Solo: A Star Wars Story, in theaters May 25, 2018
mechaninac replied to Dobber's topic in Anime or Science Fiction

I just hope that the eBay seller from whom I pre-ordered, who has a 98.6% positive rating, comes through... I only want one 31A so I'm refraining from ordering another at this time; however, I would hate to miss out or end up having to fork over exorbitant amounts for a copy on the secondary market.

^ I read ya; but to be fair, Figmas and Figuarts and Mafex are also around that price point. Ordinarily, $15-$25 would be far more reasonable for 1/10-1/12 articulated figures, but limited production volumes and licensing costs, etc., play major factors in the final retail price.

I just cancelled my HLJ preorder for the 31S DX, so the Order Stop status might change for them to unload the freed up reserve.

I have no idea if that typo/misspelling was a simple mistake or intentional, but damn, given the context of what you're referencing, it's absolutely, hilariously brilliant. Nastalgia: Noun -- A penchant for desiring something from the past that is universally recognized as utter crap. A lack of good taste in anything considered vintage so long as what it depicts is something from a fondly held memory. Love of bad stuff from one's youth. Nasty nostalgia.

^ Yes, but that scene was ambiguous enough that there was a lot of speculation regarding its significance, or whether that was her in the flesh or as a force ghost. This last episode resolved those questions... and created whole new ones.

Of those, the only one that looks even remotely "decent" is the Miriya figure, and only when compared to the other four; so, this observation is far from a ringing endorsement on my part. This whole line is an easy regret-less pass.

Success at N-Y for at shipped price that ended up lower than HLJ's before shipping, and with the confirmation email received I'll be cancelling my HLJ order later. That's a wrap. Good night to everyone.

HLJ and done, unless I can snag one from N-Y in the next 1/2 hour or so. HLJ is the perfect choice for a hold-over due to their ease of cancellation.

Got the following email from N-Y today concerning the Ray type MOSPEADA Ride Armor: You have received a new message regarding your order #****** " We are contacting today regarding this product : RIOBOT - VR-052T Mospeada Ray We've just got the confirmation that the release date for this product was changed. Initially the release date was on : 2018-03-31 The new release date is now on : 2018-04-30 So, what is this, the second month long delay? I can't complain too much about the Ray being pushed back, yet again, as I won't be charged until release is imminent, but I ordered the Stick type with AE (and this is the reason I almost never buy off AE... up front payment) which means I have to wait another month, I assume as I didn't get a message concerning that item, for something that is paid in full and holding up two other items that have been released so that everything can be shipped together. I do hope that the delays mean that these toys will be flawless... more likely, they've been encountering a slew of production problems.

Well, tonight's episodes were... trippy... And the final episode is next Monday. I'm going to miss this show; it is, to me, the only current visual story-telling part of the property where the true "spirit" of Star Wars exists.

Awesome job, but -- this is not a jibe at your work -- I find the placement of the anti-personnel gatling gun absolutely hilarious.

They look like, maybe a re-pop, of the old Imai 1/15 single mold Ride Armor kits... like these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genesis-Climber-Mospeada-1-15-Scale-Ride-Armor-VR-052T-LeyType-Model-Kit-IMAI/253430793398?hash=item3b01a704b6:g:UH8AAOSwHTpZzRYc https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genesis-Climber-Mospeada-1-15-Ride-Armor-VR-041H-Blowsperior-Yellow-Model-Kit/253435849306?hash=item3b01f42a5a:g:WswAAOSwCXxZqZgl

So the second half of the last season debuted tonight, did anyone else catch it? I'm not going to divulge any spoilers, but I will say this: the first episode's climax was a ballsy move by the writers on a "kids' " show... consequential and emotionally impact-full, bravo!

STAR WARS Merchandise Episode - 2
mechaninac replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
for the B-Wing. As for what's left from the OT: 1/72 TIE Bomber, 1/72 and/or 1/144 Lambda class shuttle Tiderium, and maybe Rogue One's (It's in the time frame) 1/144 AT-ACT and Krennic's command shuttle in 1/72 and/or 1/144 and a 1/144 Zeta class cargo shuttle and a 1/12 assault tank commander, and I'd love to see them delve into the capital ships... 1/350 or 1/700 or 1/1000 Blockade Runner, 1/700 or 1/1000 Nebulon class frigate, etc. -

Unregistered SAL, which, as experience would have it, usually takes an average of 3 weeks to reach me in the East Coast. I've had things arrive in as little as 1 week (very rarely) and as long as just over 4 weeks (on a couple of occasions).

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
mechaninac replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Oh dear, that's sad to read; and it's looking more and more like maintenance f-up where someone forgot to properly torque the bolts that secure the main rotor head... the final report will tell what actually happened and why, but it doesn't look good.
