    I would assume it works like any aircraft control with a lock on it---you cannot move it fully from one extreme to the other, without also lifting/pressing another latch to permit full movement. This is usually incorporated on the flap handle (and thrust reverser lever), to prevent accidently choosing fully extended or fully retracted from the opposite condition. So on a valk, I'd assume it naturally "stops" at GERWALK mode, and you can't go all the way fighter-battroid (or vice-versa) unless you "press the button" to allow moving it all the way from one side to the other. (and thus simply moving the throttle without pressing the button would make it automatically stop at 45 degrees, so you don't have to worry about "hitting the mark" in the heat of battle) I know on the F-16, you cannot simply "slam the throttles" all the way forward to full afterburner---it will stop at full non-burner. You have to rotate the throttles up/out a bit to get them over the stop. (learned that from the time I got a few mins of F-16 sim)

    That's what I assumed/hoped as well.

    On that note, I've now been looking for a v2 Alto for one year. I wanted one for Christmas---LAST Christmas. And it had just come out in Oct I think, and I started looking in Nov. Now it's Dec, 13 months later...

    Sad that a joke like that is probably less geeky than the "real' explanation.

    He uses shears. (I figure if anyone will get that, you will)
  6. David Hingtgen
    Dang, that's awesome.

    I wish this board had reputation points so I could give you some.

    I saw Malak several times. But Revan and Bastila? They may as well be convention exclusives. (and how anyone approved Malak's headsculpt is beyond me--the jaw is worse than Trap-Jaw from He-Man---it's 3x larger than it should be, and should NOT be a separate piece--makes the character look ridiculous)

    This is why I would pretty much only ever build this as Hikaru's TV 1J, and hope there's room for the wings to move easily inside the gloves.

    'tis what it says. The SW-XA-1. (I prefer the SW-XA-2, myself) One of Kawamori's not-quite-canon designs.
  11. David Hingtgen
    Despite being a huge KOTOR fan, I never saw Revan, nor did any of the people who helped me look. But I never even saw Bastila's wave/case. (I haven't bought an SW figure in years, but I would buy KOTOR ones if I ever found one)

    One of the "unaltered" lines there was one of the ones I didn't understand AT ALL in the theaters--should have re-done them all IMHO.

    That YF-29 looks more like Alto's, than Alto's does. ::edit:: Or apparently, it's a VF-29B. Man they got those into production fast...

    She was unquestionably the best part of GI Joe: Rise of Cobra.

    Macross 30

    David Hingtgen replied to Tochiro's topic in Games

    Milia's VF-1J? Awesome. Pink YF-19? Maybe awesome. Grace sighting? Awesome. VF-27 in game? Awesome. Please oh please oh please let Grace be an unlockable VF-27 pilot...
  16. David Hingtgen
    Bigger than I thought. Might snag it if HLJ gets more in. (Since bandai still doesn't want my money for a v2 Alto.)
  17. David Hingtgen
    Possibly the best part of the movie, sadly. Or not?
  18. David Hingtgen
    Considering how different the enterprise looks from all the other classes in that universe, I can't imagine there'd be another class similar enough to be confused with it. Certainly not for the coming out of the water scene. MAYBE for crashing into it. BTW was it ever said the new one is Constitution class?

    How big is a GFF Unicorn? (And do the armor panels hold tight when they're closed, or do they get sloppy over time?)
  20. David Hingtgen
    I swear they'd sometimes randomly change the timing. I could do 100+ in a row--then miss like 20 or 30 in a row (for the SAME attack)--I'd just have to quit and take a break/reset, because it's hard to keep battling in an RPG when every attack fails. Plus some of them were just really, really picky. Spear. Damn spear. Love the soundtrack, especially the boss music. I own the OST. (yes, a real actual copy of the actual official CD soundtrack) Annoyingly the battle music doesn't loop at all.

    In the end "newer is better". Regardless of grade.
  22. David Hingtgen
  23. David Hingtgen
    "Time" makes a bigger difference than grade IMHO. There's a whole lot of RG and even HG that seem to surpass many MG. And there's MG's arguably better than PG's. Really it's more "size" than complexity/articulation/accuracy, when it comes to grades, IMHO. Nowadays, at least.
  24. David Hingtgen
    Umm, wrong. I can easily clearly tell DVD vs Blu-Ray on my 32in and the difference is worth every penny.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I would say a good chunk of it is due to not actually being able to develop a new shape independently. YF-23 is stealthier, but no one seems to copy it that closely...
