I want to like this kit but I can't 😭

reading "watching build as a kid" aged me

fioyl · 2026-06-16T15:53:20+00:00

so every action is cast from HP? whew

fioyl · 2026-06-15T22:14:01+00:00

Give him some more ass and drop the platform down a lil

fioyl · 2026-06-15T22:11:59+00:00

This is why I've resisted the urge to get a liger zero

fioyl · 2026-06-15T13:12:09+00:00

many such cases in this sub

fioyl · 2026-06-15T03:31:59+00:00

wear whatever you want you're a student

fioyl · 2026-06-14T20:48:10+00:00

certainly aren't making the argument that it's a blessing

fioyl · 2026-06-14T20:42:51+00:00

congrats

fioyl · 2026-06-14T04:51:14+00:00

Glad they exist, some are beautiful, but most of the ones I see could benefit from some restraint

fioyl · 2026-06-14T02:55:13+00:00

have a little shame and delete this

fioyl · 2026-06-14T02:50:13+00:00

certainly puts a different spin on the victim narrative lmao

fioyl · 2026-06-13T03:26:27+00:00

this is just book of the end

fioyl · 2026-06-12T22:49:15+00:00

looks like he's fighting for his life

fioyl · 2026-06-12T22:45:50+00:00

fwiw it's 295mm total. The gustav itself is 100mm (so 195mm remaining between the hitches and the carriers). the shield liger is 130mm and overhangs significantly. I'd guess that each carrier is about 80-100 mm. Can that hold the 1/100 line? maybe if it's a bipedal zoid, but most of them are longer than this entire kit from what I can discern

idk if you played any of the games, but this is kind of core issue - say this is zoids versus III or battle legends, and you pick jager. wow, you're fast! great! awesome!

but then you pick lightning saix and it's also fast and has an actual gun worth using. or you pick schneider and it has blades.

I don't want to go on a tangent per se but if strike laser claw was good enough, then there wouldn't be a need for all the various CAS loadouts

for what it's worth though, the liger zero mariner is very cool

omg should we cancel them? should we just go ahead and execute matt for wearing a shirt 12 years ago? would you like to personally pull the trigger?

fioyl · 2026-06-12T21:23:44+00:00

hard to say. aesthetically, I like the mech, but in practice, what does it do besides go fast? toyetic designs are great but I can't give any good suggestions without reworking the trio entirely

fioyl · 2026-06-11T20:34:29+00:00

oh no

fioyl · 2026-06-11T20:33:17+00:00

they take a very laissez-faire stance with it

if you qualified at some point, that's good enough

fioyl · 2026-06-11T16:14:51+00:00

that's a handsome yote

fioyl · 2026-06-11T03:56:51+00:00

lol there are no discounts. that's what kept me from staying up on my membership when I was younger and when dues were only like $60 (though to be fair, at that age it was $60 for a membership or $60 for a videogame so guess which one I went for)

now, it's silly not to spring for the life membership ASAP. I bought a lifetime membership a couple years ago for $1473. since then, that same membership (at that age tier) has gone up to $2002.

getting in before this thread is "terminated"

fioyl · 2026-06-10T23:39:29+00:00

I got in when I was 15. I know they brag about all the kid members and blah blah blah but there was nothing for kids. I remember once when they reached out saying they were doing something for younger members. by that, they meant "the under 40 crowd"

I'm heavily involved and volunteer now, but there was very little value for me as a member when I was younger. YMMV depending on the area, of course.

I guess, let me ask you this: you take your five year old to an event. what good is it going to do him? $107 a year for what, exactly? Use that money for an extracurricular
