Sadly MK II was gone, bummed about that. I managed to get a couple bucks knocked down on the Strike so I got that. It'd be really nice if there was something thinner than a tooth pick so I could apply just that small amount of silver into those Aile pack turbines. I feel like that's detail gone to waste in the mold.

That's a valid point, seeing how even the Crossbone manga series never saw the light of day over seas on English shores either. I picked up the Victory Gundam and that was a horrible mess. The rear skirt armor is stuck at an odd position and wont fold down into proper placing or anything, I've broken a piece of the back as well as I was trying to fix things and figure out wtf happened where did I go wrong? Sadly I don't think I can salvage this kit seeing how it feels like such a lack luster. It's so hollow and uninspiring as I'm putting it together and that's such a bummer. I went to the local hobby shop last night and they had the RG Gundam MKII, Strike and Freedom kits....I'm so super tempted to get the Strike or MKII. They DO have a Build Strike kit, but I can get it online after shipping for 50% less. I mean ya, who'd pay 55 dollars for a 1/144 kit like the Build Strike? Noooooot me. Funny too Cause the Fenice is there and it's 25 dollars, only 3 dollar difference from Amazon's listing with Prime. I dunno, should I pick up the Strike or the MK II for 41 bucks? To me, for what you get, a RG model kit at 40 dollars is a good price.

Gundam Live Action Movie In The Works?
Hikuro replied to MILKAUTICO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't think they'd do a representation of any previous show but a reboot of some sort while probably making it more Modern time-ish I think. Sorta like Gundam 00 was set in AD verse not UC, AC, AW so forth and so forth of some facticious era. I do hold some reserve though after the devestating appearance of G-Savior and how horribly done that film was. And Tekken and King of Fighters? Those were low budget films....I don't even think they saw anything other than Select Theater release didn't they? And besides, just because a Visual Effects team is going to sign on doesn't mean a studio has unless we hear about it on Tuesday. Who could it be? FOX? Nah, Dreamworks? .....That's possible, them and Paramount teamed up to bring Transformers, if anything Paramount would be the biggest supporter to bring this to light. DISNEY? That's a joke don't take that one seriously. Lionsgate could be interesting, they've had good films, not big blockbuster films, but stuff that at least made back revenue.- 20 replies

Almost Human - New SF TV series for next season.
Hikuro replied to taksraven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I've enjoyed the series, I usually catch it when it hits Hulu. But I notice they take ques from other scifi stories like the Magic Bullet is obvious to me matches Runaway starring Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons. Just minus poisonus spider bots.- 36 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread

I passed on Planet-X's Omega Supreme, biggest heaviest 3rd party to date sure, but the price was way to high for my taste. I'd hate to see what Trypticon would be priced out at.- 9420 replies

Gundam Build Fighters/Build Fighters Try
Hikuro replied to VF-15 Banshee's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
so many things I don't notice cause I'm reading subs, I hate that. The ones up close in your face I'm embarassed I didn't notice whereas the ones in the distance, that's pretty neat. I did notice SOME of the mobile suits that are in plain sight and on screen for a few seconds. Did NOT notice the G-armor with the GM unit inside. That was interesting.- 971 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Hikuro replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Granted, I'd really like HasTak to go back to Decepticons. The last NOT RETOOLED/MOLDED/PAINTED figure we got was Soundwave, and he's brilliant imo. But what about Megs 2.0? Or Galvatron? I'd almost like a triple changing MP figure like Astrotrain, granted, that'd be very expensive but if it's done well would make a killing.- 9420 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Hikuro replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think Warlord was their first figure releases. It's not bad, yeah, I don't think me paying almost 130 after shipping is right considering I'll have to touch him up and a lack of wrist swivle making him locked in those arm positions. that's kind of a bummer! .......But I'm repainting that gun barrel, and if i'm daring enough I'll be making those legs a bit darker. Eh......Seeing how I do need him so I have SOMETHING comparable for Protector....oh well. Better than what Hasbro gave us. And that even has a lot of the same issues! What's up with that?!- 9420 replies

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Hikuro replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I received Planet-X Caelus(?) aka Not Swoop. I'm not big on it for the price tag. total after shipping was 88 dollars and some change, it's the equivalent of a Deluxe figure with a simplistic transformation from robot to dino mode. Most of my figure is floppy except the right fist which I can fix I suppose with a screw driver. If it were about I'd say, 25 dollars less, this wouldn't be bad, I'd enjoy it. But it's not worth nearly a hundred dollars.- 9420 replies

Huh odd, I just got charged 8.90 (and lost my 1.10 credit) on the PSN I think for the Monthly Plus Account. Which shouldn't of happened seeing how I have year memebership already. I'll have to call PS customer service and ask about what the deal is cause if the Plus Account circulates through multiple consoles why did I get charged when I already have a 1 year?

Macross Frontier Movies BD Boxset WITH ENGLISH SUBS!
Hikuro replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
K, read what I said. I never said anything about European or Indian Region, I only said when it comes to Japanese imports my PS3 plays just fine. Seeing how Macross is a Japanese Region product, it'll play on my PS3 just fine. For European and Indian PS3's, I dunno, sometimes websites when you buy an import product will tell you flat out which Blu-ray players namely PS3's wont work.- 287 replies

Macross Frontier Movies BD Boxset WITH ENGLISH SUBS!
Hikuro replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yours is region locked? That's odd, my PS3 is about 4 years old and I can play and watch Japanese productions just fine and dandy. Hell I even watched 30th AV DYRL on it soooooo hm.- 287 replies

lol yeah, keep 'em away from UV light. the older the valk, the most likely it'll happen. I think my old 1/48 VF-1A Max had that issue.

I've owned a VF-0S and A, I had ZERO .......................................issues with my S, but 15 minutes into my VF-0A the head turret snapped off, then the bicep disintegrated after just 1 swivel during transformation. But again, I never had these problems with my S so i was pretty damn surprised. But ya, wasn't the only one who had those issues. If Arcadia does re-release the VF-0 I'll be excited and probably buy.

Sazabi Ver Ka is huge. it's about 2x's the size of a 16oz energy drink can (think of like Nos or Full Throtal in comparison) I dig the multiple layers on the legs, it's a very complex suit in general, but she's also just verniers with limbs.

Macross Frontier Movies BD Boxset WITH ENGLISH SUBS!
Hikuro replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
I think it really depends on your Blu-ray player rather than the blu-ray itself. I know in the past the cheaper the player you bought the more likely it's to be region locked, be it DVD or Blu-ray, I've actually encountered this oddly enough. I had bought the old 2002 Spiderman movie and my Playstation 2 was the ONLY DVD player that would play it. Our regular player kept saying it was out of our region. I exchanged it thinking I got a bad disc and sure enough, same thing happened. What was worse is the store I bought the dvd from was also were I got the player, but they really didn't give to Frakks over it. Now since Blu-ray has been out, and I own a multitude of players, PS3, PS4, Xbox1, 3 other Blu-ray players from SONY to Samsung, I can say that all my imported Blu-rays from Japan have played no problems, including my PS3 import games. So unless you got a cheap player, I don't think you're going to encounter an issue. Especially seeing how this is going to have english subtitles, Bandai is no doubt counting on the english language fan base.- 287 replies

I really do like what I did with the lil characters, it was worth picking up those tiny brushes at the hobby store the other day and coming across some tamiya flesh tone. Sadly though, I lost the shield symbol entirely so there's not much detail left to be put on. I HATE the Funnel's though, it isn't that much of an improvement from the older version either. However I do like the design of the suit overall. Now I can get back to work on my Sazabi.
