  1. I would imagine that nothing that has an actual VW hood badge will ever be allowed---but few people know/consider a Lambo as a VW...
  2. The new B-Wing seems inferior in every way to the old one. That is odd among SW LEGO sets. There may be some trade-offs, but usually new ones are better overall than the predecessor. (the new ISD is certainly a mixed bag, but there's definitely an apparent increase in stability/features etc)
  3. Yeah, elbow and bicep armor are the worst on PG WGZC. Legs hold together much better, though it can be finicky to get the spring-loaded back-of-knee gimmick working just right---but once you do, it should be "set for life" assuming you don't disassemble the armor there.
  4. That should actually be easily reproduceable with the standard metal masks used for painting etc. Wavy, feathered, or both. If little $20 model planes have it, I expect a far more expensive and larger valk to be able to do it.
  5. Nothing cooler than blue afterburners. Backfire has about the best.
  6. I haven't been able to get one--Wm Cheng could still use a "sponsor" from us MW members to get him an Ozma to go with the armor pack etc he already has waiting for it. Seriously, what other board member has been able to work in Macross visual elements into big-budget Hollywood movies to show support for the franchise?
  7. AmiAmi lasted like 2 secs if that, never even saw "add to cart". I at least got to the final checkout screen at HS but it sold out (somehow they didn't have my credit card info and I had to type it in manually--and that's fatal in a situation like this)
  8. Just made me realize---straight wing, straight canards---but a swept tail?
  9. They look weird from any angle, but this REALLY shows how weird they are...
  10. You could always spend a minute to try to snag one anways, to sell to those MW members who still haven't been able to get one over the years. (without them paying scalpers 2x retail or more)
  11. If the rainbow coating has deteriorated to the point that it looks bad---strip it off.
  12. Yeah, THAT's the important thing to take away from all this!
  13. No one else has ever read/heard of the whole "color-culture" thing? Why certain colors of soap/detergents don't sell well in certain countries? Cool vs warm whites for certain things? Unless of course, it was all a lie... (but then why teach it in school?)
  14. So few characters from there went on to the other SNK games. King and Ryo are about it that I recall.
  15. And most every valk has primary colors for the accents or main color. Shin's 0D being one of the few t hat doesn't.
  16. I really almost wonder if it's a cultural thing. I swear Asia just plain likes brighter more intense colors, and "the western world" tends to go more drab. You see it in video games, movies, mecha, etc. And so the one valk in existence that is a "dull" blue and not a Max/Michael blue, really "catches the western eye" or something.
  17. You know, it was a lot harder to leak movies when they used actual film, and not just multi-gigabyte files. (Hey, it wasn't THAT long ago, I know I've seen actual film canisters at my main local theater fairly recently)
  18. I've gotten PDF's from Lulu.com, I figured others would offer it too.
  19. Just got my Gouf R35---and it is two-tone blue, but VERY subtle. Wish it looked more like it did in the instructions (a more obvious two-tone effect).
  20. Possibly stupid question, but is it available in a "universal" format like a PDF from Amazon/BN? I only see "reader" versions there----because posting a review at Amazon would probably gain the most visibility, but so far only ibooks seems to offer the format I'd like. (I don't like reading on a phone, nor even an ipad really---I'm most comfy with a real screen/PC--but that means I need a PDF etc, not a nook/kindle/reader version)
