  1. So, is this another TWE for the 31A or a standard release?
  2. Just watched A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE. Overall, a good film, minus the ending. The ending gave me the following reaction:
  3. I prefer forums, especially this one. I've never met any of you in person but oddly enough, just about all of you feel like people I'd hang out with. Social media like FB was kind of cool in the beginning, now it's just a black hole of weirdos, bots, AI trolls doing their best to stir up anger & political division no matter what you post. I used FB for years for my Helmet business but deleted the entire account a few years ago, the SPAM and troll/bot accounts became more that I wanted to deal with. Twitter (not calling it the current name) was a dumpster fire by 2020, I can't imagine what it's like now. Instagram is decent but I pretty much avoid that one too. This forum and a few others have felt like a home away from home for years now, a major thank you to @Shawn for keeping MW alive & well. In the end this Forum rules, we're all a bunch of Macross, Anime, Sci-Fi, fantasy, toy collecting, model building, art loving fans, dorks, nerds and some cool kids mixed together. I'll take this every day over a social media site with billions of strangers and bots. Stay classy everyone!!
  4. Watched episode 1 of Welcome to Derry... so far, it's ok. Some shocking & creepy scenes but the creature that may or may not be Pennywise was a mood killer, felt out of place and not what I was hoping for. That said, I'm ready for episode 2.
  5. When I was a little kid, early 80's, there was a picture of KISS on the back of a SHOGUN WARRIORS comic my brother had, their faces in full makeup used to scare me then. Of course, later on as a teen working in retail (1994) with guys in their 30's, I was properly introduced into Pink Floyd, U2, Zepplin, Beastie Boys, RUSH & KISS. KISS has some amazing songs and a stage presence that dominated. RIP ACE.
  6. Hi all. just wondering if these parts can be 3D printed. I recently got super lucky with an Aoshima Legioss & Tread set. Sadly, the plastic on the Tread (oddly not the Legioss) has not held up over time or the factory plastic was a bad batch. Either way, these parts are for the back of the legs and used for Bomber mode. Both literally shattered with minimal pressure applied, they are glued back together for now. Crazy how my TOYNAMI Beta's have, fingers crossed, not had this issue. Any thoughts or suggestions?
  7. @xwing The "Beast" looks great, it's a good day to be a Mospeada fan right now! Also, the STAR WARS ROOM sign is a great touch. That stairway in your house is giving me flashbacks of a place I rented back in Reseda, CA years ago. @Mog The Red Tread is underrated, and more pictures are always welcomed!
  8. I've never read the Stephen King novel, does this RUNNING MAN trailer appear more accurate to the book? In the original film everything appears to be solved in a few hours, not being on the run for 30 days.
  9. Newly acquired Aoshima Legioss & Tread. Just a quick pic. @jenius Your YouTube & Anymoon reviews are spot on for the Aoshima version, I've only had the Toynami's prior and while this toy has its own QC issues, this Legioss is wielding two guns, arms up, legs locked in place because of the ratchet joints and hands that actually grip. I am thinking of either a Low Vis Navy custom or Maia's Alpha/Beta combo. RT Shadow Chronicles was a dud, but her color scheme was awesome IMO. However, finding her decals or stickers would probably require customs to be made.
  10. Watched the movie THE SUBSTANCE on HBO tonight. Take a dash of the Overlook hotel from The Shining, Smeagol & Gollum, Carrie and possibly Requiem for a dream (ending sequence). Demi Moore wants to relive her youth, and it comes at one hell of a cost.
  11. If this truly becomes a reality, Michael Mann will have no choice but to include a shoot-out scene just like the original in that "extra loud" blanks are used outdoors, around buildings for that blistering echo effect and causes the movie theaters & your eardrums to rumble... otherwise, don't bother. While HEAT is 30 years old now (where did the time go?), it's possibly one of the most acclaimed crime-dramas ever made and that shootout scene in downtown LA is legendary.
  12. The first 6 seasons of The Simpsons was legendary IMO. After that, it wasn't really the same anymore, very hit & miss with one good episode and one mediocre. The Simpsons movie 2007 was the last time I really enjoyed the show. By 2010, I stopped watching all together.
  13. By recycling the parts/molds of the 171 to use with this VF-17 release, that makes it way more cost-effective vs a team to design & engineer a completely new mold like a properly proportioned VF-17 or a VF-11B/C. Frankly, I would be way more excited to see a DX VF-2SS+SAP or an HMR VF-2JA, but that's just me.
  14. Thank you @Graham. As I said to @jenius, maybe one of these days Sentinel goes Dark with the Legioss & Ride Armors.
  15. Getting the CM's to stay on in Soldier mode is a total balancing act, in fighter mode it mounts much better. Makes you wonder if Sentinel will attempt the Dark Legioss?
  16. I figured since the Dark Legioss has a red censor, why not give the TREAD some red eyes too. And, yeah, it looks menacing!
  17. And that's a rap; I'm calling the Dark TREAD/Shadow Beta completed. Eventually this will go back in its MPC box, but for now I'll enjoy it for a bit. Again, a big thank you to all the members who helped out in making this project possible!!!
  18. Decals arrived this afternoon and they are currently drying on the Beta, those extra JB decals came in very handy. Thank you again for those.
