    Yeah, but will it LOOK GOOD? It's not hard to make a combining Voltron toy. But I've yet to see one that has decent lion-modes. Yamato or Takara may be able to do so now with a Masterpiece price point, but not any other company IMHO, and not cheaper.

    Yup, very Ferris-esque. (after all these years, it's still the reference for "cool geometric schemes")

    Why on Earth would you reply to a one-YEAR-old post with something like this?

    One fewer B-17 in the world: In happier times:

    Same problem as many other animated projects--a clash of styles. Lush 2D hand-drawn characters with cheap CG backgrounds always looks bad. 3D Flash-generated characters over painted 2D backdrops always looks bad. And Digimon-esque semi-SD characters piloting realistic Gundams looks bad... Basically, they dropped Digimon characters into Frontier's world---it just plain looks weird.

    I was really hoping for 2 beam saber blades---normal, and "cutting Barge in half" size. And yeesh---all clear-clear, no clear-green?

    Just finished it, but "Zeta Gundam".

    It's not often we see a cool, new, military HELICOPTER demo scheme: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Netherlands---Air/Boeing-AH-64D-Apache/1932269/L/

    PITA to apply, or PITA to remove? Most things are the latter IMHO. PS---I often wonder if my claying technique is wrong or something, as I seem to spend a LOT more time doing it than most people. I wonder if I simply use too small a chunk. (as I've read many times not to use too big a chunk, so that if you drop it and get sand etc in it, you haven't ruined a $10-sized chunk)

    If there wasn't, then Mylene would have like a VF-11C Kai, and not a MAXL Kai. If there's no basic MAXL, Mylene can't have the Kai version of it.

    The red one is the main one. Either upgraded or with a Full Armor system. Same for the blue one. There's just the one Gundam, equipped in different ways.

    Raptor One was asking about Mylene's MAXL vs other MAXL's, not MAXL vs standard -11. Mylene doesn't fly a VF-11MAXL, she has a VF-11MAXL Kai. As it is, there are "normal" MAXL's quasi-officially in the literature, but never seen, just fan-art. Basically, make a delta-winged VF-11. Or take all the "girly" elements away from Mylene's. I think one of the main debates is whether a standard MAXL would have the circle ankle vernier like the later VF-19's and Mylene's do.

    On that note---anyone have a suggestion for longevity? I'm the kind of person who doesn't clay/polish very often but when I do I go all-out with a day-long session of many steps/products---clay once a year or so, wax two or three if the car's lucky---so I tend to use the longest-lasting sealant (not true wax) I can find. AFAIK Nxt is among the easiest-to-apply-longest-lasting sealants out there. I've heard about Klasse All-in-One a lot, but never actually tried it---plus so many people say it's a b*tch to apply and remove.

    While I think I've only ever seen it actually painted on Air Force planes, indicating a block number with a hyphen after the basic model designation is a correct nomenclature AFAIK. As in, F-15E-26. So a VF-4A-0 would be a VF-4A, Block 0 like Seto Kaiba said.

    See, I absolutely require a glowing PG Unicorn. It's why I didn't buy the MG. I'll gladly trade transformation for an internally-lit destroy mode.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Renamed topic, as the old one was technically wrong.
  17. David Hingtgen
    Any chance of an MG Zeta Plus A1 2.0?
  18. David Hingtgen
    We've got a 15-page thread on it--just hasn't been posted to in a while: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=22384

    The original Idolo is the best ZOE design. Jehuty is just an imitator, despite being much more famous.

    Re: visible projection. I suspect it's more like a blade or something stored on the back, rather than something on the neck/face. With Exia etc, Bandai seems to like "metal blades" almost more than beam sabers now...
  21. David Hingtgen
    Gotta say---ZOE 1 and 2 remake is pointless when we've been asking for ZOE 3 forever. (and if they're re-releasing 1 and 2 to drum up enthusiasm for an upcoming 3---that just reiterates how long it's been, it's way over-due) MGS 2 and 3 are fine--since we already have 4.

    So prophetic--they were just hacked again, with another million emails/passwords/birthdays/addresses posted in plain text. http://money.cnn.com/2011/06/02/technology/sony_lulz_hack/index.htm?source=cnn_bin&hpt=hp_bn3

    I use absolutely nothing in the interior beyond basic soap and water to clean up mud splatters. But the biggest part of that is to never let it get dirty in the first place. NOBODY eats ANYTHING in my car. Period. I also do not transport young children, dogs, mohair sweaters, etc in it.

    Mostly Meguiar's Nxt having tried most of the other "non-premium but new" stuff. Especially their car wash/shampoo---it's the ONLY stuff that'll suds up well in our uber-insanely-hard water. I haven't been able to find it for many months, I may be screwed when I run out, as shipping costs are twice what the MSRP is due to weight. And that whole line smells better/less than most. PS---Meguiar's "Deep Crystal" car wash is not it. That stuff is everywhere and more of a deep pink. Nxt car wash is blue-purple and much thicker.

    I still really like FF X. Never did replay 12. Will probably replay 13 some day. Loved FF9. (except for the villain--and really, much of the story/plot-- it's more like, I loved 9's design/theme/music/art/style)
