  1. Page 383 and 384. Lot of the posts from Friday afternoon to Saturday are missing. For some strange reason, some of the posts in Page 384 are repeats of what’s seen on Page 383. 🤷‍♂️ Weird thing is that the Mospeada posts I made at those times are clearly documented in my own personal profile page for the forum. But they’re missing from this specific thread. Very odd. EDIT: Looks like Page 384 finally corrected itself.
  2. I’m more of a Waterboy fan myself (just because it’s fun watching guys get absolutely destroyed on clean hard tackles). But OG Happy is right up there.
  3. Yeah, add me to the “Liked Happy Gilmore 2” crowd. It’s a little saccharine and cheesy. But wound up getting a bunch of laughs out of me. I died with the “more age appropriate” happy place montage, the Arnold Palmer joke, and Stephen A.’s ridiculously asinine hot-take. Yeah, ton of cameos and nostalgia bait. And I’m wondering if that Maxi Golf thing is a swipe at the LIV vs PGA golf stuff. But kinda fun to see John Daly, Haley Joel Osment, and Bad Bunny (of all people) making good contributions to the film.
  4. Throw it out in the ether. And less than 24 hours later, I finally get the shipping notice. Gonna be having some fun this weekend. 🛠️🪚🪛 EDIT: Is it just me, or are the pages for this thread acting a little squirrelly? Like, I'm currently not seeing @tekering's lovely homage pic of the Sentinel Legioss and Tread dual-wielding.
  5. So mean of him to use the poseable figure from the Legiosses, instead of that fixed pose one from the Tread.
  6. But would tariffs screw up the pricing? 🤨 Still waiting on the Item Shipped notification from Amazon Japan for the Tread.
  7. Just got back from the film. Surprisingly better than I expected. Like that they played on how flawed Reed is, having all that guilt, being too logical and scientific at times, and always thinking about worst case scenarios. Characters are kinda consistent with how you'd expect them to be, without being overly annoying. There's ribbing here and there, but there's still love underlying their interactions. Galactus and the Surfer were solid. Though, I do wish I had subtitles a few times, as I couldn't make out what Galactus was saying here and there. Old age and too used to subtitles at home. And as a dad,
  8. Bloody effin’ lovely!!!
  9. Please tell me everyone is just mistransforming the yellow array on the Tread.
  10. Very disappointing reveals for TVC. The gunship is definitely an improvement, but not enough to justify the US$450 price.
  11. Why not both? Playable stuff that doesn’t have a massive brick on the alt underside.
  12. I’ll be spending that weekend testing weapons fit, painting the stinkin’ fixed pose pilot to be Rey (among other things), and snapping comparison pics with the ol’ Toynami combo. And probably bringing back the ol’ moogle avatar.
  13. ^^There’s a good handful of folks that have commented about it. . . . And the circuit board look of the internals.
  14. Transformers aesthetic in full effect with all that under-kibble. 🤢
  15. A bit of an oddball is his collection: . . . And the cover that brought the song to my attention:
  16. ^^and to keep MIB.
  17. As annoying as it was, kinda glad Amazon Japan asked for payment upfront for the Tread. Didn’t have to worry about any changes in shipping prices or in the price itself in the interim.
  18. I think, if Pose+ had used these as references for their internals on the Legioss, there wouldn’t have been as much grumbling. We’d still complain about how it’d impact/compromise the whole structure of the vehicle. But the vitriol would have been slightly less.
  19. OR someone will see that you don’t need to lean into tropes and can see that there’s stories that can be told in this universe without centering on Jedi-Sith. Create well, thought-out characters with consistent traits. I think breaking up the season into 3 episode arcs was a brilliant concept and allowed them to not drag the story out.
  20. Just got the email too. Looks like I’m waking up the moogle avatar in about two weeks. . . . And the supplies have already been acquired and ready to mobilize after I spend about an hour futzing with the big boy.
  21. Is this massive thread necromancy? Yeah. . . but it’s the most appropriate thread for these. (The figures are almost all from the old 25th line). So for the longest time, my display had 8 of the Original 13 Joes that first came out when the ARAH line started in the 80’s: (Yeah, I know General Hawk had a different look for his first figure, but I’m including my custom bomber jacket version with the Original 13 crew.) But maybe it’s the wifey doing her own preorder madness and going to the mall when it first opens to “collectible” hunt. But I got the urge to buy and customize the last five of the Original 13: I’m sure there’s numerous reasons/excuses why I never got these final five before. But figured it’d be a fun little project to complete the Original 13. Massive props to HissHissFangFang over at the Hisstank forums. I definitely crib a few ideas from his massive detailed custom works on the Original 13. Four out of these five have some sort of customization . . . with Breaker just getting an additional uzi and some minor darkening of his facial stubble. More pics:
  22. My memory might be hazy, but I remember someone painting a Toynami Alpha in Macross cannon-fodder brown color. Don’t think I every saw one in the Skull-1 color scheme though. EDIT: Okay, it was a model, but the point still stands:
  23. Does it come with Scott looking at it lovingly and saying “Admiral Rick Hunter” 1,853 times?
