    Starshipmodeler often has a few hidden gems. I got my Hase YF-19 there. http://www.starshipmodeler.biz/shop/index.cfm Gundamstoreandmore.com Imageanime.com

    That's a great example of the VF-0D's color. It's a kinda dull grey-blue, not "BLUE!".

    Well, tripling the price of something does tend to make people question the value of authentic vs KO. Takara's re-release price is so inflated, that the *cheaper KO* still costs more than the original US release!

    And even up to the finished film, it could still be wrong. The tank in the 07 movie is Brawl, (according to everything from toys to games) but the actual subtitle in the film says Devastator. So it could still be "wrong" that way.

    Ok then---no UN SPACY markings? Fail. (and one side needs them to be upside-down!)

    Dang. I remember seeing the Wing Zero at Toys R Us, but never bought it as I had the PG kit. I did buy the Arch Enemy Tallgeese III though. (and it's for sale!) The Arch Enemy figures are very nice, I'd still say among the best mecha figures ever to be mass-released in the US.

    No strap? Fail.

    Based on what's been shown at the UK ToyFair this week, some stuff seems 99% confirmed, and some stuff seems "likely, as there probably isn't much mis-information going on at that place". So, we now know (probably) that: The Lamborghini Aventador is And the fan-rage-inducing (once it becomes more widely known) identity of the grey cabover truck is the evil Decepticon Months ago the producers said people wouldn't be happy when it was revealed---and boy were they right! (of course, that brings up the point---if you know your target audience won't like it that far in advance---why do it in the first place? With how little most Bayformers resemble their G1 namesakes, why even use the names at all? Either use more appropriate ones, or make up new ones.) If the "new" Star Trek movies had "Kirk, the evil Klingon doctor"-----a lot of fans wouldn't take that well. This isn't quite to that level, but it IS really, really messing with an established, iconic character. Or maybe they'll pull a reverse Sentinel Prime with him. But that'd seem even worse somehow, frankly lazy/cheap, since we just saw it in the last movie.

    BB was ANNOUNCED at the same time as Wheeljack, but I don't think it was ever intended to release at the same time. Anyways---new pic time!

    More money for 3....er, THIRD PARTY figures.

    Assuming the scan isn't perfect, here's just a slight lighting tweak I did to try to bring out some of the details, without altering the true colors:

    Ozma's -29 *is* dark. It is not the same color as his -25. Anways---still would prefer one of the alternate game colors on the *-30* mold, but this gives me hope that Bandai plans to do as many 30th Ann. game colors as they can.
  15. David Hingtgen
    I hated the dark tint----this may sound ironic, but it made it look like a toy. Real things (cars, planes) have more subtle tints. This is much better.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Pretty much what Mike said. Multiple names for the same thing, but using just one name kinda implies you're omitting/forgetting the others. Thus, an acronym was sorely needed. And "HGUC" is much worse, as is "CUHG".
  17. David Hingtgen
    Most real planes are like that too, for single vs two-seat configuration. F-15, F-16, F-18... The F-5 is the first one that comes to mind where the 2-seater is actually longer. A-7 too.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yup, POM is inherently "waxy" and/or "slippery" to the touch. ABS is "most toys, LEGOs, etc".
  19. David Hingtgen
    What is there to make of? It's a placeholder pic of the last movie's mold, stating "the JP release will have better paint". You can copy-paste that for TF5 and TF6 too, and it'll be correct...
  20. David Hingtgen
    It's a rather official abbr. now, especially with events like CP3P. I mean, people use OP and UM all the time. "3P MP UM" is a lot quicker than "unofficial masterpiece-style Ultra Magnus" yet is universally understood among the fandom.
  21. David Hingtgen
    Well, the 0D does already have a CF repaint option. So that's 2 schemes right there. And maybe they could include Wolfpack markings like they did with the -0A.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but those parts match perfectly in the not-quite-white DYRL valks. I would bet it's either: A. Factory/Arcadia didn't notice that they were using old stocks of pure-white hinges that didn't quite match. B. They intentionally used leftover pure white hinges to save money, figuring people wouldn't notice a slight color change. (oh, how they don't know Macross toy fans...)

    More money for 3P!

    Just got FP's Protector from a member over at TFW. It just cements the fact that FP has the best color-matching and paint-apps. The red is a *perfect* match to Classics Rodimus. (I didn't buy Maniaking, so decided to get something else)
  25. David Hingtgen
    I love the Sv-51, like the VF-0D a lot. Don't care at all about the 0A/S. Didn't really like the show much either! (really, ALL the good scenes had Roy in them, but there just way too many long boring Royless scenes) I think I rank M7 above M0.
