    Definitely overdue for a new OS SSD. I'm looking for the most reliable, longest-lasting one I think. Performance is secondary (all SSD's are fast). Probably just 1TB. (If I go for 2, I'd probably just make that my new storage one, and convert my current 1TB storage into my OS one). On that note---I really don't feel like reinstalling EVERYTHING. Do cloning programs etc really work? As in, Windows won't freak out, or python paths etc. It's truly a clone, and everything should work? ::edit:: I've always had Samsung ones in my PCs, but am open to trying others.

    Yeah, but Arcee already has the MAXL's coloring, (and curvature), Minerva has neither.

    SMS is higher priority, due to so many -25's and -29's out there----but I would be interested in a Galaxy logo, for the -27:

    Proper on-screen-accurate dull olive green would be nice for a change...

    OMG, now that you mention it and I look again---that explains everything and it works so much better. It's not a G1 Prime+VF-19 hybrid, it's 2001 RiD Prime (Fire Convoy) as a VF-19... I just might buy it now... (I LOVE the RiD toys---but am quite disappointed in the new Omega Prime---it's like, why bother making a new toy from scratch, just to make it 99% identical to the old one? It solves none of the major issues, it basically doubles down on them). And this should be far cheaper than "new Omega Prime".

    Am I the only one who'd like to see an Arcee Mylene MAXL?
  7. David Hingtgen
    Yeah---comparing it to the OG seems kinda pointless. The darker grey feet etc are not new compared to the previous release.
  8. David Hingtgen
    It's weird how consistent it is. Gotta be where a sprue-gate for the clear-parts mold is or something.
  9. David Hingtgen
    No, not the stand itself. Just the logo. Not red/blue/yellow/green, but black. A simple black circle with a white skull and bones.
  10. David Hingtgen
    I also vote for a plain black version. No name. Make it work for any VF-1/VF-4/VF-0 etc we see from skull squadron. (plus, black looks cool)
  11. David Hingtgen
    I have never had my VF-4 on a stand before----and it deserves the very best:
  12. David Hingtgen
    Trypticon was never pink.

    Keeping the drop-mechanism, but implementing the swinging-rear-doors aspect of the original, would be very difficult I imagine. Pretty much has to be one or the other. So, if you want rear doors, you also need to redo the entire center section to have either a drive-in rover, or a slide-in cargo pod. At which point we might as well just start from scratch, since the entire mid-section needs to be massively re-worked in that case...

    THIS. M&M valks that are white, not grey. (and the right arm-armor of course).
  15. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, I've had similar happen to me---bid+win, then it's immediately cancelled for no apparent reason. Not often, but even 1 time for "something hard to find" is very annoying. "Retroactively deciding no proxies after you use one to bid" definitely seems to be a thing.

    Non-PF VF-0D please, but just mold it in the correct base colors of plastic. Slate blue upper, pale grey lower. Not "deep cobalt blue and white". No need to paint it all over for $$$---just MOLD it the right color to start with. You know, like was originally shown LONG ago: (Admittedly, the HMR 0D does it even better, and using THOSE colors of plastic would be the best of all, they're great---but ANYTHING is better than what the first 1/60 actually released with, color-wise) I was so excited for this sample: Someone, somewhere, has this sample---and I'm so jealous. But even more so disappointed, that such massive color changes were made for the actual release.
  17. David Hingtgen
    They still haven't added the missing hip-stripe (though it's sometimes there in sample pics, but never actual releases). This time it's not even there on the promo pics.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Just bumping a bit to keep thread findable. Maybe "post your fave pic you've taken"? This is probably mine:

    I'm only going to comment on what seems to me to be a "doesn't get how airplanes work" issue, and skip any "alt-mode accuracy" things specific to Harriers/Concordes etc: Silverbolt's now a double-decker plane it seems. (look how high the cockpit is above the passenger windows---that only happens when the cockpit is a full deck higher than the passengers are). As a rule---the cockpit windows are level with the passenger windows, because everyone's seats are all bolted to the same floor. The 767 and 757 are about the most extreme examples----the 767 cockpit is 1 step above the main floor, the 757 cockpit is 1 step down from the main floor. That's as far as you can "stray". Other than that----you're either level with the main deck passengers, or WAY above them via staircase (747, A380, and even C-17/C-5 when moving troops or medical evacuation on the main deck) I wonder if Hasbro was trying to do more of a fighter jet cockpit for Silverbolt, which really doesn't scale or make sense with all the little passenger windows.

    How does the texture/shine of the new armor compare to the old?
  22. David Hingtgen
    Yes, but Bandai likely wouldn't be making Basara's wings from scratch, they'd take the CAD model they already have of Isamu's, and adjust it as needed---and that could easily include "forgetting" to remove Isamu's hardpoints. Anything they can reuse/modify from existing parts, they will. I imagine the landing gear etc will be identical.
  23. David Hingtgen
    The revival Alto is the same way--it's like they had to re-create the mask for the intake section's stripes but got it wrong, it no longer quite aligns with the collar/shoulder area. (the other parts in that are have engraved lines for the stripes, so that's much harder to 'get wrong' Your hip-panels fit in fighter mode a lot better than most revival Alto's I've seen, including mine.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Is the armor matte? It looks kinda "satin"---not as matte as renewal valks themselves, but not glossy either.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Wow, I only needed to watch the first 2 secs to go from "interested" to "hard no"---that side view of truck mode is atrocious. (I put a LOT of emphasis into truck mode, for my Primes---and so many sacrifice SO much in truck mode for such minimal gain in robot mode---there's no 'balance' at all between the modes, they're willing to do almost anything to make it look "1% more like that one screen shot" even if it instantly makes truck mode so much worse)
