    Like a fungus... STLD and Prodigy are the only two things I personally consider both good AND canon, more so the latter than the former, imo, but heads and shoulders above any of the live action stuff, especially the laughably bad/intelligence insulting/horribly conceived and written/acted/directed/edited garbage that is the overwhelming majority of NuTrek. Much like STP S3, the people behind Lower Decks and Prodigy mostly got what Star Trek is about and had respect, even when engaging in outlandish parody, for the IP's legacy and did not aim to denigrate, undermine or corrupt it into some grotesque 25%-different mutant MESSAGE-cudgel version aimed at (attempting at) pleasing a miniscule portion of a niche fandom nearly impossible to please... only managing to drive away the legacy fans whose support the property depends upon for its relevance and financial health, as the cratering in merchandize revenues can attest. Hopefully, Skydance will do a much better job at curating Star Trek than what's been done over the past decade; then again, the hangovers known as Section 31 and Starfleet Academy are still looming, even if relegated to alternate reality dreck if the scuttlebutt regarding Lower Deck's final episode is to be believed.

    It's a fantasy flying brick booster/bomber that transforms into a bruiser robot... making sense has never been a going concern, with any of this genre that MW is dedicated to.

    Nope, it is that good... @Radioguy whishes to be in the running for re-giftee.

    Totally get where you're coming from; however, the super/strike parts don't transform into a badass brawler of a mech all its own...

    If we're quoting Star Trek, I'll paraphrase the 109th Rule of Acquisition: "Inane Klingon insults and an empty sack are worth the sack."

    Thing is, if the pudding smells rancid, tasting it to make sure, let alone swallowing it, is not a smart move...

    Once marketing is factored in, this thing is unlikely to even come anywhere close to breaking even, let alone turn a profit; it may very well turn into the biggest financial bomb in Marvel history, which after Quantumania and The Marvels is saying something.

    This is promising to turn out exactly as most have expected it would... Could it end up okay despite its insistence on "trying to ice-skate uphill?" Well, the chances aren't zero but...

    Why not?... It's worked swimmingly for Hollywood, comic books and the AAA gaming industries...

    That and a Brownie and I'm all set too. Hop to it already, Bandai!

    Nobody can (truthfully) deny that these movies are extremely well executed visual feasts.

    Ugh!... little to no originality left from the House of Mouse, and when they do try something new it's almost always dreadful.

    Everyone on the production side of this thing set out to create an intentionally off-putting and insulting anti sequel... they succeeded.

    Or, they were contractually obligated to produce a minimum of two seasons, just like Velma. Note that that particular abomination was unceremoniously canceled after the 2nd season was done.

    Star Trek has been turned into such a moribund franchise by this point, due to gross mismanagement and massively unpopular shows over the last several years that even main legacy characters, let alone obscure ones (see also Star Wars), will not sell in large enough numbers to justify the investment in warehousing space, let alone shelf/pegs at the retail level.

    Bad Shipping Fan Fic postmortem.

    Figured as much... "Você me compra" não faz sentido nem em Português. It's all good, we learn, in part, by being constructively corrected.

    Don't you mean, "you sold me"?..

    Well, I would not look askance if they were to reissue the Cavaliers version or decided to finally release an Alaska Base livery one and/or a Low-Viz; as for everything else VF-1, I share your sentiment.

    Thankfully, everything I preordered with them has been delivered but the humongous wait for the Dana figure soured me to ever paying upfront, partial or full payment, ever again; if/when they announce something of interest to me and I feel the urge to place a preorder, I'll go through BBTS or elsewhere... if it's delayed indefinitely, they completely flake out or just go under, it won't matter.

    Judging by the more colorful reviews available, not only did PRIME and everyone else involved learn nothing, they doubled down. Wonder how many of the 30% who bothered to finish the 1st season will come back for the 2nd and stick with it to the end... and, as I understand it, Amazon is contracted for five seasons of this financial hemorrhage.

    I'll third that sentiment but the wings do give me pause. I suppose the most efficient and stable solution would be interchangeable sets, one for each folding/folded state; also, given how thin they would be, the boosters, if included, would likely present some sagging issues unless the plastic grade of the boosters are extremely light or the ones for the wings that mount them are very tough/rigid. Regardless... BRING IT ON!
