  1. Some neat vids of sonic booms:
  2. It's a myth based on the fact that the US and Japan are the same BD region (which is one of the main import paths for games/movies). But there are regions, just like DVD's---but fewer regions, so more countries share the same region than before.
  3. Of the 4000+ F-16's built, 2 have delta wings. And only 1 I think has canards. None have both.
  4. He's a not-F-16. As in, obviously based on the F-16, but purposely altered so as to avoid any sort of copyright law. Kind of like how ROTF Dirge is not a Harrier. BTW, every SAAB jet of the past 40+ years has been a canarded, delta-winged plane. Starscream is neither.
  5. Someday, someone will make a combining voltron toy where the waist of green and red lion are NOT garishly obviously giant hinges. And where red lion isn't 3 cubes stuck together. (no, red lion is not my fave lion, at all---but it does seem to look the least accurate most often and is IMHO a good one to judge the group as a whole on)
  6. I do not like the proportions on that Gouf Custom. Especially the shield/weapons. All too short/stocky.
  7. Especially that last point. If a mod (or two) says stop---STOP.
  8. Note, it has the commander-type head. They kinda retconned non-Commander types to have the other head (which only exists in 1/72, not 1/60) So it's not really a normal type despite the box label--it is a green, commander-type. Which so far, only Grace has piloted. (screen evidence notwithstanding, because they didn't make a new CGI head model for 5 secs of background shots for the other 2 green ones)
  9. Plus there's a lot fewer schemes, variants, and screen time.
  10. Yes, but it was also Grace's, and was marketed/labled as such.
  11. I think I've seen a 7-year thread revival here....
  12. The missing super packs were the last ep. But ep 7 has all the "good" shots of the CF.
  13. Yes, the cape needs to be part-swapping. But everything else works. Little different from swapping hands on a valk.
  14. Why on Earth is communism and/or Chinese politics being discussed here? Not another word, not even in response to this post, or get banned.
  15. Yes, just like there's a lot of anime Magic in the -19 valkyries--and Yamato keeps getting closer and closer with them. They should try the Escaflowne again.
  16. Because we all know how much Yamato has improved over the years. A nice new transforming Escaflowne could be the centerpiece of a collection.
  17. The "little giant" pilot ability is a HUGE boost for fighting mobile armors. It's not like a 10-20% bonus. It builds up the bar like 4 or 5 times faster I think.
  18. VF-X scheme done on the new kit---now I want Yamato to do it even more: http://mecha-guy.blogspot.com/2011/07/vf-11b-thunderbolt-macross-plus-hobby.html
  19. What do people do to their valks that they need any sort of "cleaner" (alcohol etc) at all? Mine never have anything more than common household dust, which is easily removed with nothing more than a small brush, or water if really needed.
  20. Yeah, I know GI Joe doesn't perfectly follow the real military, but the custom markings for the pilots should go on the nose, not the tail. IMHO, don't replace the tail stickers---add them to the nose. That's how it's been done since the early days. PS--the Skystriker has always had its weaponry layout wrong. Basically--put nothing where Hasbro says, and you'll be correct.
  21. I'll post this again, made it myself, accurate to a pixel----an F-22 and Peterbilt 379 to scale. So Starscream should be absolutely MASSIVE next to Prime in bot mode.
  22. Seconding Camaro5.com For the last gen, CamaroZ28.com (aka CamaroSS.com) was the place, but Camaro5 definitely eclipsed them.
