    A notch/bump that will "lock" the wing into a specific position. This makes it easy to get both wings at the exact same angle. It's kinda like a ratcheting joint but simpler and looser.

    They're not "new new" since the v.1 VF-1 had them. (and they were awesome and are much-missed)

    Normally, this'd be nose-art, but it's on the tail: zz_chinook2 by Hickory Shampoo, on Flickr zz_chinook3 by Hickory Shampoo, on Flickr

    Oooh, wing indents! The lack of them on the V2 VF-1 annoys me EVERY time I position the wings.

    "Doesn't fly any faster than the 707". Doesn't even fly AS fast... (the 707 is still one of the fastest airliners ever, 747 is still the fastest non-SST)

    Hey, just because Mylene has long, straight, pink hair and is cute... (she's from M7, so it's almost sorta related to this thread) But yeah, we should get back to the VF-17...
  7. David Hingtgen
    Eh, I got an HLJ shipment in like 20 hours once. (A Zoid for Christmas, when they still used UPS) And yeah---we should start forming "Ozma armor group buys" like now. And Alto Super Packs, of course.
  8. David Hingtgen
    Oh yeah, F-22 grounded again. Same reason.

    Shadow has RBD as his avatar now, too. And I'm seriously thinking about changing mine...

    VMFA-232 is listed in the game's credits---not sure for what. There is no Legacy Hornet in the game, so I figure Namco is "saying thanks" as best they can this way. (though again---no Legacy Hornet?)

    "plane mode fails---MP-03 color scheme better"-----are you saying Greenscream has a better/more accurate paint-job than the Ghost Grey G1 version? Can't quite tell what you mean from your post. MP-11 is the first G1-esque Starscream toy since the original G1 toy itself to actually get the color right. (still dunno why "G1 SS" has been nearly white the past couple of iterations---he never was before, he was always very clearly definitely obviously grey)

    Wonder if we'll see a Guillame repaint. (though it's pretty easy to do yourself I'd imagine, with some rubbing alcohol) **idea** THAT's it. That'll be how they sell the "Alto" Super Pack. It'll be bundled with a *Guillame* VF25F.

    Yup. Never beat it though. I do remember it coming on a zillion black 3.5" discs, and requiring me to remove EVERY other program from my 30MB HDD though. (and it never ran well, a 286 just wasn't enough)
  15. David Hingtgen
    Knees and shins, yes---but the arms are exactly the same, on the bottom surfaces. The basic F-15 fuselage is dead flat and square where sides of the the arms are. Adding CFT's did round it off---but since a CFT-less F-15 is square there, blocky square arms are just as accurate. (and the waist is pretty similar between the 2 versions)
  16. David Hingtgen
    I think I'll wait until after I own a V2 VF-25 to answer this.
  17. David Hingtgen
    The exposed cockpit may be why the VF-27 does have a tail, and a non-clear-canopy---it needs the additional pilot protection! Attack from behind!
  18. David Hingtgen
    I think Super Pack on Ozma's was only seen in one ep (episode 3 I think)---maybe it didn't sell well for V1 for that reason and they don't think it's worth it? (or THAT would be the Tamashii Web Exclusive)
  19. David Hingtgen
    Just like they hid the VF-27's "tail" most of the time. (seriously, most people didn't even notice it until the models/toys came out)
  20. David Hingtgen
    It's exposed on the "real" one, too. (it's even more so on the VF-27). I think the animators in Frontier deliberately tried hard to use camera angles that hid this fact. But if you freeze-frame some scenes, you can easily see a totally exposed cockpit in battroid mode with many poses.
  21. David Hingtgen
    How did you do the light on the nose gear door?
  22. David Hingtgen
    No, it looked amazingly good based on how G1-accurate the robot mode was. Kawamori just added CFT's (of the wrong shape up front) to hide the arms from the side. Robot mode took a HUGE step back for a small improvement from one angle in jet mode. (and this is coming from a guy who leaves most of his valks and TF's in vehicle mode)
  23. David Hingtgen
    IMHO the vehicle mode improvement isn't enough to warrant re-purchasing. (in some ways it's worse). Anyways---Buster Prime 2-pack reissue? Hmmn. May buy it. (I still regret missing it last time). Is it EXACTLY the same as the previous two-pack? Specifically--chrome? Pin-striping color? (blue vs silver). Mouth vs mask?
  24. David Hingtgen
    I've always thought the fact that Milia's VF-22 is kinda pink was a "deterrent" to many buyers. (myself included). Yeah, it's anime-accurate/canon, but I think most people want RED Milia valks.
