    If they really loved us, they'd re-release these packs in SPACESHIP! colors: http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/5172-1 http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/5175-1 http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/5173-1

    It's molded to be off-set a bit, but not actually cracked. Also, looking through what I currently have, and what's needed to upgrade/retro-ify Benny's ship, I'm seriously lacking a few "essentials". Notably, these: That's the essential basic "ship landing gear" piece, and Benny's ship has no gear at all from what I can see. IMHO it's the biggest design oversight----every main spacship set I can think of had 1 of 2 pieces used in large numbers as landing gear, the other being this: Which I have tons of, but not what I want for Benny's I think. Lots of other little things I think of as "space" parts that aren't in his ship, but his ship seemingly being smooth-bottomed stuck out the most at me. (really, I wanted EVERY single "space" part to be found in Benny's ship---but there's really not that many---I was hoping it'd be like buying every single classic and Futuron set at once, parts-type-wise---but even the basic "hose" isn't there, they're new-style big hoses)

    Define "old VF-19". The VF-19 mold is pretty new, and this one is somewhat based on it. The old YF-19 mold is exactly that, and most of the issues (and later fixes) it had wouldn't really apply to this one as it shares no parts with it.

    Yup. I sure hope that's the actual name on the box. Though what I'm really waiting/hoping for are detailed analysis of the mass-market toys vs the "actual" models in the film. I'd totally be OK with a much larger more expensive direct-sales-only version of most of the main sets. And yes, surprised at how good the "not the actual famous actor" voice-cameo-imitation was. (won't spoil it, but it's the one where everyone else in his group reprised their role in that scene) PS---really, my only disappointment in the film "bricks-wise" was when they mentioned the monorail----and it was just a simple tile-based railway, not actual Lego monorail pieces. How cool would an elaborate monorail set have been?

    Topic title/tags edited now that we know for certain.

    Said to be Leader class.

    Hunh. He's an F-14/F-15/F-18/VF-1... The tailplanes having a greater span than the wings looks really really weird with the wings swept back though.

    I think Zero is near the bottom, story-wise, but I love the Sv-51, and to a lesser degree the 0D. (have NO desire for a 0A/0S, never have and never will buy one). But I've been waiting a decade for a 0D. The least they could do is get the main color right.
  9. David Hingtgen
    VF-0D looks worryingly "blue", it's as intense a blue as Max's -1J. Which it most certainly shouldn't be. ::edit:: Here's a quick tweak I did, to try to match the actual OVA/boxart. Left original, right mine. Grey-blue, not *BLUE!*. Not the color of Max's 1J. Yeesh, did Arcadia actually watch Zero?

    Not TV-style, not purchasing. Serously, why do they only do the more complex/detailed DYRL ones? TV-style should be much cheaper/quicker/easier to produce....

    A big chunk of the movie's enjoyment is based on "how much do you like Batman" (and even Batman memes). Do you enjoy HISHE-style Batman? Because that's the Batman here. (which is a hilariously awesome Batman IMHO) PS---if you really like Lego Batman, be sure to stay for the whole credits to hear the whole Batman song. (there is no after-credits scene though, so there's no reason to stay besides the soundtrack---including the Everything is Awesome remix)
  12. David Hingtgen
    Very good, but not quite amazing/epic. Best line in the movie is "meow". (really!) That, or Batman's last line. Tons of stuff for anyone of any age though, EVERY generation/series is referenced.

    They don't move, they're just "carved into the head". (never seen a valk talk yet!)
  14. David Hingtgen
    So he's got a mouth over his mouthplate?
  15. David Hingtgen
    If I can get one from HLJ, I'll get one. Otherwise no---not worth the hassle/cost. Especially when there may be YF-30 repaints to get...

    Really, the one place it needs chrome most of all, are the stacks. And they don't even get silver PAINT, much less chrome. And doing the bumper that way just looks weird. "Please ignore that mis-matched outer half-inch on each side".
  17. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, Winter Soldier's identity seems to be "less-known" among movie-goers and superhero-fans than I thought. I mean, I've never read any Captain America comics ever, and I know who he is. (and it was rumored/set-up in the other movies of the "Avengers" series) (trying to be as non-spoilery as possible)
  18. David Hingtgen
    Reverse is also true---we never saw an alt-mode on-screen for Shockwave.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Many? Silver-grey Swoop, Silver-grey Grimlock, Silver-Grey Galva-Magnus-Motormaster-Tron, Dark silver-Grey Lockdown... One bright green 'bot doesn't counteract all the other new ones being "more of the same".
  20. David Hingtgen
    Animated is the best overall series IMHO. Beast Wars has a greater story/arc, but Animated is just plain FUN. It redefined Blitzwing (in a good way) and introduced Bulkhead who is now a staple. That's a big accomplishment. And heck, Animated Shockwave is more "G1 Shockwave" than the actual G1 toon was!

    Would appreciate an "X hours from now" post when the time is known/likely. Converting from Tokyo to Eastern to Central to "late Monday vs early Tuesday" and taking into account the Intl dateline etc often gets complicated.
  22. David Hingtgen
    I haven't compared their Kira-poses directly, but figured that alone cemented who it was supposed to most directly link to.
  23. David Hingtgen
    They've gotta be on ball-joints, as they're all parallel in fighter mode. Adjust to suit.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Started out good, but went on way too long. And the whole singing bit was just inane. Just show the first 15 secs, and it's a great commercial.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Piratical! (a small nitpick---really should have had black tailfins, instead of being the same grey as everything else----the black stripe on the fin is insufficient)
