Me too! Except we don't have IMAX theater in my area. I've already told the missus I'm going to see that movie regardless. Same thing for Star Wars in December. :giggles: She has zero interest in seeing either one.

Oh yeah Valarian looks pretty cool too. It does look like one big hot mess of a sci-if movie. I did promise my son I'd take him to see Spider-Man: Homecoming first.

Yep! I saw that too! The Bandai rep even asked me what I thought of the price point they are considering. I gave him my opinion; we shall see what they decide to do. That was a great booth where I picked up a few more kits too.

Duke! You were there! That was, as expected one of two highlights for me as well. I'm glad you spoke to the rep about the price. The other highlight was the Discovery from Moebius Models. As a die hard 2001 Modeler, the test shot was a sight to see!

Yes I was there. Sorry so late in responding to this thread too. I was honored to have helped and I hope they do consider some of what I said. I also enjoyed the Discovery; I got a few pics of that. Did you notice on the test shot that the 'cockpit' had a mostly full interior and that it was lit up?

Nice pics from the making of the Star Wars movie too. I love seeing things like that.
