    Bombusbee sent me a notice to pay.  $370 (minus deposit) plus $61 for shipping.  Came out to $414.  I'm going to cancel my preorder as the email says the deposit is refundable and I already have an armor bundle from HLJ arriving tomorrow.

    Holy smokes. I paid less than that with the "late fee". And it's going to be here today.

    You can get one on Okini for a couple bucks less right now.

    Hopefully some people with Luna Park orders had their tracking go live today. Spoke to their live chat and they said that half of their orders shipped out.

    I'm not one of the lucky ones.

    Mine is live and alreday in the States. Small chance I will get it today. Definitely tomorrow.

    Take a good look at Gendo during his flash back. His hair, his school uniform, younger face & love of piano. You'll also notice after his reconciliation that he was wrong to reject Shinji/Yui was always a part of Shinji/with him/etc something very interesting happens. The focus instantly shifts to Kowaru with Kaji handling his "interview." During the course of it, Kaji treats Kowaru exactly the same way he treats Gendo. We're even taken to Gendo's office with Kowaru sitting behind his desk being called "Commander Nagisa."

    Rebuild Kowaru's additional obsession with reconciling a happy ending for Shinji is called out as trying to find happiness for himself proxy through Shinji, which in itself is a bit strange since Kowaru fundamentally isn't much more "lived" than Rei.

    The finale has Shinji pairing the clone of his mother up with Kowaru, someone we now have some pointed evidence to be a clone of Glendora. Whether his soul is purely that of Adam, if Gendou & Yui have always been Adam & Lilith, or at some point during the repeated cycles they replaced the originals is still somewhat of a question mark. But now that we have negative realities being tapped into with Gendo & Yui each tapping into that power, it's definitely possible.

    And that's still not getting into how many times these events have played out on how many worlds.Yui didn't seem to get away with a spear to colonize another world this time, but we know she has before.

    Great series, way better than we expected. Robin Lord Taylor as Penguin is the best Penguin yet! ENJOY!!

    That's funny, I love Penguin! What a fantastic character!

    Which is all the more impressive because there are a LOT of really strong characters in the show. Alfred rocks (who wants a movie or TV series about his SAS days?). Gordon's p[artner (I can't remember his name) is great too. He says some hilarious stuff. "The only thing I'm scared of is decaf coffee".:rofl: "Don't make me lose one of good shoes" (referring to putting it in someone's butt.:lol:

    And no shortage of hotties.:wub:

    Nice! How much does it cost to commission a build if you don't mind me asking?

    I'm sure it's all over the place. This guy asked $200 but I gave him $300 and told him to have fun.

    But part of buying these kits is building and painting it yourself. 😁

    I have my own business. I'm FAR better off spending the time working. And my other hobbies already suck up too much time.

    This guy has won all sorts of stuff and paints for one of the statue companies for a living. Short version, he's good.:good:

    Is the YF-30 really that bad?  I've been trying to decide whether or not to get one.  I love the way it looks but am concerned with the issues it has that I've read about.

    I've got two. Love em. I don't transform my toys much though (hence having 2-3 of most stuff, one for each mode). If I want to transform something I'll grab a Chunky Monkey.

    Speaking of.......I need one more for Gerwalk.:D
