    There ya go. PS--Miho is beating out Sally in M7? Surprising.

    Why not use your mod-powers and rectify the situation?

    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.
  20. 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.
  21. David Hingtgen
    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.
  22. David Hingtgen
    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?
  25. David Hingtgen
    And the outer ones are bent, too...
