    Yeah, I'm crossing my fingers hoping that we see more improvements with Megazone 23. I've made my peace with Bubblegum Crisis. The blu-ray content is a treat to these old eyes, and that's what I'll keep coming back to. The perks weren't much of a bonus, true; I mean I don't have any use for the patch or coin and I agree that it would be cool to turn the clock back and get a mini art book or something more glamorous, but it is what it is. The up side to that whole situation is we didn't get a gaffe like we did with the old M2K DVD pressing: actual disc errors. That would have resulted in a backer riot.

    Yeah, that was a bombshell of a footnote. Classic Woodhead. Now my anticipation for his next crowdfunding project is up near Bubblegum Crisis levels. Looking forward to more news on the original Megazone OVAs, and (hopefully) some cool perks,

    Thank you!!

    Man, I fought long and hard for my CDJ order. I clicked the link as soon as I got their email update, and then the madness began when I went to apply points. It was hovering between 2 and 4 pre-order slots left for a while, but now it's officially sold out on the site. Bummer.

    Wish I knew. I'm 3+ hours on the east coast.

    third-party sellers only right now
  7. technoblue
    Where are you seeing shipped and sold by amazon.co.jp? I only see three sellers and none of them are amazon.
  8. technoblue
    Oh well. CDJapan is already showing their no stock error at checkout.

    Found this browsing around the 'net last night: https://brickformation.com The company is combining two things I enjoy very much: Lego and the Homeworld universe. The price to brick ratio on the first few Hiigaran ships is quite high, though. That said, I'd love to see more.

    Is it plausible that Arcadia will reissue the VT-1 and VF-1D? Sure it is. When will they do it? I have no idea. I'm thinking we'll be lucky if we get an official announcement before the end of the year with pre-orders for a release sometime in 2020. Of course, it could go down like the VE-1 with no one expecting anything and then (bam!) the news shows up.

    I agree that the first season was a deep study in not judging a book by its cover. Oh, and we have a second season on the way! http://www.darkhorizons.com/netflixs-umbrella-academy-gets-renewed/

    For amazon.co.jp (or any Amazon site), make sure to verify that the item you want is shipped and sold by Amazon. It will note that in the listing. This happens with other lines like Macross and Transformers too. If Amazon runs out of pre-order slots, then the listing defaults to third-party sellers and third-party sellers come with a number of caveats, like higher prices, no price protection, and shipping restrictions (beyond amazon.co.jp's own restrictions). At the moment, Thanos and Iron Man are showing pre-orders for third-party stores only. You can keeps tabs on the listing to see if Amazon gets more pre-order slots. Cap, Widow, and Ronin are still listed as shipped and sold by Amazon.

    Hi. I bought my copy of Takara's MP-36 from Anime Export back in the day. I had no issues with US customs and AE didn't add an orange plug. I picked up MP-36+ recently from Toy Dojo, which is a domestic shop in the US. No orange plug from that shop either. I think domestic shops in the US and Canada add the plug on a store by store basis, with some stores following closer to the letter of the law than others. Not sure how tough Canada customs would be with MP-36; however, if you are curious about the packaging, then you can check out this thread on TFW2005. It has some good shots of the official Takara box and the plastic clam shell showing Megatron in bot mode with his accessories. https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/masterpiece-megatron-mp-36.1104543/ KO packaging, like that from Infinite Transformation is similar (Megs comes in bot mode).

    Thanks for the pic, @M'Kyuun. That’s a very clever mini build of the Regult. I wonder what set that printed piece for the “eye” comes from, or if it is custom? I also like how the blue round disc pieces were used to add the color accents on the Regult’s cockpit.

    HaHa! This is awesome news! I love the direction Bandai is taking with this line. Even though I would have been happy seeing TV Roy up front too, it’s nice to see them change it up with Max—so unexpected. Seeing a complete TV squad at this scale will be a very cool thing if they go all the way and give us Kaki and then Roy.

    Sweet. I’m really curious about the mall setting, and whether this season is going to have something of a Day of the Dead vibe.

    Thanks for linking that @sh9000. I really enjoyed how they integrated the music into this series, and both dancing scenes (this one, and the one later when the show was focusing on Luther and Allison).

    Hi-Metal R

    technoblue replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    I’m thinking most places will ship this weekend, even NY who normally takes a few days to change orders from ‘preparation in progress’ to ‘shipped’ status. Let’s ignore outliers like the 31A. So the positive take away here is that the HM-R VF-4 seems to be releasing on schedule.

    Go, go, go! HLJ is live!

    Bandai DX VF-31

    technoblue replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Yeah. I'm starting to see the appeal of the armour in fighter mode too. I'll have to get one...but that's it (until the next colour).

    Very slick, kanedaestes and Tking22. I'm still waiting for my copy of the Lego Mustang to arrive in the post. Might be able to put it together this weekend if I can set aside some time.

    My comment was more about whole starships and I wasn't implying that it was a common practice just that we do have canon instances where Starfleet property is hijacked/stolen for ulterior motives. Off the top of my head, Galileo II, the USS Reliant, and the USS Enterprise come to mind. I try to forget about poor Galileo 5. I'd like to think that Picard was softening up somewhat as his career went on, unless you bring up anything to do with the Borg. Then all diplomacy is off the table. That said, I do agree that the new series will have to give us a good explanation for why he is hanging out with these two new characters. Even with his late-season TNG proclivities, I don't think he would choose to go cruising around the universe willy-nilly with just anybody.

    Or starships.
