  1. The reason for that big gap after the back of the cockpit is due to the shoulder sensor being stored under there.
  2. ^^Based on the pics in the link, yep, feet stick out way beyond the back in fighter mode. I know the Legioss/Alpha doesn’t exactly have the smoothest of bottom/ventral profiles. But yeesh, this thing is showing its Takara/Tomy roots with all that thick underside kibble.
  3. Had a feeling you might be adding a cantina. Looks good!
  4. What are you planning to add in that space, and are you planning to light that and the floor immediately below it?
  5. Are there blades in those arm gauntlets?
  6. This old rocking favorite popped up again on my YouTube mixes: Didn’t realize that the new Linkin Park singer was actually her.
  7. Yep, Amazon Japan’s shipping’s been fairly quick with minimal issues. Plus, the exchange rate has been pretty favorable to the US dollar. So, it was a no-brainer for my impatient ass.
  8. Pretty cool take on Ken’s theme:
  9. Probably have to look at their fine print about tariffs and the such. And about preorder prices (and if they can change the price due to increased costs on their end). Totally spitballing and assuming here, but technically, BBTS is bearing the costs of importing and shipping the goods into the US. Shipping from their warehouse to each customer would be the cost beared by each customer, right? Whether they decide to pass those additional shipping and tariff costs (getting the goods into the US) onto their customers would be up to them. Again, total speculation on my part. 🤷‍♂️
  10. So, I know I’m way late on this, but finally watched Logan Lucky. Fun little heist film with some low-key, surprisingly funny bits and scenes.
  11. Reads @jenius’s Tread review. Looks at the score given. Nods head in agreement. One little thing I’m not sure anyone has pointed out yet: the head of the Tread peaks out just a smidge ever so slightly up in combo mode. Not glaringly obvious. But it’s most likely due to the bomber cockpit being inside the chest for the combo mode.
  12. As mentioned in the Mospeada thread, the top part of my stand connector sheared off and got stuck in the Tread attachment. I put plastic bonder on it. And I added adhesive putty to the separate Legioss attachment point. After about a week, it all seems to be holding: The wing did wind up dipping to the ground, but everything seems to still be holding. Probably better to leave well enough alone, rather than try to tweak it more.
  13. ^^Customized. There’s a separate thread down in this section of the forum with tons of pics (including WIP ones) and probably an equal number of words, comments, and rants from me. 😅
  14. I shudder to think what price they’d toss out there for a Tread. The Sentinel and Toynami ones are already big bois themselves. We’d be getting into impractical sizes for a Tread at this scale. But despite some flaws, it’s minor miracles we got these well thought-out designs and improvements on the Holy Combo from Sentinel :
  15. Maybe they didn’t push the arm boosters down all the way. But they couldn’t make the tailfins bigger? Especially at this larger scale? Nose looks a little thick too.
  16. I kinda forgot about the Aoshima add-ons. Did you get a chance to finalize the windshield change on the Blowsuperior? . . . Personally, I wasn’t too bugged by Sentinel’s choices with the Ride Armors, except for hot pink Houquet and the overly-busy HUD lines on the visors.* But it’s not too difficult to address those issues (and change the color on two of the bikes’ windshields too): * I also would have preferred a slightly lighter blue for Yellow. But it’s not a deal-breaker.
  17. This comment needs pics. . . for context and clearer understanding.
  18. It did annoy the hell out of me that I had to take forever to download Mario Kart and then all the hoops and quirks to transfer data from the Switch 1 to the 2. Just want a quick plug and play experience and a hard copy of the game. Is that such a hard thing to ask for?
  19. Synchronized shooting:
  20. ^*So, the bike with two honkin’ retractable blades and a chest full of missiles wasn’t close enough already?
  21. I am today years old in realizing that General Zod also played Chancellor Valorum in The Phantom Menace.
  22. Superglue and baking soda didn’t want to hold. Had to step up to plastic bonder. Took two three* rounds (and some patience from my idiot self) but seems to be holding 🤞🏽. * The extreme angle needed for the Detolf required a third application. 🫤
  23. It’s the attachment for the Tread part, but the stand is originally from the Zeta (because it was a little stronger). I am putting it at an extreme angle. And I should have loosened the screws first. So, one factor for the breakage is: 😅
  24. So, I tried adjusting the stand without loosening the screws first. . . Don’t be an impatient moogle : Superglue and baking soda time.
  25. Yeesh! Hate being a perfectionist: spotted a couple of obvious spots I should have panel-lined. And then wound up doing a few billion paint and pen touch-ups too. Paint was still drying during a few of these close-up pics:
