    Quess is much, much worse. And considering she had a lot fewer lines/screentime, that's saying something.

    I find it surprising that LEGO simply didn't have enough product on the shelves to support the movie. The hype won't last forever. And having the most-desired item come out last isn't very good either. (If there's one thing that could have helped boost LEGO in the long run, it'd be a retro-classic set to bring people out of their dark age-----but Benny's ship can't do that if it's not on the shelves! And it's not going to do it half a year after the movie came out, either, when everyone's moved on to the next retro-movie/game). What a wasted opportunity.

    The F-16 got just as much stuff piled onto it as the F-15, and earlier in its life. The F-14 came close at the end. (While the F-16 is darn-near primarily a multi-role attacker nowadays, the original spec was really a daytime dogfighter---not interceptor, not all-weather)

    Yup! This will be the third YF-19 I've bought, yet I currently have none. I also currently only have a single VF-1.

    I tried, but that was the biggest version of the chart I can find. It's just barely readable. You can assume that almost everything listed is a "minus", the only "plus" ones are drones and a couple F-16's.

    Does anyone other than Beale have any? I think every U-2 is technically "on detachment from Beale" if not at Beale.

    I got a bag of old light grey bricks just before they went away. Also got old grey plates and blue plates. Really wish LEGO still offered them----VERY useful, wish I'd bought more when I had the chance. 5 bucks for bags like THIS: http://peeron.com/inv/sets/10061-1 http://peeron.com/inv/sets/10011-1 http://peeron.com/inv/sets/10145-1 http://peeron.com/inv/sets/10148-1 Anyone who tries to build anything, quickly realizes that you need more PLATES and not more bricks, and the bricks you do need are one-wides, not two-wides like LEGO loves to give in their "standard buckets of bricks".

    That's the current plan for 2015-2018. I was looking at the numbers and thinking "dang, that's a LOT of A-10's"----then I read some more---yup, that's ALL the A-10's gone. But don't worry, they just delivered the first F-35 to Luke AFB! Surely that will make up for it.

    From Sidecutter, talking to the guys behind this one: "The Blue version of bluestreak will be release later this year or beginning of next year. We are still negotiating with takara for that project."
  10. David Hingtgen
    So, it seems that MP-18B isn't the highly-desired "blue Bluestreak" but rather G1-toy-accurate pure silver.

    I've gone through and un-modified and verified completeness of all but one of my Star Wars sets, so will be putting them up for sale soon. (need money to fund buying blue parts on Bricklink---I swear, it's like LEGO tried to avoid making blue parts this year---they're almost non-existent except for Benny's ship)

    93-02 Camaro, technically.

    Walthers Solvaset is notably stronger than most. Champ's is the strongest, but no longer made.
  14. David Hingtgen
    Still waiting for Grace's.
  15. David Hingtgen
    Really, this still hasn't been posted here?

    Now I have to go find and listen to the entire Famicom Contra soundtrack...
  17. David Hingtgen
    I think everything in the movie is new. Even Batman himself. (it is a different cowl-mold).
  18. David Hingtgen
    "Desiring to do" and "actually figuring out how to do it" are totally different things though.

    If they really want to convince me to buy their DINObot, then show me the DINO mode. Excluding Grimlock, the Dinobots spent like, entire episodes in dino mode. It's almost like robot-mode is their alt-mode.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Really should have been 2 long movies, like Kill Bill. It's way more than 1, but just not enough to make 3 out of, even with all the addendums/notes/filler/Legolas they could stuff in.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Even retro-er: The Japanese Famicom version of Castlevania 3 had better music. Literally had an additional soundchip the US one didn't. Thus, we got "simplified" versions of the music. Here's the REAL soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdlOdjd1DMo Be sure to click "show more" to open up the clickable track-list.

    The size range you specified covers the majority of TF figures ever made. Asking for Razorclaw to be larger than the limbs is kinda against how the team has always been portrayed, as that is against toy/animation/comic. The Predacons have always been the exception in that they are explicitly all the same size. They are not a scramble-city combiner. But what you're asking for I think may be closest to UT's version.
  23. David Hingtgen
    How can you mention Castlevania 4 and not its music?
  24. David Hingtgen
    If you're including everything from a wave 1 Deluxe like Starscream, to a Voyager like Springer---then---all of them really. UT's bots I think are a bit bigger than Starscream, while MMC's are mostly Springer-ish, in height. TFC's---well, Nemean is bigger than all of those, but the limb bots are much smaller and unknown exactly what size they'll be. You kind of HAVE to pick SOMETHING to base a size comparison on. You can't exclude real-life alt-mode and the G1 toy and the G1 animation---there's nothing left. That said--my Predaking will be much larger than my Menasor. That's correct IMHO.

    There's that word again.
