League" on Youtube, at least it deals with a team trying to break into the Semi-Pro Junior League. It is a Ukranian/Russian show and the translation isn't always the best but it's a little more Youngblood than Mighty Ducks.

    As the title implies, apparently Young Guns 3 is more than just a swig of peyote and dream away. For me, the first film was an instant classic, still rivals Tombstone for Best Modern Western, even keeps pace for quotes. Not sure where this will go, other than to hope we see them do the life of "Brushy" Bill Roberts, who was the individual who came forth and whom N.M. denied. Amazingly all his remaining living contacts confirmed Roberts as the "Kid". Roberts had a very interesting life in his own right, which still could make for an interesting tale. Sutherland, Phillips, and Slater are apparently on board, but not sure how that would play out. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2021/01/20/young-guns-3-emilio-estevez-and-the-gang-are-back-in-another-blaze-of-glory/

    So Grogu loses his head to Din? Oh, the stories Meethos could tell us as a Mando. Is Emperor Palpatine just Arimon in a Galaxy Far Far Away?

    Having done this on Bumblebee with a Copic 0.03 in Warm Gray, its stayed on just like a gunpla with several handlings/transformations and no rubbing off, even on the vents on the engine cover/backpack. I tend not to topcoat so if it's going to disappear it will happen on mine.

    Out of all of his "LEO" roles, this was the closest to his sidekick gig in Gone in 60 Seconds (remake), he was "flying around on spaceships"; should have had the, "Are you alright? Are you sure, cause you were just swallowed by a dragon."

    Can't lie, was hoping we would finally see the White Wolf in costume; since they already dropped the teaser anyway. Boseman is called away for whatever reason, Wakanda needs an intermediate protector, who during the film gets his butt handed to him forcing the new Black Panther to take the mantle, whom-so-ever that may be.

    R.A.(Bob) Salvatore, wrote about his first dinner meeting with B.B. and T.B. while at a Con in Atlanta. Apparently at some point in the night, many wine glasses later, B.B. and Bob were giving a reciting of Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail, witch skit; ending with Ben Bova standing on his chair in the middle of the restaurant. Terry Brooks was apparently quite appalled!
