    I repainted my Hikaru 1/55 Strike to a Roy by hand when I was 10 years old.....regretted it ever since, lol! With the Bandai DX series, I think I'll wait, haha!

    Binge watched the entire 2nd season the other day, liked it, want more. I like this series, maybe I'm easily amused but I didn't find myself bothered a lot of things that seem to irk others here. Maybe it's old age, maybe it's the sleep deprivation (have two screaming kids, the 1.5 year old doesn't want to sleep until 3am every night), but I was able to binge watch it without getting bored. The only thing that irked me was how quick the last episode came and because I wasn't paying attention to how many episodes there were in the season, it was a total surprise that I got to the end so quickly. Going off topic a little here, but I never watched the original TV series, ,l but I really liked the 1998 film. I found it really cool that Dick Tufield, the original voice actor for the Robot reprised his role for the the 1998 film. I was reading some of the plot for the original series and was pretty surprised how close the 1998 film followed the original story. This series is quite different in many respects, but is still enjoyable. Toby Stephens as John Robinson....hard to imagine he was Gustav Graves in Die Another Day. He was also pretty awesome in 13 hours. I'm not good with faces, so this whole time, I thought he was John C McGinley (one of the Bobs) from Office Space, lol!

    Her staff looked like recycled bits from Maul's saber.

    Combo of the awesome build plus photography skills.....definitely gave the illusion that the set went on forever....I was guessing maybe 10ft x 10 ft at least, lol!

    Now I can't unsee this....

    I'm wondering though, Roy's in his DYRL flight suit, but Roy's 1S never appeared without the Strike pack in DYRL right?

    Apparently the full-scale release has been green lit for 29Jan20 http://www.hcj.jp/vf1/home.html?fbclid=IwAR1NA15QYXVgSZtZw_HMuy48uYvMxw4AcFQnL1Tq9KzWwDrbjkl3tu4PIok

    I read somewhere that this is actually happening
  10. peter
    WTF, we can't make fun of M7 anymore? When did this happen?
  11. peter
    Oh, just talking about the trailer.
  12. peter
    Yeah, the DX 1J didn't have them and neither did Max, so I figured they might include them in the DYRL 1S, but they didn't They also left out the little skull decal by the canopy.
  13. peter
    WTF, I can't watch this in my country???
  14. peter
    See?? The vertical lines in the chest intakes are there on their 1/35........ Where did they go on their 1/48? Yamato did them, but Bandai didn't. Are they not line-art accurate?

    Apparently the LGBTQRZXYFTHGJKUVH community were dissapointed about the lack of representation https://nerdist.com/article/rise-of-skywalker-queer-representation-abrams/

    Just watched it, I liked it. Not hard to find something bad in anything. Just went in expecting 50/50 chance I would hate it (heard about time he mixed reviews) .....turned out I liked it, didn't waste my money or time.

    Looks like they were planning on including a standing pilot figure at one point in time? Probably axed that idea since the pilots are too small and scrawny, lol!

    I don't know a lot about Air Force, but in the Army, nicknames can be the worst. There's a guy in my unit who got the nickname "Pubes" and he's been stuck with it for almost ten years. Look into the Weapons Banter thread for the backstory.

    I like Wotafa's reviews, so does my kid, lol!

    They look good, except for the mounting bracket for the boosters. I realize it puts a lot of strain on the backpack in battroid mode, but I just prefer the cleaner appearance that Yamato did in their 1/48 line. The way the DX mounts looks similar to the Yamarcadia 1/60 line. I understand that the storage/vs detail has already been discussed, but it kind of blows that they didn't include any detail under the leg armor, nor any micro missile detail under the front end of the boosters. I ordered a set of these, so I'm already in, but I'm definitely going to hang on to my Yammies after seeing this. The DX with strike kit without a doubt looks awesome with all the tampo and other details, and I accept that it is a superior toy in many respects, but it will never be able to do this:

    Watched an F-18 pilot review of the trailer.....he mentioned something that I'm not sure is actually true. He said that it was his understanding that all the flying in the movie was supposedly real, then he got to the shot of the F14 and did not confirm whether it was real or not. Was what he said about all the flying being real, true? He seemed unsure about the F14 scene. Or maybe it was real footage, but from before their retirement and just enhanced for the scene? There's no way they got one flying again right? Would be sweet if this movie was just a teaser for F14s coming back, but I know it's just wishful thinking, lol!

    Weird seeing him clean shaven.
  23. peter
    Or he's going for that used, battle worn look. Never heard of that guy who painted his AR and threw it down his driveway?
  24. peter
    I think I've read too much. Going to watch it this Thursday, guess I better stay out of this thread for a while, lol!

    Need smaller wings and micro missile pods. I saw a beautiful custom Hasegawa a few years ago in Hobby Japan that looked spot on from that DYRL pose, but yeah, not a toy.
