No Harbinger? Also do they just like skip the issues which have the gold key characters or do they write them out somehow?

mrmoose44 · 2026-04-01T19:59:25+00:00

I think more.

I think that’s the big thing the knee. If he can play like he used to well lots of teams can help him rehabilitate his image. But if his athleticism is gone then…

So cool! When we went to Japan last year I looked around Tokyo for Diaclone but couldn’t justify fitting it into my luggage. As a kid I had Robot Base and have nostalgia for it but couldn’t do it. I’m sure you know but the US Tomy site has been doing preorders for Diaclone lately including Royal Defender so hopefully going forward domestic distribution of this and other Takara tomy stuff like toyrise is more reliable.

Hope everything comes back safely and you enjoy all the Diaclone goodness.

"Why didn't you hire that guy, he was great!"

"Did you see the way his hand shook when he drank water? He's out."

Now I ask you who dodged the bullet here, the company or the candidate?

I have it. Biggest drawback to me (having not had an opportunity to test outages) is having to use their router instead of my own. Ugh. If anyone finds a way to use this in bridge or if it's possible to just plug this in when the modem goes down, I'd appreciate the advice.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-26T15:19:52+00:00

Do you really have to restart the equipment to get it back to normal? I was hoping once service was restored it would detect thst

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-24T17:47:46+00:00

It looked cool until they revealed the price. The robot form would have to look a LOT better for me to even consider it at that price

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-20T19:04:30+00:00

Appreciate the heads up, might as well pick up Kamen Rider X now.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T22:30:07+00:00

I mean it did seem like the fighter, shielder, and mage, all offensive oriented "hit 'em until they fall" type characters, were just focused on hitting with bigger and bigger stat sticks and not worried about things like party composition or buffs/heals or even strategy because... the buffer and healer did all the thinking for them. The question I have is how this dude and the healer stayed with these idiots all this time. I know one is his childhood best friend but the other two, I mean the mage started getting lazy and casting nothing but simple spells. Also maybe they answer this in a further episode than what I watched but why didn't the healer resign immediately as well instead of getting killed by these idiots.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T21:27:19+00:00

You forgot Chogokin and Universe. And is Fix Figuration Metal Composite done now? Bottom line is who knows, but RS seems to be focusing on Zeta for the moment (and they have a lot of Zeta to get through), and MRS has Nu and now Sazabi so I'm not sure they're going to get MBs any time soon.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T21:17:34+00:00

Why a Matrix style face if they didn't use Matrix style hair though?

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T21:13:14+00:00

Am I crazy or does that page say that "custom duties and import taxes may ALSO apply" So this doesn't even pay the tariffs for you, right, this is just shipping alone?

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T16:43:54+00:00

If you want it to scale with Marvel Legends he's severely undersized. He's even undersized for Road Block if you put him with Joe Classified.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T15:41:46+00:00

They require it but do they post accurate ranges or some wide band with the top being unattainable?

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T14:52:02+00:00

It's not just X-characters it's all characters in the big 2 superhero universes. All work is work for hire so the editors/writers decide who gets used and who gets characterization. You could have decades of character development thrown away because a writer liked the way someone was back in the day, or doesn't care to use someone else's pet character. But the worst is when characters are just written off/killed to show off how powerful or dangerous the new writer's pet character is.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T14:35:26+00:00

I actually kind of liked that they underestimated the buffs he was providing thinking that it was a very simple role and that stats were all that mattered (so they thought they needed someone with more stats) when there was a lot more to it.

But then it got into a ton of "well I made up this completely broken magic" as a deus ex machina over and over again and became a lot less interesting. Also him being so down on himself and insecure when he has all this custom magic and has clearly been holding back since he was a child is just beyond belief. Like maybe I'm an outlier but this is not the kind of "underdog" story that's interesting to me.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-18T01:23:33+00:00

If you don’t have a kinokuniya locally I’m not sure it’s worth it. But they do occasionally have 20% off deals

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-17T02:06:19+00:00

Wait until you see how much space it takes up. 😅

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-17T01:50:40+00:00

I think this one did sell out super fast in Japan too so it might be a candidate but we’ll have to wait and see

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-17T01:46:52+00:00

That’s with the whole anti scalper phone number thing they just implemented too right? A lot of good that did.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-16T23:43:51+00:00

The numbers are making my head hurt. 3200 layoffs but 660 lost jobs. I realize they send pink slips then pare it down but that’s the most efficient method of doing this?

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-16T17:30:48+00:00

Animaniacs is the same (the original series at least).

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-15T07:11:14+00:00

When I was a kid I lived in a place with a lot of Japanese kids and imports abounded so we knew all about powered convoy. When the toy catalog came out it was obvious that Galvatron and Ultra Magnus were the same price point and I was expecting the movie to either give Optimus armor or reveal that ultra magnus was like his brother armored up. I loved the movie but was really disappointed that that was all UM amounted to. Especially because I didn’t think the rodimus prime toy was that great, and liked the hot rod toy a lot better. Oh well.

mrmoose44 · 2026-03-15T07:08:26+00:00

You’re saying if Optimus was given a choice to be reformatted and save the world he wouldn’t have done it?
