Lolicon

My most expensive toy purchase in awhile.

Got mine for free with my ill-gotten 23000 yen credit via proxy.

I haven't seen Zero in nearly 20 years. I thought Ivanov was vaporized by the bird human. Nora too. Because they're idiots.

Did Bandai actually fix anything or is this just the RNG at work? No, your cousin's best friend's mom's copy having a good tab fit doesn't cut it. Did Bandai actually announce any fixes?

Come on, who doesn't like the schoolgirl sailor uniform look?

Putting UN SPACY on top of Angel Birds like that is the aircraft equivalent of going to McDonald's, ordering a Big Mac, and then asking them to add a fried chicken patty on top.

Are Hayate, Mirage, and Borgfart the only AXs in the movie? Because if there are others, why aren't you releasing those, Bandai?

Welp, I've bought nearly every Sheryl and Ranka figure since 2008, so why stop now.

Agreed. That giant "family crest" style emblem looks like it belongs on the back of a VF-31, not something from the SDFM era of valks. Was on the fence on this one because it looks like a downgrade from my Yamato and I didn't want to pay that AE markup... then my friend in Japan texted me telling me he preordered one for me. I had forgotten that I had asked if he could also order me a copy of every TWE DX release whenever he ordered his.

I just ordered the Tomy 1/350 Enterprise and bought a PS5... Gonna need to let my wallet breathe a bit. That AE markup...

I'm in for one. Though I would have preferred the remaining hero units first.

Haven't been this unexcited about a new valk since the first Frontier valks.

Which they will never, ever reissue, no matter how popular or in demand it is. Because it's not Gundam and Bandai hates you for not being more into Gundam.

Yep. It looks like something out of an N64 game. Bandai is perfectly capable of sharp, crisp molding for this line (see Regult) but the molds for this and the VF-1 look like someone left them out in the sun too long. It's looks pretty low quality for its US $160 (plus tax) price tag.

I'm in for multiples if they release low viz variants like that!

I want that PF Tomahawk!

Ordered multiple Arcadia stands. They're quite nice and I regretted not buying more the first time around, now that yeti isn't around 🙁

Bandai actually printed Focker's 001 correctly. That's as close as we'll get to Bandai admitting they f***ed up with Hikaru and Kakizaki.

What's with the bent wings and landing gear? And why do all the details look soft and blurry like a screenshot from an N64 game?

Some old school goodness there! Roy looks like he's frozen in carbonite.

I think that looks great! You should do it. I don't think anyone else has attempted such a feat so it'll make yours quire unique.

I want a valk that can be displayed in all three modes simultaneously...

I would have preferred her UN Spacy uniform but I'll take it.

TNG is probably the second best series, after DS9. Not counting LD or SNW as they're still running. Agree with @derex3592 as Enterprise was starting to finally get good in season 4 when it was canceled. Voyager is probably the worst Trek series, IMO. Again not counting the new shows as they're still going, but Picard is seriously giving Voyager a run for its money and will probably surpass it in awfulness unless season 3 is just amazing. Discovery is a mixed bag. Some love it, some hate it. I stopped watching after season 3 because, while it's not the worst Trek show, it's not particularly good either. Of the many problems with the show, two of the biggest are the terrible pacing (nothing much happens for most of the season then everything happens all at once in the final 1-2 episodes), and the show's heavy focus on Michael, a character I simply do not give a flying f*** about. Apparently everything that happens in the galaxy always has to center around her. Prepare for Bakula to portray a stupid, petulant, and incompetent captain for most of Enterprise's run. I'm pretty sure he's the only captain who's been complicit in genocide.
