    Thread lock in 3....2.....1.....

    But seriously, who didn't see this coming? Once the F1 race was cancelled, it was pretty obvious that a toy convention wouldn't happen.

    TT needs to get with the program and start doing online reveals like Bandai. Even a simple video showing still photos like a slideshow would be good enough for me.

    I think that's what the extendex reveals/ twitter pics are suppose to replace. They do need a better photographer for the twitter pics those, those end up bring the only real "live" shots we see and the photography isnt the best.

    They need whoever's doing the Joe photography to come on over to the TF side.

    Though, who knows, maybe the problem is they send photographers figures without clear instructions as to how they should look in one mode or the other. So they fiddle with parts and that's how this happens:

    I was exaggerating for effect, but our civilization would not end. 20% mortality isn't 20% of the population, but also - in any function that is required to run the world, we could operate if we lost 1/5 of the manpower.

    Thankfully the only big thing I had planned was getting MMC Blastoff, so when we went back into lockdown (not the bounty hunter) I was left with no way of spending the money so it was actually helpful.

    We will, eventually. Just because it won't be at an event booth doesn't stop them from releasing previews of the prototypes in a livestream.

    I feel like it's been a running gag for myself, that even with everything surrounding the change of social norms because of the pandemic (Georgia never locked down, save for restaurants switching to drive-thru only), it never changed much of my normal daily routine. I don't go anywhere unless I have to, my friends live in different parts of the country so I don't hang out, there's no movies I'm desperate to see in theaters, and I live in a rural area. "Misanthropy Saves Lives" has been my motto.

    In the meantime, I've got cows to take care of, hay fields to cut (once the weather gives us a decent break), and an infinite backlog of Gunpla that's between eight and ten years in the making... I'm not going anywhere.

    I have not had much discussion with people about COVID-19 on these boards.
    Are you saying that in the course of discussing the topic of Wonderfest's cancellation due to COVID we happen to discuss COVID then we will get disciplined for straying off topic?
    For discussing "medical stuff"?

    They have definitely been doing more Tweets which is appreciated, but they need to improve. We need more than one photo for each mode. I guess it's my designer background, but for me it's not good enough unless you have a photo of every side of the figure in both modes. Front, rear, side, top, bottom, ISO, etc. I NEED MORE PICS DAMN IT!!!! :)

    There are avenues of discussion allowed and those that aren't. Discussing it's known impact (events, regional impact, etc) they tend to be okay with. Where they start to clamp down is conspiratorial non-sense and political derailments.

    I would like to see GS Delta Magnus along with the inner cab robot Magna Convoy by Takara-Tomy.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    PS And if the figures are not according to TF (if this does not contradict the rule of this forum), then I would like to see Gazelle from the Revoltech series on Zootopia, with all points of articulation and accessories and replaceable muzzles. Since the original 2016 singing doll still bothers me...
