I'm glad that all the new Star War movies are being done by different directors, because it opens up the possibility of one being directed by Lars Von Trier

Rey, so-called Mary Sue, hit a black man in the face with a pole because a malevolent chirping soccer ball told her he was a thief.

I'm just disappointed that we didn't get Rey working on and then flying an XYB-wing. We could've had toys and an X-wing mini and all and she'd have shown her prior skills blah blah. But mostly look at the lost merchandising opportunity.  Pyrolocutus posted:Look at these nerds calling Daisy Ridley a "twink".

Isn't it against the law to suggest Ridley Scott direct anything sci-fi ever again after Prometheus I'm actually sort of excited to see Rian Johnson's take on the franchise but it certainly won't appease the fans who disliked the "quip-speak" (I think that's what they called it in the CineD thread?) given how dialogue tends to sound in his movies, especially Brick. My ideal Episode VIII and IX directors: George Miller and Shane Carruth, respectively.

Prometheus was a perfectly good movie and there's nothing either particularly great or wrong about Ridley Scott as a director.

No, really. Just because you hate the message doesn't meant it wasn't an artfully constructed film with a coherent message. Now, getting irate because that message is "Ridley Scott thinks you're an rear end in a top hat for wanting another Alien film" is reasonable, but don't confuse it for being a poo poo film.

In the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the Gundam was made out of lunar titanium which was a tremendously stronger material than what other MSes were made out of at the time. Suits prior to it were made out of alloys of steel. Robots in this storyline continued to be made out of titanium alloys for about 40 years in-universe until somebody made a ceramic composite that was cheaper but lighter (because beam weapons didn't care about how strong your armor was, but being faster allowed you to avoid them, and ballistic weapons had grown out of favor). expertly done, thank you Dr. Phildo posted:All I'm hearing is the negligence of parents letting their dang kids crawl over rusty gundums. If not rusty, then there's still sharp bits.

Ashcans posted:Regular Gundams are 1:144 scale, right? So you could use N scale train accessories. They would be a little small (N is around 1:160) but it wouldn't be too bad. If you use a bigger model you could also look at HO (1:87) or O (1:45) scale train stuff. Stop tempting me sir. Actually no keep tempting me. Are there any militarty boats or planes that would also do about 1/100 or 1/144 scale? I am thinking of a scene of loading Mobile suits into such things. It makes me surprisingly happy.

1:100 for larger planes is expensive (like, Games Workshop expensive) it seems. The only cargo plane I've found so far in 1:144 is also expensive, but you can get a cheap-ish 1:144 Air Force One.Zark the Damned posted:They make these which are kinda close to that size, but would hang of the edge of 40mm.

LordAba posted:Keep in mind the "over christmas" part involved the Betrayal of Calth boxset which I can't see not selling well. Age of Sigmar tanked them as Fantasy was never a huge loss to them. There's been a lot of debate about how well Calth actually sold. Did anyone actually buy it who didn't want a cheap 30k army? I'm not convinced that's enough, especially when I'm sure plenty of folks just use their 40k Marines for 30k. No one except for turbnonerds could even tell the difference anyway until you get to the weird dreadnoughts or whatever they are. Even my FLGS billed Calth as "$$$$$$ of Forgeworld sculpts for the low low price of $$$!" which 1) is not strictly true, and 2) who cares in the first place?

They're toys, not model kits, but I think Assault Kingdom figures would suit your needs nicely  They're two to three inches tall, fully articulated, ten bucks each. They even sell them at Barnes and Noble.
