    Weltall-ID appears! http://hobbynotoriko.yumenogotoshi.com/hg-zeydra-i.html

    They're going to make 171 of course. PS---hey Graham, if Alto's renewal is still readily available in HK, could you pick up a few for needy MW members? Like a certain mod...

    Remember it's a French word, like pitot, so it's pronounced ver-nee-ay. Not ver-neer. Plural=ver-nee-ays. PS---so, katakana experts, accounting for the French pronunciation, does that affect spelling/canon? PPS--of course, how many people in Japan would know how it's correctly pronounced and thus translate it properly?

    BTW to all---I have a Soul Calibur V Dampierre code that I'll unlikely ever use (360 version), willing to trade for MS points, credits for gold months, etc.

    Go play Chrono Trigger. Period. Abandon all else.

    Basically, the sprues attach to the back of each piece, not the sides. Cut carefully, and you can maintain a flawless finish. This is Bandai, king of color-injection and slide-molding. They can route the sprues a slightly different way. (honestly, I wish they made ALL parts like that, as it'd make unpainted Gundam kits even nicer-looking, as you could avoid all sorts of sprue nubs/scars---but I figure it's more expensive to do so, and Bandai doesn't want to increase the price of an MG kit by like 20% just to reduce sprue scars)

    That's what I'm doing. I figure the valks themselves will be easier to acquire in the future (regardless of if they're re-released) than the armor and super packs.

    I felt no caption was needed.

    Bandai's Star Trek kits are actually pre-painted, entirely. Only ones I've seen.

    Preceding two ME1 posts spoiler-tagged for Omegablue's sake since it seems he'll soon be starting the series.

    My argument was that the sculpt isn't improved compared to a Trendmasters or even Masterpiece Voltron. With THAT big a scale to work with, I'd have expected something pretty darn amazing/screen-accurate. Not something which can't even fold the legs up all the way and still doesn't look that good in lion mode.

    I just realized that the overhead CAD drawing in battroid mode makes it look like they forget a major step in the transformation---that the rear panels between the wings and fuselage fold down 90 degrees. (yellow in Mr March's pic): http://macross2.net/...lorcode-vf4.gif PS----that blog also says 280mm tall in battroid mode, which is 11 inches. (though is that top of the head, top of the shoulders, or top of the tail fins? The VF-4's kinda weird in battroid mode).
  14. David Hingtgen
    I had no idea it was that much larger than the "standard" Voltron(s). That makes it even more sad that they couldn't improve the sculpt/leg articulation/transformation.
  15. David Hingtgen
    I thought ep 4 was by far the worst in the series, mainly because Banagher went way more "I have to understand humanity/emotions" than before, and more than even most other Gundam/anime pilots. Was all good up till then. Ending battle was awesome, but that's all because it was OTHER people doing the fighting.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Repainting the legs won't make them fold up any better in limb mode.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Looks more like Asuka than Sheryl, IMHO.

    Wish they'd ship them over en-masse to the US. I still need a 25F (but not for twice what it'd have cost to get from HLJ)
  19. David Hingtgen
    Exactly---they can't say "no VW's visible at all in any footage"---but they can definitely say "no making toys of our design". Think how many movies show an airplane taking off----yet aren't licensed by Boeing...

    Possibly stupid question, but it keeps bugging me: What is Jehuty Anubis, or Jehuty ver. Anubis etc? I've played both games and seen most all the anime. There's Jehuty, and there's Anubis, but they're 2 very different frames. But 90% of the merchandise lately seems to be "Jehuty Anubis"----why/what?
  22. David Hingtgen
    Yoshinol.

    Did we ever really get a look at Trypticon in station mode? (external/overall) I wonder if the transformation is at all feasible/plausible. (heh, he actually seems smaller in bot mode, which is kinda rare for a TF)
  24. David Hingtgen
    I've been playing just the opening 5 mins of the demo, to try out various "tweaks" to my Shepard(s). They changed the hair colors---as in, even if you directly import/copy, the color may be very different. All the reds are much redder/brighter now, really messes with my paragon Shep's look. Eye colors are different too, IMHO. Blues are still blue, etc, but just about every option looks different than it used to. (this happened in ME1 to ME2 as well, but to a lesser degree) So I'm spending time now to figure out how I want things, rather than on launch day when I'd rather be actually playing. Also---Kotobukiya Bishoujo Fem-Shep! http://www.bigbadtoy...ail&picture=out Unlike their Liara statue, it'll be hard to argue that the face is wrong...
  25. David Hingtgen
    Forget Fort Max, where's Trypticon?
