    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)

    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")
  3. David Hingtgen
    I was intentionally trying to ignore the obvious answer.

    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.

    So Death Star III explodes and a TIE zooms away from the explosion?
  6. 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.
  7. David Hingtgen
    Alto's VF-25 is greyish purple-white to start with. It's just what Bandai used for that one.
  8. 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...
  9. 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.

    The previous DX was ONLY Grace's, this is the first time we've seen a CF headsculpt on a DX.
  11. David Hingtgen
    You know, China totally did NOT copy the F-22. Not at all, nope. Completely their own, original, unique design.

    If the renewal -27 is a 1.5, then the -29 is a 1.75.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Eh, the YA-10B existed.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Whew, a "properly" colored photo. (The earlier pics were much too blue--a "real" VF-27 is very yellow/olive-green, not a "pretty" emerald green)

    VF 27g 2

    From the album: Reference

    Been busy playing ME3 one last time before I sell my 360. Anyways----hmmmn, the lackey is marked 102, Grace's says 302. That's backwards. Grace's is definitely 102. PS---regarding color-matching. The sample of the 1.0 VF-27 had perfectly-matching greens as well. And had the hip-gun stripes painted on. And the grey upper nacelle striping. The actual finished release had all those markings missing and mis-matched greens. So don't believe what you see, when it comes to DX samples.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Nobody here wants that more than me, but at this point I have little hope.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Hmmn. I don't see leg armor, unless they made it green. Could just be the original on display to look cool, not indicative of a new version/rerelease. (Like the Ozma 29 there too)The coloring reminds me of the sample/prototype Grace DX, so it's likely it's the EXACT same one.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Want *pilotsuit* Aila.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Exactly. That kind of money should buy a nearly hot-spot-free lighting system. That looks little better than using Christmas lights inside... Also, if EVER a kit could use some "RG-style subtle plastic shade variations"---it's that. Really, it's ALL PURE WHITE? Not a single sprue of slightly off-white? (or 3-4 shades, like the statue-style RX-78) Yes, having the "grey" of the RX-78 would look off/wrong, but as Bandai does have and use multiple shades of "pure white"---surely they could have used some of them here. (there's green-white, yellow-white, and purple-white that I know of) Alto's VF-25F kit is purple white, the MG 1.0 Zeta is green-white.

    There's definitely some diecast, you can easily tell in the unpainted pics. Black=plastic, silver=diecast. Feet and barrel for sure.

    DA:Inquisition is going to be awesome (and very long/huge by all reports). Lots of stuff to prep for though: EA origin account linked up with gamer tag(s)? Check. Go to DA Keep site and link up history/achievements of past DA games from old Bioware account? Check. Play quest minigame at DA main site to get more freebie DLC weapons? Check. PS4 Deluxe edition pre-ordered? Check. Now just have to buy a PS4. PS---DA quest minigame is here: http://quest.dragonage.com/en-us/ Final segment only seems to work with Chrome though. But you get free weapons not attainable anywhere else. (two swords and a staff IIRC)
  24. David Hingtgen
    He'd be #1 if he only had a head. (Sad that many of the otherwise-awesome GoBots had no head---like Staks) And Tux is the best GoBot, because he wears a top-hat. (on his HEAD, because he has one)
  25. David Hingtgen
    VF-25? No it's not. Bandai seems dead-set AGAINST making money from it (especially the Ozma one), by making as few as possible with years between reissues.
