    Yup. Boeing likes raked wingtips-----the 764, 772LR, 773ER, 787, and 748 all have them instead of winglets. Boeing hasn't designed a plane with winglets since 1989. (though newer 737s almost all have them now, they are not part of the original 737NG design). Generally--they'll retrofit a winglet, but if starting from scratch they want to rake the tip. I figure it also can't be added later, or they'd have used the 764's tips to retrofit 762's and 763's.

    It's been a long time since I've seen an actual Skystriker--going from memory, I think many 1/48 decals would work?

    Gray and orange are kind of odd for house colors, but here's the first pax 747-800: (I refuse to call it 747-

    You forgot Roy's VF-0S.

    I posted that like, 10 posts ago--it's still on this page. Anyways---seems Takara's next 2 "Masterpiece Movie" figs will be Leader Sentinel Prime and Ironhide. Hmmmn. Price vs paint will certainly be a figure for which version to buy.

    If only.

    It was obvious months ago they were going with "iconic art on box" Bastila, not "how she actually looks". I think that's mainly to placate the non-gaming fans, who have likely only ever seen that one pic that's always shown of her. I too much prefer the orangey-coral-pink version. (it's hard to describe that color)

    That struck me in the first second they showed it. Sure, she's probably learned a lot from Anakin---but Anakin can build working starships and droids from scrap...

    It's a Bioware game, so you know how the dialogue tree/choices work. Combat is more old-school quasi-turn driven, akin to KOTOR.

    Looks to me like they angled/curved every button and switch in an attempt to look "cool" with no thought given to ergonomics.

    I just saw something mentioned but it's one of those things that's impossible to get good search results for: It seems that Takara-Tomy is going to re-release a ROTF Prime mold again? Will this be yet another Buster Prime or what? I missed out/waited too long and never got one, so if they're doing it again I'm very interested. (especially since I am so not impressed by DOTM Prime---dare we hope for an even better one in the future?)

    New "iconic" Storm Shadow is neat. Skystriker engines--weird. My money's on the guy just went to images.google.com and typed in "F-14", and didn't realize that F-14D engines won't work for an F-14A mold, but tried to scribe them in anyways.

    Technically POC, but it is so a 25th Ann Techno-Viper: http://www.theterrordrome.com/wp-content/gallery/toy-fair-2011/poc-techno-viper.jpg

    This could go in several threads, but I'll put it here. Future SDCC exclusive crossover. Skystriker re-release as Starscream with flightsuit Cobra Commander with Megatron as his pistol. Pic credit to http://GIJoeClub.com

    Future can be brushed on by hand to a smoother finish than many clear coats can be airbrushed. The difference is most noticeable when applied to a canopy or windshield.

    If that thumbnail was any bigger I'd consider it a fairly major spoiler.

    IMHO the feet aren't too small---the ankles are too big.
  18. David Hingtgen
    And stronger and easier to apply. There's a reason it's used on so many award-winning models. It's considered as essential as paint and glue for plastic kit builders nowadays.

    Interesting. Wonder if Kawamori was thinking of the F-14-----it's said that opponents learned to "read" the position of the wings as a clue for the plane's energy status---and soon after F-14 pilots started to adjust the wings manually to try to trick their opponenets.

    I've only seen about half of them (and I have to search them out at local rental places) but went with Spirited Away---almost clicked on Laputa, but Laputa is more of an "overall feeling" of liking it, while Spirited Away I vividly remember many specific scenes and moments, so it certainly left a greater impression. Howl's Moving Castle is my most recently-seen one. (I think Mononoke was the first).

    Interesting---new Legos. With a new Asajj figure. And she's wearing the outfit she had in the previous animated Clone Wars series. (I don't think "outfit changes" count as a spoiler) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/uploads//1296693960/gallery_2351_21_359021.jpg

    Ok, did I miss something, or was the reason for the multi-segment Sv-52 ailerons never actually posted?
  23. David Hingtgen
    And the outer ones are bent, too...
  24. David Hingtgen
    Correct, but it no longer looks like the pic in the article. The change isn't as big as when it went from Future to Pledge w/Future though.
  25. David Hingtgen
    No, it's not a typo, it's the reason I posted. THAT is how long "reputable sources" have been talking about how ZOE 3 is coming. Nothing ever comes of it. (actually, with a 2007 ETA, the article is likely from 2006) Somewhere I think there's a 2008 interview about ZOE 3...
