Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII
renegadeleader1 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
If the Boulton Paul Defiant breaks your brain you should look up the Bell YMF-1 Airacuda, a twin engined pusher "bomber destroyer" that had gunner positions in the engine nacels in front of the motors. The USAAC had a squadron's worth of these things operating with the USAAC/USAAF at the start of the war before those in charge realized how much of a deathtrap it was and quietly removed them from service and scrapped them all two months in. If you need more obscure WWII aircraft there's also the B-32 Dominator which was the backup from Consolidated should the B-29 fail, and the Brewster SB2A Buccaneer a dive bomber so terrible the Navy and USAAF chose to send most of them directly to the junkyard for scrapping rather than use them as trainers or target tugs after they failed miserably at those jobs. Probably one of my favorite obscure aircraft is the Curtiss-Wright AT-9 "jeep" trainer. It looks like a cartoon come to life looking a half used toothpaste tube mixed with a Japanese style super deformed Beechcraft Model 18. It was deliberately designed to fly like crap so as to simulate adverse flying conditions brought on by battle damage. -
Street Fighter - in theaters October 16th, 2026
renegadeleader1 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That had one of the goofiest endings though with M. Bison resorting to trying to run over Ryu with a tractor trailer and a shoryuken freeze frame.🤣 -

He's playing one of Capcom's joke characters Don Sauvage. Think Snoop Dogg mixed with 80s wrestling manager Jimmy Heart with Apollo Creed's wardrobe, and is for all intents and purposes the tournament announcer. -
Are there any relatively cheap Votoms available right now that lean more towards toy to be played with than $200+ collector item?

Post Skywalker Saga Star Wars Movies
renegadeleader1 replied to jvmacross's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The cynic in me is saying watch Star Wars Starfighter not be about starfighters and space combat, but be some Bloodsport knockoff fighting tournament set in the Star Wars universe.- 404 replies

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
renegadeleader1 replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
So basically how I got X, V, and T. Well, at least I won't have to jump through hoops switching regions to get the DLC like with T, which is odd because X and V had their DLC unlocked with the physical editions.- 7006 replies

And what's the alternative? Doing the same stale crap over and over again until you become a parody of your original concept and rebooted into oblivion? Because that's where we are now, and what every franchise you mentioned turned into. Aliens may not be a horror movie, but it at least innovated over the original and was able to stand on its own.

Aliens looked at the original film and did the logical thing by asking "How would actual trained military people handle an Alien and how would we make them an even bigger threat?" Then ran with it. After that every attempt since has tried to rehash the original film's horror aspect or done a stupid creature feature VS mashup and has been terrible. I do find it amusing though that you whine once again one of your spoilers about putting fans in charge of franchises and then heap praise on Alien: Isolation which was 100% a product of putting fans in charge of the franchise.😆

Mog’s Last Custom Mecha Hurrah. . . Most Likely(?)
renegadeleader1 replied to Mog's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
This is the point when most people open their own hobby/game/comic store.😆 -
As of right now there's five different versions of Cobi's Phantom II out or soon to be released. F-4F Luftwaffe F-4S Black Bunny F-4N Midway Mig Killer F-4C Robin Olds F-4M/FGR.2 RAF I'm really hoping for a Jolly Rogers at this point.

They're expecting a bump in subscriptions so they're trying to draw subscriptions out over a couple months.

There's always Cobi if you need something cheaper. They're a great display piece if remove the pilots.

So four and a quarter lego X-men jets?😆
-
Good god it's beautiful. Now this is something I wouldn't mind dropping $400 on, which means the MSRP will be $750.
-
I remember the shooting model they used in the show couldn't support it's own weight and all the shots of it were done with it upside down.
-
And that's specifically why I'm never getting it at $400. This thing should be $250 tops, but lego and licenees gonna price gouge.
-
Well, the Lego purists asked that I create a new topic for any building block set that isn't Lego, so here we go. Got the Cobi F-14A Tomcat Top Gun movie tie in today alongside the Mega Blocks XF-14F GI Joe set with the bonus HISS tank in the mail today. It's going to be interesting to see how they compare once I get them put together. I might kickstart my youtube channel with it.

Before I post something, are third party bricks like Cobi or MegaBlok allowed in this thread or should I start a new thread?

Freedom units please.😆

Marvel Studios Fantastic Four: First Steps
renegadeleader1 replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I agree. The movie isn't bad in any way by any means in regards to acting or effects, but the plot? I was bored out of my mind watching it. So damn predictable and it doesn't help Galactus is a garbage tier one note villain. Silver Surfer was very meh.- 133 replies

DC Studios Superman - July 11, 2025
renegadeleader1 replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It's because it's the current world event causing controversy. I'm old so Israel Gaza wasn't my first thought, but Slobodan Milošević, Serbia, and the wars in Kosovo and Bosnia with a generic IndPakistania stand in for those two later places.- 165 replies
