  1. Rubbing alcohol can remove most tampo prints from most plastics safely. Just use a Q-tip and rub for a while.
  2. Max and Milia colors are always an option. (actually, on this plane, I think Moaramia's would rock)
  3. Gah, can't believe I forgot that. I'd take that over any other valk, even a new YF-19. Oh, and M&M v2 reissues too, please.
  4. My PS2 thumbsticks have that issue too---it makes the knobs collect insane amounts of dust, since they're just "ever so slighty moist/sticky". I don't think using them makes a difference---I once went a year without using the controller, and it made no difference---still got sticky and collected dust due to "ooze".
  5. I've gotta get caught up. I think I saw like the first ep of the season, and have a massive backlog after that.
  6. Here's what was on the now missing page: He posted a screen cap of a message from Amazon--they credited £50 to his account for informing them and being an "upstanding customer". He claimed it was karma and was for the good of everyone to prevent higher prices in the future. He created a new thread for that, not merely a new post.
  7. IIRC, quite a few Robotech fans took delight in alerting HG to the few places selling Toycom valkyries in the US... ::edit:: Wait, there's more! Stealth gloating? http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/751190-why-you-should-decent-human-being.html
  8. Well, since the reissue of ROTF Bruticus was 135, I doubt a leader class fig will be less.
  9. Yes, he is the reason Classics G2 Ramjet was cancelled, IIRC.
  10. Oooooh, things just heated up at TFW. Nothing like revealing to an angry fandom that you called Hasbro corporate to let them know they were undercharging.... http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/746563-mp-10-amazon-exclusive-uk-38.html#post8778934
  11. Seconded---I like Wing Gundams to be "clean". They are not military suits to be worked on by conscripts etc with a bunch of warning stencils---they're maintained by the pilots and a few other specialists.
  12. I swear Takara watches second-hand prices nowadays, and re-issues anything "notable" at a much higher price than it originally was to "get in on it". First Energon/ROTF Bruticus, and now Leader Brawl is coming back: Probably cost like 200 bucks though... (but if it actually looks like that, it may be worth it)
  13. VF-25F re-release. Seriously, I expected it in 2012. (and I know many here want a VF-25S, too) As for NEW stuff: VF-11B M3 Milia or VFX-2 Ravens (M7 Milia would be ok, but the M3 scheme is so much better) There's quite a few others I'd like or even buy, but the above are the only ones I really WANT.
  14. If the missile pods/rear haunches could be moved up higher in leg mode, Not-Tantrum would look a lot better. Or conversely--where did the alt-mode front shoulders go?----if they remained in their alt-mode location, it'd balance out the look of the leg-mode. Also---combining sword is even cooler than Hercules' combining gun.
  15. Only if it mounts parallel. (hey, that's a legitimate comment---Yamato seemed to have issues with that basic concept on more than one of their valks)
  16. IIRC, the "chest plate" you see is actually the *underside* of the wings---see if that helps you figure it out.
  17. The M3 VF-11 schemes are awesome, I'd buy Milia's in a second.
  18. Hmmn. Has anyone tried to remove the clear green paint from a Yamato visor? The early v2 VF-1's had very dark visor paint, I think I'd risk trying to repaint mine. (assuming I can get it off nicely, without crazing the plastic). Anyone tried just soaking it in alcohol for a day? PS---aren't the YF-19 nose sensors molded in red?
  19. Ah, but will it look intentional/seamless?
  20. That'd be UN Spacy.
  21. This is the "youngest" thread I could find that's even slightly relevant, but I just had to post this: Green Ranger=best ranger.
  22. Everything I've read indicate it's one of the best of all, and better than the MG in some ways. I'm very tempted, though I had planned for most all my Unicorn stuff to be HG/MG kits, not RD's. (though the gold trim pretty much meant "no Sinanju kit for me") Really, I need to see Sinanju animated more before I commit to having one in any form. So far it's been quite absent lately in the OVA. I assume it'll show up again. (no spoilers please)
  23. It was Noin's main suit. That's why I want one. Also I'll need some for Shenlong to battle. Anyways--adding the option set makes the Leo go from about the cheapest to the most expensive RD (of the ones I'd like to own). But I really want the shield. (seriously Bandai--no SHIELD? I don't need the Dober gun or shoulder cannons, those were secondary--but the shield is pretty standard equipment---it'd be like making Sinanju's shield optional or something)
