  1. So quickly.....I mean it feels like last month was when season 1 came out but it's been longer than that just barely and here we are with so far a darker season 2. I giggled a bit. NEVER have I actually giggled on something Voltron.
  2. Well for starters the knight reaper that showed up in the final episode isn't even on the sticker sheet for hayate so that's a no go. But all the markings can be altered between planes without hassle as you'll have a separate set of stickers for color balance on the planes body. I completely goofed that on arads vf-31s and never noticed it. It's one of those things where it should be labeled on the instructions during assembly not hidden away on the back when you're all done. IMO the only stickers that should be left on the back pages are the markings, not the paint striping stickers.
  3. Thought I saw somewhere that since Messer's death and the series dragging had caused a shift in downward ratings.
  4. This sucked. This whole series was as big of a disappointment as I felt when they teased us with the first episode back in December and I totally called it. They just rinsed and repeated so many elements I've hated since Macross Zero. I may never trust Kawamori with his work ever again.
  5. all I can say is that the jars are normally Acrylic based paint and no thinning required for airbrushing which gives you amazing control on just how much paint you really want to put on your plastic. While spray can is laquer based and you have zero control of how much paint you want to apply on your plastic, it's just gonna come out in 1 hard spray which can cause some issues. And pricing....it's a better investment for the jars and an airbrush with paint that'll last much longer than the cans.
  6. this movie could be like dredd 2012. Hardly no buzz behind it or promotions, but when you go see it you go "WOW! this was actually pretty good." I mean think about it this way. The first movie wasn't awful, but it wasn't great, and turbo was just trash. So it's not like this one could fall further down from that.
  7. NO, this season needs to start now.
  8. Ugh they're making the Damascus blade sound like some holy grail when the berserker body would of been so much cooler.
  9. Hey so I had a question, I have the old Yamato version from....2013? Anyways, unlike the other manuals, this one didn't include ANY of the marking details of where the stickers need to be applied and that kind of bums me out that this thing has virtually no stickers. Did anyone ever figure that problem out or did Arcadia's instructions pretty much just give the same treatment?
  10. I've been building my VF-31S, do kind of agree something about this version of the kit does require some glue whereas Hayate's did fine. But the biggest stink I'm having with this that wasn't a problem before are the stickers. I might have a defective sheet as they don't seem to stay on as well as Hayate's stickers did. Infact the worst offender I have in this area are the ones that have to go on the shoulders. They don't fit in the slightest and they have little to no adhesive to cling to the plastic. Best thing I could do was spread a very light amount of glue on them and hold them in place for a couple of minutes. I think with that I have no desire to transform this kit at all and hope to god Mirage, Messer and Chuck's VF-31's do better.
  11. Well I think he also threw a bone to us old school fans who kept bitching about Megaroad 1 since we learned of it's disappearance shortly after finding Eden in the Macross lure. If nothing comes from that in next weeks episode I think we all need to look up in the sky, think of kawamori and give him the finger.
  12. I'll just wait for the Dutch synthetic to become a thing before I even consider buying these.
  13. Was waiting for the concaine to show up in that trailer.
  14. Super disappointing as it's only a 10 minute special. Was hoping for a new series : /
  15. something I noticed I'd have to double check but I think the back of the case stated that the film was presented in widescreen but it's traditional letterbox 4:3. After watching the restoration video I have some new found respect for doing what they did with changing the color palette back and keeping things darker in contrast, but I don't really like it all that much. I think I much prefer the tones and contrast of the DVD so it's a little brighter. The extras, yeah I'm a little disappointed myself, I mean 30th anniversary come on, you could get Peter Cullen, Frank Welker etc etc to talk a bit or something. Maybe we'll get something cool 20 more years from now, I don't know.
  16. I don't disagree seeing the toy gun laws around the world and the have to modification for it to come to the US. This is one of those figures that'll probably well sought for because hasbro won't release it even as an exclusive.
  17. I do feel like they really have a good design team the last few years on MPs. I actually just got my TRU exclusive star scream and I am rather disappointed. His fuselage won't slide down to finish the chest like its to tight. And there are horrific nub and stressed areas all over the parts. Sadly can't return him or anything cause I got him from a convention over the weekend.
  18. other than not pixelated subtitles I don't see what else could be improved between the DVD and Blu Ray releases. It's not like any of the Gundam shows we've received by right stuf are amazingly remastered.
  19. never really understood why commercials need to play on a streaming service you're paying for....it's one of two big reasons so many people cancel their cable and dish providers....1) We're sick of commercials, 2) We don't like paying for something and getting commercials. We buy enough crap as it is.
  20. fantastic! I just picked up my first hasegawa kit. Just a nice simple VF-1A Hikaru type. Very nervous......
  21. LMAO! That's gonna be some long ass wait time. Sigh......wish I could afford one these days....but nope.
  22. Both were crap. infact...........all of Aquarion is crap. I've been scratching my head on things Kawamori has done since Macross Zero. Why he's gone to this format of story telling is beyond me. I don't even know if it began with Macross Zero since I've seen very little of his stuff inbetween these points. I mean he nailed it out of the park with Plus. So I'm gonna say somewhere between Plus and Zero he lost his way.
