  1. Of course. I still haven't figured out why nobody seems to make REAL space shuttle alt-modes any more. But this is still closer to the real thing than anything else any company has done in 15+ years. I mean, stuff like this just makes me ask--"why?": Either totally do your own thing, or flat-out do a real one. Don't "uglify" NASA's---but that seems to be the #1 option the past dozen years...
  2. It's definitely my fave of the two Astrotrains coming. But the colors they picked---is like the worst combo of real-world and toon. Do one or the other. "White shuttle with random purple chunks" just plain doesn't look good. Either do white/black, or grey/purple. (or if you want to do G1 toy colors, then make it look INTENTIONAL, with the white and purple placement---G1 had a clear delineation between the white and purple areas, looked good/intentional----how Toyworld did it looks like random parts on random sprues were molded in different colors, all the color-separation-lines are "jagged")
  3. Anyone else feel this season isn't living up to season 1? It started off strong, but I'm feeling the latter half of season 2 isn't as good as season 1's. Not bad by any means, but at this point in season 1, I couldn't wait for new eps---but "not feeling it" for season 2. Still watch, but I'm not "eagerly anticipating" each new ep.
  4. I'd be interested in less clunky stuff for renewals too----25/27/29. All the Bandai stuff is much larger than needed, hides the gunpod, etc.
  5. What's the latest word on release date? My HLJ pile has 20 days until it has to ship...
  6. I want MG Burning with orange flickering "fire effect" LED's inside.
  7. The Insecticons are easy to do because their robot modes inherently have tons of alt-mode kibble, and their insect modes were always "bug-styled robot machines" and not *insects*.
  8. I used nail polish on mine.
  9. Yup. You can have 4 Aerialbots NOW if you buy a helicopter. Otherwise, you'll have to wait a while, until the very tail end of the line, to get the 'real' team. Same for Wildrider/Stunticons.
  10. I still want an MG Burning with orange LED's. Try Burning would be even better.
  11. Yet Paddington Bear, which looks awful/stupid from the trailers, still holding at 98%: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/paddington_2014/
  12. The circle is now complete---US TRU listings for Combiner Wars Slingshot and Wildrider.
  13. Threads merged.
  14. Not even slightly surprised, as that mold was always Slingshot's alt-mode to begin with. It's like 90% Sea Harrier, 10% (if that) F-4.
  15. Can I post those pics in a few threads over at TFW?
  16. I gotta wonder if the prop has a smaller diameter now, having gotten the tips shorn off... (a blade on the down-swing would have been the lowest point of the plane)
  17. Yeah, and you shouldn't need a massive correction kit for such a basic thing, that no other kit ever got wrong before. The biggest/newest/most expensive kit shouldn't be the least-accurate in overall cross-section.
  18. I think licensing plays a big part in what MP's get made nowadays. And Chevy+Transformers=easy license.
  19. I wonder if wearing The One Ring would help you click F5 faster...
  20. Based on the YF-19's color changes/issues, and their utter inability to get anywhere near the proper VF-0D color, I'd say yes.
  21. First thing I ever noticed when I saw the first dry-fit test of that kit. "OMG, it looks like a MiG-25 from head-on". IMHO, it's one of the biggest errors I've seen in many years. Unforgiveable considering how many pics exist of the F-14 on the web.
