    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.

    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

    Well, since the reissue of ROTF Bruticus was 135, I doubt a leader class fig will be less.
  4. David Hingtgen
    Yes, he is the reason Classics G2 Ramjet was cancelled, IIRC.

    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

    Too intensely purple. Should be a touch less saturated.
  7. David Hingtgen
    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.

    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)

    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.

    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.
  11. David Hingtgen
    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)
  12. David Hingtgen
    IIRC, the "chest plate" you see is actually the *underside* of the wings---see if that helps you figure it out.
  13. David Hingtgen
    The M3 VF-11 schemes are awesome, I'd buy Milia's in a second.
  14. David Hingtgen
    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?
  15. David Hingtgen
    Thank you for finding a better thread.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Ah, but will it look intentional/seamless?
  17. David Hingtgen
    That'd be UN Spacy.
  18. David Hingtgen
    This is the "youngest" thread I could find that's even slightly relevant, but I just had to post this: Green Ranger=best ranger.
  19. David Hingtgen
    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)

    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)
  21. David Hingtgen
    "For those who care about the fins being parallel". It's nice to know you remembered.
  22. David Hingtgen
    After some googling, where 95% of the uses of the word were from Gunpla forums asking "WTF is a tetron decal", or translations of Gundam kit descriptions using the word, I believe: "tetron" may be the specific term to mean "normal" clear-backed stickers. Like, most every Yamato valk ever has a large sheet of "tetron" stickers. They are not foil-backed. They are not dry transfers. They are not water-slides. They are "tetron". Maybe it's what the Japanese call "peel and stick" stickers that aren't printed on mylar/foil. But there's not a single reference as to what the term actually means/describes as far as I can tell. It's certainly not a common term, nor likely the main one used by most people for whatever it is describing.
  23. David Hingtgen
    I'm going to get a Leo but don't want to buy the whole option set. Anyone willing to sell off just a piece or two?
  24. David Hingtgen
    Takara did something very similar on the first Masterpiece Optimus Prime, on the lower legs. They were much larger slats/legs though, the mechanism would have to be much smaller for a valk.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I need more than just a game appearance to pony up the cash for a DX. Though, I mean, I won't be able to get one anyways, becuase they'll ship 8 to HLJ and 4 to Ami-Ami, and that'll be it. I still need a v2 Alto -25F...
