    I have no expectations. I'm quite a cynic.

    DANG! Missed that too!?!?!

    I didn't get to see it last night. Does somebody feel like summing it up in a spoiler tag for me?

    You brought up Star Wars several times so I went with, and I never attacked it (I like Star Wars), I just pointed out that in terms of inspiration people in Science and Engineering fields have never been influenced by Star Wars but they have continually stated within the offices I work and at conventions to the actors themselves that they have been by Star Trek which says something very strong, lasting and relevant about that franchise. Your reading comprehension is very low. You obviously in every which way dislike the original Trek as you've never said anything positive about it and LOVE Abrams as you can't seem to say anything bad about him or the new Trek at all. Consider that since your last post numerous people have mentioned about many shows/movies/etc... that directly contradict your comments on and support the notion Star Trek has dealt with the human condition. But you ignore that and hold your line that Star Trek was just bad in some sort of nebulous, obviously uninformed way. You're unable to have a real discussion.

    I just checked now, pre-order is still available... whether there will actually be stock is another thing completely.

    Interesting how you didn't responded to what you quoted there. But I'll bite. Star Trek absolutely dealt with the human condition you're just choosing to ignore it because you have an obvious axe to grind.

    The thing is that even as you have them now the stickers really stand out to me. I've gone as far as carving the bit of sticker inside the zero's and the curved spaces inside the S'es (which is a colossal bitch) so that they don't show. On the other matte Valks (well, not the really dark one's like the Vf-17) I can get away with not doing that but it all REALLY stands out on the 19's.

    I feel like a lot of people want to hate on these designs because they aren't specifically made bytheir favorite anime mech designer. I'll admit Gipsy Danger or the Chinese one don't look that great but I believe the other three are really cool looking. Actually, I find that monstrous Russian design quite awesome. There's an obvious homage to a nuclear reactor going on with that head piece and it's also a frightening, menacing hell of a top-hat. It looks like a brute and I love it.

    I was more selective with what stickers I would apply to my 19's (S and F anyway, I won't bother with the P.) Anything with White looked pretty good. Some of the Red stickers are okay. Black looks terrible and always stands out no matter what type of sticker I've attempted to put on.

    Star Wars never inspired generations of scientists and engineers like Star Trek did. So in terms of relevance it's quite possible that while the new Star Trek is now "popular" that doesn't mean it will have any significance, thus relevance, beyond making some money. Star Wars never did this to begin with. So it's only relevancy is that people still like Boba Fett for no damned good reason. Nobody complained he didn't make a Voyager movie because most fans don't want a Voyager movie, they want a good movie. And in that sense, they want something they can watch, be entertained and be inspired by several times over. Abrams Trek is, at best, entertaining one or two times, but it is not inspiring. We need more people dressing up in Star Fleet officer uniforms, they are the one's looking to enrich our lives via science and diversity.

    The Gunpod does partially collapse, however it still doesn't sit flush. That's an engineering error if you as me. Also, the gloss finish makes getting decals right even more of a bitch. They're more likely to slide around, and if you haven't quite trimmed them right it REALLY shows up.

    The thing is that Alto was actually the easiest to get, probably that's why Graham was able to snag two. I didn't even pre-order one. He sat around at shops for a few weeks after release before I decided to go for it.

    I could sit here and say that I have reservations on Gerwalk mode but I also REALLy hated the VF-17 Gerwalk and the 17S head but after buying a few of the toys and seeing/being able to manipulate them in 3D it's very well possible I'll have none of those issues. I'd rather cheer-lead Bandai actually making one (or more with better/different color schemes.)

    I think we now know the only way to get a decent Iron Man video game is to cop Mega-Man.

    The Doctor was great, the show was not.
  16. Mommar
    Good call. That darker tone looks REALLY nice. That's exactly how I would want mine to look.
  17. Mommar
    With that missile box deployed that may well be the MOST gappy gerwalk of any Valk.

    I finally caved and panic bought a second 17D.
  19. Mommar
    That's the thing, right? I saw the pics from the game and though it looked stupid. Then I saw those prototype's of the DX and completely changed my mind.
  20. Mommar
    Just have a look at the various DX profiles on the first page of this topic. There's a perfect sideview comparison to be made at least.

    My buddy Kev says it looks like that 11B is about to give up it's lunch money.
  22. Mommar
    Taking it back a few weeks, and completely off topic, look at the lines on that SDFM SDF-1. Dammit, why couldn't Yamato have made one of those. I love that profile.
  23. Mommar
    Bizzarro world? Voyager neutered both The Borg and Q. The year of hell arc was pretty good too. It's how the ship should have looked, and been treated, the entire show.

    It's a combination of the two.Those little flaps might look like they're from the J-20 but if you fill in the gaps on the front end of the wings up to those flaps and the backs of the wings you're pretty much going to see the body of the T-50. Even the width of the feet thrusters is the same as the T-50. The rear stabilizers look like they're taken from the J-20, but even still they're significantly wider, more like the J-20

    Now I'm going to wind up paying $500 for a third VF-4 just so I can modify it with this head. It'll be the commander model to my other two wing men.
