    Yeah, but at least Freyja spent notable time in a valk with Hayate on-screen. Makina and Mirage is like "on paper only".
  2. David Hingtgen
    Mirage doesn't even get to be on the box of her own valk?

    There IS a special tool just for spring pins. You want a "roll pin punch". (searching google for a "spring pin punch" will get you 99% "spring-loaded punches" and not what you want). It is very similar to a regular nail set, but with a "small ball" embedded on the tip. The ball goes into the pin, the edge of the set goes on the rim of the pin. I do have one (just for DX valks), I'll see if I can get the exact size of it later. ::edit:: It is a 1/16 in roll pin punch. I'm sure DX valks are actually metric, but it works. ::edit 2:: It's this one exactly (the model number is still on the package I keep it in) https://www.homedepot.com/p/TEKTON-1-16-in-Roll-Pin-Punch-66061/205820414

    I'd accept an even worse show, if it meant we got all the super/armor packs we should...

    More like Godzilla -0.00 You Can (Not) Kaiju

    Looks like the nosegear has the same issue as the YF-21, where it doesn't seem to be able to QUITE fully unfold, leaving a kink/gap in the middle of the strut.

    I wonder if they'll go back more like the original's footage/style, or double-down on "contrived experiences" and have tons of CG events blatantly "staged" to experience like in the current version. I like the original version way more.

    Ironically, the Tron coaster at Disney World is my all-time fave. Not that I go on very many coasters to compare, but I love it 10x more than any other I think. It's so SMOOOOOOTH.

    The radar dome screams "Apache Longbow". https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rotor_Head_and_Radar_Dome_of_ROCA_AH-64E_810_20140531.jpg

    I just noticed you put The Shinning instead of The Shining, but that may actually be even better+more accurate.

    All they have to do is greenlight Legacy, with Capt Seven of the 1701-G, and you've got a guaranteed audience. Is it guaranteed to be good? No, but it's got a heck of a lot better shot than what they're doing. "The latest Enterprise out exploring the cosmos". Basic, but we've veered off-track for a while now. DS9 was a great one-time experiment, but when like 3/4 of the shows lately are "not a ship of experienced people out exploring", it seems we've lost the core aspect of the franchise. There's always a cadet or "fresh from the academy" person on board, but when entire shows (don't forget Prodigy, and to a lesser degree Lower Decks) focus heavily on that, and not the people "actually good and experienced at the thing they do" it can drag things down, or stretch believability/plausibility. "Why are the noobs always saving the galaxy? What are the people who are actually supposed to be better at these things doing in the meantime?" ::edit:: OMG, I just realized I basically made an early TNG anti-Wesley post. Well, the sentiment remains...

    HMR VF-19P

    David Hingtgen replied to BlueMax's topic in Toys

    A white speaker gunpod wouldn't be too far off from Mylene's. Guess they don't have an HMR MAXL very far along, if at all, or they could have used that.

    Mainly that last sentence. Even though this is just a minor remold, it's not free for them to create the modifications, either money-wise or time/resource-wise. While "Max and Milia 1/48 VF-1J's" would cost them virtually nothing to create, and would sell out instantly worldwide.

    I think you forgot "The Fly" in that list. (I saw it in the theater!)

    Also just watched---agree with Dangard Ace. It's fine, and Leto is surprisingly "un-Leto-like". Unless you truly despise him, he's "acceptable" as the lead. Plus, half the movie is just dialogueless face-less programs doing cool trippy stuff to a synth* track for minutes on end---and that's really the main draw, isn't it? *please forgive my lack of sub-genre knowledge. I have no idea what to call it, past "it's not rock, it's not country, it's not classical jazz".
