    PSST----just use FT's engineering on an XB-70. Pretty sure they could make it kibble-free at that point. The space they used for the shins/calves/thighs is "actually there" on an XB-70, and I'm sure they could fold the shoulders into a triangle-shaped-spot to make the tip of the intake.

    Bandai does, but then they paint over them.

    Actually came with stickers, or a file to print/make stickers with? If the former---who's selling these? I've never seen any MOC instructions that actually provided stickers. Generally, if stickers are provided--so are the bricks themselves, and you pay $$$$$$$ for it.

    I still complain about the first release's shade of blue. Shouldn't have to wait 4 years and pay double the price, to get the color it should have been in the first place. (It's not a PF vs non-PF thing, it's the BASE COLOR).

    Well, a 16-year-old just won $3 million for playing Fortnite, so I'd say---yeah.

    How many people actually ordered that set, and how many will actually build them all? I got one, built it, and am happy. Sure I'd love to have one or two of the custom ones, but not so much that I'll buy a few dozen extras just for them...
  7. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, you've gotta keep that under wraps! (see: YF-22 vs F-22A)

    Visual guide for all you need to know about 3P Omega Supreme: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/dx9-d12-gabriel-not-omega-supreme.1109629/page-100 Though IMHO, DX9 and FT are both massive fails in alt mode, because the entire track assembly is pointless since their tanks can't actually use the tracks at all. (And they don't even LOOK like they can either----no suspension of disbelief possible here) I mean, the tanks can SIT on top of the flattest part of the tracks, but they can neither take the curves nor go up and down the "hills" or roll around on it. It's like trying to get an MP carbot to use HotWheels track. Half the alt-mode may as well not exist. I am anxiously awaiting to see if HasTak Titan OS can actually USE his track to some degree. Or if it's really just a 3D background...

    No, it's more expensive than that...

    Note: 12-pack of semi-conformal missiles sold separately...

    Bumping, as the just-announced premium finish 0D probably deserves to be in this thread, more than the 0A/0S thread. Though---perhaps we should merge all the Arcadia VF-0 threads? It actually looks better now (more slate-grey-blue than powder blue) than it did at Wonderfest in February. Actually repainted/new sample, or just way different lighting? ::edit:: Official pic from Arcadia's twitter:
  12. David Hingtgen
    It needs a LOT more markings to be a premium finish. Are they SHOWING a regular, but ANNOUNCING the premium?
  13. David Hingtgen
    Wow, that actually looks like the right colors: If it ACTUALLY comes like this, and that don't completely change the colors between "sample and production" like they did with the original 0D, I'll buy it. (man will next year be expensive, a 2012 VF-4 and a premium 0D----good thing I haven't bought any valks since Mirage's)
  14. David Hingtgen
    Depends on the angle, more so than most planes.

    Hugh's daughter has been "bandied about" and I do think it's one of the more likely options. I still lean towards Data's* or Borg Queen's daughter a bit more. Also---we could have Q, meet Hugh... *like, Lal 2.0, made in secret or something.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Eh, less Windblade and more like really fancy Windblade cosplay.
  17. David Hingtgen
    HUGE Piranacon fan here, but I just don't think they look that great all things considered. The alt-modes are all over the place---Tentakil is terrible, Seawing's ok, Nautilator is a smidge better I think, Overbite ok, Skalor great. Haven't seen most bot-modes yet. If I could, I'd pick up a US mass release Skalor, but am not importing these guys at $35 each. Will stick with my TFC set.
  18. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, but it LOOKS cool. And a pilot's ego is the most effective thing there is, as Top Gun taught us all.
  19. David Hingtgen
    Eh, there's less below because they added humps on top. Considering how visible the upper surface is compared to the belly, I'd have actually preferred a little bit more "robot under the plane" rather than adding FAST packs alongside the passenger cabin, blocking out those very expensive first-class views outside the window...
  20. David Hingtgen
    New scheme? Metallic paint?
  21. David Hingtgen
    It's out enough that there's unboxing vids on youtube, commenting on the engines... Apparently 9 months wasn't enough time to change it from the sample they showed back in 2018.
  22. David Hingtgen
    I think I've come to the same conclusion as before----despite the zillion 3P Dinobots, there's still none I really like in dino mode (the most important mode). They all have some stupid deal-killing design decision (or two or three).
  23. David Hingtgen
    Are there any side-by-side comparison pics for Graviter vs Stomp in dino mode? (Gigapower's vs FT's Sludge). I rank dino-mode as the most important thing for a dinobot, but I seem to be in the minority. I'd also be very interested in the same thing for their Snarls.
  24. David Hingtgen
    And so, the final retail release of the Armada Executor, seems to have doubled-down on the blue engines error. Now, instead of "ISD light blue" they're almost a deep royal blue. WTF. I mean, were they watching the VERY special edition or what?
  25. David Hingtgen
    Relevant, and still one of the oldest and funniest pics I know of from the 'net:
