    My first impression was WfC Ultra Magnus or something. I'd rather they spent their time on the rumored Menasor...

    OMG, there's more than 0.5mm of clearance between the gear doors and the ground! (that's an irk of mine with many Yamato valks---they practically sit on their gear doors in fighter mode--the YF-19 is probably the worst in that regard)

    Just a heads-up before I make an actual for-sale thread here and at TFW2005, but I'm selling my MP-01 Prime. Mint with mint box, very first batch straight from HLJ. Flawless. Please PM if interested.

    Few people played 2D Capcom fighters more than I did in the previous era----tons of JP-only Saturn and Dreamcast imports (SEGA was king for 2D sprites), etc. Now--I didn't even buy *Super* SF4, sold MVC3, and haven't bought anything since.

    I fiddle with display settings (DPI, system fonts, icon labels, magnification of screen elements) for *hours* and hours upon getting a new OS, monitor, etc. There's a difference between "I can read it" and "I can comfortably read it for hours at night without strain". Yes, I can read itty-bitty website font. "But I would prefer not to". So I over-ride everything, and have carefully chosen settings that allow 99% of sites to display 95% correctly, with much larger easier-to-read fonts. The few that don't---that's what the "text size" button is for, to temporarily shrink it down to fit. (as you may imagine, having MW's forums display properly is among the highest priority---if my 2 main sites don't work, the setting is worthless) And yes, to someone like me who's OCD with display settings----what does and doesn't scale properly in Windows is very apparent. I go into the registry to edit things that you can't with mere "appearance/personalization" settings.

    I'll assume you've never seen Macross M3 nor Macross 7 Dynamite. It's got 100x the animated canon screen-time that the VF-4 does. http://www.macross2....s7/vf-5000g.htm http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossga/vf-5000b-m3.htm

    I always use Roy and Mylene as good examples for scale vs size. If you had a 1/6 Roy next to a 1/6 Mylene, Roy better be a whole lot bigger than Mylene or someone screwed up. If they were instead the same size (12 inches) then they'd be different scales. The VF-1 is very small compared to most other valks---*IT* is the weird one of the family. But it's so famous/iconic that it's the "mental standard" for people regarding valkyrie size. And what EXO said----the other 95% of the valk may be to scale with the rest of itself and others, but the cockpit/pilot almost never is, to incorporate working hinges, detailed interior, etc.

    Unless such "purely cosmetic" things would have been included free in previous versions---probably unlockable by beating the game twice, or on hard, or something like that.
  10. David Hingtgen
    I'm guessing to elicit a response from you.

    The Optimus Prime car for ROTF was way cooler.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Or, they could always edge-enhance the hell out of it. You never know.

    Back of Sideswipe in robot mode: http://art64.photozou.jp/pub/92/2359092/photo/139484070_org.v1339859754.jpg
  14. David Hingtgen
    Yup. And that's the reason why. He'd be bigger if the only trailer we had was MP-04's.
  15. David Hingtgen
    It's a better-looking Airachnid than the actual Airachnid figure...
  16. David Hingtgen
    Scott Pilgrim had Final Fantasy and Zelda references though, so... PS----amazingly MISSED opportunity to have Jennifer Hale do a voice.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Wait wait--they chromed Sideswipe's JACKHAMMERS but not his WHEELS? (true, Countaches don't generally have chromed rims, but still...) I'm going to accurize the lights the moment I get him, though. (front turn signal looks unpainted---boo!) (and the back-up lights should have a red section up top) Anyways---if you don't want a Red Alert now you might after watching this: Note---mildly NSFW due to language. But the best Starscream impersonation ever IMHO.
  18. David Hingtgen
    I'll agree with you.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, since this isn't going to weigh anywhere near what other MP figures weigh, even with fast shipping I think it'll be cheaper than BBTS pre-shipping.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Well, HLJ just put up their pre-order, and I did so. You've got 6 days to decide and still get the 20% off. http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT45997 And yes, any US release would likely have grey wheels, I'd forgotten about the rims---US MP Hot Rod had grey rims, I'd really like chrome on mine...
  21. David Hingtgen
    Does the Takara release have any chrome? Maybe the exhaust pipes, but everything looks to be just silver paint. Those are all good points IMHO. It's a Countach, not a '55 Lincoln--there shouldn't be much chrome, if any.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Hmmmmn. Despite being a *huge* Sideswipe fan, I'm seriously considering holding off for a US release. That's a lot of money for what it is.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Erm, BSG is the best show this decade, period.
  24. David Hingtgen
    I am a lot nit-picky, thank you very much. (it wasn't JUST the legs not matching everything else, I personally felt every square inch of it was the wrong color--the legs were just the most wrong) Looking back on it, I really should have kept the pre-order, and traded it for an Alto. (as I am still VF-25-less)
  25. David Hingtgen
    That is indeed a BIG insignia. Hmmn. I am honestly *slightly* disappointed in the paint scheme---while it does follow the original G1 toy, the toy itself had a simplified paint scheme as it'd be too costly to emulate the exact scheme of the Countach it was based off of. This is neither a typical real Countach scheme, nor the scheme that the original G1 toy attempted to copy. (the G1 toy is based off of one particular Countach that had a unique paint scheme, the front fenders are the main giveaway)
