I think this is the same thing that causes Alliance Roulette to always land on Crystal Tower. As much as I would like it to cycle around all 5 Alliance Raid Series, most people have only played Crystal Tower and Myths of the Realm, and New players will trade the later for Echoes of Vana'diel.

While it would be NICE to have my mods back, particularly the small QoL stuff like having notches on the targeting circle for positionals and having the markers be in a much less stylized font, the reason I haven't started is because my friend wants to clear P8S first. MSQ is more fun together.

I would wash any kits that feel greasy, Green Stuff and a Toothbrush. That sounds like a low-quality plastic release (keeps the plastic from sticking to the molds in the machines)

How's the plastic quality? With 80% or so of Gunpla releases being P-Bandai, I might settle for KOs if they're not being sold at scalper rates.

We're also getting that racing game thing. even if it looks like shovelware rushed out to attempt to recoup the losses of Reactivate's cancelation. I'll stick to Devastation, thanks.

man, I can't wait for Penumbra to come back. even though my primary mod won't work still because of the changes to character models.

I'm not denying that, it just feels very rare in comparison to the other offerings in a season, and it makes the bad entries hurt so much worse. I'm thankful for stuff like Sakugan and Bravern, but the bad stuff like Getter Arc and Kyoukai Senki just hurt all the more. maybe I'm entitled, I dunno.

Because Bandai is addicted to FOMO and needs an intervention. it legit feels like over half of their releases over the past 5 or 6 years have all been P-Bandai when they really shouldn't have been. Honestly, the most offensive of these is Probably locking these two behind the dreaded limited-release

I knew about Bravern, but I thought Grendizer wasn't for a while. What's Bullbuster?

We need more mecha. Both in anime and in the west. especially in the west. The last mecha anything from the west that I recall was...what? that awful Pacific Rim sequel? At least with anime, we get the occasional good Mech event, but it still feels unusually rare compared to say...Fantasy/Isekai.

No. They *all* die grisly deaths or go insane. or both. The only time they have happy endings is in Super Robot Wars, in which they're typically unlockables.

...The Japanese are goddamn weirdos and I don't blame that guy for trying to pretend Kiss Players doesn't exist. I'd do the exact same thing.

Honestly, I'm kinda torn. The toys were pretty rad, but the video game was skip on concept alone.

Currently me because I MSQ with a buddy who is currently not able to play. I don't mind waiting, cos there's other stuff I can do, like leveling the new Jobs.

She gets a Final Mech in Mazinger ZERO: Artemis A. Unfortunately, the pilot suit is a bit...obscene (It's a Mocap suit that is basically fetish gear. She doesn't like it, and neither do I.)

Technically they are, but they're in VERY short supply. The only two that immediately come to mind for me are Break Blade and Knights&Magic

was there at least good R&D stuff? Ernesti fucking around with the Knight Frames were my favorite parts of the anime.

Sounds like "Retailers have shit for stock" is an international problem and not just a localized problem. The unwanted stuff shelf-warms, they don't restock because they have to sell the shelf-warmers, so the desirable stuff doesn't stock, leaving old shelf-warmers that no-one wants. ad infinitum.

from what I understand, the Lego company deemed jointed legs to be a stability issue. though it does personally irk me too.

as someone who sat through it in both languages, yeah. It's so bad that Galaxy Force actively detached itself from the other two shows just to avoid being associated with Superlink.

There are tons of interesting Mecha TTRPGs on itch.io, and LancerRPG is a very common recommendation if you don't mind learning a whole new system.

If you wanna stick to the framework of D&D, there's Gundam5e.

or if you're completely out of your gourd and want to be cruel to your players, AdEVA

MEGAS XLR would be such a fantastic choice for an SRW involving time travel. Jumping back and forth between a hopeful Present and a bleak Future, the MEGAS Prototype could be the reason the main crew can take the fight to the future to save the present.

for all of the MEGAS XLR fans out there, Someone out in the LEGO community has built a Lego MEGAS, Glorft Mech, and Mecha MEGAS from "Dude, Where's my Head?". The instructions for all three are free to download and come with a full parts-list to buy off Bricklink!

I hope you like absurd comedy, because the Hildibrand quests are absurd and very comedic. Nashu's quickly become one of my favorite sidequest characters and you'll pretty quickly figure out why.

Naw. this is normal, even in a lot of retailers in the USA. It's just Retailers getting stuck with a bunch of shelf-warmers and being unable to put new stock in because the old stock is in the way.

One of the greatest fakeouts in Anime Advertising. They did not reveal a goddamn thing about Bravern itself, only the Real Robot stuff until the day it aired.

That sounds frustrating. It sounds like they wanted something more like Warhammer or Battletech, where everything is Militarized and thoroughly hopeless, where you wanted UC Gundam, where the innocent are forced to witness the horrors of war and reflect upon them to find hope in their world.

Originally, it was just the Oil Tanker for the "Reveal the Shield" figure. There's a Tanker for SG Prime and SG Magnus too. The upgrade set proved so popular that Maketoys made their own Core Robot to keep up with demand. First through a Nova Prime retool, then the Optimus you see here.

My issue is that characters like Mario, Optimus, and Garfield already have an immediately recognizable and beloved voice. Just hire their actual VAs instead of some token celebrity that sounds nothing like what we expect the character to sound like.

As much as I can appreciate this version of Laser Prime to being true to the original G2 design, my heart will always belong to the Maketoys Battle Sentinel. This thing is one of my Grail Toys and I just need to save up a bit more money to get my own.

Is this model really that fragile? I've been on the fence of whether to get this or the Super Minipla to toy around with on my office desk.

As much as I firmly believe Gaogaigar deserves a full english dub and a place on Adult Swim (Especially FINAL), the show is also a Seizure Machine and would likely require significant amounts of editing to be legal to air on US Television.

Honestly, I remember your positive reviews far more than your negative ones. Except that Superitron thing from Zeta Toys. that one lives in my head for the sheer "oof" factor.

It doesn't help that the only figures that I could find in my Retailers were the ones I didn't care about. I wanted the Deluxe Maltos, and all I could find were the Gimmick Toy Bee/Prime and the Deluxe Megatrons that refuse to go away. I wish my retailers weren't so stingy about their stock.

Having seen a lot of images of this figure, I think I'll wait for the inevitable Slipstream redeco. The mold itself looks good, but the face bothers me. Maybe it'll do better as a Seeker?

I wouldn't be opposed to a review of SS86 Bee, just to see how different design teams handle the same character and same (or similar) alt-mode. But this desire comes not from wanting to see you bully WFC Bumper (we have PerspectiveEnd for that), but rather from comparing multiple Bees side-by-side.

I wish Bandai made reprints of the Minipla, because I'd love to get my mitts on the Gaogaigar Minipla line, but ebay and Amazon are totally dried up.
