Except its not the whole line as they have not done a single Inbit. Even if you just mean cyclones its not complete as there is still Sue Graham

Shinobu Takeuchi.

Edited for accuracy.

Voltron's the wrong color, and the VF-1 they have in the line up is all sorts of messed up.

I don't think anime accuracy was the point.......

Oh, you think delays are bad now. The supply chain just got 5x worse than we have seen for the past couple years. Batten down the hatches, stock up and pt on your patience caps kids. It's about to get a LOT worse.

This toy is really something special. Fantastic design and execution......

As an engineer I have to completely disagree with this statement.

The design/execution is not good at all (design includes materials choice). At best it's a 4/10. Any product that has frequent breakages, things popping off and or transforming toy that is very, very fragile is a design failure.

It's not that they were unable to design something that doesn't break, have parts pop off, etc. The technology and materials are there to do it. They chose to say "That's good enough" and sent it on its way. That is a failure in design and the desire for customer satisfaction. 

And they are grossly over priced (they retail for Bandai DX VF-1 money).

If any of us bought a house, car, appliance, bicycle, etc, etc designed and built to the same standards we would call it a pile of crap and return it.

What they have going for them is that they look neat and someone put out almost the whole line of Cyclone's. That's it. If that's enough for everyone, great. I'm happy you're happy. I on the other hand couldn't stomach what you get for your money.

Toughed it out until 1:45am and finished Ozark. Canceled a few meetings in the morning.

I thought the ending was pretty solid.

Ozark...at the end of the first episode of the new season (second half) how many of you were yelling at the TV....

Hopefully they're running a test to see how many people dislike the B plot.

Anyone else watch the finale of OZARK?

Not yet. I'm waiting until I can sit down and binge it. With mountain biking season in full swing finding a chunk of time I'm not riding or recovering (sleeping) is hard. I REALLY want to watch it though!

It sure does seem like it's been a long time since the last VF-1 release.

Oh yes, I definitely did that. With all the catalogs that had toys in them.

I once worked at a Toys R Us over the Christmas shopping season. Needed some extra cash to help pay for school. I wasn't fully prepared for how horrible the parents would act, towards the employees and each other, as they tried to find the popular toys for their kids. The kids themselves were great, and it was nice to see their excitement as they wandered around the store. The one real perk of the job was that the manager let us set aside items we wanted as we were stocking the store each morning--as long we weren't too greedy. Got some nice stuff that way, but since I was saving for school, I missed out on a bunch of things.

KB Toys in the mall was pretty mellow. I think I was 16. Just hung around mostly. Crappy parents don't stick out in my mind.

Can you imagine working for a big store during the Cabbage Patch craze?

I used to work at a KB Toys.

I think Outer Range is going to be on e of those things that pays off in the last 5min of the season. Which I generally find annoying if I can't go right into the next season. Assuming there will be a next season.

I just slightly cackled upon seeing the mockup of the Spartan Laser. I would be tickled if that actually got used at some point.

I was trying to figure out what real guns they used for the base of all of the guns in the room in that scene. I didn't come up with much. Maybe a couple M-60's?

Got one for $225.88 shipped no tax through Kappa. Seems too good to be true. How easy was that?

Really good episode today, easy 8/10 for me. Pretty tense episode, solid pacing, and best of all, no B plot at all. I hope the rest of the season keeps up with this trend and pacing, this was a solid episode. 

Yeah, that was awesome. I don't know if I have ever seen a show go from garbage to pretty darn good in the span of two episodes. Fingers crossed they keep it at the level it is now.

This sounds SO BAD......that I want to watch it!

I've gotten as far as episode 3, where they come upon the "Domain of the Sisters".  Episode 2 is a nod to Jurassic World and it's less than stellar thinking.  Season 2 is sorta feeling like Amber Heard was allowed to drop and in and visit the bedroom.  

NF sure seems to drop the ball when it comes to second seasons.

I joined Paramount+ for Halo but stuck around for 1883, it's a unexpectedly good mini-series.

Oh, forgot about that. I put it on my watch list because of your recommendation. I'll keep Paramount until I have watched it.

Yeah, I have a backup order there, but in the end backups of this one weren't really necessary.  I'm fine letting both of mine ride a long while.  After the Hayate release, I was kind of indifferent if I ever got my backup from LP as well, but they wound up coming through.  

Yeah, I'm pretty indifferent on this one (and my second Hayate). Bummer.

New episode dropped last night. Going to watch it tonight. If it doesn't get any better I'm canceling my Paramount+ subscription and I'm out.

With the low quality of movies/ TV shows being pumped out these days I'll just assume they will ruin it. Especially since there is a horrible track record of reboots. And anime adaptations.

-Ghost In The Shell?

-Cowboy Beebop?

-Robocop?

-Ghostbusters?

-Star Trek (Chris Pine)?

Mine is at LP (Languishes in Purgatory). I don't expect to hear anything for a month.
