    FoC Metroplex coming it seems: Also, MMC's Bovis (Tantrum) is ready to go---they say the Sept 15 release date is still holding, and here's the final final product: If you've not ordered him yet, you may want to consider "Planet Steel Express", as they are the closest thing to an official store for MMC, and will have him first----plus free shipping if you hit $150 (which is easy with 3P stuff).

    Nope, it is what I said----demo disc from the Official Playstation magazine with a VF-11. ::edit:: Sold!

    The yellow circle (or lack of) has been discussed in detail before----I just can't remember most of what was said! But IIRC, it is correct for the majority of scenes, or something. (kind of like how it occasionally had a yellow heatshield)

    I was cleaning out my room and way at the bottom of a pile of old games was something I thought I'd lost---my copy of the Playstation Magazine demo disc, that had the US-version of VFX-2 on it. I couldn't find any copies on ebay, so I honestly don't know what it's worth. Surely someone here might want it? I haven't played it in years, but I distinctly recall that the demo stage was basically "the end of Macross Plus" and you were fighting a Ghost while circling around Macross City, in a VF-11B. (in the awesome VFX-2 paint scheme of course---best VF-11 scheme ever) Would be happy to sell it to someone for a few bucks, please PM, or post here. (anyone who's bought a game here from me before, knows I keep my stuff in immaculate condition---this has been kept in its own proper jewel case, not the little envelope it came in)

    An extra optional head would be fine, but technically only "horned" is on-screen canon, and the only one with a definite modex number (102). If they include both, then they probably wouldn't print the name/numbers, again. I'm still irked that we got STICKERS for the modex numbers on Grace's, so as to be able to "customize" it with any assortment of non-canon numbers. The mold only matches Grace's, so just print Grace's number on it like they did for Brera. It'd be like offering Milia's VF-1J, and then giving a sticker sheet for the pilot name and modex number, when Max's had it printed on---there's only one just like that, so print it up as hers of course.

    Still missing the grey markings on top of the intakes. (Yamato did too, until we got Graham to point them out, then they added them in) Also hope they change the canopy framing to grey. It's black outside and around the canopy, but the canopy itself should be grey. Again, Yamato did get it right in the end. Anyone else think the canopy is a bit "peaky"? As in, the high point is too high? Kudos---shoulder armor does seem to angle upwards. ::edit:: With how dark the feet and hands are, I'm wondering if the canopy IS grey, it's just such a dark grey it's hard to tell from the black surrounding it. The close-up of the open canopy does look like it could be grey. I hope they lighten the final version----the grey areas are way too dark, almost black---they don't look much different than the actual black bits.

    The symbol works surprisingly well----how many would have noticed/known the original source? Anyways, I think the most interesting thing there, is that we now know that "Decepticon purple" is officially 266C.

    How on Earth was "TheWhiteDrewCarey" not available? Space limitations? No way someone else has that tag.

    So season 2 is set in China? I'd assume at least a couple eps cover the journey, as that's a heck of a long way for that era. I've been thinking about re-watching the original series- "to prepare"--haven't seen it since the first Nickelodeon airing, but I did see it all. Just don't remember 95% of it...

    I got a WAY bigger "Stier" vibe from it. (Xenogears).

    And watch for scraping the paint off the top of the nose.

    I like the theory that MMC is currently trolling all the other 3P companies by "announcing" stuff that's already been done or announced by others. All three recent reveals share a lot of parts.

    Need to build up my Paypal balance quick----anyone interested in my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles? (Or Panzer Dragoon Saga) ::edit:: Xenoblade sold.
  14. David Hingtgen
    That's good---here's hoping they tweak the CF's colors. (really, the striping needs tweaking far more than the main color--the main color merely needs to match itself better, but the striping could use a complete re-do)

    TFwiki itself is hilarious. (when it's not trying too hard to be so)
  16. David Hingtgen
    G1 Onslaught's head was small and oddly-shapen (especially from the side). "G1 accurate" can forgive any issue.

    After TFC's, I think at least a few people are looking for "sleeker" Superion jets, and while that Bruticus is awesome, I don't know how they'd do with jet-formers, kibble-wise. Blast-Off is the biggest/bulkiest of the team (compared to "iconic G1 look" so that doesn't bode all that well for making a fighter jet. ::edit:: Anyways, it's going to be HUGE: (that's not just Herc, that's Herc with the leg-extenders)

    South Africa's Gripens seem to have a unique camo pattern: And the Czechs have done one of the more creative Tiger Meet markings I've seen:

    Anti-theft spider thing? Sounds like what they put on the expensive LEGO sets.

    I got Reprolabels' "Classics Breakdown" set today----AKA, the set for FP's Car Crash. I bought it only for the red hood stickers, but they just don't work IMHO. Very first transformation attempt after applying one sticker---it peels up the corner. And trust me, I've transformed CC enough times to have perfected the "corner-avoidance" step you have to do the front fenders first, before rotating them to clear the hood---still not enough. The red hood sticker material looks AWESOME, but just not practical IMHO due to how the hood transforms. Maybe if you literally intend to keep it in combined mode forever. So I carefully removed the one experimental sticker I had tried and placed it back on the sheet. So it's a 99% unused, 100% complete sheet. Just one sticker had one corner peeled up a millimeter or two. But it's fine. 5 bucks including shipping in US/Canada, if anyone wants it.

    NUNS marking on wing is totally canon and visible on-screen.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Only the ones on the legs are canon, a clear homage to the "UN SPACY" ones on other valks. First release was like that. As I said before---the ones on the outboard engines look OK, but all the others seem "over done".
  23. David Hingtgen
    Heard back from HS---short answer: No. Long answer--very interesting. They say they have "held one back" as a source for spares for the people who ordered one from them.
  24. David Hingtgen
    OK, going by the instructions---they removed the built-in foldable gunpod holder, and replaced it with a separate clear green piece that has nowhere to go in most modes? That seems incredibly "backwards". Also, the page of instructions after the stand, but before the FAST packs---what's that all about? Tips for going back to fighter mode?

    HLJ can't get parts for a Renewal VF-25, I already asked them (and I bought it from them). I also sent an email to Hobby Search, just in case. (I didn't ask them to GIVE me a part, I asked to BUY a part). Haven't heard back from HS yet. I have an account with HS, but have never actually ordered aything (because it always pre-sells out! I'd order from them if I could---I've sure tried my darndest to buy from them)
