Sadly, it's another "wander around and talk to NPCs, and nothing else" event like Starlight was. Looks like crunch for the new DLC means cutting way back on seasonal events. ---Dave

Ah, it doesn't show up as "My Little Pony Classics," only under "MLP Classics," in Diamond's cruddy search engine. ---Dave

Most of the stuff listed here is still sitting in my To Be Reviewed pile (except Devcon, whose wave I never saw in the wild and I missed the window to order for less than 100% markup online), but the only thing to get a Strongly Recommended from me in 2023 was...Noah Diaz Exo-Suit. ---Dave

Hm, can't find the Romeo & Juliet one on Diamond's site. When's it supposed to come out? ---Dave

I won't get my copy for a few weeks get (monthly shipments), but I expect Dorothy will do the high speed running trick rather than clicking her heels and just waking up in Kansas. After all, they've been aggressively using stuff from the books that didn't make it in the movie. ---Dave

I only have the previous issue. At one time I had the first dozen, but I guess they didn't survive a purge (or I loaned them to someone and never got 'em back). ---Dave

A friend got me the two-rabbits BeastBox set. And a LOT of my Pulse orders arrived over the last week. ---Dave

I don't know why they went with Loveable Furball Mughi for the animation...while the Pair themselves had significant redesigns for animation too (the Affair of Nolandia OAV was the closest to their original looks), Mughi's change was a lot more drastic. My best guess would be that animating...

Plastic champagne glass from Dollar Tree. :) ---Dave

I mean, there's some anime I've seen more episodes of (especially the Eternal Shows like Dragonball), but not all in one year. ---Dave

I got the dubs of Gatchaman one year in the 00s and watched them all (105 episodes!) over the course of a few weeks. That's probably the most I've watched of a single anime in one year. ---Dave

I found a spare G2 Megatron at Ross the other day, and decided it needed to be painted to be closer to the comics colors (with some interpretation on my part). ---Dave

You should be fine, it's very episodic in nature and the necessary premise gets laid out in every installment. Kinda like old school James Bond movies. ---Dave

Yeah, they were "light novels" of the day. I have a copy of one that was sold as a Learn English sort of deal. Technically, the Pair first appeared in the Crusher Joe anime, but their own stories started as light novels. They also got some manga (I got the collection a few years ago, dunno if...

From the pre-anime design, one of the novels from about 1980. Mughi-as-Coeurl postdates the earliest Displacer Beasts, but it seems to be a parallel evolution rather than van Vogt -> D&D -> Dirty Pair. Here's the Marvel adaptation of the 1939 story...

Okay, so quick history of the Displacer Beast. It started as the alien menace called the Coeurl (yes, Final Fantasy grabbed the name) from A.E. van Vogt's short story "Dark Destroyer." Felinoid with tentacles and the ability to extract potassium from living things as it fed, not to mention...

Mughi! ---Dave

A few people in one of my Free Companies has a little keypad that plugs in between the arms of his controller. This sort of thing: ---Dave

Yeah, mine were $1.25, and you can't blame that much on the exchange rate. Dollar Tree might be getting a knockoff of those. It looked too "regular item" to be like the Gundam models or Buzz Lightyear Hot Wheels they they had this year (or the BotBots singles they had a couple years back)...

Ollie's has the two Campaign Cases for $3 each. Creatures case has a bunch of plastic disks and Colorform-like clings you can put on the disks and then remove to swap out. The Terrain case has a big cardstock folding grid map and a bunch of interlocking map grid squares, and then not-Colorform...
