    The first few seasons of 24. Not Kim being chased by a mountain lion 24. 😅 Really enjoyed Loki, probably more so than the other D+ shows so far, which really surprised me given how ambivalent I am regarding the character. -b.

    Like others have pointed out, this was okay to bad, with a small handful of good moments. Wasted potential really is the theme here. Great cast, some really good acting (Scar Jo and Florence Pugh were outstanding) but the story/plot...yikes. AND this might be one of the only end-credit scenes that actually annoyed me. I'm fine with what Marvel is doing from a connected universe perspective (there's a lot of potential there), but I'm not stoked about this particular setup. Kind of a bummer because I was very excited to have a new MCU movie to watch. Hopefully Shang-Chi and Eternals (really looking forward to that) are much better. -b.

    Quoted for truth. Hasbro is literally the worst for these store exclusives. -b.

    LOL! -b.

    Okay, okay. Not looking forward to the inevitable tears on pre-order night, but I'm always down for a challenge. -b.

    Thanks @seti88! Here's to hoping that Bandai doesn't F up the availability of these 31A's. *reasonably assuming they'll be released as DX Chogokins -b.

    Yeah, I'm sure shipping by boat is perfectly fine - I mean global commerce and all of that, not to mention your own extensive positive personal experience. But for MY Kaneda's Bike, helllllll naw lol More re: EMS, I have a few items with a handful of vendors leftover from last year that have been waiting for EMS, I think I'm about to start reaching out to see where my stuff is, and if/when they ship how long they take for items like SH Figuarts. -b.

    No problem! I was wondering the same thing, I was here and I refreshed the thread a few times to see if anyone was posting...but nope, total ghost town. -b.

    HLJ opened about 3:15/3:20 AM (don't remember exactly, but 3:25 is when I received the Order Confirmation email). I got the orange button a couple of times at AmiAmi, then I got the Account Restriction notice for literally an hour straight. Via mobile and laptop. -b.

    🤪 will do! -b.

    Gotcha. Just to clarify, The Boys is on Amazon Prime, I was trying to say that I would not compare Jupiter's Legacy to anything coming from Disney - mostly because Disney could easily outspend everyone on the shows that they produce for Disney +. Anywho, I truly hope the show or property finds new life on screen in some way shape or form - especially for those that enjoyed this. -b.
  12. Kanedas Bike
    Fair, production values and "looking cheap" are all very subjective terms. To me, especially when compared to The Boys (I'm not going to compare this to a behemoth like Disney+) the show felt...off. The best example I can think of is how US daytime soap operas look compared to shows that come on primetime. I guess if you know, you know. I will say that I was looking forward to this and wanted the show to be good and successful, but again, the characters just weren't very likable. Had they been engaging I could have easily gotten over/past how I thought the show "looked". -b.

    Hopefully US sellers will carry this one, HobbySearch instantly sold out, AmiAmi was a cluster from 3 AM until 4:30 AM (EST). HLJ and AE weren't bad. -b.
  14. Kanedas Bike
    Not for something that pricey, had some holdovers from Hobby Search that I shipped that way, worked out fine. -b.

    Adding my .02 to the EMS v DHL conversation, I recently shipped the 1/6 Project BM Kaneda's bike from Hobby Search, they wanted 31,147 JPY for DHL. Luckily EMS had just become available to the states again and it cost me 16,800 to ship that way. Granted it took 11 days, but I have zero complaints. I have another in HLJ's Private Warehouse and the current ask for shipping is 15,430 via EMS and 22,320 via DHL (FedEx is 26,200, but screw those guys, never use them if I have a choice). For smaller items I will absolutely stick with DHL, but for the gigantic min-fridge sized items like Kaneda's Motorcycle it looks like EMS is the way to go. -b.

    And also hope that renews... That kid makes me think back when I was a kid watching these shows, Transformers, GI Joe, Robo...Macross, Voltron and then Macross Plus as a young adult hoping and praying that I'd get some really decent toys to bring these shows/characters to life. And here we are some 20 years since Yamato burst onto the scene to Bandai making toys when they'd all but abandoned Macross. I don't even like the 21 that much, but I want one AND a VF-11. Plus (pun intended) they'll do it because there's money to be made. -b.

    It's not the notifications I have to avoid, it's the fact that I look forward to Loki as my mid-work week entertainment fix. That said, I'm going to try and follow your fine example and give it a shot, and there are a few shows I'd like to catch up on/start. And I do like the idea of watching episodes 5 and 6 back to back. -b.
  18. Kanedas Bike
    That's actually a pretty sound plan, I wish I had the patience for that sort of thing. I'm ready to time travel through the long holiday weekend and get to Wed already! -b.
  19. Kanedas Bike
    Fine, fine - at least a reissue (with new or preferably less markings 😁). There's always hope... -b.
  20. Kanedas Bike
    While I enjoyed WandaVision and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and care more about Wanda, Vision, Captain Sam and Bucky more as characters than I do Loki (who isn't a terrible character, I just like the others more) - I'm enjoying Loki SO much more. As long as they don't mess up the ending I can't wait to watch the series again. And I also like Sylvie as a character, she's as interesting in not more so as Loki is...IMO. -b.
  21. Kanedas Bike
    By the time this comes out it'll be time for a DX Renewal YF-19 😅 -b.
  22. Kanedas Bike
    When this first came out, I watched the first couple of episodes and the production values felt cheap. Even for network television standards. Plus even with the changes from the books none of the characters were likable, at all. That's all I needed to be put off from it. -b.
  23. Kanedas Bike
    Love that diagram, I've watched all of the Halloween movies having fallen in love with the original Halloween 1 and 2, but never really bothered to make sense of the continuity because of how messed up it'd become. Halloween II (1981) might be worth a watch if you have 90 ish minutes to kill one day. 🤣 - Still, infinitely easier than trying to keep them all straight by memory (for anyone that may have seen them all, or for anyone trying to understand the continuity). -b.
  24. Kanedas Bike
    Interesting choices...loved Beast Wars when it was on TV so I'm excited to see them make the leap to the big screen. If they give Bee his voice back that'd be an automatic win in my book -b.
  25. Kanedas Bike
    Yeah...suuupppper questionable plot/story beat right there. The part of the movie directly before that and just leading up to the climax are the weakest part of both films. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't ruin the movie, but for me was a real head scratcher on why Krasinski would go in that direction (no pun intended). -b.
