    I'm a little late, but check the lower knees, elbows/upper foream(inside), and wrists.

    X-35B, actually. Also, EVERY plane had an "FF" tailcode. But that's USAF, not Navy... (of course, SHIELD isn't really either, but IMHO they should have their own tailcode, and any Navy/Marines stuff they have should conform to Navy markings if not unique-to-SHIELD-markings---certainly not Air Force!

    I plan to buy FF13-2 when the "everything included" edition comes out, and is like 20 bucks.

    I can't tell a MiG-17 from a -19 either. Anyways---I'd say this guy does overall the best LEGO jets out there---any photo in his Flickr account is worth looking at, here's a good starting point: http://www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/6271483893/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/6487525793/ And here's his BIG B-1B: http://www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/6271962846

    A private MiG-23? Very interesting, hadn't heard of such a thing before.
  6. David Hingtgen
    That's because they're all photoshops/concepts. Nobody has actually seen it. (and the one all the sites are showing as the camoflaged one, is the NASCAR version---and we all know how much a NASCAR Charger/Camry resembles the real thing)

    Somehow, the VF-27's wing-mounted engines seem to mesh/work so much better.
  8. David Hingtgen
    It's supposed to be based off the 2013-14 VF, not the latest VE, Commodore. (I think 2011 was the last major update to the Commodore?)

    All depends how it looks, and how much it costs with the engine they actually equip it with. I would buy a "new G8 GT" in a second. (well, as in, as soon as I could actually buy a new car). But with how the new Impala looks, and the rumored price/engine, (and thus gas/insurance) it may not look that good and be too expensive to own. The G8 GT was an incredible value, and I kick myself every day for not waiting another year so I could have one. (though it would have been even better to wait 2 years and have an 09) A "new G8 GXP" is quite a niche market, I've still only seen 1 G8 GXP ever. What, $10-12K over the "basic" V8 G8? Even worse than the SRT8 models from Dodge-----*way* more money for just a bit bigger engine and speed, and unlike the Dodges, there's no "standard V8 model" that's more affordable. (if the Chevy SS is equivalent to the G8 GXP)

    The YF-29 is simply "too much" IMHO. The VF-25 is an "instant classic". The YF-29 is screaming "I'm an X-TREME valk" and should have flame deco and chromed rims. The VF-25 is the latest in the line descending from the VF-1, just better in every way.

    Dang it, I should have kept my Ozma pre-order just to trade for an Alto...
  12. David Hingtgen
    Fixed. But seriously--yes, this has been a growing problem. "Report a post" should really only be used for a post that is actually causing trouble and needs immediate attention--as in, this needs to be deleted before any more people read it and the poster should be warned/banned.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Just like how the v.1 DX VF-25 was fat and chunky just like Kawamori intended all along, and the CG was wrong? Or how Yamato's first VF-0A was how Shin's was REALLY supposed to look?
  14. David Hingtgen
    I wouldn't count on it--the artwork for the box shows all the angles wrong and just like the sample. I'm thinking they've never seen a VF-4 from head-on, as all the angles have been "the same amount of wrong" from day one.
  15. David Hingtgen
    I'm finding it amazing that it seems the majority of "TF fans who check TF websites every day etc" are only just now finding out about Super Ion. Apparently they all missed the clear big front-paged silhouettes from a few weeks ago, but the super-blurry pic caught everyone's eye. (and half of them are arguing about whether that's Silverbolt, Slingshot, or Fireflight despite how utterly clear it is that it's an F-4 Phantom)
  16. David Hingtgen
    Crap, that scheme's worse than I feared. Oh well, it'll save me some money. (that scheme I won't even consider buying, at all) No VF-4 for me. Anyways---man, the cover art looks even worse, angle-wise. The wings are STRAIGHT OUT. That's really, really wrong.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Pretty, but I think all the wing/fin angles from head-on are still wrong. (the wings are way too horizontal, that sticks out the most to my eye) And of course, it really all comes down to exactly how they're going to paint it in the end.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Robot mode---yup, they're SUPPOSED to have a jet on their back, so I'm fine with it. Jet mode---we'll see. Again, I'll be pretty lenient due to G1-homage, but I am very worried about Silverbolt, as a Concorde is just as bad as an SR-71 for trying to "fit a robot inside". (I pray they are aware of the XB-70, but pessimistically assume they don't know about it, or know about it but still went with a Concorde for G1-sake)

    New fuzzy pic of Not-Fireflight from the new Super-Ion:

    Erm, those comments are like 15 years out-of-date. I'm talking about 2009-2010 vs 2011-2012 markings. Anyways, awesome Fulcrum/Flanker diamond formation pic: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Russia---Air/Sukhoi-Su-27-(Su-27S)/1341091/L/
  21. David Hingtgen
    I think they honestly lost/forgot the original marking. Or didn't know there was more than one style--They "revived" it a few times---you could even see the old style on the CAG and the newer style on the CO at the same time, etc. I think it's frankly whichever stencil the paint guy grabbed at the time. And if they remembered to "mirror" it on the other side or not.
  22. David Hingtgen
    Am I the only one who didn't know the Jolly Rogers had gone back to black-n-white for their XO's plane? Like a year ago? http://www.airliners...uper/2060066/L/ http://www.airliners...Super/1924725/L Missing the white fin-tips, but I still think it looks cooler than the yellow version on a Super Hornet.
  23. David Hingtgen
    Agreed, the shield is very overlooked in valks for marking/identification purposes.
  24. David Hingtgen
    If you swing the wings back just a bit, can the inner missiles still stay attached to the wing? It looks to me like they'd only work when the wings are fully forward. (IMHO a lot of people seem to forget that the VF-11 swings its wings to any angle it needs depending on its speed like the VF-1 and F-14, and not JUST for transformation)

    I think she's really tall.
