    exhibit starts Oct.24? or whole month of Oct? hoping for the latter so i'll be able to catch it.
  2. Major Focker
    thanks Scyla, that helps a lot. just to confirm, the Unite Warriors sets are roughly same height as Green Giant? (giver or take an inch either way). i found this pic, but i think Devastator is the Hercules one, which i know is bigger than Green Giant.
  3. Major Focker
    and i thought your answer was that it does include the city base. thanks anyway for the other info bits.
  4. Major Focker
    thanks. i meant this cityscape base though: if that will also be available at arcadia site, and links if possible. tochiro's link shows a square "simple stand" (簡易スタン) as per google translation. i'm thinking the fact they specifically mentioned "simple" might imply they are releasing (or at least considering) a "not simple" stand.
  5. Major Focker
    does this mean what i think it means? they'll release figures of the entire cast? sign me up!
  6. Major Focker
    i like where you're going i'd like the 1/350 even more
  7. Major Focker
    does it include the round cityscape base? or is that another exclusive sold separately? linky? thanks
  8. Major Focker
    i'm a bit confused with the different TF lines these days, so pardon the silly questions: - is Combiner Wars same as the Unite series? - are CW and Unite same "scale" as MP? basically, i'm looking to get a Predaking, Menasor, Bruticus, and Superion, that would be roughly the same size as Maketoys Green Giant. appreciate recommendations. thanks
  9. Major Focker
    hoooooovertaaaaaaaaanks! but not in 350 of course. btw, whatever happened to the 1/350 Monster?
  10. Major Focker
    yep. really bad.
  11. Major Focker
    thanks. looks interesting.
  12. Major Focker
    any interesting events in early October? if none, i'll try to move my trip to late September.
  13. Major Focker
    how about this then?
  14. Major Focker
    i'm hoping 1/18 or 1/20
  15. Major Focker
    i probably should check into my local asylum as well.

    out of curiosity, what are the differences with the Lancer previously available at SSM a couple of years ago? like 007-vf1, i'd also like a few in 1/144
  17. Major Focker
    yup, 1/350 would be great too. and 1/144. and 1/72. i'll take anything in those scales.
  18. Major Focker
    ambulance. the other vehicles have been done previously. but if you're willing to go a bit bigger:

    enjoying Gate, Gangsta, Shokugeki, Charlotte, Ushio to Tora, DRRR!!x2. not a bad turnout for the season, though technically, Shokugeki and DRRR are carryovers. have to backtrack on Working before i can start watching. watched first ep of Prison School. don't know what to make of it yet. i'm jonesing for more Kancolle or Girls und Panzer. and where the heck is the last episode of Kekkai Sensen?
  21. Major Focker
    damn, it's making me want to double-down
  22. Major Focker
    i've always wanted a Grendizer but not sure which model/version/manufacturer to get. i want one roughly in-scale or at least would look right-sized next to SoC Voltes V and Daimos. thankful for any recommendations
  23. Major Focker
    check out Gangsta. Black Lagoon meets Samurai Champloo

    i thought i'd be sitting out most of the spring anime lineup as most of the first episodes were weak. two that had relatively strong first episodes soon had me scratching my head why i'm bothering to watch them (Triage X, Gunslinger Stratos). another two (Denpa Kyoushi, Re-Kan!) were pretty ordinary, but at least they were relaxing to watch and had some heartwarming episodes. i'm glad i persisted though with these: Kekkai Sensen - undoubtedly the coolest show this season. a steampunk-ish New York, weird creatures, and a zany cast reminiscent of Durarara and Baccano; what's not to like? Yamada-kun - i wasn't in the mood for yet another harem anime. so i initially avoided this. turns out this was quite different. romcom? yes. but harem? no. it challenges the viewer to keep up with the body switching, then on top of that how the different powers can be overlayed or transferred. the puzzle-solving element is likely what got me hooked and the ensuing shenanigans sustained my interest. Owari no Seraph - at first i thought this would have a cast of toddlers and i actually dropped it a few minutes into the first episode. i resumed some weeks later when i learned that a second season was already planned even though the first season was barely halfway. that means it should probably be good, right? gave it another chance and liking how the show is developing. Shokugeki no Souma - who knew ecchi and cooking would go so well together? i haven't watched a cooking anime since Cooking Master Boy more than two decades ago. this new take on the genre turned out to be quite refreshing and literally works up my appetite for more. Punchline - possibly the most surprising anime this year. never thought there would be something more beside the pantsu! Dungeon ni Deai - hands down my favorite of the season. very simple and straightforward story, arguably formulaic, but they somehow made it really fun. i've heard that a lot of LN material was left out, but despite that i thought the pacing was good, with steady development each episode, and (most) threads tied up. i was none the wiser of what i was missing. the last 4 episodes were great, leading up to a very satisfying finale. everyone kicked ass and got their asses kicked in turn. and while the music got a bit too Star War-sy near the end, the score building up to the penultimate moment was superb; strings, horns, and even a syncopated gong that sounds like it has seen better days. add to that a beautiful duet of incantations that melded with the music. not just the words themselves, i felt the incantations were special since rather than the usual chest-thumping, intimidating variety, they were instead prayers of humility. gave me goosebumps even after replaying the last episode a few times. i'm thinking of a marathon rewatch this weekend and certainly hoping for a second season, unlikely as that may be.

    might be good to post on the first page a running list of members who ordered. just to make sure no one is missed out and/or double counted.
