  1. Adding clear nail polish to the hinges and/or edges fixes every valk gear door I've ever tried it on.
  2. Really? I think MP seekers are 10x easier. You at least know when you're "done" with a section. Most of the time with a -171 it's more like "well, I guess that's it for this step---the part positioning is about an 85% match to the drawing in the manual, but nothing really "clicked" into place nor seems to be locked at max extension..."
  3. 25 shipped? Probably cheaper than driving around various Targets hunting for it all the time... (also guaranteed to not have mis-matched thighs, which has happened to several people at TFW)
  4. Well dang it, should have sold mine already. Now that AmiAmi has it cheaper, there's no way I'll get close to what I paid for it... I'll probably have to sell it at a loss, rather than wait a few months and hope it becomes rare....
  5. Still just renders, but new pic of "Bovis and Fortis" with the reveal that Bovis/Fortis have such "all-around well-formed/detailed" molds that you can actually flip everything around, and swap the top/bottom in beast mode, to make them look more different:
  6. Totally real, and they're held on with real duct-clamps.
  7. Boy, Iran is just popping out new planes left and right lately---here's their latest stealth drone. (yes, stealth---they say you can't detect it)
  8. Better than paying 400 to Ebay...
  9. I think I've decided to sell my VF-171CF now, rather than wait and hope it becomes more valuable later in a few months----I mean, I sold my YF-21 like two weeks before Yamato went bankrupt, so why break the trend?
  10. From Cybertron! And there'll be big huge explosions when they come! It'll be the first half of the movie...
  11. I thought Avengers was also a better "Tony Stark being Tony Stark" movie. His interactions with the other Avengers rocked, and worked better because we knew the characters. Asides from Pepper, we didn't really know anybody he talked to in this movie, and a bunch of them were throwaway goons/side characters.
  12. I personally thought the first half of the movie had a very Mass Effect-esque vibe.
  13. To me, IM3 felt like a re-hash of a bunch of other semi-recent movies put together, tied together with Tony Stark.
  14. Their trailers alone seem to have more content worth watching than the whole of IM3. The recommendation is more along the lines of "if you've only got time/money to see X number of movies this summer, IM 3 is definitely skippable---you won't miss much"
  15. Quite skippable IMHO, if you've only got time/desire to see a couple movies this summer see Trek and Superman. Avengers was a better "Iron Man movie". As was IM 2. (And I'm not a big fan of IM 2)
  16. Real, quality ship models will ALWAYS look good, because they physically exist in 3 dimensions, and have basically "infinite resolution". CG will always have a polygon/pixel limit, and even the best lighting/shaders are not perfect. But again--real models with real light, will always have "perfect" texture/shadows/highlights.
  17. I think so--I just plain don't like the look. It's not so much "it's not '86 movie Springer" but rather I just plain don't like the shape, regardless of who it's supposed to be. I've seen plenty of comic redesigns I like and would love to have figures of---but not this one.
  18. I plan to sell my Springer, let me know if you're interested. Could save you some gas money if nothing else. (nothing wrong with it, just not that impressed---mainly bot mode---car mode's great)
  19. You're neither getting old nor "being a douche"---there's just a lot of newbies and clueless people lately. (and Robotech fans are often both)
