    Purple? Hmmmn. That's rare for a valk. Any screen caps? I'm curious about exactly what hue of purple. (I'm hyper-picky about purple, I only like certain ones)
  2. David Hingtgen
    Ok, then what are the other colors available for YF-30 striping? Kakizaki green and Fokker yellow?
  3. David Hingtgen
    I'm curious about the blue YF-30. But I too, want Isamu's -29 above all else.

    Watch DYRL and Plus next. Get the shortest/best stuff done first.

    IMHO, Reprolabels has been going overboard lately. They want to cover up like 90% of a figure. Massive sheets that wrap around corners and edges with 16 folds to cover an entire arm. Also, trying TOO hard to get every last G1 detail on a new version that just won't work with it. The whole "you don't have to/shouldn't use them ALL" point is valid, but it is making some sheets very big and very expensive, when you only want a few key, core stickers that make a big impact. I'd really like some of their sheets to be available in smaller "essentials" versions. I bet they'll be making "G1 Stunticon" sheets for the FP Menasor, and they're going to try to put every one of the G1 bot-mode markings on the new figures---and they'll look ghastly if they do. Have you seen the new FoC Swindle sheet? They sticker his wheels. All of it. Hub, sidewalls, and treads. Because his other alt-mode is sorta based on the SDF-1. And he also turns into a jet. A transforming jet robot. Based on Macross. See the pattern?

    Is that just the kit or have they officially changed the paint to more like the refit?

    Re: Divebomb. It's just a render, that's not plastic. Other than "black" it's impossible to know exactly what hues the actual finished toy will have. Absolutely. It's this one: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radicons-customs/632409-predaking-2-0-revised-edition.html

    God do I hate electronic buzzing sounds. LCD, CRT, speakers with no signal---they all buzz. If plasma TV's emit a more noticeable hum, then I'd despise them. (I've never really had a chance to examine one in a "viewing environment"---only at BestBuy and during family get-togethers, so only surrounded by other noises)
  9. David Hingtgen
    Divebomb's imitating Wing Zero here, I think.

    It used to be quite the opposite---"game mode" circa 2005 would turn on most every "image-enhancing" option there was, to try to create greater contrast and "pop". This would of course, kill performance and induce lag. I highly suspect there were very few TV-designers who played games or something during that period, and their test-subject was their kid's copy of Mario Party or something, and their goal was to make it look as much like a box of crayons as possible. (and we all know Mario Party pays no attention to what you actually press on the controller, it's utterly luck/BS, so any actual performance issues would be invisible)

    I very much likes the sides of the new Ferrari, but the ends (especially the front) seem way too vertical and angular to go with those scooped curves. You'd think the front and rear fascias came from a different car. The new Lambo is at least consistent---saw-tooth angles, everywhere.
  12. David Hingtgen
    That's surprising---did they finally get smart? I know that a couple years ago, game mode was universally awful.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Not a word on the new Lambo? http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lamborghini-veneno-in-detail-geneva-2013/ (though of course, it's even rarer than the Reventon, basically a concept car you'll never actually see----less than 1 per continent)
  14. David Hingtgen
    True for all TV's---ANYTHING they attempt to tweak/fiddle/enhance will slow things down. You want the raw unfiltered signal going straight from the console to the screen. Motion interpolation, "smoothing"---all bad! If something can be turned off in the menu, do so. Turn off everything you can. You may have to set the TV to "movie" or "cinema" mode first to be able to turn some things off-----movie/cinema mode is usually the "purest" mode on a TV, with few "enhancements" active. Sadly, "game mode" is often among the worst possible things to do.

    Takara goes for G1 animation, period, for MP's lately. That means Prowl's symbol is centered, with nothing on his leg. It's why Sideswipe has no blue markings at all, despite the toy's many stickers. (and an all-white rocket launcher)
  16. David Hingtgen
    And if the rumors are to believed, Lambo has already ended Takara's license agreement. No further production/re-issues. If you want Sideswipe or Red Alert---buy now, or you'll never have one outside of ebay. (it's to the point that Tigertrack may be cancelled)
  17. David Hingtgen
    I'm certain he'd have recognized them if he saw the actual toy. I mean, it'd be nigh-impossible to identify Wildrider or DeadEnd's alt-modes from the show.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but what kind of bumper stickers would Hasbro print on Bluestreak? Maybe give him spinners, dub wheels, and other inappropriate crap like they did to Thundercracker.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Lots of pics today---I don't think anyone guessed "gunmetal" for how they'd color MP Bluestreak though:
  20. David Hingtgen
    KnockOut+BattleCat=awesome! And since I don't own the RiD mold of Arcee, I think I'll pick up the new one, too:
  21. David Hingtgen
    I must admit, Acid Storm looks MUCH better than I expected. Still---he has no tattoos, and instead has tasteful Decepticon logos on his shoulders-----why couldn't they have done that with TC?
  22. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I mean, pink tires etc is going a little far. 98% pink would have been plenty, didn't need to do the tires and nozzle interior...
  23. David Hingtgen
    Says 197 for me, now. (Though it's up)
  24. David Hingtgen
    Personally, I don't think the Stunticon limbs can swap. I think it's going to be like TFC Uranos---they may be able to come CLOSE to the other limb modes due to articulation, but can't really swap--not without issues.

    June for Luca's? At that rate it'll be 2014 for Alto's or Ozma's to be re-issued....
