    Nope, only coming in "bling" edition, only in China.

    It's exactly what they said it would be.

    If you've been to TFW, then you should know my feelings on the matter pretty well.

    I believe the first pic is his fave clear-coats. Testors Model Master acrylic gloss, semi-gloss, and flat.

    Want, but will wait for one of the other colors. Just WAY too similar to Alto's -25 otherwise.

    It's more of a "balance" thing----having a very brightly colored chest, then everything else quite minimal---makes it look like they "forgot" to color the limbs. Whereas in DYRL, it's all fairly evenly spread out. At least, that's how I see it.

    The simple answer is that the toys are not proportionate to the real thing. As in, within each other. The sizes/ratios are all wrong. Looks ok, but if you really do a side-by-side comparison to the real thing----you'll see lots of things are "off". And that screws everything up for trying to do a size/scale comparison. Think of it like----a 1/24 hood with a 1/32 bunk with a 1/28 grill with 1/26 fenders with 1/30 wheels with 1/25 doors all on a 1/22 chassis. It's sorta close, the parts fit together enough with some blending---but nothing is really quite right. Or even simpler----ROTF Prime is as accurate to the real truck, as G1 Sideswipe is to a real Countach. Yup, it's a Countach. But it sure isn't a "scale model" of one---proportions are definitely off, if you know what the real one really looks like. (this is a big reason people think MP Sideswipe looks "off" with his hood-chest----because he is now an accurate replica with a correctly-shaped hood, whereas the toy had a longer, skinnier hood) For all the "big complex recent" Primes, the wheels/tires are especially wrong, and screws up the proportions a lot. Also overall chassis length. They are "compressed" length-wise.

    The worst ever, which I cannot find any more, was one of those "print shops that'll print most anything on clothing" and someone had made a T-shirt that said "My Daddy Flies a Jet". The image was a B-29.

    Seen at WalMart a few days ago, thus probably a Veteran's Day display:

    Generally---it will not stay open in a "normal" open-canopy position. It usually will if you open it to like 80 degrees open. (open it all the way up, then push it back in on the hinge just a little bit)

    Plus there was no way to patch. Games on cartridges=it better work 100% the day it ships.

    FAR less 'net connection then. You'd only know about issues via magazines and newspapers.

    An all-new valk designed explicitly to be made into a figure (no anime magic), exclusive to Arcadia?

    Wingtip missiles act much like winglets---reducing tip vortices, and thus drag, thus increasing range a smidge. AMRAAMs seem to work better, mainly because they're bigger. However, it was found out that for an F-16, an AMRAAM is just a little too heavy, and they're causing cracks as the years go by. So there's been a trend to bringing the AMRAAMs back under the wings with the Sidewinders at the tips again.

    Global Hawks are big:

    I plan to buy a PS4 when KH3 or FF15 come out. Unless Ace Combat 7 mysteriously pops up first.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Is that *the* Fw190A, or a replica?
  19. David Hingtgen
    Opposite. Fighter mode looks awesome, battroid mode looks plain/unfinished.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, that doesn't have the darker gunpod or anything. Same one we've been seeing. Nice angle/lighting though.

    Yes yes---but then why are official MP-11 and MP-08 releases twice the price they originally were? Inflation hasn't caused prices to double in just a couple years. If anything, they should be cheaper, as the molds and development have already been paid for. Even I'm thinking of getting the KO MP-08. Yeesh, it'd be like if Chevy re-released the 2011 Impala, but now charged twice as much. "Hey, look, it's an old design! And now it costs way more!"

    IMHO, there's no such thing as "plays better with a Wiimote". I might have enjoyed Skyward Sword more if I could just use an analog stick (or two) for the sword moves.
  24. David Hingtgen
    As for transferring from my Wii---I don't own anything digital to transfer. Is there a NEED to use wiimotes? I still hate them. WiiU has a real (large) controller---a huge plus IMHO. A wiimote-free wii? Yes please.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Dang, I was thinking about trading in my Wii for the new WiiU+Mario+Luigi pack, but Wii's are practically worthless now.
