    You have nothing to do with my interest in Renderform, it's been there for a while.

    I do not recall stating any kind of "not to be done list" either. It seems you've taken a lot of my statements far too literally and read between lines that aren't there.

    There is no hard science or equation for what does or does not interest me on a recording night. Fluidity, spontaneity, and what mood I am in are what dictate many of my choices. Attempting to mechanize what is covered week-by-week as far as even spreadings of coverage or 99% frontpage coverage will not happen at this time, as that is not conducive to a flowing and pleasant podcast.

    Actually, I'd rather that one is not provided, as I do not wish to see yet another episode discussion begin to revolve around one listener's line of questioning. This thread is about episode 170, and while I am okay with deviation here and there, this is one branch of discussion I want nipped in the bud right now.

    I was actually tempted to grab one of those Shinkenger SHfiguarts just to support it, in hopes that one day we see more stuff imported, but the reports of many stores selling out fast means I should probably leave it for someone who is actually interested in it.

    I'm super excited to see what is in store, though. I already slightly blew my mind when TRU started carrying Play Arts. Sadly, the only Kais they had were from Final Fantasy XIII, and they didn't sell very well here. Hopefully that won't affect future imports in the line.

    See, now this is the kind of quality work I pay to see. Or listen to. Whatever.

    More of this, less chitchat.

    My TRU had a solid row of them. It's worth at least checking the store... even more worth it to pick one up.

    Also, I don't have any real interest in it either, but it is a damn good figure regardless. I've had a lot of fun with it.

    Judging by supposed sales of McFarlane's Halo figures, I'm surprised that PAK Halo figures aren't at TRU either.

    I am tempted to get one of the gold ones if there are any around as they do look pretty cool, even if I don't do anything with it.

    considering my area I am sure when I get a chance one will be there

    I myself am still hesitant because I've kind of already planned out my toy budget for the next few months, with the S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla shipping next month and Prime toys right around the corner. However, if I can get my hands on more sufficient funds, I'll definitely look into at least Shinken Red.

    Although as far as characters go, I'm far more interested in Gokai Red. Seriously, a space pirate Power Ranger named Captain Marvelous? Who can resist that?

    Again, I know nothing about him besides what you've told me and I would buy him on sight so hard.

    Even better is that the mecha from that Sentai is a giant robot pirate with dual cutlasses and a giant-ass cannon in his chest.

    Like, a cannonball cannon. Sized for a giant robot.

    IIRC, those aren't showing up due to McFarlane holding the license.

    You really have to give the show staff credit for having that as the finisher. Especially given how Gokaioh has two swords, and those are almost always the finishing weapon before add ons come along.

    You deserve a hug. Now go buy ShinkenGold.

    EDIT:

    Now I've read more of the thread, I'm loving the Figuarts... love.
