    Yeah. . . badly. I wonder if WandaVision and Falcon/Winter Soldier switched release dates. Falcon/Winter Soldier looks to be more in line with most Marvel fare (like a good killer opening song in an album). While, WandaVision feels like that trippy concept album that not everyone is gonna “get” or “like.” I wanna enjoy WandaVision, but it’s just not clicking. . . And I doubt they have a killer surprise like Hydra hiding in the midst of SHIELD. EDIT: In fairness, I did enjoy the homages to the comic book costumes.

    So basically,

    Dumb question: are the Arcadia preorders just as crazy, or is this just a Bandai thing? Haven’t really order any Arcadia products before, so just curious.

    B5 was starting to get its footing towards the end of Season 1. Curious how the story would have panned out had Sinclair’s actor been able to continue. Gotta give JMS credit for figuring out a way to pull off that change mid-story.

    One of the legendary 1/48 bosses comes out! Beautiful shots of your massive collection! Remind me to never get into a war of attrition with your Valks.

    Strike A Pose! revisted...

    Still my favorite VF-1 in the collection. . . though I should switch out the strike cannon every now and then:

    Eh, give Toynami credit for taking a shot at a new-fangled design. They made a working cockpit and included a pilot that still scaled correctly with their Alpha (looking at you CMs Legioss and Tread!). The cockpit/chest design is not the most elegant of solutions, but they made up for it with the poop-ton of rock-solid, ratcheted joints all over the place. I’ll always have a soft spot for Toynami’s big burly bastard Beta. But I’m curious to see what 10+ years of advancements can improve upon a Tread/Beta toy. Now that I have a Sentinel Legioss in hand, I’m wondering if Sentinel will design a slide-in/slide-out Tread cockpit that gets covered up in solider and fighter combo by more accurate chest plate. I don’t think a variation on Toynami’s fold down method will work with Sentinel’s Legioss design. But the fact that the Legioss feet are so compact already should allow Sentinel to make the Tread’s bomber mode less gappy than Toynami’s version.

    ^^There’s room for design improvements on the Tread (looking at you, cockpit/sternum chest area!). But the transformation process is relatively simple. So hopefully, that’s one factor helping to keep costs down.

    Except for the big glaring issue with the pin and stress marks on the Ride Armors, when something pops off on a Sentinel, I’ll freak for a second. . . and then realize it’s a quick fix to pop it back into place. I have a few Bandai pieces, and they are quality. But that preorder process is the absolute stinkin’ worse.

    After handling multiple Toynami Alphas, I really don’t have too many complaints about Sentinel’s rendition. Articulation is off the charts, design is leaps and bounds over other toy companies’ versions, and it can hold poses solidly. If they can stick the landing with the rest of their releases, we’ll have one company as the go-to for all our Mospeada needs.
  11. Mog
    Dumb musings: I think the Sentinel version will probably sink deeper into the Tread. The fact that the feet don’t extend so far past the boosters allows them to squeeze the two birds closer together. Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if the potential Sentinel Tread is a little “fatter” from top to bottom than the Beta. The Beta looks a little too flat when combined with the Sentinel Legioss.
  12. Mog
    So basically, the Legioss’ wings would become canards for the the combined fighter, right? Wonder where we’ve seen a fighter with canards angled differently than the main wings. . . Pic courtesy of Macross Mecha Manual. Yeah, it’ll be different from what we’ve usually seen with previous Legioss/Tread or Alpha/Beta combos. But let’s see what Sentinel comes up with. For all we know they may design the Tread’s wings with the same slightly downward angle as the Legioss.
  13. Mog
    So,
  14. Mog
    So, forearm embellishments and extra armor and ammo. . . . . . . . . . . . Like a TREAD?!
  15. Mog
    It’s CLEARLY to attach the Zentradi-sized saddle bags.
  16. Mog
    Peachy. Makes business sense, but still. If they never do a red Tread, I guess I could always repaint a blue one. But I suspect we’re still a few years away from even getting a Tread (with everything possible in their Mospeada pipeline). I still don’t know what the slots on the Legioss forearms are for. But it seems like obvious connection points for a Tread.
  17. Mog
    So between soon and vaporware, what’s the over/under on a Sentinel red Tread being added to this display: I’m thinking the over/under line is Summer 2024.
  18. Mog
    I’m surprised that was the season finale. Kinda was hoping for more of a resolution.
  19. Mog
    Not to . . . BUT Sentinel, please get Houquet’s and the Bartley’s color correct. Pink doesn’t match with the rest of your earlier releases, but this color (or a slightly lighter red shade) DOES:
  20. Mog
    If he’s only getting Houquet’s stuff, then the Toynami/Beagle would not be an option sadly. I’d say get both, but if choosing between the two? Go with the Ride Armor. Almost everyone’s done a Red version of the Legioss. But CMs smaller version is the only modern version of the Bartley Ride Armor available currently. Just pray Sentinel gets the color right.
  21. Mog
    Looks like they’re trying to mimic the color of the original Kenner releases. Not my thing.
  22. Mog
    I actually like the darker shade of red too. Yeah, yeah, I know Sentinel is not beholden to the anime. But there are scenes where the Zeta is shown as dark red. Something different from previous versions isn’t a bad thing. Initially, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the two-tone red either. But I’m enjoying the heck out of the Sentinel design so much that the two different reds doesn’t bother me as much. . . . Can’t say that about the pinky pilot though.

    “WHY AM I ON BRAIN DETAIL?!”

    Regarding The Expanse, I’m so ready for Drummer to start putting slugs into folks. One odd thing I noticed, I thought last week’s episode subtitled the edited message as

    Sh*t. . . Did I leave the keys in the bike’s ignition?
