    I was wondering about the circle too. (and hoping the final colors are not quite as saturated as the box---it seems just a touch more blue than the previous stuff they showed us)

    I figure Yuuma has enough skill to repair "normal" damage to Build Burning. Maybe not recreate its uber-particle-abilities from scratch, but surely repair an arm etc. That, or as Schizo said---level B just LOOKS like "real" damage in the playing field, but is just more of a "disassembly" thing in real life.

    Did I somehow miss a new Build Fighters WING ZERO?!?! 1/144 HGBF "Wing Zero Honoo":

    I do believe that Concorde story is true. The Blackbird works because it EMITS heat by being black, vs the XB-70 and Concorde reflecting it away with white.
  5. David Hingtgen
    Not enough to be concerned about much. Concorde is supposed to be kept glossy/smooth, but that's about all I've ever heard. XB-70 had horrible paint problems, but never directly affected it AFAIK. Sure looked bad, but that's about it I think. Some airliners that switched from metal skin to composite skin for some areas for weight savings----the airlines requested that the composite areas be puttied over, for a smoother appearance! (as the "weave" in the composite was visible through the paint). So surface imperfections that small didn't seem to matter aerodynamically, as otherwise the manufacturers wouldn't have made the change. I presume mainly due to boundary-layer effects.

    Yup, when I saw your previous post about 24hrs drying, that's the first thing that came to mind. Future doesn't dry in a day. It takes DAYS to truly cure.

    I do, the first version came with "nameless pilot-guys". (I am of course, REALLY hoping for an actual Grace pilot figure this time----the 1/72 kit had one of her!)
  8. David Hingtgen
    I really want to see B-wings. They should be commonplace, or upgraded like the X-wing, by that point. They really got shafted, screen-time-wise, in ROTJ.
  9. David Hingtgen
    Nope, it's a soccer-ball droid, and it's just carrying the head of a rival around up top, like a trophy.
  10. David Hingtgen
    Nah, those are just midichlorians leaking out. (Jedi on board, obviously).
  11. David Hingtgen
    Actually see her piloting? No. But at the end of ep 22 she puts on a VF-27-specific flight suit, walks over to #102(Brera's is #101), looks at it, and at the beginning of ep 23 she's now on board the Galaxy, so it's HIGHLY implied that she flew it there. (Only cyborgs can fly the -27). And both the kit and DX specifically call it the "Grace-type", when you combine CF colors with commander-type head-unit. (Like #102 was clearly shown to be)

    Gregory Paul seems to be on a life-long quest to eliminate/consolidate as many species and genera as possible, until we're down to like 5 total species of dino. EVERYTHING is his books is listed as "synonymous with X" or "likely just a large specimen/female of Y". According to him, there is no Triceratops nor Corythosaurus for example.

    Dorothy was my fave cameo by far. Mainly because the situation/expression was just so perfect for her.
  14. David Hingtgen
    All the more reason to have just picked the -23 in the first place...
  15. David Hingtgen
    Back on topic to this release of the -27 please, and not which DX valks are and aren't deserving of the term "renewal". And no, this does not mean "one more last jab/proclamation from each member, THEN back on topic".
  16. David Hingtgen
    Nope, mine had that problem. Did the nail polish fix. (FULLY moving the black glareshield into place actually makes it worse, 95% is a better fit for the nose, but was visibly misaligned prior to the fix)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Yup. Alto's VF-171 is nearly "DYRL grey", but is still considered "white" to most people. (heck, a lot of people consider DYRL grey, to be "white")
  18. David Hingtgen
    I was intentionally trying to ignore the obvious answer.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Should have just sold them the F-22 years ago. Far better to give our allies stealth, than have China just steal it from us... Anyways----I'm getting a YF-30 vibe from it.
  20. David Hingtgen
    So Death Star III explodes and a TIE zooms away from the explosion?
  21. David Hingtgen
    Yup yup, re-watched it several times with the "new" version. Already my fave ep, but now even better. It's THE episode to show people the difference. Also works as a good example of the whole "new effects, but still old-school-looking" style they went for.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Alto's VF-25 is greyish purple-white to start with. It's just what Bandai used for that one.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Yes, but if they print the numbers on this time, and put the wrong heads on any given modex, then you see the problem...
  24. David Hingtgen
    That'd be a heck of an expensive swap if you only want one. But people should be able to find people here on MW for head-swaps, to "correct" things.
  25. David Hingtgen
    The previous DX was ONLY Grace's, this is the first time we've seen a CF headsculpt on a DX.
