    I noticed a distinct lack of a "new releases" page, when visiting today. That was pretty essential to the old site.

    Scrounge is G1 Scavenger's original name, and even made it to animation.

    I am very much hoping for a Bandai VF-22 etc. I have little faith in Arcadia at the moment---the YF-19 may be my first and last purchase from them.

    Anyone want my CW Wildrider? I intentionally passed on the Dead End version of the mold, waiting for this one----and he just doesn't make a good leg. Almost all my CW limbs are "arms" at this point, I really need more/better legs! And he's only a decent arm, not a good one. So I really have no use for him, as I am absolutely not completing a CW Menasor (cuz Motormaster sucks). I've already nail-polished the heck out of his hips and hand-foot connector, so they are tight and can certainly hold up weapons/poses very well as an arm now. I did that before his first transformation, and only after trying out arm and leg modes did I realize I didn't really like him.

    That's just a Brera repainted and decaled, not an actual "molded in green" one. We still don't know the final colors/markings etc. (you can even see the magenta plastic where the paint's rubbed off)

    While gloss white landing gear is canon for most valks and real planes, those on French-built planes are often painted silver, so there is some precedent. (Go look at a Mirage, Airbus, or the Concorde)

    Does the Wing Zero Honoo Custom have the coolest art ever? I think so. (The standard Honoo art is pretty cool, but this box art for the Custom parts is even better) High-res with no crease/watermark: http://www.theanimegallery.com/gallery/image:196383

    The aviary scene is a scene they didn't have the time/budget for in the first movie----it's from the first book. As is the river-raft scene. The third movie is basically the bits from the first book they couldn't fit in. 1st movie+3rd movie=1st book+Spinosaurus.

    That preview still really shows just how hard the "JP brow" is in effect.
  11. David Hingtgen
    First book is GREAT. Skip everything else (books and movies).
  12. David Hingtgen
    Thundercracker or Sideswipe, I lean towards Sideswipe.

    I always ascribe situations like this, to overall height vs torso height. Two people of the same height, could have different torso vs leg length. Also---I know of very few people 6ft plus who think the Camaro has anything close to "more than enough" room.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Hoverboard. Just to put things in perspective---that's several times further than the Wright's first flight.
  15. David Hingtgen
    I bet that'd be an awesome (yet full of crazy) book. Anyways, was in B&N today---they had a JP (sorry, JW) display of stuff---they had the new LEGO sets, some of the better/newer Schleich dinos (surprisingly, as most places sell the less-accurate/older Schleich stuff---the new Kentrosaurus is a must-have), and some books on display. Sadly none of the dino books were written for people older than 9.
  16. David Hingtgen
    I sure hope so, just for display variation options if nothing else. (still hoping for an armor set to become available---I mean, it'd cost them almost nothing to produce---just pop out another couple sets, in grey instead of lavender)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Yes, but "at the bottom" is still way too high, often with inches of clearance below. "at the bottom" with the seat tilted way back, shouldn't put my head only a finger or two from the headliner, being "merely" 6ft tall. (I measure headroom with my fingers, it works well---1 finger is suicidal, 2 fingers is "eerie", 3 fingers is bare minimum to live with, 4 fingers is good)

    I think people are more used to the G1 toy's proportions, than the real thing. It's kinda like how MP Sideswipe looks "off"---because the real thing has a shorter/wider hood than the G1 toy, and the MP is matching the real car, not the G1 toy. All the recent stuff is going for spot-on car proportions---and exotic/racing cars tend to have some oddities. Jazz is just plain weird-looking----that's how his rear wheels are:

    Just wanna say thanks for that, very interesting.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Grace's is 102 and the CF is 302, but Bandai seems to get that backwards most of the time. (302 is never seen on-screen though, but 102 is so we're very sure it's Grace's)

    Would rather see:

    It's the Marines! Every aircraft*! *yeah, they included drones I thought the different sizes of Hornet squadrons was interesting. Had no idea the Red Devils were that small, relatively.

    TF4 will be a permanent fixture. TF5 will be in theaters, and there'll still be one-step Grimlocks and Lockdowns clogging shelves...
  24. David Hingtgen
    As I said before---the Harrier's puff-jets turned up to 11.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Both airliners and carrier-based planes often do this, to keep the engines spooled up for better response in case something happens. Fokker 28/100 and the Bae146 are the best examples I can think of. The final flap-setting on most every (non-Airbus)airliner exists almost solely for this reason---there is usually very little additional lift gained by going from "almost full" to "full" flaps---but there is more drag, so you can run the engines up further without speeding up. (the 727 and early 737 rarely land at max flap, they usually land at second-to last) "Flaps 50" is basically "airbrake mode".
