    Final episode is this Wednesday, so far, I have enjoyed this show. Hoping the finale ties everything together.

    If I've ever ordered directly from these guys before I don't remember, so we'll call this the first time & the verdict is, pretty damn good packing. I like the little corner protectors, that's a nice touch. Overall, no damage and my "Not Jetfire" box is in solid condition. Man, it's 1985 all over again & I love it. I think I've told this story before (Sorry if it's a repeat). Back in 85 a week before my birthday I was at a Mervyn's dept. store when they still sold toys and there were stacks of Jetfire's, I wanted one so bad. My Mom told me, wait & see what happens on Christmas (I was still at the age of, is Santa real?). 6 days later on Birthday I unwrapped my box & it was a Transformers Jetfire... still the best gift ever! Seeing this box art, the toy, the armor, man... actual happy childhood vibes today. Apologies in advance for all the pics.

    Just the box alone looks awesome, I hope mine was packed that securely. My "Not Jetfire" just left customs in Chicago this morning, should be in Kansas later today. @tekering So did you just get one of these or are a few more on the way?

    So... We just watched HORIZON An American Saga on MAX. Yep, it's a 3-hour plus movie that isn't terrible, or the worst film ever made, but it is no Dances with Wolves or Open Range, films that Kevin Costner clearly thought through from start to finish. HORIZON has a lot of faults, above all is a weak script & dialog, way too much back & forth, one minute you're in Montana, then Wyoming, Western Kansas then Apache territory & back again & again & again. Also, too many characters that don't really matter... like, you don't know them on any personal level, the final frustration is the last couple minutes of the film, it feels completely out of place. Kevin Costner's character & the female costar he's with almost plays out almost like Tom Selleck's character in "Quigley Down Under". (You either loved that duo's chemistry or you didn't.) Cinematography & costumes are top notch, no expenses spared there. The musical score is decent but hiring Bear McCreary, John Williams or Hans Zimmer would have been a better choice. In the end, it's a 3-hour movie where lots of things are happening, but it's so incoherent at times it makes it hard to stay focused. Maybe Part 2 will be better at putting the pieces together but, I'm not holding my breath.

    This show is really good. Vince Vaughn is a total delight and the story gets your attention right away.

    Is this new release uncensored? If I remember correctly, the last Blu-ray had some of the violent scenes cut.

    Another fantastic review video from @jenius

    Because he served in the 505th PIR (Parachute Infantry Battalion). As written above... "that was the first name that came to mind".

    Hey all, 505thAirborne comes from my father's uncle who served in the 82nd Airborne during WWII (after seeing Saving Private Ryan research into my families service records began), that name became my username when I had my Helmet restoration business on eBay back in 2007, so when I joined up that same year here on MW, that was the first name that came to mind & well, here we are all these years later. As for my Avatar, that is Eunha of both Gfriend & VIVIZ. As far as I am concerned, she is the true real life Galactic Fairy.

    Same here, I'm looking forward to this one.

    The first of @jenius YF-21 videos!

    Cool, I wasn't sure if anyone had seen this yet. Either section works for me.

    I just saw this on YouTube last night & the animation is really well done, surprisingly this was not made by a Japanese company. I wasn't sure where to post this though it is considered a "Short Film", so Mods, do your thing if this belongs somewhere else.

    I just paid for mine, I almost forgot I PO'ed this "Not Jetfire" VF-1 forever ago... and now the waiting game for delivery.

    Thanks @Duke Togo, I wasn't exactly sure what was happening at that moment, makes sense now.

    If you liked Emma Myers as Enid on WEDNESDAY, you'll really like her in this series too.

    It's possible with the constant increase in production costs not to mention a factory with solid QC, Sentinel is probably still weighing in if it's worth it or not to build a Tread. I have a feeling that despite those who really want one, the inevitable price tag will scare off the majority. I'm still wondering if Sentinel will take on a Dark Legioss/Shadow Fighter one of these days, not to mention a matching Ride-Armor.

    I sure hope it's as good as the 1st season!
  23. 505thAirborne
    Agreed, PRESUMED INNOCENT is really good.
  24. 505thAirborne
    I'm starting to feel relieved I passed on this Valk, I love the VT-1 but broken stabilizers out of the box & other QC issues on this thing... and I agree with @Chronocidal on this Valk & the DX YF-21 with its QC issues too, luckily mine didn't have a broken antenna/head laser but it does have other fit problems, not acceptable at such prices. I'm glad I have my two YAMATO VT-1's, with the shoulder replacements, they're rock solid & no exploding parts.

    Yeah, I saw that first listing last night while browsing Mandarake and it showed in stock, in the time it took me to login into my account, it then said SOLD... that was super fast!
