So If, Like Myself, Youd Been Wondering What Happened Regarding The Announcement Of That HG Gundam Hajiroboshi

So if, like myself, you’d been wondering what happened regarding the announcement of that HG Gundam Hajiroboshi 2nd Form, the answer is that it’s a P-Bandai and will be releasing in December.

I went on a tirade about P-Bandai and Ibo when I talked about the Oltlinde, so I’m not gonna do that again.

This is just where the Hajiroboshi 2nd Form’s at.

I’m gonna be honest, I like the Star Wars Expanded universe as much as the next person, but honestly I enjoyed it a lot more once I realised it’s not all worth it.

(a third evil Shaak Ti Knockoff? Well’s running a bit dry there, huh?)

Don’t get me wrong, there’s good stuff in there (I have a particular fondness for some of the Han Solo Novels), but there’s a lot of schlock too. It’s a big universe and they can’t all be winners.

Once upon a time, I felt like it was a reasonable goal to read all the Star Wars tie-in comics, they only came out like 3-4 per week, they're just 23 pages, it's totally doable! But I have realized, no, I just fundamentally do not care about certain sets of characters or parts of the Star Wars galaxy. "You could still do it for completion's sake!" my brain keeps whispering in a coaxing voice. "You could look for fun little gems like 'swearing in the gffa' that way! Just 3-4 comics a week, that's easy to get done!" And I have to tell that voice to shut up, because that half hour or 45 minutes I spend reading those comics and roving my eye over the panels to see if there's anything funny in the background might not be a lot of time, but I could be spending that time every week watching a TV show I liked or reading a fic I liked. And most importantly I am freeing myself of this prison. COMPLETIONISM IS A PRISON. IT IS ONLY FUN IF YOU ACTUALLY LIKE ALL THAT STUFF. COMPLETING IT JUST TO COMPLETE IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY MAKE YOUR BRAIN HAPPY THERE IS NO SATISFYING "I SCRATCHED THIS ITCH" FEELING AT THE END OF IT. IT IS LIES. IT ONLY ENDS IN EXHAUSTION AND "WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS WORTH IT?" FREE YOURSELF OF COMPLETIONISM FOR COMPLETIONISM'S SAKE NOW.
