    That, and you make the money printers go brrrrrrrrt!!!!!..... Sadly, I don't think we've yet seen the extent of the price hikes coming our way. Many of the hobbies that help keep our collective sanity on the positive side of the ledger are about to get a whole lot more expensive.

    That would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath; pre-ordering these things would certainly be less dramatic, stressful, and frustrating though.

    Maybe the vast majority of the blast was facing away from Qo'noS, with the subspace shock-wave closing up to propagate in full force beyond the planet; what remained of Praxis acting as a shield protecting the Klingon home world from suffering the full brunt of the blow, but not enough to prevent the ozone layer from being stripped away... energy akin to a CME of gargantuan proportions or a nearly dead-on GRB inside of 500 light years. Admittedly, a very convenient set of circumstances to deliver the results shown and stated in the movie.

    Least repugnant is an apt description of it, and absolutely NOT worth the price of admission given that it still suffers from all the tiresome BS that passes for entertainment over the past 10 years or so, but there is no need to throw good money after bad or even torrent the dammed thing; it is available in near real time as the episodes are released, and archived thereafter right here. All SW animations can be found there too.

    It's the only new crop "Trek" show, although being a tongue-in-cheek cartoon built on mocking Trek tropes, that feels even remotely like actual Star Trek.

    To be honest, I wouldn't mind magenta, so long as it is a dark red-biased magenta and not the eyesore we got with the Zeta.

    Hi-Metal R

    Overall length of cannon is 192.0 mm +/- 0.5 mm The barrel, by itself, is 130.0 mm long.

    Definitely interested in a couple of those.

    A modern re-imagining of the Thunderfighter along the same lines as the Viper MkII would indeed be sweet. My problem with reboots/remakes is that, Battlestar Galactica 2004 aside, they may end up looking good to great but turn out mediocre hollow shells of the original, saddled with post-modern one-sided politics and in-your-face social commentary/propaganda with all the vacuous subtlety of a sledge hammer.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    mechaninac replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Same, with two exceptions: a VF-31A and a Sv-262Ba... I won't hold my breath for either, but a tiny bit of hope remains.

    One final soaring leap into the wild blue yonder. Let the angels be made aware and rejoice, a maverick is about to smash his way into their eternal ranks at mach speed.

    An end... hardly, but a seismic shift in how movies are promoted, released, and viewed, and the subsequent reinvention of the theater business model -- of those that survive the bloodbath, that is -- going forward... absolutely!

    I'd be interested in a set as well.

    Different US states impose wildly different sales taxes, some varying even within an individual state itself. Being accurate is not being pedantic. But no worries, I can see how making a correction on a forum, without the benefit of context or nuanced expression, can come across as unnecessarily obsessing over minutia. And we've all been guilty of jumping the gun absent of proper caffeination.

    There is so such thing as a US Tax. There is a possibility of being charged a State sale tax depending on where in the USA you live. I got charged ￥25,273 for the Roy + ￥3045 Priority shipping.

    AmazonGlobal International Shipping (Priority)... whatever that means.

    ^ Thanks Dobber. So, most of them, including the Raiders (2004), are 1/33, with the MKII being slightly over-sized at 1/31, the MKVII a bit too small at 1/36, and the Raptors a tad worse at 1/37... those are margins of discrepancy I can live with, which opens a whole new can of money siphoning worms.

    Quick question: Are the Eaglemoss Vipers in scale to each other, or sized to their respective boxes? I just got the MKIII; it's an impressive piece with a satisfying size -- looks 1/32-ish -- but if I'm to buy the other models, I'd like to know how they compare to each other scale wise. Tnx

    Urgh!

    Lisa got delivered by the Zentraedi yesterday...

    My 2 cents on the VF-0D composite image, to improve what is already a fantastic effort: Add a subtle soft translucent glow to hint at lit engines, and a blur effect to simulate exhaust heart distortion trailing the nozzles.
