    I do wonder how well an unpainted kit version of this would do. People seem to really like to customize the airframe on this one however they're not usually fond of the other two modes. As great as it looks in fighter would the extra cost for a transformable version that still has to make concessions for the other two modes be worth it to someone who can get a model kit for cheaper of the fighter mode that doesn't have to worry about other modes?

    DX VF-25G

    Fair enough. In that photo it seems lighter.

    That's extremely pragmatic. I can respect that. I've seen it happen too. I was attempting to avoid speaking in absolutes but I was basing it on, I think it was Kicker's, response that it had met expectations (which has still not been VERIFIED unless somebody with more knowledge of production/toy sales can chime in about why it might be.) The thing is that right now because it isn't the FB2012 version some people aren't buying this at all. And it appears they're assuming, based on some past experiences or simply stubborn, they believe a FB2012 version will appear. Otherwise sales of this version of the VF-4 may be higher still if it weren't for that divide. In other news I've been gazing at the flyer for the VF-4 that came with my 19F and I'm dying for more pictures (really, one of these in hand.) I wish i could swing paying for more than one but between having to buy a new computer, new windows and new stucco there's no way I can justify all of that extra expense.

    DYRL VF-1 WIP

    Oh man, that's rough. I totally understand. I had a hard enough time continuing with any activities when I was still on unemployment, to say nothing of it running out. I hope things turn around soon. Keep at it bro.

    You added bullet damage to the 1D?
  6. Mommar
    Yup, me too. Can't wait for it!

    Damn, look at the size of the wings on that D. It looks like it's wearing a cape. Are there many "real-world" renders of the C/D in the book as well? Really? When you contract out work you don't typically own the 3D models being worked on and keep them in a central repository after the fact?

    I still would like to see Yamato take a stab at it. It's an interesting problem. They'd have a template for four different Valks that way. The 109A and F, and the two versions of the 14 too. Maybe the AZ-130 as well but that one is a little bit crazier.

    I don't know, those Toy engineers are pretty creative. They might be able to come up with something pretty clever for that. I'd bet it's made of diecast, Whatever the solution is.

    Color-wise that blue seems too bright to me.

    Other than missing that post about the licensing issue which brings to close any speculation I had about FB2012... why are you answering a question I didn't ask? That's twice in this thread someone has imagined some other question/statement to answer. Nowhere did I say Yamato was going to announce/discuss any sort of other release. I made a speculation if this release did well, and if anybody here knew how that was going, maybe that would indicate an FB2012 release.

    I don't understand. What is it about the hips you're seeing that makes them so crazy?
  13. Mommar
    You know I never realized that version of the 17 was ever animated. It's part of the Mac 7 package, what are the odds Yamato could/would make them (yeah right.)
  14. Mommar
    I think it looks perfect the way it is.

    I wonder why they're working in the 3000? They already built the models but they aren't funded well enough to pop out a book on them alone? Or there aren't anymore VF-1 books to stuff them in? Hopefully they'll et some of the other books/fighters out. They already have CG models for the 11, 17, 171, 21/22, 27, 29 from the other four books. Seems like they could slap together a few more from all of that. Too bad they couldn't get a VF-4 one out in time for 2012 either. I like the images they have there so far. Looks like they're getting better at lighting their own images. Some of those VF-1/19 pics were pretty horrible in terms of visibility.

    Wasn't this supposed to be released yesterday?
  17. Mommar
    What was this game? Infinite Space? I haven't heard of this. What was it like? I think they're banking on the fact you already have (possibly had, which is a hole in their theory) a Wii... so you don't need any of those Wiimotes.

    I seem to run out of ammo faster. But then it's harder to aim on this old crappy substitute I'm playing on.
  19. Mommar
    That would be a tough one to figure out since they originally said they've padded out/added stuff to the later half of the story and, somehow, have managed to bloat it up more recently from being two movies to being it's own trilogy.

    I guess a minor nitpick, they were never going to able to top that awesome intro from the first game. As much as i like what they tried, and the song they used, not nearly the fun impact of the first. Is it just me or does this second one seem a lot harder? Ammo is not nearly as plentiful. You're pretty much forced to pick up and use lesser weapons... unless the resolution on my game has to be set so low (Friday... but probably Monday to fix that) I can't actually see some of the ammo clips? LOL

    I just cancelled the order with that place. Wound up paying $300 more but I'll have my new computer Monday (looks like.) I did, however, find out that Borderlands 2 is actually playable on a six year old, buggy desktop with a video card that's only 256MB (their minimum specs are 512mb) but only if you turn everything off and run it in... wait for it, 640x480.

    Even though I'm never an active participant because I'm neither knowledgeable about artistry or aviation I do enjoy watching these bits of emergent problem solving from the artist/engineers on this board.

    Why is everyone a fan of the Tornado Packs on the G version?
  24. Mommar
    Nope. Nothing else to play it on. And to top it off I ordered a new laptop and paid extra for rush build/delivery and I'm being told parts are on back-order and I have to wait until at least October 1st for the thing to ship.
  25. Mommar
    I pre-loaded that on my laptop that then died Saturday night...
