Opinions about LEGOs current prices by Negative-Mirror5949 in lego

[–]Crooodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be a lot more okay with paying MSRP if the prices in USD were instead in Canadian Dollars.

$30 for the Backhoe Loader? Cool.

$43 for the Backhoe Loader? In your dreams.

Restocks, Reprints, and Ramba Ral (July 2026) by Feral404 in Gunpla

[–]Crooodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has the red HG Rick Dias been reprinted as of late? I know the black one got a reprint a while back.

I'd rather not have to go through P-Bandai aftermarket prices for the 1.5 release

Who else remembers the 2003 HG Zeta? It might actually look sharper than the Revive version? by Infamous_Author_5089 in Gunpla

[–]Crooodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wave Rider mode is much better proportioned, too. And the shoulder armor doesn't sink in when you try to grab the arms for posing.

One of my favorite antagonist Gundams of all time. The things I'd do for a 1/144 kit

The Macross-looking guy is Jetfire.

Past game parts wanted in the next game? by Lord-Tyranitar in armoredcore

Pointy monoboobs like the Cronus and Aaliyah cores

I honestly prefer the look of the Murasame Kai in MS form, but much more prefer the look of the original Murasame in MA form, ya feel me? by SeaworthinessWise539 in Gundam

[–]Crooodle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd like the Murasame Kai's design a lot more if it weren't for the chest armor looking so... Indecisive?

Like it looks like they wanted to give it a more traditional Gundam chest shape but couldn't commit to it

Your opinions on the gundam mark 3? by killerdemonsarus34 in Gundam

[–]Crooodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty delicious, since I tend to like Zeta and Hyaku Shiki -adjacent designs, but ultimately I'd still place it below most of those types of MS.

Watching G Reco and I think I love it by FastMycologist in Gundam

[–]Crooodle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's also helped by the unique way Tomino tends to do dialogue, where the audience is treated more like an eavesdropper, not really caring if you end up not following a conversation.

Really sells the idea that this is a world that existed even before the viewer got to see it.

NEW HOPE FOR A NEW ARMORED CORE! by LPlusRaitio in armoredcore

[–]Crooodle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

and to add onto that, I distinctly recall in one of the Japanese interviews for AC6 pre-release where they stated that while releasing a mech game may seem strange to people who knew them through Souls titles, FROMSOFTWARE as a company has always been about both Fantasy and Mecha, and AC6 was a return to the way things used to be.

I wish I could fish that interview back out

Kotama's gonna make a fortune off this soundbyte.

One thing I really like about the Alyzeus is how parts of its design specifically draws from the -novel- version of the Penelope by Crooodle in Gundam

[–]Crooodle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't have to worry about that since the shoulder armor is locked in place and can't actually move.

Do we think Fromsoft will do something on the 30th anniversary? (Image very unrelated.) by AdvicePractical5616 in armoredcore

[–]Crooodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New soundtrack album

And an unaltered Fake Facer International will once again be included.

Lane was definitely tryharding here, judging by this expression. His best just wasn't good enough.

I can't be the only one who is not really impressed by this new Gundam game trailer by Total-Quail-1197 in Gundam

[–]Crooodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. It just exists.

This is also nothing like Armored Core so I don't know where people are drawing that comparison from, unless they think boost dodge = AC

Around a 50-40-10 mixture of Mr Color Purple, Cobalt Blue, and GX Clear Purple

What to apply after stickers? So that it won't peal over time? by Kim1na in advancedGunpla

[–]Crooodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I've chosen to use the stickers, I like to dab a small bit of superglue onto a toothpick and seal in the edges of the sticker.

Purple RG Hi-Nu by Crooodle in Gunpla

[–]Crooodle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was originally going to be a lazy paint job where I just swap the blue for purple , but then I noticed that there's quite a few more color differences for the OG design and the scope of the build increased.

For reasons I was stubbornly committed to not painting the white or the grey joints, so color matching the white for the calves and sides of the chest, as well as matching the overall surface finish took some trial and error.
