    Because Northrop was going for stealth above most all other considerations.

    Ouch, Monorail *track* alone is probably worth more than everything else you mentioned...

    You will need Bricklink.com, and/or Brickowl.com. Don't try to get what you need from Ebay. Rebrickable.com will also be very useful. (normally I'd say Peeron.com, but the site is effectively dead now--still superior to Rebrickable in several ways, but growing ever more outdated, since it has no set from 2012+) PS---I do plan to sell off all my "original grey" pieces, much of which is space-oriented. Let me know if you'd like a couple of pounds of grey...

    I feel the whole tournament (and behind-the-scenes PPSE scenes) are starting to "go on too long". I liked the pre-tournament stuff better I think. The 'race' episode seemed really pointless. Could have condensed the tournament a bit, and probably expanded more on "Reiji's new to the area/culture/planet".

    Nope. The gold fades away into nothingness, leaving the white background behind. That figure had the standard printing when new. Benny isn't really an accurate representation of how worn/old space guys usually look. The gold fades away, leaving a rather nice-looking solid white logo most of the time. They don't scratch off through all the layers of color like Benny's. (unless a cat or fork got to it)

    "First mold" meant exactly that. The 1/60 is far from the first VF-11 toy produced.
  8. David Hingtgen
    Yup. I almost can build that set from spare parts---never quite got there. Do have two pilots though, one with a totally mint torso. (Had about half the Blacktron stuff back in the day)
  9. David Hingtgen
    "Intermediate blue" if you want the exact color.

    It's surprising how rarely LEGO reissues sets. Hasn't been one in years AFAIK. I *really* hope for something that can be used for modifying Benny's ship---doesn't need to be a re-release, just another set of similar theme/color, incorporating some of the "space" parts that Benny's doesn't has. If we're really lucky---the next space theme will be classic blue and grey and clear-yellow.

    He made a joke out of Devastator's balls, so I don't put anything past him.

    Good luck getting dry transfers into grooves or smoothly around curves though.

    With few exceptions, waterslide decals come on blue paper. (and every one I've ever found that didn't, sucked)

    I'm a huge B-wing fan (my fave SW fighter) but I thought the price was way out of line and passed. A big pile of grey, and no minifigs? Should have been relatively cheap for its parts count, but instead it was the opposite. (plus no landing gear, and would liked to have seen some sand-blue parts)
  15. David Hingtgen
    The little mini-ships on Benny's are 4 studs wide, right? This may work then: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30157 (as either one can go on either wing, there needs to be attachment points on both sides) Comes in bley, but not blue. I couldn't find a 1x2 or 2x2 with pins like that---though I swear a 2x2 version of this exists. There's also this, but it's an old piece: Was made in blue, but not bley.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, EVERYBODY's first-mold VF-11 broke. Even sitting MISB it would. VF-0 shoulders have nothing on the early VF-11.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Red boat should be easy to replace.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Merely Xenoblade*ish*? It's Xenoblade with better graphics.

    I was thinking more of a plate-based solution if possible, using bricks and pins would make the wingtips thicker than they are. ::edit:: Hmmn, the tips already have 2 plates on them as-is, using a brick would only be 1 plate thicker---though only if you eliminate the blue tile on top and have just the bare brick. ::edit 2:: Though the little wingtip-ships themselves probably couldn't fit a brick/pin attachment system, they're tiny little things. PS----close-up pics from FBTB show that the only printed bits are the 2x3 slopes. All other markings are stickers. (I was pretty sure the tailfins were stickered, but I was hoping at least SOMETHING else was printed---like some of the tile pieces)
  20. David Hingtgen
    Yup, click-hinges suck. I thought LEGO had eliminated most of them by now, but it seems they're still around. Trying to think how they would have been connected "back in the day"----removable tile pieces over minimal studs?
  21. David Hingtgen
    I want G1-toy-colored MP Thundercracker on the new mold...
  22. David Hingtgen
    Yes, sorta. It's "zig-zagged" to look broken.
  23. David Hingtgen
    I thought MP-11 and MP-08 had rather different plastic, with MP-11 being halfway between the "cheap-looking" stuff and MP-08's "classic G1 Dinobot silver-grey".
  24. David Hingtgen
    If you've got that mostly complete in good shape, I'll buy it off you... (I *love* the first-wave Pirates stuff, more than any other Legos)

    Full 360 up-close video of Benny's ship: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9Sv6fkV6-k Shows lots of things not revealed before, like the side-mounted control-tiles in the cockpit, the round tiles for the "engine glow", etc. However---it does look like much of the belly is made of the "Playmobil" airplane fuselage parts: That is so "anti" Classic Space I'll have to modify it into "normal" bricks.
